From USA Today bestselling author W Winters comes an emotionally-gripping, romantic suspense.I fell for someone I shouldn’t have. I’m not the only person to ever do such a thing. I know that. And I’m not an awful person for desiring his touch, his kiss, his everything… but I knew I shouldn’t have indulged. There’s something about knowing it’s wrong that tempts me that much more. The seduction … much more. The seduction became a game with higher stakes than any before him. In fact, it was only ever him.
The thing is, I knew I shouldn’t. Now that the game is over and the pieces have fallen… I know I should have just walked away.
There’s no way out of the wreckage.
That doesn’t change the fact, that I wanted him more than anything. I still want him more than anything.
Tempted to Kiss is book 3 in a series. Hard to Love (book 1) and Desperate to Touch (book 2) must be read first.

This kiss was all consuming! 5 stars
Wow, this book was an intense ride from the beginning, and it never let up. My heart hurt for Laura, because she was at her lowest which broke her and me. She did things I was not expecting her to do. Seth was as determined as ever, and I loved him for it. But Seth is broken too, and he wants to be a better man for Laura. They need each other, and their path of love has not been easy. This book was all consuming for me, and there were many shocking twists that kept me gasping. This book is Willow Winters at her best, and I can’t wait to read how Seth and Laura’s story concludes in the next book.
I received a copy of this ebook from the author for my honest review.
This is the 3rd book in Seth and Laura’s story and I do recommend reading them in order. To know these characters, you really need to read for yourself what they have endured together. Laura and Seth’s story are not an easy one, yes, the love they share is intense, but is it enough? This book does end on a major cliff hanger, the story is full of drama, suspense and action. These characters are amazing and really draw you into their world. I loved it!
We are once again looking into the world of Seth and Laura. The book has everything from drama, suspense, and mystery. Marcus is still at the forefront pulling the strings. Laura finds out important information and spends a lot of time contemplating what to do. Seth, Carter, Jase, and Declan are still trying to unravel the mystery of Marcus and what he wants. Book three ends with the wildest cliffhanger yet. I cannot wait to find out what happens!!!
This story is the third book of Seth & Laura. I love their story. They have been through he’ll and back. Many, many ups and downs. They were in love when they were young, split up and found their way back to each other. They endure many obstacles but will their love for each other win in the end? I can’t wait for the next book in this series. Each book has you on the edge of your seat holding your chest, wanting more. Willow never, never disappoints. I recommend ALL of her books, you will be hooked
Seth and Laura’s story continues from Desperate to Touch. We find out what happens to each of them and they find each other again only to find themselves in bigger predicaments. One with life and death and the other with death. Who knows what will happen next. I’m beginning to believe that Willow is an evil mastermind. Always giving us just enough to keep us wanting more and then giving us an ending like that! I cannot wait until March when we finally get to read thier conclusion!!
This series is brilliant, W. Winters has done an amazing job with these books, but Seth and Laura’s story is phenomenal. All the twist and turns this story where great. All the steamy and emotional rollercoaster took a higher level on this book and so it ended in a bang, now I need the next book now! You want epic, you need to start reading the whole series now!
I knew going in to this book that it was going to end with a cliffhanger because the fourth book had already been announced, but talk about now being on tenterhooks! If Easy to Love wasn’t already on my list of anticipated reads, I would have added it immediately after reading Tempted to Kiss. W. Winters had twists and turns and then some, and now, I need answers badly. I want to know how that last tidbit at the end of this book is going to affect Seth King and Laura Roth. After everything these two had already been through, they deserve a happily-ever-after, but you know what they say about things that are worth it being the ones you have to fight for the most and work the hardest for. Winters has given her readers what they deserve: a story and characters that inspire you to become emotionally invested and that’s exactly what I am. Five-plus stars for Tempted to Kiss. Cue the countdown!
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 an intense, 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…
I voluntarily submitted an ARC review for this book.
Oh my gosh, Willow Winters has done it again! Seth and Laura’s story is so powerful…strong, sexy, passionate…left me wanting more! Great job Ms. Winters, you never cease to amaze me with your vivid imagination. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
” Our love story isn’t a straight line. It’s chaotic scribbles on a page”
This is my favourite quote from Tempted to Kiss (TTK)and I think it describes Seth and Laura’s relationship in this novel perfectly. TTK is book 3 in the Hard to Love series and is my favourite of the three so far. It carries on seamlessly from the cliffhanger of Desperate to Touch and hits the ground running. Seth and Laura are trying to navigate their relationship as it becomes more amalgamated with the dark world they reside within. I found that both Seth and Laura change and grow so much in this novel, Seth is finally seeing the reality of what his feelings for Laura are doing to her. Laura is becoming a different woman, not a woman who is trying to stay in the light but one who has buried herself among the poison ivy and nestled into the roots of the Cross Brother world.
Willow’s writing throughout is fantastic as always. I love the depth she instils in her characters and Tempted to Kiss in particular showcases how the characters development becomes the natural order of things. I devoured this book and could not put it down, I was thoroughly invested in the plot and I was always curious to read more and find out how Seth and Laura are going to tackle the next predicament thrown their way. I will warn you now Willow throws some bombshells our way in this book and OMG I did not see them coming. I was completely thrown for a loop, what happened wasn’t what I was expecting to happen and I just had no words when I finished the book. I am eagerly anticipating the final book in the series Easy to Fall coming in 2020, because I need all the answers!
