4.5 stars So I've spent a great deal of hours already in The Merciless World but being back with another Cross brother, it feels like I've never left. I love it here. Declan and Braelynn have a bit of history so when they are reunited sparks fly and they never really stop. This was the perfect mix of suspense, plot and steam. Classic dark WW if you will. And honestly I was here for every minute. This is the start of a new series in the Merciless world, so take from that what you will, but needless to say that not only once again am I hooked and (not so) patiently waiting for book 2, but I really can't get enough of this. I received an advance copy of this from Valentine PR and my review is unbiased and my opinions are my own.
Whew. *fans self*
Tease Me once is seductive, and dark, and taboo. I enjoyed every moment of it! If you’re a fan of the Cross brothers and have been dying for Declan’s story—look no further because it has arrived!
In fact, I haven’t even read the main books in the Merciless world yet, just another one of the spin-off series, and found this one super easy to get into and enjoy, despite that. So if you haven’t read any of the other stories following the Cross family, I wouldn’t worry too much about jumping in here! Actually, it made me want to read them even more, now!
Declan Cross runs one of the hottest clubs, where his patrons get up to all kinds of fun, to say the least. Braelynn’s fried helps her get a job at the club but she is blindsided when she discovers the man who runs it is a memory from the past: Declan.
What ensues is a passionate game of cat and mouse and neither are willing to let the other out of their sight, even when the suspense is kicked up a notch and Declan discovers someone close to him is a mole.
If you’re looking for a quick, intense, and steamy read, this is the one!
Thanks Valentine PR and Willow Winters for the chance to read an early copy!

Let's just start with the end, shall we?!?!? I knew this would end in a cliffhanger. It's classic Willow so it's a given. But that ending!?!?!!? I feel like I was punched in the face with my mouth hanging open. That's the kind of book hangover I have right now. Braelynn and Declan... complicated, mysterious, riddled with history. There's instant attraction and explosive chemistry and a whole lot of steam! There are very few authors, like count on ONE hand few, who can write cliffhanger books that I will read. Willow is one of them. She knows how to hook you, string you along, and keep you coming back for more. I need more...now.

This book is sexy and dangerous. Declan Cross has power and possessiveness radiating from him. This was my 1st experience with the Merciless world and it will not be my last.
I loved the dual POV. With Declan being so reserved with the outside world it was nice to get a better understanding of him.
Braelynn's new found independence is something I can relate to. Leaving difficult relationships is always hard, but even harder when that relationship has broken your spirit.
The tension to builds between Declan and Braelynn is suffocating for them both. They struggle to accept what's forming between them. The danger surrounding The Club makes you want to scream at Braelynn to run, while also telling her to enjoy the thrill.
The cliffhanger has me dreading the wait for book 2.
If you love dual POV, possessive heroes, praise kink, spanking, and dangerous men then pick this up today!
*Thanks Willow for allowing me to be a part of your ARC team.
*TW: past domestic violence, murder, spanking

I've been wanting to read Willow Winters' books for so long, and I finally did with TEASE ME ONCE! It was my introduction into the Merciless World, and now I want to read all of the books! My expectations were met with this book.
Declan Cross is a brutal storm, unforgiving and reckless.
Braelynn arrives at her new job eager to start over and escape her scarring past. When she encounters her boss, Declan Cross, memories from the past resurface, and sparks and attraction start to flourish.
The possessiveness that Declan feels over Braelynn had me swooning and heart racing! At the same time, I loved how Declan always wanted an open communication from Braelynn. It was the cutest thing, especially coming from a man like him.
"I'm not a good man, but I'll do what I can to be good to you."
This book is dark, kinky, quick, highly entertaining, and exhilarating! I was passing the pages so fast wanting to keep reading more. That ending gave me whiplash and I cannot wait until I read the sequel!
