I really loved reading this book. It was such an easy read for me – I just wanted to sit there and devour it all in one go. Willa was such a feisty and fun main character, I loved how she handled Cade, and their chemistry was so delicious. Cade was so grumpy and I actually liked that he was, initially, a bit mean – because it gave Willa so many chances to put him in his place.

The sexual tension between them was just so good and the love scenes were very hot and well-written. There are parts of this book that made me blush, to be quite honest! But there’s also some really lovely moments between them, especially as their relationship develops.

I also want to say I really loved the relationship between Willa and Luke – it was so cute and adorable. I loved that her way of dealing with kids wasn’t typical – she was messy with Luke and she treated him like an equal – it both came naturally to her and didn’t come naturally to her, it was such a good change of pace.

Overall this was just such a good book – a fun, easy read, very entertaining, sweet and steamy – I just loved it.

I loved Cade and Willa's storyline. Definitely my favourite book from the series so far !!

Really enjoyed this book, but one thing that bothers me still after finishing is how Willa is super fiery (pushed a kid in a pool) but doesn’t really stand up to Talia much? That scene felt flat compared to her character the rest of the entire book.

Otherwise, I really loved Cade and Willa, and I feel like they balance each other’s personalities really well and the end was so sweet!

Willa and Cade’s relationship felt so much more genuine than Rhett and Summer. 
I loved getting to know some of the family relationships better in this one. Luke also carried with the humor ❤️❤️

There were many times where I had to put the book down, not because it was terrible or the characters did something bad but because if I would get overwhelmed by how into it I was. I knew from the beginning that I would be hooked on this book and can honestly say that this one deserves the hype that it gets. I normally avoid nanny and single dad books just because they can get so unnecessarily messy but in heartless there was very minimal messiness. 
Cade, this older man who had to grow up way too early and so had so much pressure and responsibility on his shoulders meets Willa that is full of nothing but fun and attitude. The two matched so well together because of their opposite personalities. Even though they are so different, there was never a moment where it clashed and affected their friendship/relationship. They were truely so nice and cute together and I was so happy that they ended up getting their happy ending together.

I was really excited to read Cade story, my expectations were so high and Elsie Silver did not disappoint. Although I’m not really a fan of unplanned pregnancy this still is a 5 stars for me cause I loved it too much.

I guess I’m heartless now, cause grumpy, scowling, freaking hot Cade Eaton is the one who stole it.
