OMG, is all I have to say. I love this one as much as Seth and Laura story. I really don't want to put it down once I started it. I don't want to give anything away but if you love Seth and Laura story check this one out once it is released.

Tempted to kiss
As I come to the end of book three I am wondering how Seth and Laura can possible stay together. They have a million things against them. They both lie to each other constantly but claim to love the other more than anything.

Willow is always hurting my soul with her cliffhangers. I never feel more of a need to rush to the next book than I do with her series'. Seth still gets under my skin but I do like the story enough to continue reading to learn what happens.

WHAT?!?!?!
Every time I think things are settling down, Winters is there to slap me silly, and let me know that is not the case.
Bomb after bomb is dropped here, and I am absolutely reeling.
Still adore Seth, still so concerned for Laura and the decisions she faces.
Overall, I am beyond ready for the next book, because that ending was something else!

Picks up where Desperate to Touch left off. Laura is sitting in jail. Does she belong there or did she do it for Seth? Seth and Laura’s tumultuous relationship is back in this third installment. Hold on for the ride I believed Desperate to Touch was a ride. But these one takes you on an even better one. This series just keeps getting better and better. You are driving more into the relationship that is Seth and Laura and the things that these two will do for love. Holy cow what a ride indeed. Page turning must read moments. The ending of this one I wanted to throw the book. I could not believe that it ended this way. I was shocked, jaw dropped. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. I love the chemistry between Seth and Laura. You can easily see and feel that these two love each other and belong together no matter what is put in their way. But Laura is hiding some secrets from Seth that may destroy them both? Will their love be enough to get them through all of what is going on?

OMG No. Willow Winters amazes me everytime I read a book of hers. Starting this story I expected answers but I got so many more questions. How? When? Who? Why?
And No! I can‘t wait for the finale of this series because it won‘t be enough! I already know that!
As with the previous books I still love Seth and Laura alot. But I‘m kinda disappointed in Laura for witholding so much from Seth. But I understand that it wouldn‘t be so thrilling if they told eachother everything.
I haven‘t read Jase‘s Story yet and I know that Marcus is in there so I‘m still very curious on who Marcus is and why he‘s so hell bent in destroying Seth?
Willow! I need answers not more questions!

Synopsis:
Seth and Laura are back in this third instalment of their story. Since this is book three, the first two books have to be read first. Seth and Laura are in deeper trouble than before. But, there's some good news too. Though it depends good for whom, and will they be able to resolve everything and get their happy ever after?
Review:
The story starts with a prologue from Seth's pov, eight years ago. He's wary of what he hides from Laura but still can't help his love and lust for her. Then it's back to the present from Laura's pov, continuing from Book Two where Seth revealed to her about her father's murderer. While Laura is in the police station after the events that occurred at the end of the second book, Seth is in a different kind of hell.
As much as I dislike the past intervening in the present of the story, because it makes me wait for what happens next, I can't help but love the way Winters introduces the past. While experiencing an emotion, be it hurt, anger, fear, or love, Seth or Laura just slip into their past and relive a beautiful memory.
Laura and Seth are both in danger, the former due to her arrhythmia which develops into a condition more serious than before and the latter for not getting medical help hours after being shot. The first few chapters of the book are so tense. And there are professional killers after them too.
This book is dark. It is chilling, what you have to do to survive in their world. I never thought I'd love reading a mafioso romance. There's violence for sure, but Winters does it in such a subtle way that you don't realise it sometimes, the kind of story you're reading. While Seth and Laura's relationship grows, solidifies, the uncertainty is still there. And this book, the way it ended on a cliffhanger, has me excited for the next on two levels. One, it will be finally revealed - I hope - what exactly is Marcus' deal. The same Marcus who's there since the beginning of the Cross Brother's universe. Two, that I am not going to say because it will be a spoiler then.
Thank you to the author for an e-ARC of the book.

Tempted to Kiss, the thrilling third instalment in the Hard to Love series by USA Today Bestselling Author Willow Winters is now LIVE!!!!
I fell for someone I shouldn’t have.
I’m not the only person to ever do such a thing. I know that. And I’m not an awful person for desiring his touch, his kiss, his everything… but I knew I shouldn’t have indulged.
There’s something about knowing it’s wrong that tempts me that much more. The seduction became a game with higher stakes than any before him. In fact, it was only ever him.
The thing is, I knew I shouldn’t. Now that the game is over and the pieces have fallen… I know I should have just walked away.
There’s no way out of the wreckage.
That doesn’t change the fact, that I wanted him more than anything. I still want him more than anything.
