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.

Willa and Cade’s story had me kicking my feet like a school girl. Having Willa’s care free personality balance out Cade’s grumpy and rigid personality was such a fun dynamic to explore. Especially when they start to get to know one another and become vulnerable regarding how they grew up and the struggles they have been through. They balance each other and provide the comfort and reassurance each need. Also, watching Willa with Luke had me in my feels it was so precious.

I have SO MANY WORDS about this book. Most of them go like this EEEEKKKKKKKKK. 😂 Devoured it in 48 hours around a very busy work week. 

Wow.  I thought I loved Rhett and Flawless, but THIS book absolutely and utterly has my WHOLE HEART.  Daddy Cade could do whateverrrrr he wanted to me. 

The spice is top level, the wit throughout the whole book is hilarious and the vulnerability of both Cade and Willa and the way they help each other through it is just divine.  Luke is utterly adorable and his openness to Willa is so tender.  Harvey, as per usual, has perfect comic timing. 

I'm glad there was only one appearance of Talia.....😡

And finally........ HOW MANY BACKWARDS CAP MENTIONS WERE THERE?  I needed to be picked up off the FLOOR there were so many!

Cannot wait to get to the rest of this series.

wanted to love this for the single dad & age gap tropes but Cade just gave me the ick. especially his pov of Willa. like whoooo is about to nut in their pants just from seeing someone in a coffee shop? i’m sorry? i was cringing the whole time. i should’ve DNF’d but i am -motivated- to finish this series. the one redeeming factor was Willa and (the son) Luke’s relationship

This book just felt like a lot of lost potential to me. Honestly, the worst part was that Willa being a horseback rider was SO underutilized in this book. Like, what do you mean she HAS A HORSE and she never asks if she can bring him to the ranch. NEVER. Entirely unrealistic. I don't like authors throwing in that the FMC of a cowboy romance can ride and then only use it for half a scene.

The pregnancy ruined this book for me. Willa was not characterized like someone who would be okay with being the barefoot mom and she changed VERY suddenly. It didn't feel right at all.
