Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.

In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!

This one was THICC.

I usually prefer to review book collections as a whole rather
than each individual book within the collection since it's set
in one book. I definitely really enjoyed this and it was surprisingly easy to get through even with the length.

All of the books flowed well together. They're all steamy and fun and contain some of my favorite tropes 😌. I also really liked that it contained two sets of duets I think that really helped me to keep reading through the length.

It definitely read surprisingly fast but maybe that was just because of the plentiful spice 💅🏻

thank you to hambright pr and the author for the gifted arc

Review of all books 4.5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

- You Are My Reason duet -
5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mason And Julia. I like the way everything started between them and went smooth. Even tho they both have opposite worlds (both not perfect), together it’s like they were in a bubble, like nothing around mattered.

More into the book I grew more sympathy towards Julia, she thought her world was perfect, just to crush with so much powers and secrets. Also for Mason when he couldn’t stand her doubting herself, he use his “power” to put her is place. And his sweet side towards her, his fight for her. Also, his fight with his oven demons that was much stronger in book 2.

I’m so glad it is a duet cos the end of the book one….damn, it kept me on my toes. Book 2 also. It was definitely hard and bumpy rode for Jules and Mason. Some events definitely shocking. Crying guarantee. And I’m happy they have their happy ending. Both with secrets to hide, both broken, both with unconditional love to each other to keep them together.

- You Know I Love You duet -
4/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kat and Evan. At the beginning, it was so hard not knowing why their marriage was not working. Even tho they love each other and need one another, there was something separating their way to happiness. Mostly Evan’s secrets.
I like it that everything worked between them at the end. It was a bumpy ride, kinda desperate on Evan’s side (maybe too desperate) but worked.
Also, the “bad guy” never saw that coming.


- Tell Me You Want Me -
3/5⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was good, short and spicy (lots of it)from the beginning but…. after reading prologue I thought something shocking was coming but no. It was just an office romance that turned into love just in one month.


- Sealed With A Kiss -
4.5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was really good, fast and spicy read….chef’s kiss 🤌🏻🥵
Garaham and Maddie(Madalyn) went from “making a deal with the devil” to wonderful couple.
They started with a bang 🔥🔥 from the very beginning and in the meantime, they started developing feelings towards each other.
Graham’s whole mentality changed when Maddie started to become more than just a girl he saw months ago in the elevator and made a rent deal.
No matter what - deal or no deal - they made room and pages really hot 🥵

-You are my reason (4 Stars)
Julia Summers is a little lost after losing her husband 8 months ago. When she meets Mason Thatcher one night, her life might just get that spark she is looking for but at what cost? Mason knows something that could destroy everything they might be building. As the story progresses, pieces of the truth will come to light. It took me a bit to get into this story but once I did I had to know what was happening. I enjoyed the overall story and made a few predictions but I’m not sharing them as this does end in a cliffhanger. This is an emotional story about finding yourself again and taking chances...with a twist. I really need book two! Told in dual POV

-You are my hope (5 Stars)
What a Brilliant turn of events from You Are My Reason!! Julia Summers and Mason Thatcher’s tumultuous story continues after the shocking cliffhanger we were left with in book one. When lies are uncovered and the truth is revealed what will become of these two? They just found love but can it be saved after everything? “I’m the only knight in shining armor she’s going to get.” Uh oh! Oh Mason, you silly man! I loved how their story unraveled in this duet. Plenty of deception, truths, obsession and a whole lot more. Sometimes it’s better to be with the monster you know than the monster you don’t. Mason and Jules are perfect together in their push and pull for the truth. An intense, dark, romantic suspense that will keep you on your toes until the very end. Told in dual POV

-You Know I Love You Duet

You know I love you (5 Stars) When Evan and Kat’s marriage starts to crumble around them, can they find a way to fix what’s broken? When a photo surfaces can Evan tell his wife the truth or will that make it worse? Will Kat ever trust him again? He is a “fixer” for the rich but can he fix his own life? Sometimes secrets can destroy everything. What an emotional rollercoaster this take you on. Your heart tugs for both sides as the lies are uncovered and the truth is revealed by each. An emotional journey of self awareness, the truth coming out and dealing with the consequences of your actions. Oh and it ends in quite the cliffhanger. This is the second duet in this revised series and originally titled Damaged. Told in dual POV

-You know I need you (5 Stars) After the jaw dropping cliffhanger of the first book, I’m so ready to dive straight in! Evan and Kat’s tumultuous love story continues after all the revelations we discovered in You Know I Love You. Can Evan find a way to keep Kat safe and win her back? Will the truth finally come out or will all the lies finally be the end for them? NY wealth, secrets, lies and murder all intertwine in this great romantic suspense novel. I really enjoyed Kat & Evan’s journey together and hope you do to. This was previously titled Scarred but has been rewritten and elevated. Told in dual POV

-Tell Me You Want Me (5 Stars
Do you have some Ice water? Maybe get some. Adrian Bradford…CEO…alpha jerk & the one man Suzette Parks can’t stay away from no matter how much she tries. This is an explosive and piping hot office romance you are going to want to grab! This goes from 1 to 100 in .001 seconds so get ready for a fun ride with the Alpha boss and lots of office…ahem, escapades. A flirty and fast read that is highly entertaining. I’m loving Adrian! Told in dual POV

-Sealed with a Kiss (5 Stars)
Get that hydration In because you’re gonna need it!! When Maddie Cunningham needs to make rent, wealthy building owner Graham Maxwell offers her a way to stay in her place. A little trade you could say…herself for the rent…it’s not like he is an ogar so why not! Woah! This is one Sizzling arrangement! These two may go into this as a one time deal but once could never be enough. I loved the connection these two have from the start in this fast paced steamy romance. Told In Dual POV

You are my reason duet.

An amazing duet that will keep you reading well into the small hours.

You are my reason:
Wow,
I absolutely loved this book.

It left me with all the feels, i couldnt put it down, i didn't read the other version so this was completely fresh for me.

You are my hope:
Through lies and deception, can you still look up to someone, can they still be your person and help each other to grow and over come it.

