From USA Today bestselling author Willow Winters comes a heart-wrenching, edge-of-your-seat gripping, romantic suspense. I ran from him, even though my heart knew better.Love was one thing, but survival another.He chose a life of crime. I never wanted any of it; I only wanted him. I left when the danger bled into my life, taking more than I was willing to sacrifice.I should have known he’d come … sacrifice.
I should have known he’d come for me. Men like him always get what they want.
The temptation in his eyes, the heat of his touch . . . it’s all still there, but his gaze is harsher now and his grasp unrelenting.
He’s not the boy I fell in love with, although pieces of what we once had are still there. I can feel it.
I know what he wants from me, and I know it comes with a steep price. I’ll pay it though, if for no other reason than to touch him again. Just once more.
I’ll close my eyes and forget about the risks that come with this life and with him. I only hope he doesn’t do the same.
Desperate to Touch is book 2 in a series. Hard to Love must be read first.

DESPERATE TO TOUCH (Hard to Love Book 2) By Willow Winters
Willow Winters has made it to the top of my list. I am in awe of the talent of this lady. She brings such a well written solid story line, intense passion and chemistry, heart wrenching angst, drama, twists and turns, mafia and the secondary characters are well done too. I am anxiously awaiting the next installment of Seth & Laura. These cliffhangers are killer! 5 stars all the way!
Laura has been living on her own for years now. She thought she had gotten away from Seth and the life he lives until one car ride changes everything.
Seth is now back in her life and he wants her body and her obedience. He may have left his old life but he has only jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire. Working alongside the Cross brothers comes with many risks. Risks that may just include Laura.
Marcus is ever elusive as Seth and the Cross brothers try to get one step ahead of him.
Can Seth keep her safe or will history repeat itself? Do Seth and Laura have anything more than history and passion?
The pace slows down considerably in this second instalment. With the passion and all the moving pieces being set up, you may not even take notice.
Desperate to Touch intertwines with the series as a whole and it piqued my interest. What a web W. Winters is weaving. It is complex and suspenseful.
Seth and Laura’s back and forth is multi-faceted. They are both hurt but they can’t seem to let go. He demands things in repayment that she refuses to give. This gives the story an even darker feel.
I always love seeing a character at his breaking point and in this book we are able to see Seth’s. Seeing a commanding and powerful man brought to his knees is something I need from these alpha-male characters. It makes them more human which, for me, is a turn on.
Laura still has some soul searching to do. She must eventually make a decision. She loves Seth but is willfully ignorant as to who he is and what he does. She must decide if she can be the woman that stands strong and proud by his side. At this time, I do not believe she is.
There is also a twist I did not see coming. It has me excited for more of this world.
And, f you didn’t already know it already from this author, get ready for a whole lot of sexy and a cliff-hanger ending that will leave you breathless.
I received a free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Desperate to Touch is the second installment in this series of Seth and Laura’s story, and these are not standalone novels.
I am totally overwhelmed by the feeling and emotions. Willow has such a way with words that it will make you part of the story. Her descriptions, attention to detail and overall storyline will rock your world and heart, and not put them back together until she’s ready! Once again it ends on a cliffhanger, but I know this lady won’t leave us hanging for long, so don’t be discouraged in one clicking this book. It’s so good why wait.
Don’t miss this!
Dark hot and heavy
Addictively hot ! This dark enemies /second chance romance was one I couldn’t put down !
It’s a cluster f of things that you can’t help but over think and wonder while loving every minute of the chemistry between Seth and Laura !
This book does end on a Cliffy but I was expecting that knowing there’s more books to this series ! But I’ve read this one in less then a day and I can’t wait to pick up the next one !
Note: you do need to read hard to love before this one – so this series does need to be read in order !
8 years since Laura left Seth with only a note. Seth is now working for the Cross brothers but has been keeping an eye on Laura. He will and still does love her but doesn’t know how to approach her and be in her life. Things aren’t as easy as it should be. Laura knows at some point that Seth will come for her to collect what is his. She has been working on getting information to give to him in exchange for her freedom so to speak. But will it be enough? Will these two be able to put away the past and move on with what is right in front of them? Is there still love between these two? Very gripping, suspenseful, intriguing part of this book. If you weren’t hooked before you will be reading this one. It brings you even further into the story of Seth and Laura and has you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what is going to happen. I could not put the book down reading this part of the story. I had to know what was going to happen
Years later, Seth has followed Laura and keeps tabs on her. He begins working for the Cross Brothers and works his way up in their organization. A chance meeting has brought them back together, but are the wounds too deep from Laura leaving Seth 8 years ago? Laura has tried to move on, but no one has ever compared. Seth has many secrets and they may prove to be too much. This book also lends in a cliffhanger.
