Tease Me Once

W. Winters

3.69 AVERAGE


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

Review to come ❤️

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.

4.25 Stars / 4.5 Steam Fans

Tease Me Once is a twisty, sexy, dark introduction to the youngest Cross brother, Declan. When Brealynn needs a fresh start after a trauma-filled marriage, Declan steps up to help her out with an alternative means to work through the trauma.

ARC REVIEW
This is one of those books that’s so addicting. You start it before bed and then can’t put it down because you wanna see what happens. I absolutely am obsessed with those types of books. And also Declan?! He’s perfection. I haven’t read any other cross brother book but if they’re anything like him then count me in im in love.
And dear author… I am waiting for book 2… I need it. ASAP
quick, fun, STEAMY, mafia read!
