Where to start? This book is so much more than just a
romance novel. It’s a story about what happens when you peel away the layers of
who you think someone is and find out they’re more than you could’ve imagined. Rhett
and Summer have so much dimension to their characters, and little by little we
see their evolution brought on by the support of each other. There’s an element
of genuine caring for one another, and it’s this depth of their feelings that
made all their interactions that much more intense. It’s compelling story
writing at its finest, and the way Rhett and Summer navigate their new circumstances
in regard to what’s already gone on in their lives feels so meaningful. I was sucked
right into this book from the start, and I didn’t want it to end.
Right away I loved Summer’s character, because she’s completely
likeable and strong but has this sunny spark to her, too. And Rhett? At first,
I thought he was going to maybe be brash or whatever, but I was so wrong. Like
SO wrong. He’s a tough guy for sure (comes with the territory of being a bull
rider and working his whole life on his family’s ranch), but there is so much
more to him than his profession and others’ assumptions of him. He’s sweet and
caring under his rough exterior, and I loved how perfect he turned out to be
for Summer.
Also, this book is incredibly well written. Elsie has very
quickly become one of my absolute favorite authors, and I can already say
without a doubt that Flawless is going to be one of my top picks for this year.
It’s literally just that good. The characters, witty banter, descriptions, flow,
and pacing of this book were all spot on, and I cannot think of one thing in
this book that I would’ve like to be different. When I say this book is good, I
mean it is as close to perfect as I could’ve hoped for it to be. If I could
give it more than 5 stars I would.
If you’ve read books by Elsie before, you already know you’re
going to enjoy Flawless. If this is the first of her books that’s piqued your
interest, then I can promise you that you’re going to want to read it. Sweet,
steamy, and witty, Flawless is a phenomenal start to this series, and I am beyond
excited to see what else is in store for us with the larger cast of characters.
