Review
    The characters were boring, they had no personality. I would say their personalities were equivalent to a blank piece of paper. At first they were cute but it quickly turned to cringe really fast. For example, Ford saving Rosie's diary from 10 years ago is kinda weird because she clearly didn't want it anymore. It was supposed to be cute, but it was a bit creepy.  They MCs both came across as immature and childish when it came to how they felt to their feelings for each other. Also, the book did not need to be more than 300 hundred pages, the fact that it was over 400 hundred on Kindle was criminal. Once the smut started, it wouldn't stop.

    Was there even a real plot to this book? It felt like I was reading a whole lot of nothing, like the plot is just the romance between Ford and Rosie, there's no side plots of relevance. I wanted to learn more about his company and have scenes with artists recording songs, but that wasn't relevant to the love plot, so it didn't happen. The way the single dad trope works in this book was odd and random. I usually like this trope but not the way Elsie Silver did it. Can he even be considered a single dad?
    Rosie was so annoying, like ma'am you don't need to argue about everything. She was always trying to piss Ford off, which was very childish considering the fact that she's in her late twenties. It was giving middle school. She was not a good person, she was with her bf wasting his time while she was literally in love with Ford. I don't even understand the point of her having a bf when it was made clear from the start that their relationship was dead. Rosie had zero character growth through out the book, her whole personality was being in love with Ford. Also it was weird that she didn't have any friends back home, it seemed like her only friends has always been her brother and ford. I wanted to see her have more friends outside of Ford. 
    Ford had zero personality. He literally has no hobbies or interests, dude was so boring. Nothing about him screamed billionaire, he never took Rosie out on any romantic fancy dates or anything. He was giving scrub even though he wasn't. I don't really have much to say about him because he didn't really do much the entire book. Also, why does he have so much free time if he's a billionaire with a company? Why is he never at meetings?  He was a cute bf though. 

    Overall, it was cute at some parts, but dragged on for way too long and was boring. If you love Elsie Silver then read Wild Love