What a dramatic conclusion to the very brilliant series.
When book one ended on a cliffhanger I was eager to get my teeth into this one,and as always willow did not dissapoint, I couldnt put it down, even when the night drew on and I had very little time left to sleep i couldn't close my kindle until I read "THE END"
Can love conquer all?

You're going to have to read it to find out...believe me, its worth it.

You know I love you duet:

This duet is heartbreaking and unputdownable

You know i love you:

Omg my poor heart.

First released years ago as damaged now revised as you know I love you, kat and Evans story gutted me then but now it absolutely abliterated my soul.

My heart was in my mouth and I cried so much that I couldn't see the pages, it hurt my heart, everyone goes through unimaginable heartbreak, your fortunate if you dont, the lies and deceit that comes with it makes it all that more gutwrenching.

My love for willows words grow with every book I read, the emotion that I felt reading this story will stay with me for a long time.

You know I need you:
I absolutely love evan and kat's story, willow always has the ability to draw out every single emotion in me and this book was no different, i was on the edge of my seat with my heart firmly in my mouth, but I couldn't look away, I had to know what happened.

Beautifully written as always, what an amazing story.



Tell me you want me:

Suzette,  fiesty and headstrong, straight away she was firing on all cylinders
Adrian is possessive, Brootish and cocky with a dirty mouth and a smirk that will make you swoon.
The story draws you in right from the first page and holds your they right until the end. The anticipation had me gripped,  with dread in my belly and heart in my mouth I turned the pages,  every single emotion hit me full force, and the chemisty , damn its all kinds of hot.

Pick it up, its 100% recommended 👌

Sealed with a kiss;

I absolutely loved this hot and steamy read.
Everything to Graham is a transaction until maddie.
Once i picked this up, i could not put it down. It's one of my favourite reads. I read it well into the early hours.
Go pick this up now. it's a must-read.

I often gravitate to story collections. The frugal person in me makes me feel like I’m getting a good deal, and I love having a plethora of choices at my fingertips. Willow Winters’ Sins & Secrets Collection has four stories set in NYC. Readers can expect some stories to be high-heat and emotional.

You Are My Reason Duet involved Julia and Mason. Julia recently lost her husband and met Mason. Things are steamy, but things take a turn. Secrets are withheld, and information that may or may not be true is leaked. Mason is quite possessive and obsessed with Julia. I was flipping through these pages, wanting to know what would happen next!

In the You Know I Love You Duet, Evan and Kat delivered all the angst. Evan is the bad boy with tattoos. Their marriage is broken due to circumstances that may not be what they are. It is a story of second chances and fighting for their love and trust. It was well done.

Tell Me You Want Me is a steamy office romance with two strong characters battling it out. Suzette runs her own company, and Adrian comes in to buy it. Though Suzette is used to being in charge, she’s drawn to Adrian’s domineering ways in the bedroom. The heat is high in this one. When Adrian says, “Take it like a good girl,” it’s pretty early in the story. And I’m not mad about it either.

Sealed with a Kiss gave me all the feels from Graham and Maddie’s “meet-cute” in the elevator and their unorthodox agreement with the rent exchange. I thought this was fun, spicy, and a good time.

All four stories are short, paced well, and full of plot, romance, and steam.

Sins & Secrets is Available Now!

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝘂𝗲𝘁:

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗢𝗻𝗲:
Julia and Mason's story exceeded my expectations and completely consumed me from the very beginning of the story. After losing her husband 8 months beforehand, Julia is trying to piece her life back together when she meets Mason, she wants to move forward and start living again but her fear stands in her way, making it almost impossible for her to move on, her anxiety taking the front seat in her life and making it a struggle to see the future in front of her.
Mason knows Julia, but they haven't met but the moment they do, he knows that he needs, wants, and has to have this woman. Even though it's dangerous and not the smartest idea, he can't seem to deny himself of her. Mason has secrets, sins from his past that could ruin Julia and could ruin the love they have for each other. Will Julia find out these secrets?

This book flawed me, I was captivated with Ms. Winters's words and the depth of this story. As always, Willow Winters throws me through a tunnel of so many raw emotions. This book is packed with passion, mystery, lies, betrayal, pain, and anger. I had so many emotions throughout the book. Completely spellbound and so intrigued to see where she goes with these two!



𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗧𝘄𝗼:
Jesus. Freaking. Christ.
This is why Willow Winters is a top 3 favorite author of mine. She continues to blow my mind with her way with words and continues to write such epic stories that completely consume me and You Are My Hope was no exception. Just having finished You Are My Reason (Part 1 to this duet) I was eager to continue the story. It picks up where book one left off and it threw me right back Mason and Julia's intense and insanely hot love story.

Mason has become such a favorite of mine through these two books. He's dominant, possessive, protective and loves recklessly for Julia and is willing to do anything to keep her as "his". He can't see how life without this woman in it and when that could be a possibility, he won't let that happen. But will he be able to win Julias' trust back?

Julia comes clean about things and is struggling on if she should listen to her heart or her mind. She is torn on what to do.

Will these two get their HEA? Will Mason be able to win her back?

This book was full of suspense, intense heat, angst, drama, and plot twists I did not see coming. Once again, Ms. Winters flaws me with her ability to write a story so captivating that I was completely consumed from beginning to end.






𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗗𝘂𝗲𝘁:

A f*cking masterpiece... This book was a masterpiece.

Kat and Evan, where do I start with these two? Well if you are wanting a romance that will rip your heart out and stomp on it, then this is for you... The angst in this was on high... With each page of the book, I could feel Ms Winters working her magic and so masterfully weaving her words together so they grabbed hold of my heartstrings and tugged. I was sobbing like a baby through at least 80% of this... The love story and heartbreak that is Kat and Evan's story took me by surprise, I knew it was going to be emotional... I was warned, but jesus christ, I could feel my heart breaking in pieces just like the hearts of the characters.

