Tease Me Once

W. Winters

3.69 AVERAGE


I can always guarantee a Willow Winters novel will set me on fire and Tease Me Once is no exception. In book one of the Shame On You series, we meet Declan, the youngest of the alpha Cross brothers, who runs into someone in another life who showed him compassion when others avoided him. Will he return the favor when she needs him to trust her?

Braelynn is ready for a change. She'll "fake it until there's more happiness than pain in her life." No more loneliness, no more abusive ex-husband, and no more living with others. Her job waitressing at The Club will hopefully set her in a new direction, but her boss is Declan Cross. A vulnerable young boy she met as a child who now radiates power and danger. She had always felt a pull toward him and now it's a new and frightening dynamic. She knows better than to trust a man like him.

Declan is obsessed with Braelynn, but he can't afford to lose himself in her. Someone is leaking information to the Feds and everyone is suspect, even her. What he is about to do could not only destroy him but also his brothers. Blood is thicker than water. When it comes down to it, who will he choose?

The heat between Braelynn and Declan is so carnal, yet there is an underlying need that is so moving. They belong together, but their tragic pasts have turned into a future that could destroy them both. Braelynn is made stronger from her past and with Declan's BDSM tendencies and his insistence on her communicating her triggers to him, she starts to feel safe with him. But something bad is about to happen.

I couldn't put this hot, steamy book down and the cliffhanger ending is such a tease. I can't wait to pick up book 2 of the series because I want these two to have a happy ever after.

Thank you to Ms. Winters for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.

Yes. Yes. Yes. I have been searching for any book that has as much smut as Den Of Vipers (not to compare the plots or even the type of smut just the amount) and this is it. I have been wanting to read a book from W. Winters for so long and I’m so sad it’s taken me this long. Absolutely love the writing and plot. Smut is amazing and I have already started the next book in the series. I’m obsessed

Braelynn is starting her life over, working at an exclusive private club that caters to the kinkier side of people.
Declan is the naughty boss, they knew each other in the past.
He’s all alpha, demanding, possessive and dirty in the best way.
There’s a mystery/suspense aspect.
BDSM is a major part of the story.
It’s dark, decadent and will leave you shocked and needing more with a mother of cliffhanger ending!
