A Single Glance is an engrossing book; I didn’t want to put down once I started it. It’s about the Cross brothers, this story is Jase and Bethany’s story. As usual the writing is so amazing and this author’s ability to describe what the characters are feeling is perfectly done, and for this story, the characters are wounded so having insight into what their motives and thoughts are enriches the story. This is a 5 star read.
“He tasted like bad decisions and lust. A sin waiting to happen.”
~Bethany~
Woah, this book is intense. Emotions all over the place. It’s a whole new Jase in this one, than we see in his brother Carter’s books (Merciless series.)
Both Jase and Bethany are dealing with their own pain. Bethany from losing her sister, and Jase for reasons unknown so far. Hinted at but unknown.
The emotions that Bethany are feeling from one moment to the next are staggering. It’s enough to break your heart, and pi$$ you off at the same time. She like an emotional teenager at times, then you think, “Dude, she just lost her sister, it’s grief.” You have to cut her some slack. She needs someone to blame and she points it to Jase.
As for Jase. He’s an enigma of sorts. On the surface of who he is, you see someone that’s strong, and in control. Underneath, he has a deep well of pain. Someone that’s lonely, and needs the contact that Bethany provides him. In a way they’re each others comfort blanket. Except they have some really hot encounters in that blanket.
This book is so much of everything. It’s emotions from hot to cold, good to bad, up to down. It takes you on the best of rides and leaves you wanting more. I absolutely can’t wait for the next one.
This book is real intense and very emotional.
Right from the first page I was well and truly
Hooked with watching the two main characters
come alive on the page. Can’t wait for the rest
of the story of this couple.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.ase Cross’s
Jase and Bethany’s story made me feel all the emotions. My heart aches for them and how much they have been through. Every word was perfectly chosen to transport the reader to their world. Not sure how the author was able to surprise me in every chapter, keeping me turning the pages because I couldn’t read fast enough to find out the answers but this book is absolute brilliance. My heart is still racing and that is how I know I will definitely be recommending this book to all my reader friends.
Ahhh! Willow Winters has done it again folks! She has captured our hearts and fueled our lust only to leave us begging for more! A Single Glance was heart pounding and sensual! I have been waiting for Jase to get his story and I’m loving it! I have to admit I may love him most out of the Cross brothers! He’s battling with himself trying to learn from his past, helpless again the beautiful brunette that has stormed into his world. Bethany has broken me. I feel for her so much, everything she’s been through. I just want her to have peace with her sister and for this thing with Jace to to change both their lives! I loved everything about this book! I totally said some pretty nasty words about that cliffhanger ending! I’m convinced Willow enjoys torturing us! Gah! Cannot wait to find out what’s to come! Although A Single Glance is a stand-alone I recommend you read all the books that tie the cross brother together! I received an Arc in exchange for an honest review.
When I read a Willow Winter’s book, I know to do it on a day where I have nothing going, and I start early as I know I will read it till I am done! Jace Cross is tough, but he has a soft spot for Beth. Beth’s sister has died and all she knows is the name Cross. I was shocked at the end and can’t wait for the next book!!
When you open a story by this author prepare yourself for the unexpected. A SINGLE GLANCE is a stunner of a story that combines heart-rending moments, anticipation, astonishing moments, doubt, trust, scenes that leave you breathless, and jaw-dropping sensuous passionate romance. Thought-provoking read that held my interest until the last word!
SUPERB deep feeling page-turner. Jase Cross is a man with a plan – Bethany wants answers. Both characters are praise-worthy and together they are phenomenal. I sighed at the end wanting more. Relishing this read; on a voluntary basis I reviewed a pre-release copy.
A Single Glance is everything a romantic suspense story should be!! Intrigue, lies and the sexual tension to round it out! Willow Winters has done a remarkable job weaving this complex story. It will grab you from the first page and hold you hostage until the last. We get to see the good, the bad but most of all the ugly side of what can happen when you cross the wrong people. Bethany has stepped into a place she doesn’t understand and Jase is putting himself directly in her path whether she likes it or not. There are many things about him that she should hate, but she is still drawn to him. He should not get involved but he can’t seem to help himself. We get to watch as the tension builds up between them and it looks like it will be a hell of a ride!
This book does end in a cliffhanger, so we will all have to wait to see where their story goes! Personally, I can’t wait!!!
I have mixed feelings about A Single Glance. The blurb was vague but it doesn’t seem to match what I just read.