Willow never disappoints. Laura’s story broke my heart It’s hard to trust your life with another person, counting on their love to help you through whatever you are facing. The love Seth has for Laura knows no bounds and Laura begins to realize this. Part of me wanted to yell at her and the other part wanted me to cry for her. Willow is an extraordinary writer who is able to bring her characters to life and tells their stories in a way that affects all her readers.
Tempted to Kiss will tug at your heart and yet leave you wanting – for the rest of Seth and Laura’s story.
Holy cow, mind blown!!!!
This is the third book in the Hard to Love series, please be sure to read Longing to Hold, Hard to Love and Desperate to Touch (which is the prequel, book one and book two) before reading this book.
This series is a huge roller coaster ride of emotions with twists and turns you’ll never see coming. Seth and Laura have been through a lot and apparently things are not getting any easier. Laura is keeping secrets and Seth is at his wits end trying to make sure she doesn’t leave him again. This book is the continuation of one heck of a ride and ends on a huge OMG cliffhanger. Seth and Laura’s story will conclude in Easy to Fall, which is the fourth and final book in the Hard to Love series. I am loving this twisted roller coaster ride and looking forward to reading the rest of Seth and Laura’s story. Definitely a must read series for all the romance lovers out there!!!
Wow another great emotional roller coater of a book!! what a great Series!!!! You will be hooked from the first page, I recommend as a must read!!! Find time to read this series you will not be disappointed!! Cant wait for the next book. Great job Willow
Oh. My. Freaking. Gosh. I went into this prepared and thinking I would be okay. That did not happen. I was absolutely and totally knocked on my arse and proven utterly wrong. If you think you are ready, you are not. This is Seth and Laura’s continuation and it will rip you apart. There are so many twists that will make your heart stop. I wanted to cry, yell and throw my kindle. There is suspense, angst, secrets, lies, heartache, heart wrenching emotions and twists that will blow your mind. I had to take a few days before writing this and I am still having side effects. Just when you think, “okay, I got this,” another twist is thrown at you. You are left stunned and thinking, “I did NOT see that coming!” This deserves more than five stars and is the best Willow book to date. I am absolutely taken in by Seth. Easy to Fall cannot come fast enough. Hold on to your seats, it’s going to be a bumpy and emotional ride.
“Her eyes light up, her lips turn up, everything goes up and everything is better when I call her babygirl.”
My favorite quote and it sums up Seth and Laura’ relationship perfectly:
““I’ve always loved him and even though…” I trail off because I don’t even know where to start. Our love story isn’t a straight line, it’s chaotic scribbles on a page. It’s f***ed up. “I need him right now. Why would you question that?””
I just started to read Willow Winters about a year ago now and I’ll tell you, with every book I fall deeper in love! The stories that she crafts are works of art!
Tempted to Kiss is full of plot twists I never saw coming and emotions that are truly leaving me on the edge of my seat just waiting for their story to conclude in a way I know only WW can do!
Seth and Laura’s relationship had so many layers and with the way TKT ended…oh, boy is there about to be so many more layers! I cannot wait for the last book in the series to see just where Seth and Laura take us next!
Laura and Seth’s jaw dropping, emotional roller coaster story continues in Tempted to Kiss which is book 3 in the series. It was an amazing, well-written, suspenseful romance w/many twists and turns. Couldn’t put it down. Ends in a hell of cliffhanger – can’t wait for next book.
This series is amazing. Seth and Laura’s story has so many twists and turns that are out of the blue, it makes for a fabulous read! Just when you think you know what’s going to happen, you’re hit out of nowhere with something else. It’s gripping and emotional. Willow Winters writing is fantastic. I can’t wait to read the last book in this series and then see what’s next from this author!!
This book is not a standalone and picks up exactly where the prior one left off. You must read the other books that chronicle Seth and Laura’s relationship. And ideally, read the others prior in the Cross Family saga to feel the full force of this story, world, and complex storyline and relationships that affect every character and plot point in this book.
As usual, the author takes you through a series of emotional highs and lows. And this book is no different, ending with a shocking cliffy that will leave you wanting to throw your eReader across the room. In this series installment, there’s more emotion than passion/heat. You feel how deep Seth’s devotion for Laura is, and how he is slowly unraveling at the thought of possibly losing her. And you also see the sacrifice Laura is willing to make for that same deep rooted love.
The cliffhanger was upsetting. I felt it came out of nowhere and I’m wondering how the heck the author is going to spin in. But I’ve read enough of her stories to know that she will. Despite my gripes about the ending, this is a great story and rock-solid romantic suspense series worthy of a read.
/I received an early edition of this book. This did not affect my opinion of the story or content of my review./
WhatInTheActualF*%#?!
I’m going to try to formulate the proper words without tossing in an extra foul word or two because she did it again y’all!
This book is the ultimate turning point. The things that transpired from book two to three are mind boggling and slightly life altering. This story will put you through the gamut of all emotions. While Seth has been our focus for the first two books, Laura shines in this one.
I gasped, laughed and shed a tear a few times throughout. I whisper shouted at my phone while reading at work and dropped the f-bomb more often than not.
When I tell you that you aren’t ready for this book, let alone the cliffhanger at the end…gah! Be prepared to shit your pants at the twists, turns and secrets to come.
I don’t know how I’m going to function knowing that book four is not coming like, tomorrow because baaaaaaby! Willow knows how to write a story that will destroy your whole life!