I'm not diving in deep with this, I believe people need to go in as blind as possible to get the real experience and to really feel the heartbreak and angst that fills this book. All I will say is that, make sure you have a box of tissue, a pint of ice cream and no plans for the day because this book will consume you from the first page.




𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗲:

Woah, cold shower anyone? THIS book... THIS FREAKING BOOK! had me fanning myself like crazy.
Adrian Bradford is an alpha asshole CEO that you can't help but lust over him and he's one man that sassy Suzette parks can't get enough of no matter how hard she tries she can't keep away from this man.

If you are looking for a light-hearted, smutty af, and fun read then I highly recommend Tell Me You Want Me. It's a hot summer read that should not be missed! As always, Ms Winters delivers an addicting, all-consuming and hot as hell book that I couldn't help but devour in one sitting!



𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔 𝗞𝗶𝘀𝘀:

Omg, this book? EVERYTHING! I am a massive fan of Willow, there’s no hiding that, and Amelia became a fast favourite over the last two years so when these two write together I know it’s going to be an epic story and this book did not disappoint!

When Maddie needs to make rent a wealthy billionaire called Graham offers her a deal that she has no choice but to accept so she can stay in her place and I mean, it’s not a bad deal, the “deal” I’m sure you can figure out.. and really? The deal isn’t such a bad deal, is it? he’s a sexy-as-hell billionaire.

It was only meant to be one time but once wasn’t enough and oh my god, this chemistry and heat between these two is on fire! The connection between these two was strong and I couldn’t help but fall in love with them as the story progressed and their relationship grew.

This book was STEAMY… so freaking steamy and so freaking good. I did not doubt that it wouldn’t be amazing! Everything these two authors write always is.

An Extraordinary Collection

You Are My Reason

If you lose someone but find yourself, you win...

Love isn't saying goodbye but learning to live without them. When she meets Mason the current between them is fierce and strong. Julia needed a distraction from her current life of woe and despair. She was slowly sinking into an abyss with no return. Mason was handsome, confident and sexy. He was a welcome diversion at first, but Julia was beginning to want more from him. He looked right into the soul of her eyes and she just knew he would take care of her. But she could also see in Mason a side that had her on the alert. She felt he was holding back secrets from her.

Julia is fearful of losing Mason. The worst mistake she could make would be to walk away from the person who actually stood there and waited for her. She felt stuck in her sorrow and needed to take a breath and find out who she really is at this moment in time. A very emotional read and I am left wanting more of their story. I look forward to the conclusion in Book Two.

You Are My Hope

I didn't come this far to only come this far...

This story was unexpected, twisty and had my emotions in a whirlwind to the final conclusion. Mason and Julia were by far the most complicated couple I have ever read. Mason is so in love with Julia he would do anything to keep her by his side forever. But what if that meant crossing a line where Julia could never forgive him. Julia is fighting a battle with her heart and mind in trying to do the right thing.

Mason needs and wants Julia to stay with him no matter how hard it is to be with him. This was a very intense story that left me emotionally drained, but it was so worth it.


You Know I Love You

Sometimes Love just isn't enough...

Mind Blown!! I am still reeling with emotion after reading Evan and Kat's story. The love that they have for each other is immeasurable and fathomless. To go the distance in a marriage it takes a lot of hard work for it to be long lasting. If you are not totally honest with your spouse, the marriage starts to crack. It is a journey filled with hardships, challenges but also joy. Love is key in a relationship, but there is so much more needed.

It was heart wrenching to read as Evan and Kat try to find their way back to each other. It's going to be difficult to wait to find out how this all turns out in the next book. But it is so worth the wait.

You Know I Need You...

Without you I am nothing. With you I am everything...

Waiting for Kat and Evan's closure was so worth the wait. It was exquisitely written by Willow Winters. Evan is in a state of desperation to prove he loves and will always love Kat and wants a forever with her. Kat is at a crossroads. She loves him and wants to believe him but he always seems to come back to her and then leaves her time and time again. She feels she needs to try to move on without him and she finds comfort with someone else who listens to her.

I found my heart in my throat with the suspense and all the emotion when it comes to the conclusion for their story. The ending was magnificent and perfectly wrapped up for a well-deserved HEA.


Tell Me You Want Me

In all the world, there is no love for you like mine...

Every one of my 7 erogenous zones took a hit with the steamy, salacious story about Adrian and Suzette. These two made all my naughty desires of having an office romance come true. Willow Winters is the goddess of sexual tension and fiery passion. Adrian is the CEO, Suzette's boss. Adrian always gets what he wants and he wears Suzette down, although it does not take much to do so. He is a master in and out of the boardroom. You will need your A/C turned on high for their story.

Sealed With A Kiss

I'm afraid to lose you and you're not even mine...yet

One intoxicating glance in an elevator and Graham and Maddie's lives would be changed forever. After a shattering breakup, Maddie finds herself at rock bottom, emotionally and financially. She makes a decision to plea and beg to the owner of the building to let her have a temporary reprieve on the rent. She is shocked beyond comprehension to learn the owner is none other than the handsome stranger she had a connection with in the elevator.

Graham makes an offer she simply cannot refuse. Little did they both know what they were in for. This is an addictive, enthralling and very sexy read that will snare your attention from the first chapter.

