An epic and addictive roller coaster ride of a romance that’s unforgettably heart-wrenching and jaw-dropping, brought to you by Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best Selling Author, Willow Winters. Our love story isn’t a tragedy but it sure as hell started out like one.I grew up in the life, and learned to hate everything in this town. Everything but her. She was my constant through it all.Just … her. She was my constant through it all.
Just a look would tempt and torment.
Just a touch would singe and soothe.
I only survived because she was by my side.
I feared the danger would bleed into what we had.
After all, she was too good for this world. But I was too far gone to push her away.
I was Laura’s downfall.
Problem was, she was mine too.
Hard to Love is book 1 of the Hard to Love, romantic suspense, series.

A BRAND NEW, highly emotional, gripping romantic suspense from Willow Winters is LIVE!
Hard to Love is an intense, passionate, page-turning read that is full of suspense. It follows Laura and Seth’s relationship as it grows from friendship to much more amidst the cruel, violent and gritty backdrop of mafia life.
The life that brought them together may just tear them apart.
Is Laura strong enough to stand by Seth’s side? Does she want to? Can Seth protect Laura from the life he leads? Can he ever let her go?
“I want her, and I’m going to have her.” – Seth
The first chapters in this novel hold a prelude to Hard to Love that is entitled Longing to Hold. This prelude holds a teaser of the worst kind for the main event. It had me all but salivating for more and, thank goodness, I was able to continue on from there.
The mounting passion and tension between Laura and Seth are undeniable and kept me wanting more. I probably wanted their first kiss more than they did!
Seth is dirty-mouthed and sexy as hell. He is dominant in the extreme but this author also gives us small little glimpses of his softer side. Well done! Oh! And I can’t forget! When Seth says, “Wait for me, Babygirl.”, for the first time, I swear I could hear him and his words gave me chills up my arm and tied my belly in knots. So sexy!
Laura’s character was a little more complex. I had a hard time pinning down exactly what her personality was. In the beginning, she comes off as being a loner, however, not by choice. Throughout the book, however, she continues to be somewhat alone. Her only friendships that of Cami and Seth’s friends.
Also, at some points, she seemed almost innocent, while other times she could be so badass! I have a feeling her character has got a lot of growing and soul-searching to do. I cannot wait to see her transformation as their story continues to unfold.
The story alternated between present and past tense and sometimes, for me, it was a little choppy. I feel like it was little too much bouncing to and from.
That aside, this was a thrilling read. Desperate to Touch is the next book in the series and I am utterly desperate to read it.
I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Willow Winters never disappoints! If you love steamy, romantic, must-have love stories, check this scorcher out!

I really tried to love this but it dragged for me. I ended up not finishing it.
Ok! I’m hooked
A gripping and tragic back story of Seth and Laura ,how their younger years ruined their love and broke seths heart and turned it black .
Can’t wait to start desperate to touch !
where to start? Its love but what kind. Dependent, twisted, or true? Found myself angry, sad, exasperated and glad this wasn’t my life yet rooted for the characters. The only reason for 4 stars is that you need to read the rest of the books to find out what happens.
Willow Winter is one of my favorite author!
Didn’t love this book to start with but the characters are growing on me. By the end of the book, I was hooked and can’t wait for the next book.
This is the first book that I brought from this author. The first book that sat down and read from beginning to end. I fell in love with Ms. Winters writing with this book. It is included in the set Not My Heart to Break. What a breath taking series. The first one is about learning to get to know the main characters. Laura and Seth two amazing characters that you cant get enough of. Their story is quite the story to tell. Hold on because you are going on quite the ride with these two. Romance, suspense, intrigue, love and heart break. Ever bit is in the pages of this one. Every page turning moment you fell in love with Laura and Seth and want only happiness for these two. But is that what these two are going to get? Hold on because this first book is only the beginning.
Laura is still dealing with the death of her father and Seth is there to help her. Seth is trying to raise up in the hierarchy to run the streets. Laura and Seth have many differences but they still love each other if they could only see that. They try to build a relationship but something happens and Laura runs leaving only a note to explain why.
