Review: Jasper & Sloane - best friends to HEA - Another excellent read from author Elsie Silver. I can't WAIT to read this entire series again, like going back for a 2nd piece of pie at Thanksgiving ;) In Powerless, we learn why Jasper has such deep sadness in his soul. In the first two books, there are simply allusions to him having a less than stellar home life. What he really had was a shattered childhood. But Harvey and the Eaton boys took him in when he had lost everything. Sloane and Jasper met when she was 10 and he was 16. Sloane took one look at Jasper and fell head over heels for him - for the next 18 years. She tried to grow herself out of it, but the facts were simply that he was her person and she was his. It was just a matter of time. What she doesn't realize that she's merely a pawn in the eyes of her father - he's basically just been grooming her for an arranged marriage that has absolutely nothing to do with love. I just love Harvey and his horrible jokes and his old farmer's wisdom. What a wonderful character. I also loved Sloane's mother, and I'm kind of hoping for a future romance between these two, even if Harvey was already married to Cordelia's sister. I'm not a really big fan of the MMC taking on that 110% controlling alpha mode in the bedroom (or kitchen, whatever). And the edging? Ooof. I do understand why Jasper takes on that persona, as it's probably the only thing in his life he's ever been able to control. I just wish that it wasn't 98% of the time. I love the scenes where the lovemaking becomes something more than just the characters, that true and simple melding of souls in a physical manifestation. And yes, I do realize that Sloane can take control if she wants it - I just wish Jasper knew that she is the last person on earth who he needs that control for. Excellent story, well done. Just a fraction under Reckless in my rankings of my favorite Chestnut Springs books. Sweet Scale: 4/5 Spicy Scale: 4.5/5
Review: A terribly wonderful romance marred by really odd spice - I loved so much about this book. Jasper and Sloane have so much chemistry, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for them to finally kiss. The anticipation was built slowly and wonderfully. I even woke up 2 hours before my alarm just to get extra reading time in. You can feel the weight of the history of Jas and Sloane. It feels real, and it really does feel like they've known each other since they were kids. I was looking for something to scratch that itch of childhood friends / coming-of-age / to lovers, and this did it fantastically. Jas and Sloane had years of romance and closeness built between them before they ever even kissed. Sitting together, comforting each other's grief, bathed in the moonlight on a quiet summer night hit all the high notes for me. And when they finally got together, it was written so well. The thing that knocks a star off of my rating is the actual spice of the book. It's like whiplash. For 200 pages, we've seen Jasper be this shy, golden retriever, wanting to follow Sloane's lead. But when they hooked up, Jasper's personality did a total 180, and he became a total dominant, ordering Sloane to crawl on her knees for him. It was absolutely bizarre, and didn't fit with the character at all. Sloane spent her life being forced to do what the men around her ordered her to, whether it was her dad or her fiance. So it is totally against any character arc for her to, once she's finally found freedom, go back to being totally subservient to whatever the nearest man tells her to do. How wonderful would it have been for Sloane to be the dominant in their relationship? It would be far more fulfilling in terms of their character arcs. Sloane finally gaining control, and Jasper finally letting go of control. Jasper has been wound so tightly since he was a teenager, it would have been nice to see Sloane tell him he didn't have to think about everyone else for once, and let Sloane turn his overthinking brain off. But, I get that that the man ordering a woman to do near degrading things is very popular in this genre. That 17 letter anagram is very popular for a reason, I suppose. And that can have its time and place. But this book definitely wasn't it, not with the story it was telling, and not with these characters. Still, 4 stars because the romance itself was everything I was looking for in this moment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elsie Silver writes another perfect MMC
*by E***N on November 6, 2025*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (more if Amazon would let me) Oh. My. Heart. Powerless by Elsie Silver completely wrecked me in the best way possible. I don’t even know where to start because I’m still riding the emotional high. This book isn’t just a friends-to-lovers romance—it’s the friends-to-lovers romance. Childhood friends, unspoken longing, years of tension, and that perfect slow burn that makes you want to scream into a pillow? Yeah, that’s this book. Jasper and Sloane own me now. Their chemistry is insane—like, butterflies in my stomach, can’t-stop-smiling, why-am-I-tearing-up level insane. Elsie Silver does that magical thing where the banter is fun and flirty, but the emotional beats just hit. You can feel every heartbeat, every glance, every moment they’re trying (and failing) not to cross that line. And let’s talk about Elsie’s writing—so vivid, so tender, and so charged that it feels cinematic. The tension builds beautifully, and when it finally snaps? 🔥🔥🔥 Absolute perfection. Also, the way Silver weaves in family, loyalty, belonging, and healing… chef’s kiss. It’s not just about love—it’s about home. And somehow, she makes you feel like you’re right there on the ranch with them, falling in love right alongside these two idiots who were obviously made for each other from page one. In short: I laughed, I cried, I blushed, I screamed, I highlighted half the book. Powerless is swoony, emotional, and completely unputdownable. If you like your romances with depth, heart, and heat—run, don’t walk.