I’ve such a weakness for a beautiful cover and this one is just beautiful and by the cover alone I know it’s going to be a 5 star read , well that and I’m a big WW fan 🥰📕

Before you attempt this read I recommend you stock up on I’ll your Kleenex supply , your ice chips , your snacks and make sure there’s ready made meals for your family because once you start reading you can’t stop and nothing will distract you 🥰📕🤣

YOU ARE MY REASON DUET

A newly widowed Julia is trying to navigate her “new life” and mason comes along and seems to heal all the broken parts of her and my heart shattered into pieces when she found out what her husband was up to and she never expected Mason in her life and things are difficult to navigate with her trust issues and his hidden secrets and fortunately for me this was a duet so I literally had to turn a few pages to pick up where I left off so when I got into you are mine my heart just thumped even harder , I cried even harder and I got so mad I was throwing temper tantrums 🙈🤣mason know what he wants and that’s Julia and he’ll stop at nothing to keep her , all I can say is good luck when reading this and make sure you read them all 😉


YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU DUET

I’m still reeling from the previous duet and I feel like giving up because I don’t think my emotional tank take much more but I’m no quitter 🤣

I met Kat and Evan before so I was keen to learn more about them and boy they didn’t hold back 😉 and when trust is broken it’s not always to heal but they tried and they did it but with it came a lot of tears and growth especially for Kat and I did soften my heart towards Evan and went from wanting to scratch his eyes out to wanting to hug him and again do yourself a favour and read them all 🥰📕

TELL ME TOU WANT ME

Oh my goodness this cover nearly melted my kindle 🔥hence the warning in the beginning to have your ice chips in hand 😉

Adrianne is hardcore and he takes companies that are failing and rips to shreds and Suzette’s is next on the chopping block and he has this ability to separate business from pleasure and Suzette doesn’t and that could be problematic but he’s so good at what he does if you get my drift 😉 and he’s addictive !

SEALED WITH A KISS

I’ve always been a fan of Willow Winters and I’ve read almost every book penned by her but this by far my favourite! 🥰📚

There’s a Pretty Woman vibe to it and while I loved the movie this book would’ve made it so much better 🙈🤣😉🥰

Madelyn and Kevin meet Graham the night of their engagement and I could feel it almost as if I was Madelyn myself the hairs on my neck tingled ( true story , I can’t make things like this up ) but it’s very real and 6 months down the line Madelyn is in Graham’s office and I’d have gone the very same Nroute Madelyn did , I mean hello have you seen what Graham looks like 🔥

Kevin is now the ex fiancé and girl you’re better off ! Good riddance to bad rubbish if you ask me ! Anyhoo , Madelyn is in a predicament and she’s not at Graham’s grace and I’d happily trade places 🔥🤣


While their arrangement was working for the both of them I think both were in denial of what they both knew from the start and I think it’s because neither said anything in fear of the other not feeling the same and boy was that a waste of time but it just made their story perfect didn’t it !?


The way family plays a role in their lives is beautiful and when they’re all together I could actually see them all together in my minds eye and Graham works hard and he’s tough in business but he’s a big heart and is generous with no expectations and to me that just spoke volumes of his character ���� Madelyn you’ve got a gem of a man ❣️


Loved Graham and Madelyn and I’m looking forward to see what develops between Suzette and Adrian 😉

NOW THAT IM DONE I NEED A DAY TO RECOVER 🥰📕🤣

You are my reason
This was an amazing book of self discovery. When you lose someone, you're broken and you don’t know if you will ever pick up the pieces, but there is always that little light at the end of the tunnel giving you hope. When Mason and Julia meet, there’s a spark she hasn’t felt in a while, the easiness of being with someone and the thought could he be the one? Nothing is as it seems, Mason has not been completely honest with Julia and the secret he’s been keeping could destroy them before they even begin? Mason and Jules love each other, but is love enough? When secrets are revealed will Jules find it in her heart to forgive Mason? Jules is all Mason wants and needs. Can he make her see that they belong together before it’s too late? Their story tugs on your heart strings, and shatters your heart just a little in anticipation of what’s coming.

You know I love you
Evan and Kat’s marriage is in trouble and neither one knows how to fix it. The secrets, lies and betrayals could just be too much for their relationship to survive. Will Kat be able to ever trust him again? Will Evan man up and tell the truth? How can they come back from this? Will Evan be able to fix this like he fixes everyone else? So good and a must read.

Tell Me you want me
Holy Crapola!! What a hot office romance. Definitely need a fan, and a bowl of ice to cool you down while reading this. Adrian and Suzette were FIRE! Adrian and Suzette butt heads in the boardroom but after hours the gloves are off. These two are compatible outside of work, but the 9 to 5 is a whole different thing. Adrian is ruthless and takes what he wants when he wants it whether is regarding business or wanting Suzette for himself. He’s been keeping an eye on her and she fascinates him and once she’s under his spell will she be able to keep her wits about her? Suzette, is driven, smart and sassy, no crap taking kind of gal, but will she beat Adrian at his own game? A great sizzling summer read you can’t miss out on.


Sealed with a kiss
I knew the minute Maddie saw Graham in the elevator that night something juicy was coming our way. On the night of her life, riding a high, newly engaged and thinking that tonight’s going to be amazing, only to be ignored and to feel a little put off. Thinking nothing of it, she forges forward and they end up in the elevator with Graham who doesn’t hide the fact he’s infatuated with her and when her fiance sees what’s happening he makes sure Graham know she’s with him, not that anything would’ve come out of it, no one goes after a taken woman, do they? Maddie’s whirlwind romance falls short when she learns of his indiscretion and he bolts leaving her no way to pay for the apartment they shared. Who knew that when she opened her door that Graham would be the man from the elevator and the one she’s been dreaming about for months and to his shock he’s finally found her, and he needs to find a way to never let her go. I loved these two, and the arrangement they came up with. Life always has a way of throwing you a curveball. You just need to have the balls to grab what you want before the opportunity passes you by.

This new collection of Willow Winters contains 6 books contained within two duets and two standalone reads. An ideal combination of NYC intense steamy romance reads.


Sealed with a Kiss
The two characters have amazing chemistry well written with this book, Graham is handsome, rich, powerful businessman who owns the building Maddie lives in. Maddie is down on her luck after a relationship break up and unable to find a solution to her current situation, until Graham present her with a deal.
But feelings run deeper for both of them but Maddies past and how deeply she falls in love, prevent her from being honest. Graham is affectionate, kind and caring towards Maddie and wants a much more permanent relationship, but doesn't open up to his feelings right away.
This book has lots of spice scenes which are well written into a great and enticing plot line.

