From USA Today bestselling author, Willow Winters, comes a seductive and emotionally captivating, second chance romance.It’s impossible to get over what we had.He was everything – irresistibly handsome, ruthlessly elite, and seemingly untouchable – while I was nothing.Yet he protected me when I was at my lowest; more than that, he wanted me.He devoured me… and I did the same to him.Until it all … the same to him.
Until it all fell apart and I ran as far away from Madox as I could. After all, the two of us were never meant to be together.
I never thought I’d see him again, years later. Let alone be under him in the way I’ve craved since we said goodbye.
The attraction between us still burns like fire, but time can’t change the past. And I don’t know if it’s possible for us to mend all of our broken pieces.

Cards of Love: Three of Swords was an intense and emotionally captivating second chance romance. Madox and Sophie’s story isn’t your typical boy meets girl and lives happily ever after one. Their relationship is intense and the chemistry between them is enough to start a five alarm fire. When life pulls sends them each in different directions neither forgets the bond they shared and years later the spark between them still remains. These two pulled at my heartstrings and kept me teetering on the edge of my seat trying to unravel the twists and turns their story took. I couldn’t help but want to smack some sense into them even as I rooted for them to get their selves together and to see what everyone else could so clearly see. Madox and Sophie took my poor heart on an emotional rollercoaster ride and kept me riveted until the end which I didn’t want to see come. Hopefully, in time some of the other characters who intrigued me will get their own stories as well! If you’re in the mood for a sweet yet angsty second chance romance that’ll tug on your heartstrings then look no further than Cards of Love: Three of Swords.

You will have to ride this rollercoaster of emotions and struggle along side of Maddox and Sophie to find out.

