Elle and Hudson renew my faith in a beautiful future! 

Elle is an earthy, untamed, wild spirit taking classes at Bonnin University when she suddenly finds out about a father she never got to know, and all these requirements to keep his estate.   Is she the grasping, greedy selfish child being portrayed by her cousin and the media, the dream come true Hudson has found, or the little girl Mina seems to want to keep only to the path she's led her on all these years?

In addition, Elle has her own secrets she needs to hold back from everyone to keep her safe ~ or was that just one more way for Mina to maintain control?

I loved everything about Elle, her peace, her subdued nature - even with a Mother who must be very frustrating at times, the beauty that seems at one with the nature around her. The secret she seems so desperate to hold seperate from people. 

Hudson is fantastical!! How many young men do you know that have already mapped out their entire future, go to work on time, keep regular communications with his family, etc? 

It's almost as if Hudson's personal tragedy have taken away any desire most young men have to rebel and push back against all the structures in place. None of these are inherently bad, I just wonder how much Hudson would have kept to his tiny one lane road if he hadn't met Elle?

There seems to be so much danger swirling around them, both with Elle's new Cousin and with Mina and Danon, an overwhelming capacity for this beautiful fairytale to go up in smoke before it even really gets started.

Alllll the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s for this gorgeous story, I am absolutely in love with LJ Evans Charming and The Cherry Blossom!
