Holy shit. When things finally got interesting, I was suddenly hit with a plot twist and a cliffhanger.

ngl with this girls luck i honestly didn’t know if she’d make it to the end, miscarry, get shot or hell kidnapped.
the VENDETTA this author has against Laura is so sick it’s grotesquely funny. i mean she really is in hell! every book i think it can’t get any worse and alas i’m proven wrong. i will say this is a pretty addictive series and i love getting back in from school and zooming through a novel.

Oh...my...word... what can I say...that was unbelievable. Willow Winters has once again written an emotional roller coaster of a read my heart is still in pieces. This was the third book in the series Hard to Love and it is a must read.

I am current on the series and I have enjoyed all stories written by Willow Winters. The story of Seth and Laura has touched my heart in a special way. I love how her characters always go on a roller coaster ride of emotions. The story comes alive and in the moment while reading feels so nice to escape into the Cross Brother world. Looking forward to book 4 in a few month's.

I just started to read Willow Winters about a year ago now and I’ll tell you, with every book I fall deeper in love! The stories that she crafts are works of art!

Tempted to Kiss is full of plot twists I never saw coming and emotions that are truly leaving me on the edge of my seat just waiting for their story to conclude in a way I know only WW can do!
Seth and Laura’s relationship had so many layers and with the way TKT ended...oh, boy is there about to be so many more layers! I cannot wait for the last book in the series to see just where Seth and Laura take us next!

ARE.YOU.READY??
YOU.ARE.NOT.READY.

I didn’t heed this warning although every part of me knew in my gut it would shred my heart.

OMFGAhhhhhhhh!!
What an exhilarating and heart wrenching ride!!! My emotions are still all over the place, I find myself picking up the tattered pieces of my heart only to realise I cannot possibly put it back together again!! I’m reeling and don’t know if I’ll get over TEMPTED TO KISS, Willow Winters creates and delivers with heart gripping and all consuming precision every. Single. Time. It is EVERYTHING and what’s more is that it will leave you feeling soooo much more long after you’ve read it. I still find myself thinking about the characters, the plot and questioning what would I do in that situation... it’s a deep and thought provoking story.

I’m in shock.
I’m well and truly shooketh.
SHOOKETH and now I’m rocking in the corner.

Seth King will F-up your heart.
Laura is undoubtedly one of my favourite heroines- she’s so relatable in so many ways. The words come to life with wave after wave of emotions and an electrifying chemistry that has intensified throughout this series.

How long until EASY TO FALL??
I need a hug.
I need a support group.
I need book therapy.
I need MORE!!!

You. Cannot. Predict. This. Plot.
So freakin’ good but Willow Winters, whyyyyyy????

I need ALL THE WORDS to fix my shattering heart. I CANNOT WAIT for the conclusion in EASY TO FALL!!!

10/10 HEART GRIPPING STARS
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Somethings not right!

No one should have to go through this much angst in one lifetime. Seth and Laura both deserve happiness! Every time they get one step forward they get jerked ten steps back. Yet their love for each other never wavers! Please let the next book finally bring them a peaceful HEA!

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!
