Heartless

Author: Willow Winters
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: July 17, 2018

BLURB

At first, his words were harsh and his touch cold.
I knew he was a dangerous man and he could destroy me if only he wanted to.

That’s not what he wanted though.
It’s so easy to get lost in the touch of a man who’s powerful and unattainable.
A man who wants for nothing … except me.
Soft touches and stolen glances made my blood heat and my heart beat in a way I never knew it could.

Yes, it’s easy to fall into a haze of lust and desire.
But there’s a reason his reputation is one of a heartless man.
And I should have known better.

MY rEVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Maybe if he grows to care for me, everything can be okay.  It can be made right.”
-Aria

Heartless picks up where Merciless left off.  Aria feels torn between her feelings for Carter and the loyalty to her family.  She must eventually make a choice who will she choose?

“She’s a weakness I never intended, but one I refuse to give up.”-Carter

Carter full of darkness and hatred prepares for war with the Talverys.  But there is one Talvery he will do anything for.  Will Avery ever be able to sway him from his plans?  What becomes of them if she can’t?

If you knew anything from Merciless, you know NOTHING at all.  Be prepared for everything you think you know to be turned upside down and inside out.  There are twists and turns that you will not see coming.

I enjoyed this book tremendously but found that the character development overshadowed the plot for most of the book.  We get a chance to delve into Carter’s past and get to know his character a lot more intimately. We also have a chance to know Jase a little better and reconnect with Daniel and Addison.

I loved these moments and the chance to connect with Carter’s brothers as well as Addison but I must say however that the plot felt a little stagnant because it at times.  It seemed like Carter and Aria were in a rut and they just agreed to status quo for most of the book.  Nobody rocked the boat.  They know what their problems are and yet neither one of them strives to find a solution.

That is not to say the pace did not pick up and the plot did not thicken because it did in a BIG WAY towards the end.  The story I was expecting from this author flourished and shined.  It had me breathless with anticipation and ended on a cliff-hanger that had me absolutely flabbergasted.  The ending left me hanging, literally with my jaw open wide, me gripping my kindle for all it was worth and exhaling an unsteady breath.

Aria and Carter.  I loved them together.  I’ve never seen a couple so well matched.  Their push and pull.  Their love and hate.  They form a perfect yin and yang.  A perfect, if not known to them, symbiotic relationship.

I find Carter’s character has always seemed bigger than life.  This book shows how human he can be.  I loved it.

Aria.  Unsure as always, is treading water.  She’s hoping to find a way to save her family and have Carter at the same time.  Knowing this is impossible, she must make a choice.. And she does….

For those who love their romance books with all the feels and angst; romance that keeps your heart in your throat with anticipation then, sends it down to your toes with dread.

I received an ARC of this book.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

About the author
AUTHOR LINKS
Willow Winters is so happy to be a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Bestselling Romance Author. She likes her action hot and her bad boys hotter. She certainly doesn’t hold back on either one in her writing!

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
