Heartless: A Small Town Single Dad Romance Kindle Edition
Cade Eaton is thirteen years older than I am and barely looks my way. Until I get him into the hot tub one night for a game of truth or dare. Then all bets are off—and so are our clothes.
He’s 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 am I to resist?
But it’s in our quiet moments together that he softens. It’s when he takes care of me that I realize his hardened exterior is just a façade. It’s when I watch him go all sweet with his little boy that I really fall for him.
Someone convinced him once that his best wasn’t good enough. But I’ve never felt more cherished than I do in his arms.
My contract may say this arrangement is only for two months.
But my heart says this is forever.

It’s during this time that she can sip a cup of hot coffee and dream up a fictional world full of romantic stories to share with her readers.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2022There are several reasons why I adore Elsie Silver. Her books are Swoon Heaven! They make you fall in love with love and smile for hours. She never stops surprising me, never stops delivering more than I expect and I never stop craving for more
I say this every time and I swear I always mean it: This is my favorite book of Elsie LOL. I know. But seriously, her books keep getting better and better but I think this really might be my favorite, let me tell you why: For starters, I think this is her funniest book. The chemistry between Willa, Cade and the rest of the cast was just so natural with the most H I L A R I O U S banter ever. I think I spent at least 75% of the time laughing. Second, the family love in this book was stronger than ever. Not only we get to see the Eatons back in action, but we also witness a new sweet little family forming between Cade, Willa and little Luke. That alone made me swoon from start to finish. The grumpy/sunshine dynamic was on freaking point! It was literally sunshine melting the grump's heart in every page and if you are a fan of this trope... you can't miss
I need to start talking about Willa. Because she is now in my top 5 favorite heroines in Romance. The ovaries of this woman deserve a standing ovation. She was Sunshine in human form but not easily scared of the grumpiest grump ever. She was fun, daring, the funniest smartass mouth ever and not easily embarrassed. Her attitude was one of my favorite parts of the book. Willa and Luke? OMG my heart melted a little more every time they were together. She was the perfect counterbalance for Cade's wounded soul.
"Willa Grant is a s disturber, waltzing into my life and complicating it without even trying. Looking all pleased with herself over it."
I wanted to transport myself inside the book and hug Cade. He was just a huge teddy bear disguised as a bearded, grumpy cowboy. I could see his walls melting in every page. Although I loved both POVs, his was my favorite. I always love how Elsie writes the Grump's perspective in every story but she exceeded all my expectations with Cade's. I bit my lip many times and sighed dreamily reading how in awe he was of her. Hiding feelings and reactions when he saw her with Luke. I loved his caring heart and how he quickly became protective of her.
"At his core, Cade is a caretaker. Selfless. With such a big heart I almost can't wrap my head around it."
I swear, these two were the swooniest couple ever. They were sweet, funny and the tension was to die for! It was a ticking bomb ready to explode... and it did. Deliciously. Hot. Chef's freaking kiss. We all know how Elsie writes the sweetest guys that are dirty talking alphas in the bedroom? Well, you'll get one of those, plus a dirty talking heroine who's not afraid of saying what she wants.*fans herself* All that sexy chemistry plus vulnerability, acceptance, the need for the other one to just be close and the simple wish to make each other happy in any way... My heart couldn't take it anymore. It was perfection. And let's just say that happy ending was everything I was hoping it would be, just the cherry on the top of a delicious cake!
"How hard would it be to smile more, to laugh more, if it made her look this happy?"
Need to also mention how happy it made me to see the rest of the Eatons meddling, joking and showing up for each other. I am so in love with this family, I want to know everything about them, I want all of their happy ever afters and I want to see them growing and growing!
So, I'm just going to go curl up in bed and nurse the hangover I have after reading such a beautiful book.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2024This book was such a sweet, heart touching story. I love the grumpy/sunshine trope so I'm biased; but it really is well written and with some fantastic dialogue. The MCs, and even the side characters, have depth. Going thru their personal and relationship growth was a journey worth taking.
Wila is a witty, fiercely loyal woman who is such a mama bear. Ever want to dish out to a child that was mean to your child- Wila understands that feeling. Cade is like an M&M- hard on the outside, but oh so sweet and gooey on the inside when he warms up.
The book has intimacy and spice. 2.5 out of 5 spice- it's vanilla sprinkled with some dirty talk, but like the rest of the book- well written.
If you enjoy romance/cowboy romance then this book is worth your time. I recommend the purchase/download, you won't regret it.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2024Ok I liked Flawless. It was good, but I was also not in a hurry to read book 2 either. However, a friend talked me into it and I am so freaking glad I did. Y’all, I LOVED this story. Grumpy daddy Cade and sweet wildfire Willa were freaking great. The chemistry was so dang good between these two and the banter was absolutely hilarious! Throw sweet baby Luke in the mix and I’m actually in love.
Something I notice a lot with books with the “single dad” trope, is that the kid tends to just be a plot device. Just a side character with minimal interaction with main characters. THIS BOOK however, Luke is an actual character, and literally the sweetest one there is! I need like a legacies version of this series and I just want to read all about Luke.
This book just made me feel so happy. I laughed, kicked my feet, and even experienced a few quite toe curling moments. You just can’t read this book and not feel happy. The found family is so perfect, like so so perfect. And you just really feel for these characters. This is definitely high up there on my favorite love stories.
With all that said, I cannot wait to read more from this series and about this family. This is not a series that is over hyped. It is GOOD. And y’all should go read it ✌🏻

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2024I enjoyed this book so much more than the first one!
Willa is a breath of fresh air that kept everyone laughing, me included. I feel so satisfied after finishing the book, it's going into my rare reread pile. Willa & Cade for the win! So I suggest starting the Chestnut Springs series with this book, as each book stands alone with a HEA for the couple.
All ratings were 5/5
Stars, plot, FMC, MMC, romance, writing, spice.
It's a small-town, age-gap, romance involving a grumpy single dad rancher, and a hilarious city girl nanny. Plus the most adorable little boy named Luke, who is equal parts sweet and mischievous- and he soaks up the attention Willa gives him.
The responsible & stoic cowboy has a whole other side to him that he's been hiding, not that you can blame him after the crap hand he's been dealt. But Willa is fantastic at bringing out Cade's wild side, by any means necessary lol. Open door spice, a filthy mouth, & chemistry/tension that made everything even hotter.
I highlighted so many hilarious quotes in this book, I don't wanna spoil anyone by sharing but trust me it's a barrel of laughs.
If you're looking for a feel-good romance, with a grumpy and dependable single dad, & a carefree nanny who brings them all back to life- then you need this book in your life!
Also the narration was amazing, incredibly engaging. Dual alternating POV (male narrator does Cade chapters, & female narrator does Willa chapters).
I listened to the audio while following along in the ebook. It's my fav way to take in an awesome book, otherwise my mind misses things.
Onto the next book!
Read what makes you happy fellow book lovers, and then tell me about it 😆
