dark fast-paced

OMG! How do we not fall in love with Declan. He’s broody, and sexy. He’s the perfect blend of Dominant while also being soft for her. The end!!! Oh my goodness!!! The end! I can’t wait for the next book!

Holy HOT Batman! The tension between Braelynn and Declan is *chef’s kiss* from beginning to end. It’s fun, fast-paced, and sexy as hell. I read this book in one sitting and I’m genuinely itching to read book 2. These two are addictive!

Review Time Once Again!

This is Tease me Once by Willow Winters. It’s book one of the Shame on You trilogy. When I tell you Willow Winters never lets me down, SHEWWWWW! Let’s get into it - Stars 5/5 + Spice 6/5 + the ending alone Intrigue 5/5! I couldn’t pull myself away.

We meet Braelynn who has recently left her ex, Travis & moved back to her comfort zone. Meanwhile, her friend Scarlett gets her a job as a waitress at The Club. Not everyone knows about The Club, which is by design. The main floor entertains the elite. The man who runs it? Declan Cross - a ghost of Braelynn’s past & known to as a ruthless man who moves in silence.

What do they have in common? They’re both intrigued by each other, how they’ve grown, & what this job means for Braelynn. Declan makes her a seductive & decadent offer…..if she says yes - & it’s in her best interest to - EVERYTHING will change.

Will you enter The Club & see where all the pieces land?

** Fair warning - the book gets spicy but also incredibly dark & it DOES end on a cliffhanger **

I wish you could give half stars! I definitely think this book is better than 4 stars. But not quiet at a 5 star level for me.
This book contains dark themes and heavy reference to BDSM. It is plot driven as well as spicy. Being aware of the content and trigger warnings is a must. And it does end on a cliffhanger that is steep enough it leaves you craving the next one.
I can’t! This book takes your heart and makes you feel all the things. I mean I can’t get enough of the broken darkness in Declan. And the hope for rebuilding and overcoming her past that Braelynn has. Declan is so dominating and at times harsh and Braelynn responds to the domination but shies away from the harshness that he exudes.
They are fast falling for each other even though Braelynn wants to pretend the darkness of Declan’s world doesn’t exist. Declan is paranoid and believes that Braelynn is using him to learn his secrets and destroy his world but he can’t stay away from her.
The harsh reality of their relationship leaves you feeling heartbroken for both of them and hoping that the truth reveals itself before they destroy each other.

ARC REVIEW
No spoilers!
(P.s I havent read the merciless series yet)

I quite liked this book. Was a bit of a fast read but I'm always down with that.
I love the characters. The cliffhanger drove me nuts. There was a lot of world description and not much plot. But it's the first book of a series so I can understand that. 

I'm definitely keen to keep reading though!

I received this book as an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
✅dark romance
✅touch her and you die
✅cliff hanger

Declan is the youngest of the Cross brothers and runs a night club.As far as the authorities are concerned, he runs a gentleman’s club with playrooms in the basement

I loved every moment of this book Declan, although very hard on the exterior I feel has a very soft spot for Braelynn. I don’t believe that she is betraying him however, I would be completely shocked. If so also the cliffhanger on the first book had me speechless. Can’t wait for book number two.