What an intense and emotional second chance read. Both Madox and Sophie never forgot about each other and once they were back together it was like they never where apart. Such a beautiful story, loved every single part of it.
Willow has given her all to deliver this 5-star read. This is a shorter story, but she manages to make us feel the deep love Sophie and Madox have for each other in the first few chapters. We share in their love, their pain, and their grief, all because of the beautiful writing of this author.
Willow takes us on the elusive emotional roller coaster ride. Introducing us to the familiarity of first-love and makes you remember how easy it can be to fall into old habits and lost loves. She brings out the pain and the angst when love isn’t enough. The pain of betrayal cuts like a knife, and worst of all, the hurt of being unworthy and unwanted. This is truly a true love story.
This was my first Cards of Love book and I loved they way Willow Winters laid it out. Starting each chapter with a tarot card definition gave a little insight into the feel for the chapter.
Pride is such a nasty beast and it will build unbreakable walls if you let it. I absolutely loved Three of Swords. Not only was it beautiful love story built around flawed and real characters, but it also doled out a heavy dose of reality check for anyone willing to listen and become aware of what might be burdening their own lives.
I love Willow’s books but this one felt lacking. It was a lot of back and forth about why their love didn’t work the first time around. It was missing the normal flair and angst that Willow writes. It was a quick read.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read.
Very captivating book.
Kept me intrigued and interested.
I really loved Sophie and Madox.
They had a very strong bond towards one another from the moment they meet.
Their bond just grow stronger and stronger with time.
They lacked for nothing emotionally. It was communication with one another that would be their downfall.
In true Winters form the read is in for one amazing read.
With a twist that jaw dropping.
Well Miss Willow has done it again. I loved the story and history between Madox and Sophie.
Loved this story! Madox and Sophie have been through much and these things are breaking them apart. When they get a second chance will they take it? Such a great journey these two go through!
Three of Swords quickly became one of my favorites my Winters. It was so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I could feel the struggles both had on their relationship. I spent most of the book rooting for them to get it together, knowing that they belonged with one another.
I was instantly drawn to Sophie. I connected with her right off the bat. I have felt what she was going through, it felt like I was living through Sophie. And Maddox, that man is just wow, can I have more please. I love his devotion to Sophie. Loved how he wasnt turned into the manwhore, like most are. It is so incredibly rare for me to read about a man like that.
Winters proved once again why I will ways be a fan.
I loved this read!. The story is fast-paced with lots of drama and emotion. Madox and Sophie are amazing characters and have lots of depth. Their chemistry is intense and steamy and had me hooked from beginning to end.
“Not everyone believes in reverse meanings, but I do. When the Three of Swords is dealt downward, it no longer means grieving, it no longer means pain. The Three of Swords in reverse signifies the releasing of suffering, and that forgiveness is yours to take.”
Willow does such an outstanding job with her books and this was no different. She knows exactly how to write that takes you into the characters world. You feel everything the characters feel and the storyline just flows perfectly. This book will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. Madox and Sophie are two people who love each other in spite of their flaws. However, they never let the other know their feelings. When she leaves, neither expected the hole that would be in their hearts. Now that she is back, Madox is going to whatever it takes to get her back, and never let her run away again. They have a lot to work through. There was a twist that I did not see coming that really shocked me. This is a story of second chances, forgiveness, trust and love that never dies. This is another book you do not want to miss. Willow definitely brings out the feels again
Once again this author doesn’t disappoint and delivers another sigh swoon worthy read with an intensity between two characters, that only W.W. can deliver. A story of second chances between Madox and Sophie, two people who were on and off for years when they were younger, until Sophie finally makes the off permanent. Now three years later she’s back in N.Y. where it all began and ends up seeing Madox in a bar. Madox can’t believe his eyes when he spots Sophie and the only thing he can think of is not letting her leave again and wishing she doesn’t leave him. But the past is still unresolved and these two need to learn to communicate before it all crashes down…again.
Oh my my my what a read that had me reaching for tissues a couple of times and feeling the intensity between these jump off the pages. Even though it’s a short read, it wallops quite a punch and Madox is 10 stars swoon worthy. Madox has made it into my top 10 of book boyfriends, the tipping point, he waited for Sophie not turning into a man wh***….sigh swoon sigh swoon….not only that but Sophie was true to him as well. I LOVED how both showed their vulnerable side and how even after many years, both were still in love with each other. Ohhhh and I can’t forget about the little twist in the end…LOVED IT !!!
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
Raw Love and Emotion at its Best!
I loved this story so much. It is hot! It is emotional! And it makes me want to believe in second chances. Madox and Sophie are perfect examples of what flawed lovable characters read like. They each in their own right have bits that just don’t work right but they also have their strengths and everything that makes them likable. I felt raw love and emotion along with some type of personal strength. I understood them and wanted them to just figure it out because they deserved their second chance. I also loved the way each chapter started because it added to the theme and experience of the book for me. I know I will read again…Maybe when I’m feeling a little low and need both a cry and a happy ending!
Madox and Sophie’s story is absolutely captivating! The tension between the two is nearly unbearable but it’s sooo worth it! The tarot card bit at the start of each chapter was really cool to read. Definitely recommend!
Cards of Love was a great, fast-paced, emotional, second chance romance. The chemistry between Sophie and Madox was undeniable. Enjoyed their story.
5 SEXY HOT STARS!! This is a sexy hot story with secrets and little communication for one heck of a ride. Sophie and Madox have a lot to work through, but boy do they need each other. As always Willow Winters gives us a fantastic story that you can’t put down. This is another great addition to the Cards of Love stories.
OMG, this book was fan-freaking-tastic. I loved the characters, the story and the emotions it brought out were truly breathtaking. Just a few quick things I loved about this story, without spoilers. One was in chapter 12 around 71% through the book, I had the most messed up “aha, oh sh*t” moment (trust me you’ll understand when you read it). Then in chapter 16 around 91% through the book, I had a huge “you b*#ch” moment (which again you will understand when you read it). It has been a while since I’ve truly had my emotions brought up so fiercely while reading a book, I was literally crying at some points, holding my breath at others and breathing a huge sigh of relief at some points. This story is everything you could want in a romance with some steamy parts that will have your pulse racing. Absolutely loved this book and it is a definite must read in my book!!!!
This is an amazing love story between two people, Sophie and Madox. They are given a second chance to get back together. Each chapter begins with a saying from Tarot cards and what that card means. It was so well written and the love between Sophie and Madox is so beautiful. Without giving away spoilers, there was a miscommunication which led to their break up three years ago and then they finally see each other three years later. I absolutely loved this book. It was filled with such emotion and such love. I highly recommend this book and if you are a fan of Willow Winters you will love this book
Oh wow this story!!
Love, lust and heartbreak.
Their made for each other but the road hasn’t been an easy one. The twist in my gut this story gave me will be there for a while, I couldn’t put it down, my love for Madox grew the further along I went, I wanted to give him a hug my heart was in my throat. It was intense but oh so good.
Willow you are amazing in everything you do!!
This is a great read! I really felt the struggle of the characters and loved them!
