What an AMAZING start to this new series by Kelly Elliott!! I loved every word of this book. I was so excited to read this story and I couldn’t put it down.
When I first met Chloe as a spunky 5 year old in Lost Love (Book 1 of the Angels & Cowboys Series) I instantly fell in love with her and when she set her sights on Rip (Jonathon’s younger brother) I just knew they needed a story!! I was so happy to find out Kelly wrote their journey. It was everything I was hoping for and more.
This book was an emotional, angsty and heartwarming friends to lovers story. Chloe and Rip’s story had it’s ups and downs but I couldn’t help but root for their HEA. This book was like coming home….I loved that we got to be back with a favorite family of mine…The Parkers.
As I said Love At First Sight is the first book in Kelly’s Southern Bride Series and I think it is off to a great start. I can’t wait to find out what the other books in this series are about.
This is a standalone novel and is told in dual POV. You do NOT have to read the Angels & Cowboys series first before enjoying this story, but I would highly recommend reading that series to get the full effect of Chloe and Rip. You get the start of their backstory in that series. Now don’t get me wrong if you don’t or haven’t read that series first, Kelly does an excellent job filling in the gaps and the backstory of Chloe and Rip. Trust me though, you want to meet Chloe as a 5 year old….she was so funny and her love for Patches the goat carries into this story.
In this story we follow Chloe and Rip from childhood to adulthood. As I said before Chloe has been carrying a torch for Rip since she was 5 years old. Now that she is an adult she has decided to tell Rip of her true feelings, but when she is met with rejection…she decides that their friendship is too important and moves on, letting her true dream fall. So now at the end of her college career and planning to move back home and take over her family ranching business, she is surprised when her boyfriend pops the question. Even more surprising she says yes. What will happen when she goes home and confronts Rip?? Is she truly over her one true love?? Can Rip and Chloe ever get their HEA?? Read this book to find out.
As I said earlier, I loved being back with the Parker’s. This family is so close knit, it made me want to join their family. They will have you laughing, crying, but overall feeling the love they have for each other.
I would 100% recommend this series to everyone romance reader out there. This book brought me back to my Wanted Series days and the love I had for that group of characters. I thought Rip was just as swoony as Gunner, once he got out of his own head. Trust me you WANT to read this book!!! Definitely a favorite of mine for 2019!!!

5 love at first sight stars
Im going to be real with y'all. You know I am a huge Kelly Elliott fan as it is, but this book. My God did I fall in love with her writing all over again. This book is absolutely one of my favorites from her.Love At First Sight is book one in Elliott's new Southern Bride series and is the story of Chloe Parker and Rip Myers. It is a second chance, friends to lovers romance that is sure the get your heart racing. We first met Chloe and Rip in Lost Love, which is Chloe's parents story. At just 5 years old, little Chloe stole readers hearts and Cowboys and Angels series fans were beyond eager to get her story.What started out as a friendship, turned into being the best of friends, turned into to so much more than either Chloe or Rip expected. They were in love with each other and were both too afraid to speak up. Until Chloe wasn't. But Rip was afraid of losing his best friend and the girl he loved more than anything.While they both try to move on from Chloe's confession, they ultimately push themselves deeper into heartbreak central. Chloe is engaged to another man and Rip is making a new friend with whiskey. If these two could just step back for one minute and see what everyone else saw....This book is the ultimate angst fest. I will tell you some parts were frustrating and I just wanted to smack them and yell "get your sh*t together." There is happiness and sadness. Love and loss. Family and friends. Humor. This book is everything I've come to expect from an Elliott novel and so much more.Chloe and Rip are soulmates and Elliott does an excellent job portraying that. I'm being straight with you when I tell you that Rip Myers gives Gunner Matthews a run for his money. I'm telling you, talk about completely swooning. From the gorgeous cover to the beautiful words between, this book was Love At First Sight for me."I told you I'd wait forever for you, Chloe
