My summary:

Cade Eaton has been busy taking care of everyone else throughout his entire life. After his mom died when he was only 8, he stepped up to help his dad and younger brothers and sister. Then, when his dad retired, he took over running their ranch. And he’s raised his five year old son, Luke, entirely on his own ever since his piece of shit ex left them both behind. Trying to find a nanny for the summer is next to impossible—especially in a small town where he’s the most eligible bachelor, much to the chagrin of the broody and grumpy Cade. When Cade’s brother’s fiancée suggests her best friend, Willa Grant, Cade immediately refuses. But once the hurricane that is Willa rolls into town, it doesn’t take long at all for Luke to be enraptured by the fun and fiery Willa, and soon Cade is firmly under her spell too.

My thoughts:

I’m not sure there are very many romance books I have loved as thoroughly as I love Heartless by Elsie Silver. From the first page to the last, I could not put this down and read it in about a day (a workday, no less—who needs sleep with books this good around?!).

I read Wild Love before I started the Chestnut Springs series so I already had a glimpse of what’s going to happen and I. Couldn’t. Wait. And it did not disappoint in any way.

The single dad trope has never been my favorite but, wow, it is now! Throw in the hot and grumpy cowboy with the fiery and unpredictable nanny and the most adorable kid on the planet and then I am a goner. Add in the small town and ranch setting and then it can’t get any more perfect.

This book is absolutely fucking hilarious. And hot. I cannot love Elsie Silver’s writing style more if I tried. If I were to ever write a book (which is highly improbable) I hope it would turn out half as good as this. I cannot wait to finish the Chestnut Springs series but I also don’t ever want it to end either. Luckily I have three more books to go.

This book was considerably worse than the first but it had some good parts. I liked Willa and Luke’s relationship, I liked cade and Willa’s pet names and overall relationship.

I didn’t like how the book was pretty much exactly like the first book in terms of events (bar the last part)
It had no plot really but it was the same book in terms of the working/forbidden love dynamic, the rodeo drama with jealousy and the bar antics. The same. But the end was different which was good. I wish she called him daddy tho lol

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.