Tell Me You Want Me

This story is about Adrian and Suzette who cross paths when they end up working together on a buisness project. This is not your typical office romance, it's full of steamy smutty scenes often with some mild Dom/Sub theme to these scenes.
Adrian is a portrayed as a guy every woman would want, definitely leaving us wanting a guy like him. While Suzette is the confident, head strong business woman we all wish we could be. She knows she is desired and gets what she wants both in buisness and pleasure, but not without risks to her career and she knows it. It's a fast paced straight into the hot stuff read, which could throw some readers off, but personally I liked that, rather than loads of plot and no steamy scenes to back up the plot of the romance.

You Are My Reason Duet

Mason and Julia are the leading characters within this intense duet. I am loving reading the journey this two characters have to hopefully what will be a HEA for them. I'm still reading this duet so can't say exactly how this ends as I haven't got that far yet.

But so far I've found this book amazing the way the story pulls me in and I get lost within its pages. Willows writing leaves me with all those amazing feeling I expect when reading a romance novel of the steamy kind. But this has so much more to it than just steamy scenes, it's giving hope to second chances and intense passion we all hope for. The character development is written beautifully so that the reader connects with the characters and can show empathy and compassion for them, plot lines that gripping and relatable and best of all no cliff hanger as both parts of the story are contained within this duet.

I can't wait to finish and uncover everything about Mason and Julia's ending.

Sins and Secerts contains another duet You Know I Love You which is described as a seductive duet about Evan and Kat set within the wealthy elite society of New York.

From how much I've read so far of Sins and Secerts I would rate this:
4.5 🌟

Sins and Secrets by Willow Winters is a collection of romance that chronicles four friends' journey to happily ever after. Julia. Kat. Suzette. Maddie. Full of angst, spice and sometimes the touch of suspense.

You Are My Reason Duet: Mason and Julia
What happens when a grieving widow unknowingly fall for the murderer of her husband? Specially when she knows that her husband was a lying cheating thief? Mason is gloriously alpha with his tortured side, insane protectiveness and pure obsession for Julia. He wanted to redeem himself and make her happy but it was a twisted ride. Julia is a beautiful combination of vulnerabilities and resilience and she knows Mason is healing her.

You Know I Love You Duet: Kat and Evan
This one was pure heartbreak and adrenaline rush. Kat married the bad boy who turned out to be the PR guru everyone wants to work with but Evan still carries the edge rough persona. His job is about secrets and danger so he is stuck in a mess right now. That is threatening his only reason to live. His wife. The author explores the dark side of marriage when only love isn't enough as the external factors are pushing them to break down. I loved how angsty it was and how intense the emotions were.

Tell Me You Want Me: Adrian and Suzette
We are switching gears because It was insanely and deliciously sinful. But it also had equally strong emotional side. The author has planned an all out assault on your heart and body.I am in billionaire alpha heaven. The heroine is fierce and bold. And their emotional and physical chemistry set fire.Adrian is just a powerhouse. His gorgeous body. His cocky ,arrogant,edgy and predatory personality. His sharp mind. And all the hardness and merciless sides counterbalanced by his desperation for Suzette.The HEA was so beautiful and I am blissfully happy with everything. I loved how the steam and the deep emotions were balanced.

Sealed with a Kiss: Maddie and Graham
This is a cowrite with Amelia Wilde. Maddie was desperate after her cheating fiance left her penniless and that's why she proposed the sexy deal with the owner of her apartment and billionaire Graham Maxwell. The truth is that Graham wanted her for a long time and this arrangement is just his portal to her life, her body and her heart. Maddie is scared to get hurt but Graham erases the fear with his protectiveness and dominance.

An intense and emotional story about Jules and Mason....

Part 1:
Jules was widowed around 8 months ago and is trying to get her life back, while having a rare night out with her girls, she meets Mason, tall, dark, sexy and mysterious Mason! But there is so much more to him than what she thinks and there's a big chunk, he's trying to keep hidden...

Part 2:
After book one ended with a major cliffhanger, I was itching for the final - and it didn't disappoint!
Jules and Mason have a lot to overcome, no matter how much they want to forget and move forward, there is no doubt that secrets will tear them apart....

An excellent emotional and intense read, that will have you engrossed until the very end.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗗𝘂𝗲𝘁
Part 1:
Well, damn! Isn't this just a big bag of emotions....!!

Kat and Evans story - they've been married for 5years, together for 6, and still deeply in love. HOWEVER - secrets!!..secrets tear people apart and Evan has a big one!

This is an emotional book so be prepared with a few hankies!

Part 2:
We know from book 1 that these two are still so in love, but secrets are keeping them apart! Evan thinks he's protecting her by not telling her anything but when your faced with something that you don't believe but aren't being told different - then your going to start believing!!

I'll admit, at one stage I wanted to bang their heads together! But then again, where's the fun if it's straightforward!!

It's an emotional read, one part of which, will have you gutted! But yeah, an emotional, sensual, gripping read that will have you glued!!


𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗲
A fast-paced, super-hot, alphahole-boss and the employee who despises him!

He's bought the company, she's adamant she's not letting him destroy her department, goes to give him a piece of her mind and ends up giving more if you get my drift 😘🤷🏻‍♀️

As I said, it's fast-paced and very steamy, but nothings ever straight forward is it??!!!.....


𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗞𝗶𝘀𝘀
Maddy & Graham's story and it jumps straight into Graham accepting an 'arrangement' when she needs help.
It soon becomes clear there's feelings that aren't supposed to be there!...

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

This is a collection that contains two duets and two books. You Are My Reason Duet, You Know I Love You Duet, Tell Me You Want Me, and Sealed With A Kiss. These are second chance, dark forbidden romances that have secrets in them that could tear everyone apart. However, you get a HEA with each duet and story.
You Are My Reason Duet is the story of Julia and Mason. Julia has lost her husband and is trying to piece her life back together. When she meets Mason she knows that she has met someone she could move one. But her anxiety gets the best of her and she can't see what is right in front of her for the fear. Mason on the other hand is positive he has found his forever. I really loved reading their story.
You Know I Love You Duet is the story of Kat and Evan. This one is full of so much angst it just might rip your heart out and never give it back to you. I don't even know what to say about this one and not give something away. All I knew was this was in the collection and I hadn't read it before. But this story was amazing and your going to love it once you stop crying.
Tell Me You Want me is the story of Adrian and Suzette. He is a CEO that you are going to fall for right off the bat. Heck is a huge alpha hole and we all know that we readers really love to read about them. Suzette is a sassy and has a thing for him. No matter how much she doesn't want to. She just can't help herself. This one is high up on the spice meter and you will find yourself wondering if your Kindle is going to melt in your very hands.
Sealed With A Kiss is the story of Maddie and Graham. She is a girl down on her luck. But that doesn't stop the bills from piling up. When the rent is due and she is desperate, Graham makes her a deal she has not choice but to agree to. However a one time deal just might turn into so much more than either of them ever bargained for. These two have a great connection and I loved every second of this story.