Seth:
A girl at the bar one night talked about star-crossed lovers and ever since she rattled on about it, I wondered if that’s what we were meant to be. Because every time I’m around her, it hurts and I know it hurts her too.
This book is edgy, and sexy and all the things a good dark romance book should be. I really enjoyed it!
Desperate to Touch by Willow Winters is a romantic suspense that I listened to on audio narrated by Samantha Cook and Joe Arden.
Willow does an amazing job pulling you into the story. I absolutely love the chemistry between Seth and Laura and each book in this series gets better and better. The book does end on a cliffhanger but that was not a surprise since its part of a series. I cannot wait to dive into the next book in the series Tempted to Kiss.
Joe and Samantha did an amazing job on the narration. They really brought the story to life.
I would recommend this book if you love romantic suspense.
Wow! The ending of this had me begging to know what happens next. Cliff hanger much!! I love how these books interact with other characters and clear certain things up as it goes along. for example with Officer Walsh and Delilah. The series really has me questioning everything.
Loving this series. It is everything.
“It’s like falling down a spiral where nothing else matters; I can’t even see anything but her when she’s in front me. But I know I’m falling. Some falls you don’t recover from.”
What happens years later when Seth King and Laura are finally put in the same room together? Spice. You get spice. And fireworks. And possession. And love. And lust. And pure fire.
In the second book of the Hard to Love series, we find out what happens to Laura’s dad. We find out the hard reality that both Seth and Laura have had to face.
– One thing I’m so curious about Is all the side characters; Laura’s patients. I hope we see more of them.
And agent Cody Walsh! Gah!! Come on, he needs his own book!
This book ends in a serious cliffie. Like, an epic cliffhanger..
Book Two in Seth and Laura’s story did not disappoint. I love how dominating Seth is. Laura wasn’t my favorite character, but she grew on me with this story. The mystery surrounding Marcus continues in this book. There are hot scenes and plenty of action. The ending will blow you away and having you begging for the next book!
After finding one another the love they once shared that really never left is still hard to fight. Seth is determined to have her at his side no matter the consequences. Bringing her back into his world is that last thing he wanted but living with out her is unacceptable.
Laura, fights for control and knows that what she did to the only man she loves has consequences. She desperately wants to have him with her but is afraid of the cost.
Love is a dangerous thing for Laura and Seth, fighting for what they want may cost them more tha. They thought.
This is the second book in the series and it was more exciting than the first.
“I’ve fallen for this man once. If I do it again, I’ll cross the point of no return. I’m sure of it.”
“I’ve heard there’s a thin line between love and hate, but damn, I never knew how true those words were.”
Desperate to Touch is book two and continues where it left off from book one. What I loved about this latest installment is the angst and chemistry between Seth and Laura is still the same. Or should I say, more. You could feel their emotions leaping off the pages- the yearning, overwhelming passion and love they have for each other. I think I was going to die from the feels while reading this book.
Aside from that, the story got more intense with an imminent danger surrounding them. A mystery man, whether a friend or a foe, is taking a huge role in this story. With that crazy cliffhanger, I can’t wait to read book 3, gah!
Who are Jace, Declan, Connor, Carter, Bethany, Walsh, and Marcus? Who are Delila, EJ, and Melanie? Who is the mystery guy that shows up at Laura’s work? What does Fletcher or her father have anything to do with what is happening? Who sends Laura flowers? What happened to EJ? What do we learn about her? What do we learn about Marcus and Walsh in this book? Oh snap, does this book end with one heck of a cliff hanger!
RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin’ With M. Brennan.
Holy cow! Willow Winters delivers another story that is an action-packed, gut-wrenching, roller coaster ride, full of twists and turns. This is Book #2 in the Hard to Love Series. It picks up where Book #1 left off. You do need to read the first book in order to understand what is happening in this book.
In this book, we are in the present. We get to see how Seth & Laura’s love story changes & how the characters develop together as well as individually. I love the push and pull. There are secrets from the past and present that come to light. It is intense, emotional, and full of steam. The chemistry between Seth and Laura is intense, undeniable, sizzling, and palpable.
This story is well-written and perfectly paced. It is gripping and exciting. I wondered how Willow could possibly outdo herself after the first book. How wrong I was, and I don’t mind admitting it! I highly recommend reading it! It does end in a cliffhanger, so hang onto your seats and get ready for Book #3! I know I am!
