Description

"He kissed his best friend's little sister, and the world stood still. That night, they were two perfect strangers: the town's grumpy recluse and a gorgeous girl in the back of a bar. Until they weren't. Because Nadia Dalca isn't just some girl. She's the one girl Griffin Sinclaire can't have. Fourteen years younger than him and completely off-limits. After their forbidden kiss, Griffin's plan is to stay away, but the universe keeps pushing them together. It's like some sort of cosmic joke, show more to give him a taste of something so electric--so real--something that breathed life back into him. Because he can look, but he can't touch her again. But with her sinful curves, her lighthearted laugher, and her secret wild side, Griffin's addicted to every last bit of her. And when she turns those sultry eyes on him--the ones so full of longing, so free of judgment? Well, he's always considered himself a strong man, but for her, he's weak. To give in to their connection would be a betrayal. Griffin's life is beyond complicated, and Nadia has the world at her fingertips. Her brother is the only family she has left, and as sad as it sounds, he's also Griffin's only friend. But he kissed her again anyway."-- show less

Another series completed by Elsie for me. Did i enjoy it? Absolutely!

I did think this last book lagged a bit and there wasn't as much drama as her other ones but i still really enjoyed it. Age gap trope will always be a win in my book. Even though she could have done more with the characters.
Really enjoyed following Nadia and Griffin. I am sad to be at the end of the Gold Rush Ranch, and really have liked Elsie Silver's writing. I really connected with Nadia and her coming more into her skin and enjoying being an adult.
I liked Elsie Silver's other series better than this one. This one actually comes first chronologically.

It's odd to me that the trope here is age gap when the second book in this series also has an age gap. However I do like the end of this book how it moved through a chunk of time.
4.4 stars

What a wonderful journey this series has taken me on. I loved the characters and their journey there was something powerful to them for them to come together.

There were a few areas that I wished had been fleshed to out, like Griffin's big secret. This series was a fantastic one though.

It's bittersweet sweet that its over. I'll just have to count on Violet's brothers to continue on this great series in order to get my fix.
