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.

In the beginning…there was Seth and Laura! From their youthful moments, we see how they are already written in the stars. Young Seth is not so different. He still knows how to go after what he wants. The anticipation of love’s first sweet kiss, oh my stars! I love this and I know there is more heartache and heartwarming to come!
Laura and Seth. Omg. I have loved them with this series, but this prologue gives you insight into the angst and emotion that their story holds and how it started. It truly lets you see why each character is the way they are, and a glimpse into their relationship. Willow winters completely outdoes herself with her books. Also, when she throws a free book in, I’m always snatch it up!!
A riveting story that tells how they meet and the feelings behind them. The obsession started very early for these two. The sweet moments, the glances, the almost moments – they all add up to what Laura and Seth were before.
Hard to Love follows this book and their story only gets better and steamier the more you read!! A definite must read by Willow Winters!!!

This is a wonderful quick introduction to Seth and Laura’s story. Seth has decided he wants Laura to be his and he will do whatever it takes to make that happen. Then grab Hard to Love which is the beginning of their story.
This book has made it as one of my favorites by Willow Winters. It’s impossible to not be wrapped up immediately in this series. Once the story begins to unfold, it’s fast and keeps your wanting to know more.
This is a gripping and enthralling love story, with a lot of twists and turns that you can’t begin to imagine. It’s full of unconditional love based on a past shared experience, one that has broken their hearts and souls but that themselves can mend, and subsequently heal each other.
A must read. Pick up your copy today…

Yearning to Touch…
Longing to Hold gives us a delicious peek into the exquisite beginning of Seth and Laura’s relationship. This is the prequel to Hard to Love. It is short but is full of emotions that the two of them share together when they first meet. I have a much better understanding and insight at how deep their passion is for one another. Thank you Willow Winters for sharing their early story with your readers.
The title is program…. in this prequel everything revolves around longing…..
Seth and Laura yearn to become a couple. The chemistry between them is off the charts, the anticipation of their first kiss builds up painfully slowly….
I loved the young Seth and his dominant but caring way for Laura … he is simply irresistible!
And I loved Laura and her sass.
A real appetizer for this amazing series!
The perfect tease to a sex-filled and oh so delicious series. Seth King will have any woman begging at her knees. Longing to hold is the perfect addition in which we get the beginning of Seth and Laura’s story and watch these puzzle pieces fall into place.
This is the prelude to the Hard To Love series and is by far my favorite love story of Willow’s creations.
I love this book and reading the the start of Seth and Laura story.. I a quick read which I was not able to put it down. Reading this made me love their story even more..
How it all began…
Everything has a beginning and an end….this is the beginning of Seth and Laura’s story Definitely would read this before starting the Hard to love series but even now after I’ve read the first two books in their story I knew what it was about….but if you haven’t started them yet, then this is a great place to start
I received an advanced copy and I willingly leave my honest review
I loved this book. I loved getting to see how the characters started off and what makes them into what they are now in their book. There is plenty of intrigue, secrets, heat and more! If I wasn’t already hooked on this author and books I would be after reading this one! A must have book! So well written! Complex characters and storyline. Never a dull moment. I am voluntarily leaving my review
I loved this glimpse to the past of Willow’s beloved couple Seth and Laura. Longing to Hold gives a bird’s eye view of how it all began; how they were drawn to each other from the very beginning.
Our fingers brush one another when she does. Electricity strikes me, coursing through my arm and then down my body. It’s hot and the heat lingers long after she’s sulked back to sofa, sitting on the armrest with her arms crossed against her chest. I want to feel that all the time. The way she makes me feel with such a simple touch.
This short prelude to Hard to Love introduces us to a shy and timid Laura who has her curiosity piqued when Seth pays an interest in her and decides she is now under his protection. He may hide his reasons and motives but the secrets are still hidden and the intrigue begins as Seth battles against his attraction for the recently orphaned girl and his common sense.
“Whatever gave you the idea that I’m a gentleman… I take it back. You should know I’m practically a savage.” My joke is rewarded with a sweet laugh and a complementary blush coloring her cheeks. Laura rests the pool cue against the table so she can take another sip of beer before telling me, “I may have picked up on the savage part.”
Had I not already read Hard to Love, Longing to Hold would have me diving in. These two are magic together and have an amazing story.
Longing to hold is a short and sweet prequel to the Hard to Love series. It gives a little insight to Seth and Laura’s relationship a few weeks after their worlds collide, when they are both young adults.
This quick read novella is in dual POV and you can feel already how Seth is a man who goes after what he wants consequences be damned – a quality that hasn’t changed over the years to the man he is now. Both characters are equally smitten with one another and I liked the insight it gave me before all the darkness clouds their world.
