That’s how I’d describe what happened to us.Everything around me … us.
Everything around me blurred and all that existed were his lips, his touch…
The chase and the heat between us became addictive.
Our nights together were a distraction; one we craved to the point of letting the world crumble around us.

THIS LOVE HURTS By W. Winters
Oh man, this book is soooo good! I love this story! This read has everything suspense, intrigue, mystery, drama, heat, and angst. I am so intrigued with Marcus and Delilah. Marcus is a ghost, he gets in and disappears without anyone seeing him come and go. Delilah the attorney, may just be his Achilles heel. I cannot wait to see what Willow is going to do this series. I am looking forward to watching this play out. This is most definitely a 5 star read!
The man shrouded in mystery always staying in the shadows but seems to be the one pulling all the strings. This book is the insight we have been waiting for through the Cross brothers books. Marcus. Just his name brings people to their knees. Everyone fears him, but no one knows who he actually is. This Love Hurts gives you the glimpse you have been waiting for. Marcus is certainly more of a mystery and complicated beyond all thoughts. He is the man you don’t want to cross, but could he be a man you could fall for?
I had to take some time after I finished reading this to decide where I landed on it. Not the rating, that was secure basically from the little prequel novella, but just how hard to gush about this.
If you know anything about the Merciless world, you’ll have heard the name Marcus. But you don’t know diddly about him. Do you get those questions answered in This Love Hurts? Not really, but you get a peek behind the curtain. And that was more than enough to keep me on the edge of my seat and panting for more. But I’ve found in this world, where this character is concerned, you’ll always want that.
I was given an advance copy of on behalf of the author and their team and I volunteered to leave an unbiased review.
OH MY GOD! This book reads like a thriller. From the first page it is fascinating, captivating and breathtaking. Another one of those books where you can’t turn the pages fast enough to learn more … only to end up even more confused …
Marcus and his story become more mysterious with each chapter. And he becomes likeable and caring???
He seems to be a monster in the dark, but also a red-blooded man with a heart … so effing contradictory!
Reading this book and trying to understand the man hiding in the shadows is like trying to catch lightning in a bottle or trying to get hold of fog … arghh!
I . NEED . MORE!!!
Marcus makes himself known
This books starts off with the prequel, Do You Want Me? and I’ve included my review for it as this is Where it all started
An intriguing start to Marcus and Delilah. Could’ve never seen this as where it all started but now it’s starting to make an odd amount of sense I’m dying to know more about who Marcus is but I will say there is A hint in this prequel to start you off fitting those puzzle pieces together
Delilah is a kickass and take no prisoners lawyer who gets involved with Cody, an FBI Agent. When they get involved with no strings attached, Marcus makes his move and Delilah knows Cody knows more about Marcus than he’s letting on….call it a gut feeling
I received an advanced copy and I voluntarily leave my honest review and eagerly anticipate more of Marcus and Delilah
With spine tingling heat and mystery, this deliciously dark romance is everything W. Winters fans have been waiting for! Deliah, Cody and Marcus burn up the pages and leave me breathless for more! Cannot wait for the next book! Five stars for this must read!
W Winters is weaving yet another dark tale. This one is about Delilah (a lawyer), Cody (an FBI agent), and Marcus (a killer). Lies have been told. Lines have been crossed. Who is good and who is bad?
What does a lawyer, an FBI agent, and a serial killer have in common? I’m not sure yet, because This Love Hurts ends in a cliffhanger, but I’ve got a theory. Actually, I’ve got several theories but, with the amazing writing style of W Winters…I will probably never see what’s coming until the very end. I can’t wait for the next book!
This book/series is like entering a funhouse. You’re going to love it but it will keep you guessing! You know very well not to trust your senses as the story unfolds. You suspect that things are not as they appear and wonder exactly who can be trusted. So many twists and questions to keep you off balance and on the edge of your seat. Delilah, Marcus and Cody are complex and complicated characters that are involved in a gritty game that is packed with suspense, emotion, drama, mystery, secrets and darkness. You best strap in, This is going to be one tension filled thrill ride! I am posting a candid review of my own accord.
Willow is so amazing with her writing. I can’t get enough of her books because they suck you in and hold you captive until the end. Suspense, action packed, wonderful characters, amazing read.
Remember the roller coaster you went on that scared you to death but you never wanted to get off of it? This is that story! Between the push and pull between Delilah and Cody and the creepy but yet intriguing snippets of Marcus this book had me in awe form the opening chapters. Once again Willow Winters takes her readers on a heart stopping ride that no matter which turn it takes we are just holding on to the railing with all the strength we can muster. She is an epic storyteller and her endings will leave you breathless. I need to know where she is taking these characters – NOW!!
Boy this author really knows how to draw you into
the plot right from the very first page and keep your attention.
Marcus is a real enigma with mystery to him.
Delilah is a lawyer.
There’s plenty of action drama that had me on the edge of the
seat.
I was absolutely blown away with the plot and looking forward
to the next book.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
Ok, if you’ve been on this journey since the beginning you’ve wondered about Marcus and his story. This is it. We finally have it. You don’t need to read previous books to read this but it’s always better to know the whole of it in my opinion.
We first hear of Marcus in Daniel’s story, then on to Carter where we’re introduced to Cody Walsh, to Jase and Bethany where we learn of Delilah, finally to Seth. Now we get the whole back story of Marcus, Cody and Delilah. And let me tell you, it’s intense. These three take you on a ride.
The secrets, lies and half truths between them are extensive and an ever growing minefield. You think you know, but you really don’t. You won’t regret learning it though. After all, this is Marcus………
Wow! Talk about starting this series with a bang. There’s so much happening with Delilah, Cody and Marcus. Secrets and lies, want and need.
When two men want the same woman and both want to protect her for differe
nt reasons, which one do you trust? Cody who has been there for you or the man who lurks in the shadows, watching and listening.
Delilah hasn’t been truthful with Cody and she’s keeping pertinent information from him, but why? She has a gut feeling that Cody knows more about Marcus than he’s leading on. Delilah and Cody aren’t sure what they mean to each other, but both know there’s something there, but will the entrance of Marcus and his manipulative ways drive a wedge between Cody and Delilah? Amazing read, can’t wait for what’s next. I received a copy of this book.
OMG! Mind blowing! Epic! My most anticipated read in forever! Marcus, Marcus, Marcus!
Once again, I was captivated from the start by This Love Hurts. It grabbed me right from the start and wouldn’t let go. It was amazing! I loved it.
Marcus is still lurking in the shadows but soon we will know more. Delilah knows someone is following her. As a prosecutor she meets a lot of unsavory people. However, one case might just lead her in some trouble of her own. Someone is threatening her but who? Marcus is a powerful man, a murderer, a ghost, but no one truly knows the real man. When he sets his sights on Delilah there is no where she can turn. What does he really want from her? Is he a friend or foe? A great beginning to this dark suspense trilogy. I can’t wait to find out about Marcus as this is more from Deliah’s POV along with officer Cody’s POV. You will know of Cody and Marcus from prior books but this can be read as a new standalone series. We’re finally going to get to meet Marcus and I couldn’t be happier to see what happens.
