Heartless (Chestnut Springs, 2)

Working as a nanny for the world's grumpiest single dad should be simple...except she can't keep her eyes off him. And he can't keep his hands off her.
Cade Eaton is thirteen years older than Willa Grant, and he barely looks her way, even though she's living in his house for the summer. That is, until she gets him into the hot tub one night for a game of truth or dare. Then, all bets are off--and so are their clothes.
Cade is gruff, a little rough around the edges, but broad-shouldered ranchers with calloused hands and filthy mouths are this city girl's kryptonite. So who is she to resist?
But it's in their quietest moments together that he softens. It's in the unexpected way he takes care of Willa that she realizes his hardened exterior is just a façade. And it's when she watches him go all sweet with his little boy that she starts to fall for him, whatever the consequences.
Someone once convinced Cade that his best wasn't good enough. But Willa has never felt more cherished than she does in his arms.
Her contract says this arrangement is only for two months.
But her heart says this is forever.

Heartless by Elsie Silver is book 2 in the Chestnut Springs series. It features Cade Eaton, single dad, and Willa Grant’s love story. Cade is all moody and grumpy while Willa is feisty and adventurous. Willa ends up being Cade’s son’s nanny for the summer and their love story blossoms. You can feel the angst and desire as the story unfolds. The book did a good job of incorporating the other characters too. I’m really excited to read book 3 and see those relationships develop further.
Heartless was for sure a vibe and I ate it all the way up! Absolutely a 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read with spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️ sprinkled throughout. I am loving Chestnut Springs.
Melissa- LOVED, more than the first
Heartless — swoony, tender, and spicy in all the right ways.
Cade and Willa??? Obsessed.
The chemistry and banter were off the charts. They had the perfect grumpy-sunshine dynamic, and I devoured every second of it. Cade is the ultimate grumpy single dad — quiet, guarded, and rough around the edges while Willa is warm, bright, compassionate, and completely unafraid of him. Watching her slowly break down his walls had me melting. I loved that she didn’t try to change him, she simply saw him.
The age gap and nanny tension added just the right amount of forbidden energy, but it was the softer moments that really got me. Seeing Cade with his son? My heart couldn’t handle it.
Spicy, sweet, and surprisingly emotional — another five-star cowboy romance for me. 🤠💕

2 words; DADDY CADE! What a story! The nanny, the single dad, this was just the best! Loved Flawless but Heartless truly made me fall even more in love with this series. Cade has been through a lot and the Grumpy Sunshine trope was PERFECTION. Willa's whit, spunk and smart mouth truly makes this entire story. Their text exchanges and notes truly made me CACKLE out loud. Beautifully written.
This was super enjoyable right from the start, and let me tell ya, Daddy Cade can Get. It. Holy hot cowboy!
I loved his dynamic with Willa. They were well matched, had great banter, and their chemistry was off-the-charts smoking hot.
It can be hard to write kids in a romance, but Luke was adorable and acted age appropriate. Lemme tell you, the epilogue made me cry y’all, it was so touching.
I can see myself coming back to read this one again.
