From USA Today bestselling author Willow Winters comes the prelude to the heart-wrenching, edge-of-your-seat gripping, romantic suspense Hard to Love.There’s a moment when I forget he’s not mine. This small spell of time, when I let my thoughts carry me away. He holds me. He kisses me. He makes all of this better. That moment when I’m his and everything is all right, is gone in an instant. It’s … all right, is gone in an instant. It’s quick and fleeting, moving so fast that it slips through my grasp. If I could catch it, I’d hold on to it forever.
I always thought this thing between us would only ever be just that. A passing moment, a pleasant dream that helped lull me to sleep at night.
If I’d known what was to come, maybe I would have thought twice.
I couldn’t have prepared for this.
Longing to Hold is a short prelude to the Hard to Love series.

Sigh…this is the beginning to Seth & Laura’s love story and it touches your heart even more to their story. If you haven’t read their story you need to, but grab this one 1st then prepare yourself, because Willow will make you have all the feel’s. Loved their story so much
Too short, but intense
This Is a prelude to the series so you get a little background to how Seth and Laura got together. Laura is mourning her father and Seth is there for her whether she wants it or not. It’s definitely a teaser but it’s too short for me even if you can already see an intensity in their relationship.
Longing to Hold – W Winters – Laura’s father dies, and she doesn’t handle the shock of being orphaned well. Walking her home from school every day is a deliberate choice on Seth’s part. He knows more about her father’s death than he is willing to tell Laura, but he has a plan to anchor her to his side. And the tension between compelling and sinister in this prelude is why I keep reading W Winter’s books! Happy Reading!
This book is edgy, and sexy and all the things a good dark romance book should be. I really enjoyed it!
Longing To Hold by Willow Winters is a prelude to Hard To Love series that I listened to on audio narrated by Joe Arden and Samantha Cook.
This is the first book of Willow’s that I have read and so far loving the story between Laura and Seth. I cannot wait to dive into the first book in the series Hard To Love to get their story.
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.
Lust Overload
I love all the build up and lust. Definitely need more. Perfectly written. I will be diving into hard to love, right now!!
Who are Laura, Seth, and Derrick? How do they know one another? I fully empathize with Laura’s pain. What happened that changed her life? How did seth change? What secret is being kept, by whom, and what falout could happen if it comes to light? Read and see!
This is a prelude to Hard to Love, so technically you don’t have to read it before Hard to Love but you can always read it before. Seth and Laura were amazing with each other. I loved how Willow was able to bring sort of broken characters and how their emotions are depicted. Definitely worth more than 5*****
This book really sets the scene on what’s to come in the Hard to Love series. It was short but so full of longing that I can’t wait to read what happens next!
„Longing to Hold” is a prequel to the „Hard to Love” series. This book is short, but it explain the beginnings between Seth King and Laura Roth.
I read this after „Desperate to Touch” because I was curious how the heroes have met. Willow Winters knows how to write early story of heroes.
This short book gives us a better view about they first met. Also the heroes are different than in”Hard to Love”. We can see how Laura reacted to Seth interest in her and how Seth fight for his „Babygirl”.
„Longing to Hold” is a short story with so many emotions! I am totally in love with this little spark between heroes which starts their love. This book is a fantastic prequel to their story and of course it is a must read! And when You end this story, take the first book in series – „Hard to Love”. You won’t be disappointed.
Longing to Hold is a quick prelude to Hard to Love. I liked reading the beginning of Seth and Laura’s love story. These two have become my favorite couple.
“Longing To Hold” is the birth of Laura and Seth’s romantic tale. They are young and still in high school. Craving Laura more each day has him in a tailspin. When Laura is around Seth her heart beats faster; heated desires for him grow with each passing day. Flirtatious innuendos, engaging dialogue, fabulous character interaction, and vivid scene descriptions have me yearning to learn what happens next in their lives.
Fantastic creative and enjoyable read that I relished to the end.
What a way to get you to want to read Laura and Seth’s story. I was so engrossed in it I was sad to get to the end only to realize I could read Hard to Love. This is short but you can sense the mystery and suspense already and this undeniable pull between Seth and Laura. I can feel that their relationship is going to be filled with so much angst and intensity but it’s going to be Epic
This is a fantastic book to pull you into a series. The story is well written and keeps you guessing. The characters are amazing and the suspense and mystery of the story makes it a book you can’t put down. This short read does leave you hanging so you will need the first book of the series Hard to Love ready to read.
Loved getting the back story on Seth and Laura. I absolutely love these two. It was nice to see into both of their heads and what they thought of each other back then and how Seth felt responsible for Laura even at a young age.
To understand the story of Seth and Laura, Willow Winters gives us a first glimpse and how it all began.
Also in this trailer you can see that their story is not easy. See how their raw story develops into an amazing story full of secrets and anger yet there is a huge love.
Willow does so with so much emotion that you fall in love with them the first moment.
This book is a beautiful introduction to what has become my favorite couple. You get to know Seth and Laura in a more beautiful way and see how they came to be. In typical Willow fashion, she leaves you speechless with her words. Definitely one to dive into to understand the backstory that has lead to the chaos and love that we get later in the series.
Don’t sleep on this one!
I loved this glimpse into the past and how it all started. It shows how it all came to pass.
Its important to know this is a prelude to Hard to Love and just a couple of chapters. It is a glimpse into the very beginning of Seth and Laura and a peak at why I love them so much. Its hard not to fall in love with them and it is also interesting and even telling to see how they are with each other right from the start. I really enjoyed seeing them as teens before they get together because who and how they are is so clearly ingrained deep within them.
This prequel was good from beginning to end and it gave you an insight about Laura and Seth’s relationship. The beginning of what promises to be a beautiful relationship between Seth and Laura. Loved it.
