My summary:

Winter Hamilton is a resident physician with her life falling apart. Her perfect heart surgeon of a husband is really a douchebag, her perfect plastic surgeon mother is only concerned with public opinion, and the only person she wants a relationship with is her estranged sister. After deciding to get a divorce and switch hospitals, Winter goes out to Chestnut Springs for Christmas with her sister, Summer, at the Eaton ranch. Sparks fly when Winter first meets Theo Silva, a cocky and charming bull rider, and the protégé of her sister’s fiancé. After a fiery first exchange, the night ends with Winter and Theo making an agreement for a one night stand with no strings attached. But that plan goes to shit with a surprise pregnancy.

My thoughts:

This fourth book of the Chestnut Springs series does not disappoint. It starts off with a bang. Well, actually, more of a tease. And I was immediately hooked!

I would never have guessed that I would like the one night stand and secret baby trope as much as I do in this book. It’s somehow sweet and still pretty hot at the same time.

There is a point early on in this book where I saw no redemption possible for Theo. But Elsie Silver worked her magic and I am Team Theo all the way.

I feel like Winter is a little too relatable at times. I hate for the bitchy girl in the series to be the one I see myself in, but, here we are. It is nice to get her point of view after only getting her sister’s side of the story in the previous books. And it’s really nice to see her character develop through the story and for her to get a happy ending (c’mon, it’s a romance book, I’m not spoiling that there’s a happy ever after).

I’m still loving the Harvey bonus scenes at the end! They are in the Blooms edition books and it feels like its own fun series.

I can’t believe how fast I’ve read this series and I’m sad that I only have one book left, but I’m really interested in getting Beau’s story.

OK! This book was great! I liked other one on the series better but it was sooo good. Theo Silva is an amazing MMC, I just love him to pieces. The way he stepped up to do his role with Vivi was just incredible and the love he has for his baby girl is the most heartwarming thing ever. Seeing Winter develop and change so much because of the events in the book was just perfect, she went from being an Ice Queen to just being so in love with Theo and Vivi. The relationship that Winter and Vivi was just so refreshing to see, and the way she handled her single mom life before Theo came along was touching because she did it with so much love even through the rough moments because of the love that she had for her baby girl. Theo and Vivi's relationship was also so beautiful, you can see how much he loves his girl and he would do anything and everything for her. Winter and Theo's relationship was also so special, I think that even if Vivi wasn't a part of their lives they would have found each other at some point, they are just perfect for each other and their relationship is the sweetest. ALSO! Winter and Summer's relationship developmet in this book was just PERFECT! I loved to see it and it was a great addition to Winter's character development. Would definitely re-read this book without a second thought.