AND IT’S A CLIFFHANGER. You need to know that.
Regardless, I enjoyed the beginning to Jase and Bethany’s story. Their “relationship” moves fast – what started as business moved to much more very quickly.
Short plot overview: Bethany’s grieving her sister and is looking for answers. She goes to Jase’s club The Red Room looking for information and from there Jase is obsessed. Bethany later makes a deal with the devil, so to speak, to pay off her sister’s debt and get answers at the same time. Their attraction goes from zero to sixty in no time and quickly progresses into a relationship of sorts
The sex scenes were super hot, and the story line was enticing. My biggest con is that I felt like I was left hanging, duped into thinking this was a standalone.
I didn’t think that I could love the Cross brothers anymore than, I already did but oh my Jase!! Completely devoured this book and can’t wait for the next piece of the story because that ending!! I need more and I need it now!! This book is a great mix of everything, there is romance, mystery, chemistry off the charts between Jase and Bethany! It gives the reader all the feels the highs and the lows and craving more! Absolutely brilliant job by the author and can’t wait to see what happens throughout the rest of the series!
Arc review For honest review. When Bethany sister ends up dead, she goes to the red room bar to confronts the cross brothers ,but when jase sees her it sends him on his own way of confronting her. what a page turner. i can’t wait to see where this story goes thanks for the ending lol .its got love, hate,suspense , mystery and so much more. 10 stars.
This whole book is a tease and it had me hooked from the start. The story is an intense mystery, it’s sexy with a capital S.
Jase will melt your inhibitions just as quick as your panties. It’s a page turner that will keep you guessing with a huge OMG ending.

Holy Peaches…. This book was fanfreakingtastic…. Willow grabbed my full attention from the first page and I became consumed by Jase and Bethany. Their relation is beyond intense, full of so many emotions and I couldn’t get enough. This has jumped to my favorite Willow book for sure. I need more like yesterday….
Jase is literally my new favorite book boyfriend and I will take everything he offers….

AN INTENSELY AROUSING 5-STAR READ. MAGNIFICIENT ADRENALINE RUSH. WILLOW’S BEST WORK.
I may be a seasoned and faithful reader of all things Willow, but she still managed to BLOW me away with her BRILLIANCE. A Single Glance was so much more than I imagined, and it deserves every 5 star I can give it. Willow has packed so much intrigue, suspense, and intense steaminess into this one book. She left us all with eyes opened wide, jaws gapping, and balancing on the edge of our seats with that last chapter. It’s a nail-biter with so much remaining to be told. Willow can’t write fast enough to keep us all sated but we are all biding our time knowing when Willow finishes, it will be magnificent.
A Single Glance is book one in a spin-off from Willow’s Merciless Series. Jase Cross has been a character we’ve all been wondering about and now we have him in all his Adonis glory. Jase Cross is imposing, intense, and irresistible. He and his duffle bag of tricks lavish an AWAKENING AROUSAL like no other.
“I hope I never forget how the adrenaline is rushing through me, how eager I am. I want to remember it all. Every single detail. I’ll remember it, and I’ll have to, because I’m going to lose her. She’s not meant to be mine. That doesn’t mean I won’t take her though.”
He is well aware of his needs, what his body is missing, and he recognized that same need in Bethany. Her mind may tell her how bad and wrong Jase is for her, but her body is the ultimate traitor, craving everything he can give her like no other before has or ever will after him.
“It all hurts when I think about leaving him. That’s how I know I’ve fallen.”
Jase is a broken man who will steal your heart, no matter his past. He has found his soothing, healing balm in a girl named Bethany. Their relationship had a very untraditional start, a tumultuous middle, and a still-to-be-seen ending. Jase and Bethany in A Single Glance are my favourites so far, and I really love Carter and Aria in the Merciless Series. Jase is so loyal, protective, and possessive; He is harsh yet fair, hard yet soft. He has an empathy in his heart for Bethany, allowing her severe transgressions, while she deals with the events around her. Not to worry though, Jase will inflict the proper punishment in due time. A punishment that is sure to roil the blood in your veins while your nerve endings twitch.
“Bringing my fingertips to my lips, I remember the kiss I drunkenly stole–thank God I can blame it on the alcohol. He tasted like bad decisions and lust. A sin waiting to happen.”
