Rating: 5/5 stars

Willa is hired by Cade Eaton to be the nanny for his young son Luke—but what is meant to be a summer commitment quickly starts to look like more.

THIS BOOK. I loved FLAWLESS, but HEARTLESS was a level above for sure. I’ve realized recently that I am an absolute sucker for a single parent romance, and this had everything I love about the trope in spades—an adorable child, found family vibes, parents and step-parents who will do anything for their children. Cade Eaton is also, as expected, extremely sexy and made for a great grumpy leading man who is “only soft for her.”

All of that said, for me the true highlight of this one was Willa herself. She was the best FMC I’ve read in a long time—ballsy and funny and smart and absolutely nuts but in the best way possible. I loved her so so much and loved seeing her get the happy ending she deserved.

CW: Mentions of infidelity; mentions of death of parent; mentions of miscarriage; mentions of pregnancy

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.
