As soon as I finished Flawless, I went straight into Heartless because I was so excited to read Cade's book. And oh my goodness, "Daddy Cade" Eaton is the one.

Willa, Summer's best friend, really made me laugh during her text exchanges in Flawless so I was well prepared for the humour in Heartless.

This book follows Rhett's older brother Cade who owns a ranch in Chestnut Springs. He is a single dad since his ex-wife Talia left them both when son Luke was two-years-old. With his current babysitter getting older, he is hiring a nanny. But Cade is the grumpiest man alive and hates everyone that the family interview. Summer has the best solution - her friend Willa.

Willa is hilarious right from the start and this is definitely for the age gap (Willa is 25) and grumpy x sunshine fans. It also has a trope that I hate (that I will not share because of spoilers) but I still gave this book five stars.

Willa's feelings towards Cade and his son Luke were handled beautifully, with Willa being the type of person Cade needed. Someone to help put himself first for once. Oh and the spice is top notch.