This is a great collection. You will love everything that is in this book. You do not want to miss it.

This is such a great collection of stories. Each one is a different couple. My favorite is Kat and Evan. Their story was a gut punch to the system and Willow ripped my heart out and ripped it to shreds. In true Willow fashion though, she put it back together. These stories are filled with spice, steam, shocks, drama, angst, and twists I didn’t see coming. Grab this collection up and get hit with all the feels and steam, you won’t be sorry. You will be taken on quite the rollercoaster ride and this book is worth every twist and turn this ride gives you. So buckle up and hang on tight.
-You Are My Reason Duet- Mason and Julia
-You Know I Love You Duet - Evan and Kat
-Tell Me You Want Me - Adrian and Suzette
-Sealed With A Kiss - Graham and Maddie
YKILY- Another amazing read by Willow. Willow knows exactly what to write to get you hooked from the first page and keep you there until you finish. This is Evan and Kay's story and it is heartwrenching. This book broke my heart in pieces and had me grabbing the tissues. Evan has been keeping secrets from Kat, and the most recent secret can rip their marriage apart forever. Will they be able to get past the hurt and will Evan reveal all his secrets? This was such an emotionally driven read that I'm still reeling for it. This duet has left me with such a severe book hangover, but Willow's books are worth it. She puts all her feelings in her books, and makes you feel those feelings. When Evan starts to stay away from her this hurts him so much. This guts Kat even more than if he would just tell her the truth. Evan thinks the truth will hurt her more and continues to tell his lies. He needs to find out the truth before he can go back to Kat. He just hopes he won't be too late and lose her forever. This has suspense, twists, angst, heartbreak, lies, secrets, and love. This story is a smorgasbord of emotions. Willow did a fabulous job with Kat and Evan's story.

Wooooow!!!! Holy freaking emotional rollercoaster of a read! This collection had my head spinning! I didn’t want to put it down, but with it being 4 different stories in one, it took me a little bit. I am not even sure who was my favorite story. Each story grabbed ahold of my heart and attention and had me begging for more.

♥️yoυ are мy reaѕon dυeт♥️
Julia is still grieving from the loss of her husband 8 months ago, but she decided it is time to find that woman inside of her that she was before he passed. The two had a connection and a bond that formed almost instantly. Their push and pull was constant. She discovered so many secrets from her late husband and didn’t know how to handle it all. But Mason held a secret that could destroy everything. I loved this couple, but got so frustrated and mad at them at the same time.

♥️yoυ ĸnow ι love yoυ dυeт♥️
Evan and Kat’s marriage is starting to fall apart. He is the one who fixes everything for those who are rich around him, but can he fix his marriage? Kat isn’t sure that she can ever trust Ethan again. Their story will pull at your heartstrings and have you broken for them both. Be prepared to have your heart broken by their story.

♥️тell мe yoυ wanт мe♥️
Adrian is the cocky and kinda jerk CEO, but for some reason Suzette is drawn to him. It doesn’t matter how hard she tries, she is pulled to him and can’t stay away. This is one spicy and hot workplace romance you don’t want to miss.

♥️ѕealed wιтн a ĸιѕѕ♥️
Whew this was a fast paced very intense sexual chemistry read between Graham and Maddie. She is having a hard time making rent and is offered a one time deal. Giving him herself for the rent. It was only supposed to be that one time, buuuut it never goes the way it’s planned out to.

This is a collection of several stories:
You Are My Reason Duet
You Know I Love You Duet
Tell Me You Want Me
Sealed With A Kiss

You Are My Reason Duet:
This book pulled me in with its emotional depth, sizzling chemistry, and the kind of secrets that make your heart race. Just when I thought love had finally healed Julia, a twist hit so hard it left me breathless. If you’re into second chances, seductive tension, and jaw-dropping revelations, this is the kind of romance that stays with you.

You Know I Love You Duet
This book is pure fire—raw, emotional, and dripping with forbidden heat. It’s the kind of love story that makes you ache, because you know it’s all wrong but you can’t stop wanting it anyway. If you’re into bad boys, brutal passion, and the kind of love that scars and saves you at the same time, this one will wreck you in the best way.

Tell Me You Want Me:

This book is a scorching blend of power, obsession, and undeniable chemistry that had me hooked from the first page. The dynamic between the ruthless CEO and the fiery woman who refuses to back down crackles with tension and heat. If you love alpha energy, fierce heroines, and steamy office games, this one absolutely delivers.


Sealed With A Kiss:
This book is sinfully addictive, full of heat, heartbreak, and a desperate deal that feels as dangerous as it is irresistible. The chemistry between FMC and the MMC is electric, but underneath the passion is a slow-burning emotional tension that had me bracing for impact. If you’re into steamy power plays, forbidden arrangements, and love that teeters on the edge of ruin, this one will absolutely consume you.

Sins and Secrets is an 6 in 1, 800+ page book collection. It features the You Are My Reason Duet, the You Know I Love You Duet as well as the books Tell Me You Want Me & Sealed With A Kiss. The stories are all told in dual pov and take place in NYC. This was a great collection of stories. They were all binge worthy and engaging.

