#BookReview: Powerless (Chestnut Springs #3) by @AuthorElsie @Read_Bloom

Synopsis: Two childhood friends. Two broken hearts. One impromptu road trip to get away from everything. That’s all this was supposed to be. Afterall, I’ve been living in the friend zone for years now.

But hockey heartthrob Jasper Gervais isn’t looking at me like a friend anymore. And he isn’t touching me like one either.

To his fans, he’s the handsome, talented athlete on TV. But to me he’s still the lost boy with sad eyes and a heart of gold.

The man I’ve loved in secret for years.

So when my life falls apart on my wedding day, it only makes sense that he’s the one to swoop in and save me. And when his world comes crashing down around him, I’m there to return the favor.

But the more time we spend alone, the more Jasper doesn’t feel like a friend at all. He feels like everything I’ve ever wanted and thought I could never have.

Our feelings aren’t straight forward though. They twist and turn around the pain of his past and the reality of my present.

Jasper Gervais acts like he wants me.

But after years of turning me away, he’s going to need to prove it.

My Review: I have mixed feelings about this book. Jasper and Sloane were being so hard headed for most of the book. He almost let her get married without letting his feelings be known! Also the privilege versus hard life story gets redundant. There’s only so many “I’m not good enough for her” that I can take. I think there was too much not communicating for me. It doesn’t help that I’m not the biggest childhood friends to lovers fan. It is nice when they finally do get together.

She lives just outside of Vancouver, British Columbia with her husband, son, and three dogs and has been voraciously reading romance books since before she was probably supposed to. 

She loves cooking and trying new foods, traveling, and spending time with her boys–especially outdoors.

It’s during this time that she can sip a cup of hot coffee and dream up a fictional world full of romantic stories to share with her readers.
