Braelynn is starting over and living on her own for the first time. One of her friends gets her a new job as a waitress and she’s excited to be a new woman. Declan has had a rough start to life and is doing what he does for his family. This book was amazing to read and I devoured it in a matter of hours. I love mafia dark romances and this hit the spot for me. It wasn’t quite what I was expecting it to be but I think that made it even better. The way they interact with each other was intriguing to me and I really want to see more and see them open up more to each other. The ending has my heart in knots and I need to know what happens next!
Willow Winters understood the assignment!
Tease Me Once is the first book in Declan’s series (finally!) and is a close contender for my favorite out of all of the Merciless books! Tease Me Once was thrilling, dark, and of course… KINKY! These Cross brothers are so dirty and I’m here for it.
Tease Me Once also follows Braelynn Lennox, a new employee of Declan’s all-exclusive club after escaping an awful situation and completely starting over. Declan and Braelynn go way back and upon seeing each other for the first time in years all hell breaks loose! Declan is so possessive and Braelynn is scarred. But does she have ulterior motives? That cliffhanger TOOK ME OUT! I kept flipping the pages of my kindle looking for more chapters! I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!
Willow Winters always leaves it all on the table and Tease Me Once was no different. She surpassed all of my expectations and sucked me back into the Merciless world like I never left. I can’t wait for the next book in the series – I need it more than I need air!

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!
Buckle in, because this one is a wild ride! Set in the world of the Cross Brothers, this book follows Declan, the owner of The Club and Braelynn, a waitress at the club. Their relationship builds fast, this book is steamy, spicy and oh so good. I have never blushed so many times as when I was reading this book. The wine scene? Oh my gosh it was amazing. There are BDSM elements in this book and it is dark romance, ending in a cliffhanger. Willow knocked this book out of the park and I can’t wait for book 2.
Okay so I literally just finished reading Tease Me Once by @willowwintersauthor. So when does the 2nd book in Declan Cross's story come out be abuse I umm. Neeed it like right now, thanks!
This book is set in Willow's Merciless world and is the story of Declan Cross and Brealynn.
This book is definetly dark and moody. Its everything a Mafia based book strives to be, if I am being honest.
You need to go run and grab this first book in Declan and Brealynn's story. I will warn you that this cliffhanger is a little intense.

Love being back in the Merciless world again! Declan is all kinds of yummy and so gritty. Braelynn is unsure of herself and her life choices, but once Declan has his eye on her…*sigh* This book goes hard and fast and I loved every minute of it, but that cliffie was not where I wanted it to end. Great book, and if you have not read the Merciless series you don’t necessarily need to in order to read this one but I recommend it. 4.5/stars & 3.5/spice
This book was just amazing and yes the spice was very very good. There was instant lust and I like that more than instant love. I love the way he comforts her, and the softness of him. It was just the perfect amount of darkness and sweetness. Really brought me out of my book slump. The true sign of romance is murder right? I don’t want to give to much away but just wow. I need the next one! Amazing! Declan and Braelynn have things that need to deal with for sure but this book was amazing! The cliffhanger really got me
Declan and Brealynn were amazing!
Their connection is undeniable. You could try to cut it with a knife because it's that thick! Declan is a Cross brother and his story is part of the Merciless Universe written by W. Winters.
Declan and Braelynn already knew each other from years ago before he became the man he is now. Declan makes Braelynn a proposal after giving her a completely different position at The Club. She, of course, accepts this indecent proposal.
As they continue to allow themselves the connection they have, Braelynn begins to learn what the Cross brothers are into. Declan is subject to find out who may be infiltrated in the club. Though he wasn't as dark as I thought he'd be (maybe I'm in too deep in dark romance, idk), but he is smoking hot. Their scenes are amazingly written, as can be expected by Mrs. Winters. She never fails to make me blush and wish her characters were real.
There was a scene that make me hurt for Braelynn. She struggled through a punishment. Her mind took her into dark thoughts. The aftercare after a scene is so important. She didn't have it. My heart ached for her.
