Reviews with content warning for Pregnancy - Heartless

I loved the character development of Cade, and I love Cade himself.
The writing was really good, I found this one better than the first book in the series.

I really enjoy Elsie Silver's Chestnut Springs series, especially since I'm a huge fan of cozy small-town romances. This series has even more spice than some of my other reads, which is definitely a plus.

While the writing might not be perfect, the chemistry between Cade and Willa was off the charts—I was immediately invested in their story. I absolutely loved their little family and the way Willa instantly bonded with Luke. Surprisingly, the scenes between Willa and Luke turned out to be some of my favorites, which I didn’t expect going into a romance novel.

It was clear early on that Willa wanted more children, and while I initially thought her pregnancy would be revealed in the epilogue, I didn’t expect it to become a conflict within the story. Given Cade’s past, I was worried about how this would play out, but thankfully, I thought it was handled pretty well.

The character of Thalia was a very one-dimensional villain, and I would have liked to see some more nuanced writing there. However, she didn’t appear often enough to detract too much from the story for me. I devoured this book quickly and enjoyed it even more than the first. I’m excited to continue reading the rest of the series.

It started fun, I liked the characters, grump/sunshine dynamics are one of my favourite in romances. And then it started getting downhill. Where to start: 1.Cade is cringy and sexist. 2. Willa is that cool girl, I don't wear panties. She keeps making also sexist comments about the ladies that she feels are "competetitors".

2 stars because I loved Luke, the child is adorable and the family dynamics

Loved the relationship between Cade and Willa. The dynamic between them is so relatable and makes you root for them to make it work the whole book.
