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.

Elsie Silver will forever be the reason for my love of small towns and cowboy romances. Since I first read this back in July of last year, I have reread it three times and each time I do, I fall more in love with Willa and Cade. Willa is a firecracker and I love how she speaks her mind and is so unfiltered. Then you have Cade, the grumpy single dad that is closed off and sometimes doesn’t even know how to communicate with those around him. However, this man right here is undeniably the most thoughtful and caring person. Their relationship had me kicking my feet, laughing, and smiling so damn much from the very first time they met to the last page. And their banter? It was fun. It was witty. It was everything I love and more. Also the spice in this book? When the slow burn turns into full burn, good lord 🥵🫠 Some of my favorite all time spice moments are from this book and with good reason.

If you are looking for a cowboy romance, please do yourself a favor and read Heartless, then proceed to read the rest of the Chestnut Springs series.

Quotes💕:

“Are you insane? You think I went three years without laying my hand on a single person to break my streak with one as exceptional as you and then let you just walk away?”

“I knew you had big dick energy, but this is something else.”

“How do I look?” I quirk a brow and arch my back. “Like you’re mine,” he growls.

Yeehaw MF. This series just keeps getting better. Grumpy cowboy single dad and fiery confident nanny. Summer and Rhett from Flawless are great supporting characters and I loved getting a peak into their relationship again. Willa, Summer’s best friend and Cade, the eldest Eaton boy have a a tension filled and sexy summer at Wishing Well Ranch while Willa takes care of Luke, Cade’s son. There are so many soft and funny moments between Willa and Luke. I loved this and cackled multiple times. Cant wait for Jasper’s story.

“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.”

“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.”

“Beg.”
“Pardon me?”
“You heard me.”
Her lips don’t even twitch. She’s not joking at all. “Beg.”

I wanted to read this book because Elsie Silver is adored all over the book community, I love finding new authors and I enjoyed Flawless. I love romance and cowboys. I wanted to know more about Willa and Cade from the sneak peek we got from the first book. This story was heartbreaking, hot and adorable.

This book has two points of view. The first is Cade Eaton, he is the oldest brother in the Eaton household, he is the responsible one and the one who makes sure the ranch is still running as well as looking after his family. Cade doesn’t have any hobbies anymore and is only wanting the best for Luke his son, as he is a single father. But he has needed more help with Luke as his father cannot keep up with Luke and the nanny that raised Cade and his brothers also can’t keep up with Luke. The second point of view is Willa Grant, she is wanting a change this summer. Her brother has shut the bar to do a renovation and her horse is injured so she can’t do her horse-riding competition. So, when her best friend invites her to her house on the ranch for a few months to work with her brother-in-law for two months on a babysitting gig, she accepts thinking it will be an easy ride. But her employer is the grumpiest single dad she’s ever met, but Willa can’t keep her eyes off him. And he can’t keep his hands off her. Cade might be thirteen years older than her, but when there is a hot tub and a game of truth or dare, then all bets are off the table. Someone convinced Cade that he was not good enough for love, Willa wants to convince him otherwise.

This series is so addictive, I didn’t think that cowboy romances could be this addictive, but I wanted to just devour this book. This book was so trauma-based but also fun and flirty. I loved the romance between Cade and Willa and how Cade didn’t want to cross the line, but Willa was literally not wearing underwear just to wind him up. I love the Eaton family, if they would like to adopt me that would be perfect because I loved the family dynamic and how they were all doing innuendos just to wind Cade up and how they all knew that something had happened between Cade and Willa and was just having a blast to take the piss. I love Kip and how much of a shit-stirrer he was, but he was also truth-talking the second things got difficult. I loved that Willa was so damn petty and her protecting Luke like her own including pushing some kid into a pool for being a brat to Luke (that is going to be me with my nephew).

I still don’t like Winter, she sorts of grew on me in this book, but her appearance and the ending, just drove me nuts a bit. I just didn’t see the point of the third-act conflict like surely you knew what was going to happen.

I love that Elsie has practically introduced all the characters that are going to be in the series, and it was a solid second book and I cannot wait to carry on this series.