My words provide nowhere near the impact on this page as Willows words did to my soul. While I’ve only read book one at this point, this trilogy has the potential of being Willow’s best yet. I totally recommend this as a top-read for dark-romance lovers. It’s a standalone but you may also enjoy the other books in this world. The Cross Brothers are a strong and beautiful force to be reckoned with.
Wow, I am stunned, what an unexpected ending!!
Bethany is looking for answers about her sister which brings her into the radar of the intense and complex criminal Jase Cross. No spoilers; really, this is an absolute must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a flawless and well written brilliant story which is dark, twisted, intense, dangerous, gritty, gripping and thrilling which along with the suspense had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I cannot wait to read the next book, and I feel a major book funk coming on lol!
4 Stars
With every thrust against his bedroom wall, he forced the air from my lungs. He took it, he made it his. The air, my body… and more.
Well, I don’t know where to start with this book. It is such a powerful emotional book. It is filled with pain, hate, lust, and hope. From the beginning of this book, you just know it will wreck you a little, that there is a twist that is coming we didn’t see you are just sitting on the edge of your seat filled with suspense and just trying to be ready for what happens next.
I’ve learned to love the cold. To love the heat that comes after. To love his touch. Whatever bit of it he’ll give me. Only when we’re in this room though. Outside of it, he’s still my enemy. And I’ll never forget that. But when I’m tied down and waiting for him to use me as he wishes… I live for these moments
Jace is a powerful man filled with darkness and pain. He has so many secrets that you never end up feeling like you know him. He is one big mystery. But throughout the book you can also feel the pull he has for Bethany and it feels that maybe it is even stronger from his side than hers. He is sweet deep down but you really have to look, dig, push and the try a little harder just to see a glimpse of it.
Her hands move behind her, gripping the small table and I swear I can hear her heartbeat loud and clear. As if it’s pounding inside of her just for me.
This book has so much to offer
Hate to love
Hot and steamy
Edge of your seat suspense
Emotional
A cliffhanger that will make you angry and want to beg the author for just one more chapter
A hot alpha male with a dark twist.
If you love any of those things this book is just for you. So sit back with a glass of wine and prepare to be swept away.
This is the first book in the series that focuses on Jase Cross and Bethany Fawn. It is just book one, so be prepared for the cliffhanger! Right from page one, you know this book is going to be intense! The love/hate, push/pull between these two keeps you on edge and engaged. I sympathized and liked both these characters. Jase is intense, wounded, guilt-ridden and feels undeserving of love. All of that can not stop the consuming desire he feels for Bethany. Bethany is in a spiral of pain, anger and guilt. She is torn between her quest for answers and vengeance and the attraction and need she feels for Jase. And she refuses to admit or surrender to those feelings. When these two come together sparks fly and the kinky scenes get very hot. The emotional turmoil, suspense, drama, angst, danger and heartache have hardly gotten started and I’m already nervous about what will happen! So deliciously good! I can’t wait for the next book!
Willow has done it again! These Cross brothers just keep getting better and better. I love Jace!! Him and Bethany are so good together, but they’re both fighting thier own demons. Can’t wait til the next book to find out what happens!!!
5 Gripping Stars
I received an ARC of this book for an honest review
Holy Shit what just happened ? Nobody does a cliffhanger like Willow Winters! So if you are not a fan of cliffhangers then I would recommend not reading this till the next book is out . But it is a have to read I promise you that. The cliffhanger is a real doozy.
At first I was skeptical that this book might be a little to dark for me , but after the second chapter I was hooked. Jase is a criminal , a bad guy who Bethany believes had something to do with her sisters murder. Bethany is lonely and out for answer about what happened to her sister Jenny. What she gets may be her very own down fall.
“Hope is a long way of saying goodbye”
I loved every gut clenching page in this book . I am hooked on this story now . I will say it is dark, mysterious and filled with many questions. Question that I can not wait to have answered. Winters has this was of writing that brings you into the story . When a character in her book is mad , sad or angry you the reader feel as if you yourself were having that emotion. That to me is what makes a story great . I can not wait to see what comes next for Jase and Bethany.
A Single Glance is a a great read. I was excited that we were getting another Cross brothers book, and it’s all that and more. The story is intense, suspenseful, some emotion, and sexiness. This author knows how to draw us readers in and keep us completely captivated till the end. The characters were great, and likeable. Bethany is looking for answers, at the Red Room and that puts her on Jase radar. The ending is a cliffhanger and leaves you guessing about what is going to happen. I hate waiting in general so this next book better be out soon.