Themes & Tropes:

🤎Alpha Billionaire
🤍My Wife
💚Forbidden Relationship
🤎Enemies to Lovers
🤍Workplace Romance
💚Second Chance

The You Are My Reason Duet is Julia and Mason’s story. It’s a steamy love after loss, suspenseful romance. This storyline had some interesting tension, twists, and great buildup. The You Know I Love You Duet is Kat and Evan’s story. It’s angsty yet steamy, second chance romance. Bad boys in fiction can be hard to resist and Evan was certainly a challenge. Kat and Evan’s relationship was an emotional roller coaster and I fully enjoyed the bumpy ride.

Tell Me You Want Me is Suzette and Adrian’s story. It’s a steamy enemies to lovers, workplace romance. This story was fast paced and was my favorite one of the collection. Enemies to lovers never gets old and I can’t help but appreciate when the FMC is sassy. I’m also a sucker for a story where a woman is diligently pursued. Suzette was at the top of Adrian’s must have list and I was here for it!

Sealed with a Kiss is Maddie and Graham’s story. It’s a quick and steamy forced proximity romance between a building owner and his “tenant”. This one was deliciously fun and a heck of a bargain. These characters had an undeniable connection which made for great chemistry!

Overall, liked this read!

You Are My Reason Duet - Mason is at a crossroads in his life and must decide whether to continue the path that he is on or to try and break away which will destroy his life as he knows it. Jules is a widow who lost her husband less than a year ago and she wants to move on, but the guilt is holding her back. Secrets, suspense and drama collide as just when you think you know where the story is going there is another surprise that throws you for a loop.

You Know I Love You Duet - Evan and Kat are finding out that careers and life can be challenge on a marriage as he appears to be guilty of a betrayal however the secrets he holds could destroy everything. Love was never a problem in their marriage however they have changed from the people they were when they married and grown apart. So much emotion, so much angst and so many secrets leave us needing to know what the future holds for this captivating couple.

Tell Me You Want Me - Adrian is a powerful businessman who has just purchased a new company. Suzette is determined to protect her job and her team and isn’t about to back down from anyone and that includes her sexy new boss. She is more than willing to submit to him physically but that doesn’t mean she is willing to submit in all areas of her life. Hot chemistry combined with a possessive hero who is so much more than he appears has met his match in his feisty and fiery heroine.

It is great to have these stories in one collection. I haven’t had a chance to read Sealed With A Kiss yet but I am looking forward to reading that story as well.

3.5 overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

You are my reason
4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is another good book by Willow, it’s angsty and wonderful. The book is part one of a duet so it ends on a cliffhanger but I’ll be jumping on the next one asap!

You are my hope
4.25 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

This is a great continuation and more of Willow’s wonderful writing. I wish this was one book rather than two but I also know this is not Willow’s style. I like this story and the characters, enjoyable read.

You know I love you
3.25 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Marriage in crisis is not really my vibe. Willows writing is good and most of the book I was thinking kick him to the curb (cheating) but he starts getting a redemption arc part way through. Maybe it gets better in book two but not a promising start.

You know I need you
2 stars ⭐️⭐️

Nope. I had hope it could be redeemed at the end of book one. Book two proved that when you don’t know how to get people back together they get pregnant and do it for the kid (that always ends so well). Such a disappointment.

Tell me you want me
4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I understand why this one is used so much in the advertising. It’s a fun workplace romance leaning more erotica than romance but it’s well written so it’s not that spice is covering lack of story. I think I am a Willow Winters fan girl for life now!

Sealed with a kiss
3.25 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

This was well written and incredible spice. The characters are interesting but the story felt rushed, particularly towards the end, which always a bit disappointing.

What an incredible collection of captivating and spicy stories from the very talented Willow Winters.
This collection includes two duets and two standalones and an array of amazing tropes. You can escape into an office, billionaire, second chance, insta-love, dark, or forbidden romance.
Having enjoyed all of these books when they were released separately I love the fact that Willow has put them all in one REMARKABLE collection.
🥀You Are The Reason is Mason and Julia's second chance dark romance, filled with secrets, suspense, passion and fascinating twists. It is truly an intriguing and enticing story, with engaging, alluring and gripping characters.
🥀You Know I love You is Evan and Kat's gripping , suspenseful romance. A marriage on the rocks, a woman fighting to forgive and a husband harbouring a secret. When secrets are revealed, Kat will do everything for love. This story is 100% interesting, passionate and captivating.
🥀Tell Me You Want Me is Adrian and Suzette's erotic office romance. When I say this story is HOT, it'S SCORCHING. Adrian is the dominate, controlling, cocky and dirty talking billionaire we all desire. Those after 6PM work days Suzette has to endure are purely sinful. If you're looking for SPICY this story will thoroughly satisfy and delight you!
🥀Sealed With A Kiss is Graham and Maddie's Insta-Love romance. Their story is tantalizing, flirty and beautiful. A mutually enticing and beneficial arrangement that will fulfill all their desires. A really fascinating and sexy read!

An anthology of four women and their respective romances, their lives connected by friendship. The spicy, contemporary romances are told in dual PoV and each chapter cleverly starts with a poem revealing what is to come. I enjoyed all of them with the vulnerability and emotions, intimacy and passion and real problems faced by the characters.
You Are My Reason Duet features Jules, a recent widower and author, and Mason, a man who wants her. There is deception and secrets but also truth and compassion.
You Know I Love You Duet features the heart wrenching marriage in crisis of Kat, Jule’s publisher and Evan. These characters felt real and relatable.
Tell Me You Want Me
A steamy workplace romance between Suzette, a divorcee and friend of Jules and Kay, and Adrian, her boss. Both are goal-oriented and driven but learn to not let their love be on the back burner. Lots of growth shown in the older(ish) characters which was refreshing to read.
Sealed with A Kiss (co-author Amelia Wilde)
Maddie, an acquaintance to Jules, Kat and Sue and also the youngest and hard up on luck for finances, enters into a passionate agreement with her landlord. I felt empathy for Maddie due to her feeling like she has to take care of everyone while not caring for herself and trying to overcome her recent tough past. So glad she found Graham and he eventually saw her for the gem she is.
Overall 4.25 stars, a great steamy large city romance

Willow Winters does not play fair when it comes to emotions. This book was raw, intense, and beautifully twisted. The push and pull between the characters had me on edge the entire time—I couldn’t decide if I wanted to scream, cry, or fan myself. (Usually all three within a single chapter.)

