Merciless

Great read

Once I picked this book up, I could not put it down. Carter was demanding and unyielding, though oddly gentle with Aria, even when he was being demanding and unyielding. Aria seemed at war with herself most of the book, owning the parts of herself that enjoyed their relationship versus the need to be free of it. I enjoyed reading this novel and I cannot wait to discover what other adventures are in-store for the pair.

I’m not sure why I downloaded this book, as I do not go for mob “romance”, but it was on my Kindle so I started reading it and then couldn’t put it down. There is no romance here. A mob war is commencing and Aria Talvery the daughter of one of the families gets kidnapped as an offering to Carter Cross, who has been obsessed with her for years. He is broken and needs to break her so she will be his, but he doesn’t realize that she has been broken since she witnessed the murder of her mother. He keeps her in a cell and slowly makes her into a pet, which is sick, but the author developed the characters and plot is such a skilled fashion that I found myself continuing from one chapter until the next until – TO BE CONTINUED.. I hate books with cliffhangers, which is why this book only gets 3 stars.

Wow! Even though the title spells is out for you, Merciless is a story that shocked me from the beginning to the end! I was on the edge of my seat, reading as fast as I could to find out what the hell happens. Bring on the next book! Great job, Willow!

I can’t even out into words how much I truly loved this book!! This series has by fat been my favorite so far. Willow Winters did an outstanding job and caught my attention from page one. If you have not snatched up this series, it’s an absolute must!!!!!

This book got me hooked.
I have to admit, that I regret putting off reading this book. Usually I am not a fan of mafia romance. I also don’t like dom/sub relationship.
But hell I was in the wrong.
This book is so much more than that. It is perfection. I really loved it. It is not at all what I expected. It surprised me and shocked me too. I love where this is going. I have to say that I am glad that I waited for the series to be complete. There is not a chance in hell, that I could wait for the release, because as soon as I will put a dot at the end of this review I will start with Heartless. I hate cliffhangers, but it doesn’t matter since I am prepared and I have a paperback at the ready.
You have to read this book. Carter is amazing and he treats her really well. Well, just like she deserves it. It is not your typical dom/sub relationship. But then, there is nothing typical about this book. Great book.

My own personal anticipation for Merciless has been endless since I first was introduced to Carter in Possessive a few months ago. His character called to me from the pages of his brother’s story, but I had no idea of the ride Winters was going to take me on once I started this book.

Aria is the daughter of one of the most violent crime family around, but she is nothing like her family. She is taken at a whim for the pleasure of a mad man in order to claim territory that he wants as his own. However, she believes that Carter is her salvation. She couldn’t have been more wrong.

Carter was a product of his circumstance. Never one to cower before his father, he took everything that man gave him. He was saved from certain death but the beautiful voice of an angel and he has been searching for her ever since. However, unlike most men he did not just want to worship her he wanted to poses her, control her to the point of absolute domination.

These two could not be more different, but they are exactly what each other needs in order to survive the trials ahead. However, even the best laid plans can be disrupted. Will Carter and Aria be able to escape the clutches of their circumstance?

This book is a dark and wild ride into the world of organized crime that goes on right under everyone’s noses. Its not the typical gangster novel, but it is still life and death for everyone involved. I was drawn in from the first word, and the everything around me ceased to exist until the very last word on the last page. Oh what a last word that was! Be warned it is a cliff hanger to end all cliff hangers, but the perfect ending for Carter and Aria. I personally cannot wait to read the remainder of their story in Heartless.

Highly recommend this series from my fav author hands down! I promise you will not be disappointed!!

hree family fighting over territory, in between there is always going to be casualties- hopefully she’ll find Mercy in the man that captured her
..Her name is Aria Talvery & she the daughter of the most violent crime family in Fallbrook.
.At times Carter is a man you love to hate. In the end he could be a man that you could easily love- Maybe

.. I loved Carter & Aria’s story. I was pleasantly surprised at how much push & pull happened between them. There was sadness & there was sweetness & it was lovely in its own crazy kinda way. I especially enjoyed when they had dinner in the dining room with the brother’s.
•I loved the book. It was addictive. I am looking forward to reading the next book (Heartless). Must say W Winters has that sense of leaving you wanting more without realize it
one way to find out how the story play out, is to “one click” this book & find out for yourself
Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion & my honest review

Paulette Review

This story captured my mind, twisted my emotions and broke my heart. From the beginning until the end, I felt as if I could not breathe but I could not stop reading it. Fighting for her life, Aria remains strong. At some point she will have to surrender to survive, or can she hold out? Carter has his reasons for wanting Aria, most stem from the past. It is never good when you continue to keep the past in the present, and this story is no different. Once you open this book, prepare for a journey of suspence and struggles. I loved every page of this book. I could not put it down and did not want to be interrupted while reading. I cannot wait to start the next book in the series!
