Once again, Willow Winters throws me through a tunnel of emotions and plot twists I didn't see coming.

I'm still reeling from everything that transpired throughout this book. One thing I can say is that this author never disappoints... And as much as I want to curse her out right now, I also want to bow down to her. She is a genius and a master at her craft and she has mastered this world and continues to blow me away with each book that releases.

I was a mess... Especially that ending. It cut like a damn knife and now,... Now we wait... But I know one thing for sure! She will make the wait worth it.



I'm going in for round two, but I knew the moment I closed the book on the first round that I wouldn't be able to keep away... and well to be fair. It was a given I was going in for a second hit when it comes to anything Willow Winters.



AND Willow, Why? WHAT THE HELL, WILLOW!?.... You know what you did... You broke my heart!




Gahh...I honestly don't know where to begin with this. I want to scream but cry, and curl up into a sobbing ball... I was not prepared for what I got. In no way was I. I knew this was going to knee me in the gut but Jesus Christ... the emotions that surround this entire book were pulling hard on my heartstrings.



Tempted to Kiss picks up where Desperate to Touch left off and Seth and Laura are trying to work out where they are going in this relationship, and it seeming to be harder than expected. Nothing about the world they both live in is easy and this relationship isn't about to be either. Seth has started to open up on how he feels about Laura and admit and realizing what his feelings for this girl are and what they mean. Laura is keeping secrets, which could ultimately mean game over for them... Seth is doing what he can to keep Laura, and to keep her from leaving him...


AND THAT ENDING... Yeah, I'm back to that... Ms. Winters, are you trying to kill me?
My heart... My heart is hurting and I don't know how I am meant to be feeling right now...
I did not expect that ending... And I feel like I have been throat and gut-punched so damn hard and this is days after reading it.



I want to dive deeper but I also believe you need to go through each and every emotion when you read this. This is a continuation from Desperate to Touch and you do have to read this series from the start.

You all think you are ready for this..... YOU ARE NOT!!!



I can't recommend this enough.

Willow Winters has a way with her words that completely pull me in from the start and keep me locked in till long after I've finished the book. Her words are those that stay with you. Whether it is a sentence or an entire scene. It's hard to forget this author's words and Tempted to Kiss is no different. It was addictive, all-consuming, enticing, intense and unpredictable and I just don't think 5 stars is enough!

Quick note - This is book 3 in the Hard to Love series. It won't make sense without having read the first 2 books!

Being the third part of the series, we finally get past that annoying little cliffhanger we were left with in the previous books. And Willow did not disappoint. We go straight into the drama. And oh what a story it makes. You will be left feeling everything Laura is going through, and the desperation Seth has to keep Laura.

Seth and Laura really are a beloved couple of mine in this series, they're always being pulled from all sides and always in the direction that keeps them away from each other and I just want them to have a happy end, but in true Willow fashion, there was yet another cliffhanger that leaves me wanting the next book yesterday so I can see how their story ends.

Of course other than everything Laura and Seth are facing in their relationship, we also continue the journey into our connecting story. Marcus and his mystery. With every book in this world, I get more and more curious about this enigmatic man and I can't wait to finally meet the man behind the mystery!

This is the third book in the hard to love series, and it picks up right where the last book left off. Seth and Laura have so much going on, and this story had me turning the pages so quickly just to find out what was happening next. I was on the edge of my seat, between all the emotions and secrets, through the whole book. Willow has a way of pulling you right into the book and letting you absorb the world you’re reading about, which I love!!!

This series is brilliant, W. Winters has done an amazing job with these books, but Seth and Laura’s story is phenomenal. All the twist and turns this story where great. All the steamy and emotional rollercoaster took a higher level on this book and so it ended in a bang, now I need the next book now! You want epic, you need to start reading the whole series now!

SERIOUSLY!!! you guys are not ready for this!!
once again willow has knocked me off kilter!
didn't know what to expect with this once, because i know it was going to blow me away and it did!
i was definitely not disappointed with this book one bit!

this is book 3 in the hard to love series and it follows Seth and Laura's story and if you've read the first two books then you know that their story will rip your heart to shreds. their story is one that is filled with lies, suspense and heartbreak as well as angsty.

let's not forget about the twists and turns that willow throws at you, that makes you question everything! this is definitely and emotional roller coaster and i absolutely cannot wait for 'Easy to fall' book 4 in the hard to love series to get here! my emotions are literally all over the place with this book! matter of fact the whole hard to love series had me an emotional wreck!!

this book definitely deserves 5 stars! and i can't recommend this series enough!

Willow freaking Winters!! Do you enjoy putting me through the wringer? Ughh!

A mess, this book made me a complete and total mess. The emotional turmoil I went through while reading this book is abundant. I truly don’t know how I survived while reading. Just when I would start a new chapter or scene and thought to myself “Okay, okay. This is going to be the worst of it.” But by the end of the next chapter or scene I am even more surprised at what we are learning.

I absolutely question my ability to read when I’m reading something by Willow Winters. No matter how many times I read a book by her I’m surprised every time how fast I can zip through them. Did I suspect some things? Yes. But did I actually think some of my predictions were going to come true?? HELL NO. But here we are and here I am sitting dumbfounded in my bed trying my best to put my thoughts down while still in shock. Overall, I can’t. I just can’t see where the plot is going. I can’t predict it and I love it. I have NO clue what is going to happen in the final book. I don’t know what to think, what to believe, who to trust. WHAT is going on?? And that ending