The dynamic between the hero and heroine was so deliciously complex. There’s danger, power, and heartbreak wrapped into every interaction, and somehow, it works. You can feel every ounce of pain, every stolen moment of tenderness, and every sinful secret buried beneath the surface.

What I love most about Willow’s writing is how she pulls you into the darkness without ever letting go of the thread of hope. The characters are morally gray, damaged, and deeply layered. The plot is fast-paced and addictive, with secrets unraveling at just the right moments to keep you hooked.

⚠️ Trigger warnings apply, so check those before diving in. But if you’re into dark romance that explores the messy, brutal sides of love? This book will absolutely wreck you—in the best way.

A must-read for fans of:
• Possessive, dangerous men
• High-stakes tension
• Dark, emotional romance
• Twists you won’t see coming

I’ll be thinking about these characters long after I close the book. And let’s be honest… I’ll probably be diving into the next one immediately.

📕Book review 📕 4.5 ⭐️
🥀You Are My Reason Duet🥀
That was a ride. It was a complicated mess of feelings for me as a reader and especially for me as a therapist. So well written, so complex in its portrayal of complicated grief, lust, yearning, betrayal, forgiveness and hatred, twisted conspiracies, and deceit. I was not expecting all that, and I was highly entertained.

👋 Therapist Take: this was heavy, really heavy and created some interesting reactions in me, as the reader I found myself feeling grief for what I had expected, thought I needed, and felt these characters should have. I’m not great at angsty books because my reading is often an escape for the angst I encounter in 9 patient visits most days, but I didn’t mind because I was invested. I’m going to suggest you go in blind here like I did (mind the trigger warnings), with an open mind to the absolute mess that human beings can create for themselves and the absolute certainty that love really can conquer all. Willow Winters (writing as W. Winters) always writes in a way that keeps my attention, feels different and fresh, and creates stories that keep me guessing. I’ll be thinking about Mason and Jules for a long time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

This collection is full of brilliant reads - full of spice, second chances, secrets but they all come with happy endings.

•• You Are My Reason Duet
An emotionally gripping, beautifully written read, full of mystery, intrigue, suspense and a whole lot of everything hot. An intoxicating, unputdownable read from the start.

•• You Know I Love You Duet
A highly emotional, heartbreaking read. Ill admit i needed tissues for this one.
I really felt for these two throughout. Shocking, unexpected twists, right through to the end. Lies being kept, secrets unravelling and truths being told - this gripping read had it all. Willow Winters delivers all the angst and emotion.

•• Tell Me You Want Me
The best, smuttiest office romance I've read. 
Alpha CEO Adrian Bradford and strong but vulnerable Suzette Parks bring an intensely scorching chemistry to the office but only act on their feelings after 6pm. 

•• Sealed With A Kiss
This read had me hooked in the first couple of chapters. 
Graham and Maddie have a connection from the first time they meet in the elevator. That connection leads to a chemistry that gives us some steamy moments. 

This is one collection that you need to add to your own collection

Sins & Secrets by Willow Winters is a collection of dark, intense, and emotionally charged romance that kept me captivated throughout. The stories delves into a world of corruption, power, and dangerous secrets, centered around a ruthless man whose past haunts him and a woman whose life is shattered by circumstances beyond her control. Winters’ writing is raw and evocative, skillfully balancing the gritty underworld setting with moments of vulnerability and passion.

The chemistry between the leads is electric and addictive, filled with tension, desire, and emotional complexity. I appreciated how the story explores themes of trust, control, and healing, making the characters’ journey feel authentic despite the high-stakes backdrop. The pacing was generally well-handled, with enough twists and turns to keep the suspense alive.

While some plot elements follow familiar dark romance tropes, Willow Winters’ strong character development and emotional depth make Sins & Secrets stand out. The blend of danger, passion, and secrets creates a compelling read that I found hard to put down.

Overall, I’m giving Sins & Secrets four stars. It’s a gripping and steamy romance perfect for fans of dark, intense stories with complex characters and high emotional stakes.

This is the best collection ever!

Willow Winters has put together the perfect collection in Sin & Secrets, romance stories all set within New York City featuring some of her best work.

Each story is angsty, steamy, full of emotions and a romance like no other. The men are willing to do everything for the woman they love, which honestly I adored and melted for each one of the MC.

This collection includes:

➢You Are My Reason Duet: Julia & Mason, were secrets are dangerous but their attraction is to hard to fight. They need to choose what are the willing to sacrifice in the name of love.

➢You Know I Love You Duet: Kat & Evan, an angsty and emotional romance between a marriage couple who's struggling to balance life, where second chances and love will conquer all.

➢Tell Me You Want Me: Suzette & Adrian, a steamy office romance where opposites attracts and the tension and steam is high.

➢Sealed With A Kiss: Maddie & Graham, an unexpected meeting between two stranger, a proposition with no strings attached and a lot of steam that left me wanting more.

Are you a WW fan? She writes light to dark romance books that I love to read. Her covers are always beautiful and tasteful, especially the sprayed edged editions. The characters, plot, and tropes of Winters are the reason I want to collect them all to read! I can honestly say books by and coauthored by WW are one-click for my romance shelf!

Lucky for us that there is a new set to help burn through our kindles and tab away the good bits of her wordsmith genius that we can enjoy in one sitting. Sins & Secrets has 6 books! Previously this set of titles were only available as a Decadent Collection but now can be enjoyed in Kindle Unlimited, paperback and hardback. Fire up your eReaders to a full charge! Go get them today!

Ready for Billionaire Alpha Heroes with Second Chances, Forbidden Romances, and Enemies to Lovers? Plus secrets that could break them apart with all the spicy goodness you could ever want? Your next binge reading is served!

Thank you Willow Winters and Ham Bright PR for an advanced copy of this set of 6 books and for my book-hangover this weekend.
