From USA Today bestselling author W Winters comes an emotionally captivating and thrilling, romantic suspense. 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 not what he needed. It’s not what I desired either. It’s so easy to get lost in the touch of a man who’s powerful and … 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.

This story seeps into your soul. How can one love and hate someone like Carter? It is said there is a thin line between love and hate. Someone as tortured as Aria can. Carter who doesn’t know he can love. They both know and understand want but Aria is afraid to love and Carter hasn’t recognized what love is. Both are in danger, danger of losing each other or worse even death. While one may feel this ended on a cliffhanger (and a big one), it is really just the end of a chapter and we are anxiously waiting for the next one.
Holy shit this book! Second book in the Merciless series. I have no words because it’s book 2 and I don’t want to spoil anything. Another evil cliffhanger in this one which I can only forgive Willow for because book 3 is on my ipod and ready for me to listen. You guys need to read/listen to this series.
Seriously how much talent can one author have? Willow’s talent for story telling seems never ending and Heartless is no exception! I knew I would be in for angst, hate, love, passion and every other feeling but OMG this book is beyond that! This story just keeps getting better and the feels so much stronger with every. Damn. Book. Read the whole series because this is one you don’t want to miss!
Carter and Aria’s story continues. Heartless was a great, well-written, dark emotional read w/twists and turns. Couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait for Breathless.
4.5 Stars
I haven’t read any of the author’s books until I signed up to promote this series. I never knew that I needed those books in my life; I’ve just discovered another favorite author!
This book seriously ruined me. After the first one, I needed to see how Carter and Aria’s relationship progresses. Through the book I finally understood in what lengths Carter is willing to go for Aria; even severed a man’s head for her! They are both broken. Even though Aria goes to Carter for comfort, he pushes her away when he’s not good. Her sexual attraction to him is off the charts; she can’t really resist him when he’s close but she can’t give herself entirely to him either.
Heartless lives up to its name. The book is intense, hot, sexy and suspenseful. Carter has so many enemies that you can’t suspect who is going to strike first. After that ending and the decision Aria made I seriously need Breathless now; September 4th can’t come fast enough!
Omg this book!!
Willow has just left me speechless once again with this book. This is the continuance saga of Carter and Aria and their give or take love for each other if only she would submit completely she would see he would give her everything if he hasn’t done so already even his own brothers have noticed the changes in him, but if he gives in he knows she’ll have power over him and he knows it’ll make him weak and war is coming and he can’t have that.
This book and these words had me so emotional you can feel just how much Aria is trying to hate Carter when she loves him and poor Carter I could feel the despair he felt when he was younger and forced into this life he now lives and the decisions he’s had to make.
This book was so good so damn good. I highly highly recommend this book.
This is my unbiased opinion and my review.
A real page turner! Can’t get enough of Carter. Loved this book. Can’t wait for more Carter!
Carter is slowly breaking Aria but he feels more than he should and do does she. But the war will happen and her family will be hurt or worse. When the time comes will Aria make the right choice? Great characters and storyline Highly recommended Amazing Book
He is the villain and she is the victim, enemies to lovers to tenuous trusted partner. He gave her vengeance and she gave him a reason to believe.
There are so many little knife pricks within their soft touches, raging confrontations and viscously dark love making that neither know they are bleeding until it is almost too late.
A little evasion, a small lie, an outright betrayal may finally kill all hope and wonder.
This series is not for the faint of heart but it is for those who know that love is not always soft and gentle. Sometimes it is dark, deviant and dangerous. Carter Cross is all three and Aria Taverly is learning from him.
Love the characters! Love the story line! Love the give and take in every scene. So dark and so good!
The back and forth of Carter’s emotions and desires will have your heart, damn near, beating out of your chest. There is something about Carter that Aria isn’t able to just throw away. But she knows that he has a reputation for a reason.
Heartless will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and holding your breath. It has the perfect balance of action and steamy scenes that will leave you breathless. I loved this book and it’s entire collection. Willow Winters did not come here to play, but rather left her everlasting stamp in the writing world.
I’m so addicted to this series. I can’t stop reading. Carter and Aria are just so intense. I can’t get enough of them. I love all the twist and darkness this series have. You can never guess what is going to happen page to page. Their chemistry is smoking hot and the suspense is holding me captive!
Still not sure about Carter and Aria as a couple, but they are going on me, especially Aria. She knows why he has the reputation of being heartless, but she is still drawn to him. Carter has wanted Aria since she saved him from her father that day, but is that enough of a reason to want to own somebody.
Can’t wait to move into the next book to see if Aria will grow more of a backbone and stand up more to Carter.
The second one in this series gets even more intense. Carter and Aria’s relationship gets even more intense. But Aria doesn’t know how to feel about Carter and his actions. She was taken prisoner because of the war going on between Carter and her family. But she doesn’t know what to expect from Carter.
This was page turning. I loved each and every minute between these two. Their feelings are written so very well that you can feel what each of them is feeling toward each other. I absolutely loved reading their story and the push and pull between them.
Aria and Carter are quite the couple. You can’t help but want more from these two. You cheer them on but at the same time you wonder if they should be together. Hold on because it just keeps getting better.
I read Merciless and could not come to terms why that book was rated so high. What I stated in that book review was “I’m not sure if this is a romance or a psychological- disturbing disorder between a prisoner and her capture. Stockholm syndrome perhaps.” I decided to dive into this one to see if it got better but it didn’t. It was all about manipulation, threats, and unbelievable scenes of a captor and captee having a weird sexual chemistry with so much hate. I did not like that at all. there was no compassion, nothing to relate to, and uncomfortable feelings of harshness that seems to keep Aria hanging onto any scraps Carter will throw her.
I hate to leave a bad review but this book was uncomfortable for me. It might be for someone else but just not for me.
This book is edgy, and suspenseful and all the things a good dark romance book should be. I really enjoyed it!
Oh holy hand grenade of Antioch!! (Monty Python reference there).
Amazing story. Again, this series is a bit darker than I normally read, but Carter is such a redeemable character. Arghhh!!
Willow, Willow, Willow… With all the cliffhangers!!
I went from Merciless and jumped straight into Heartless minutes later. Bingeing this series is the only way to do it right! Always emotional, forever sexy, and constantly keeping you on the edge of your seat. This book set up so much more behind each character and their emotional journeys and I loved every minute. Winters constantly keeps the pace going and I never felt bored within any section of the story.
My heart has continued to fall head over heels in love with Carter and his brooding ways. In Heartless he continues to discover just how much Aria means to him and what lengths he will go to in order to keep her happy and alive.
On to the next!
Carter and Aria’s erotic thrilling story continues in this book Two of Merciless series. Carter remains being the Beast who locked up Aria in his state and punishes her whenever she defies him.
As war continues, Aria’s feelings of hate and love toward Carter are battling inside her which causes her confusion. Their pasts dark experiences slowly uncover affecting their behaviors and emotions which affect the readers too.
wow!! I cant get enough of this series. I have smashed through it so fast and I just LOVE it so much!!!
Wow after that cliff hanger in book 1 this starts right where is left off. This book is full of some crazy twists and turns not to mention Carter and Arias crazy relationship the love hate is strong.
Carter needs to save his family but in doing so will destroy Arias family she can’t stand the thought of him killing all she holds dear.
Aria has no idea how terrible her father really is. He has yet to rescue her. She wants to fix things but she’s in to deep and can’t decide what side to choose love or family.
