Heartless: A Chestnut Springs Special Edition Paperback – October 14, 2022

Ooooo okay I love Cade ugh where can I find a hot single grumpy dad with a cute boy like Luke awww I love the story the spicy and overall how Cade learned to love and trust from Willa and he was able to do things for him self and not just care for others because him being the big brother he was like the second parent. I love this book has to be my favorite so far.

Cade Eaton! The mouth on that man! I love Cade and Willa together; Luke is just the icing on the cake. Heck, I loved all the side characters, too. Harvey had me rolling with laughter.

I've read books with the single dad trope, but for some reason, this one did something entirely different to me.It was so wholesome, sweet, and infectious. A big part of that comes from Luke. He was just as cute and sweet as he could be. I was literally gushing over a fictional kid. Add in Willa and my heart absolutely melted. The moments between them were so heartfelt. I loved the way Willa treated and loved him. Even more, I loved that she fell for Luke before she fell for Cade.I knew from the first book that I loved both Willa and Cade independently. And I honestly thought with Willa's personality, she would end up with Beau (sorry Cade). But boy was I wrong. Opposites attract after all. They were perfect for each other and Willa was exactly what Cade needed. I could say the opposite is true as well, but I honestly think the that Cade needed Willa more.And y'all I seriously love Willa. She's funny and has a great sense of humor. She's relatable. She's definitely more of free spirit and go with the flow kind of gal, never really staying in one place too long, just going with the opportunities that are presented to her. She's incredibly loyal and actually kind of longs to have a family of her own.However, when that opportunity is present to her in the form of Luke and Cade, she kinda just won't jump at it. Despite Cade telling her he's sure of what he wants, that he want's her to stay, and he doesn't want her to go back to the city, she still can't tell him that she wants the same thing. AND SHE DOES. She gives him half truths that don't really reveal how she's feeling causing Cade to then be unsure about where her head is at so he does everything he can not to push her so he doesn't scare her.It's the miscommunication trope that drives me nuts. Let it be known that I hate this trope with a passion. Even more than I hate love triangles and that's saying something.And honestly, it wasn't even a large factor in this one compared to other books I've read. It was subtly there. It just felt like it was conflict for conflict's sake and wasn't necessary. Same thing with his occasional mindset about their age gap. I mean Cade's 38, acting like she's 18 sometimes, when she's 25. And he's acting like he's ancient at 38.Otherwise, I really did love it. It was funny. I didn't say this in my review for Flawless because I think I forgot, but I love the text messages at the start of every chapter. Those are hilarious and never fail to crack me up. And just like Flawless, I love the family vibe and banter. Not to mention those little moments between Willa, Cade, and Luke that have a hold on my heart. The Eaton boys are some of my favorite characters I've read in a long time.To put simply, it was heart - warming, hilarious, and steamy.Rating: 4.5

From Lala’s Book ReviewsHeartless follows the oldest Eaton sibling and Summer from Flawless best friend Willa.Cade and Willa met unexpectedly in the small town’s coffee shop in an unforgettable way when Willa is paying for her drink when something just so happens to fall out of her purse in front of Cade (which she lets him keep thinking he’s just a random stranger). Little does she know that Summer is planning of getting her the position of being Luke’s nanny over the summer to help out Cade.Willa has no child care experience but instantly clicks with Luke, and soon finds herself attached to Cade’s son while Cade himself is trying not to get attached to Willa knowing that this is only a summer gig for her then she’ll be back to her life in the city at the end of the summer.But like a bottle of soda being shaken up, Willa and Cade’s attraction hits is breaking point, and they give into their physical and emotional attraction that has been growing since day one.Despite trying to live in the moment, they have the timer counting down with each day as summer grows to an end plus there’s the plot twist that comes towards the end of the book that adds a potential strain to everything going on.In this book, we see Rhett and Summer after their book and catch up on what’s going on with them and the progression of their relationship *swoon*.But let me just say that even though I liked Rhett in Flawless, Cade is currently my favorite Eaton boy because who doesn’t like a man who is older and more *experienced* if you know what I mean.He’s been carrying a lot of weight on his shoulders being the oldest sibling, helping out his father from a young age, and taking care of the ranch all while raising a child by himself with the help of his family, but he’s afraid that he would be trapping

So glad to get my hands on an original Elsie Silver print!
