*** Now a USA Today bestselling series! ***

USA Today Best Selling Author, Willow Winters, brings you an EPIC anti-hero brought to his knees in a heart-wrenching, binge-worthy series.

I should’ve known she would ruin me the moment I saw her.
Women like her are made to destroy men like me.
I couldn’t resist her though.
Given to me to start a war; I was too eager to accept.

But I didn’t know what she’d do to me. That she would change everything.
She sees through me in a way no one else ever has.
Her innocence and vulnerability make me weak for her and I hate it.
I know better than to give in to temptation.

A ruthless man doesn’t let a soul close to him.
A cold-hearted man doesn’t risk anything for anyone.
A powerful man with a beautiful woman at his mercy … he doesn’t fall for her.

Mr. CEO

Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.

In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!

Happy reading and best wishes,

Willow xx

    You'll want them after you get started with this one. You may decide to hate Carter or Aria but as you read the books you will come to love them. That is of course only after wanting to shake some sense into both of them. If you don't want angst don't read this book. If you can't deal with real feelings and emotional confusion don't read this book. But if you are into a real story with in depth characters, lots of twists and turns, lots of surprises and dark beautiful romance then read this book. It's soooo good. When W Winters offers dark romance she delivers on the promise. So, go ahead, just buy All he'll Ever Be and save yourself the trouble of downloading four books and just download the one that has all four. You won't regret it.

    The Merciless Series was on my TBR for far too long so I decided to finally binge it a few days ago. What a great decision it was! Merciless is such an intense story bursting with sinful attraction, decadent sensuality and has an electrifying intrigue!

    Aria Talvery is kidnapped by one of her father’s numerous enemies and struggling to stay hopeful in this sudden miserable world! Carter Cross is a rival she should fear with the poor treatment she suffers while being his captive, but he elicits dark desires from her. He controls her body response so easily that it’s riveting. She’s so attracted to the the man and want her freedom, but he doesn’t make anything easy for her with his strong temptation.

    Aria undoubtedly has a submissive nature, but she also demonstrates sassiness and a strong will. Her body and mind are at war for sure! She doesn’t bow easily to Carter’s commands and it only makes their relationship so much more interesting!

    W. Winters knows how to write an impressive alpha hero and Carter is the embodiment of dangerous and domineering. Seriously, that man is so alluring and sinisterly magnetic! His presence is so imposing and his possessiveness over Aria is to die for! He had me breathless and my heart in chaos over his controlling and dominant attitude!

    I listened to the audiobook of Merciless and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Both narrators personified the protagonists perfectly! The level of feel is amazingly translated through their terrific play! It made this listening even more remarkable!

    This novel has an amazing plotline full of scheme, power plays and action. A war is brewing between the rival organizations and Aria and Carter’s affiliations are tested. The lines are blurred and I was so hooked on this story! Now, I can’t wait to discover what happens next for Carter and his songbird in Heartless. There’s still so much more to unveil!

    Dont waste your time reading this book! Its absolutely disgusting,Carter is a sadist and deeply disturbed human being who kidnaps Aria and forces her to submit to his lust by starving her and locking her in a cell.She gets no say in the matter whatsoever.If this is the author's version of a romance story I'm deeply I couldn't even finish it,it just disgusted me!

    5.0 out of 5 stars 4.75 starts Merciless Ride
    Reviewed in India on October 31, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This is my first book from this author. I have heard about her so much. I was thinking which book to pick and finally picked this. I think now I understand why there are so many fans for W Winters.

    The writing style and plot of this book is awesome. Even the grip in plot which makes you to turn pages ahead is also good. However, only reason I gave this 4.75 starts is because I hated heroine Aria. She is strong, I admired her for mental strength initially, but its not enough according to me.

    Book starts with Aria Talvery, daughter of violent crime head being captive and passed over to Carter Cross. Carter is elder of 4 brothers and head of drug cartel. He takes Aria as captive with help of another family and assumes other two families (Talvery and Ramano) will start a war and end up with lot of casualties which will benefit him.

    Cater is powerful, cold and calculative.  He is a man you’re going to hate to love. He is merciless! His plans get altered as Aria becomes unwilling captive. Aria is strong, but defiant character of her was not up to the mark for me. It was hard to decipher the chemistry, it felt more like Carter exerting his will control over Aria, and less of Aria’s self-preservation.

    I did wonder on certain things, how lust takes over when basic necessities like hunger is not satiated? Not sure how human mind works, 2 weeks of isolation will cause you think of something like lust, when basic necessities are not met?. According to me Aria didn’t even try to escape, I understand sometime being smart and let them think you obey them is fine, blatantly downright agreeing for sex , she smartly answers as the thing on her mind is drawing pad.

    I didn’t see where the story was going, I was immersed in it. Cater is Merciless, ruthless and driven. Carter won’t disappoint you.  This book is fast-paced and easily kept my attention and interest. It’s dark and taboo yet fascinating. This book has a proper balance and addictive storyline. It is from dual POV and had minimal secondary characters. Jase was intriguing. I cannot wait to get stuck into Heartless-Book 2 in the series.

    Mi pare difficile trovare un libro più offensivo spacciato per un romance. Se lo scopo era quello di raccontare la storia di un criminale privo di scrupoli e di una ragazza fatta prigioniera e violentata, allora ci siamo ; ma se, come credo, l’autrice voleva dimostrare che il controllo, le sevizie e l’umiliazione condite da qualche moina rappresentano una forma di amore, allora no, proprio non ci siamo. Che poi ci siano donne che danno cinque stelle a queste oscenità, non me lo spiego.

    I confess I’m not a dark specialist and when I read this book I was not aware of the dark romance genre yet. Didn’t know about triggers warnings and any of that. This book is certainly in the deep corner of the dark romance. Full of triggers. It wouldn’t be a book I’d comfortably read, but when it’s the written word I try to oversee a lot of things. Be warned this book ends in a cliffhanger and if you are easily triggered, don’t read it.
