OMG!!! I LOVE this book. This is my favorite out of the whole series. Every single aspect is just *chef's kiss*. DADDY CADEEEEE! I love this man! I really thought no one would pass Rhett Eaton but hot damn, Cade had to come and just take Rhett's spot. I was so surprised with this man if I am being honest. The words that this man spoke, I am obsessed. As the story goes on the more I like him, the fact that he is able to talk about his past and his insecurities just made it way better. The love that he has for Luke is just incomparable to anything else, this man would do anything and everything for his boy and I find that so special. Luke's character was just so special, he was literally the cherry on top of the book, the book was so good and he made it so much better. Willa..... WILLA! I freaking love this woman! She is a FIRECRAKER! And I couldn't love her more. She is just so special and her personality brings so much to the book. She cares so deeply for those she loves and it shows. Her relationship with Luke is just absolutely beautiful and it made my heart melt every single time. NOW! Cade and Willa's relationship is just *cheff's kiss* *swoon* I just don't have words. They are perfect for each other. WIlla brings so much light and Cade is the calm of the Hurricane. I just couldn't get enough of this couple. The banter! The SPICE! They just love each other so much and all they want is for each other and Luke to be happy. They are just polar opposites and they complement each other. Love love love. I don't know what else I can say.

Memorable Quotes

“And I realize in that moment maybe I am heartless after all, because the beautiful girl with the copper hair grinning back at me right now is the one who stole it.”
“Life lesson, shithead. Careful who you pick a fight with. Someone insane might love him.”
“I don’t care. Don’t you get it? I’m in love with you, Willa. Prickly legs, random carrots in your purse
, pregnant, not pregnant.
I want you.”
“Keep talking like that and I’m going to fuck the filth right out of your pretty mouth.”
“Cade is the embodiment of actions speaking louder than words. "
“Do you think . . .” He peers back up at me now. “Do you think it would be okay if I called you mom too?”
“Thank you. Thank you for being the first person in my life to put me first, to give me options. I’m not sure I deserve that gift, but I know that I’ll never forget it for as long as I live.”
“Every part of me wants to go after her, but sometimes loving someone means giving them the space they want. The space they need. For a little while, at least.”

Contains accidental pregnancy trope, I'm not really gaga for this trope but it fit this story/didn't force them together, the characters had already made their minds up about being together before it happened, plus the jokes about it were great 😆

The lettuce scene had laugh like nobody’s business. That’s all you need to know 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pretty damn cute. Hard not to love when a secret-softie grump lets someone in. The interactions with Luke were adorable (though he does not seem 5 at all to me?). Some bits were pretty cringe/unrealistic, but overall it was a solidly sweet read.

Closed Door Mod: Chapter 14 (some parts), Chapter 21 (some parts), Chapters 22-23, Chapter 26, Chapter 28

Continuing on my cowboy romance era after absolutely loving Done and Dusted by Lyla Sage, I decided to give Elsie Silver’s Chestnut Spings series for a try. Heartless, the second book in the series, follows Cade as he reluctantly hires Willa to be his son’s nanny for the summer.

Personally, I liked Heartless. Though I wasn’t as obsessed with it as I was when I reading Done and Dusted, I had a really nice time reading the book. I thought the plot was really engaging, and I give Silver bonus points for this book not being one of those books where you had to read the other books in the series before getting to this one. It honestly was a breeze to get through, so some readers could (in theory) finish this book in a day or two. However, what I liked most about Heartless was the relationship between Willa and Cade. You can tell that Silver put a lot of time investing in these characters backstories as well as setting up a slow burn to have you root for them to get together in the end. Additionally, I felt that Willa and Cade get their own moments to shine through their own character development, both because of their relationship as well as their own growth as a person.

If you’re looking for a slow-burn, grumpy x sunshine featuring a cowboy single dad, you might enjoy Heartless.
