Book description

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…

Why read it?

There’s something so inexplicably enticing about forbidden romance. Even these days, when a man knows they can’t have a certain woman for all sorts of reasons, the moment where that man breaks, the moment where he loses control, that’s exactly the kind of magic I want in an all-consuming romance novel.

If you’re looking for that added spice of a hilarious, sexy nanny and older, grumpy cowboy, you’ll find that, as well as unforgettable forbidden romance elements in this spicy cowboy romcom.

If you’re going to read only one Elsie Silver book, make it this one.

Even though this is technically book two in the Chestnut Springs series, I fell for the description and read it before going back and finishing the entire series. I’m an absolute sucker for the grumpy sunshine and an even bigger sucker for the single dad/nanny trope, so what could possibly make it better? Make him a cowboy. 

Willa and Cade are a couple that I absolutely adored reading about. The tension was superb, the plot was interesting, and the spice? Well, the spice was top-tier, in my personal opinion! This book and overall series was a no-brainer for my Top…
