From USA Today bestselling author W Winters comes an emotionally captivating and thrilling, romantic suspense.
He holds a power over me like no one else ever could.
Maybe it’s because my heart begs to beat in time with his. Maybe it’s because my body bows to his and his alone. Maybe it’s because he thought he loved me before he even laid eyes on me.
He thought wrong, it wasn’t me he thought he loved, and nothing has made me suffer like that little secret has. He thought I belonged to him, but he was wrong. It was never supposed to be me.
Our memories are deceiving, but I know what I want now. What I need more than anything. I won’t rest until he’s as much mine as I am his. It’s always been him.
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!

Title: ➳ ❤ Endless Series ➳ Merciless Series 4# Author: ➳ Willow Winters ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
ღ I cannot even tell you how great this story is! This was one of those books that you couldn’t put down easily, it is well written & put together, the characters were so easy to fall in love ♥●• Qh k to be honest Aria was easy to fall in love… At times I had struggled with Carter.. He was one of those charters you love to hate
► I am struggling with my words, so my review doesn’t reveal anything that may be a spoiler.
I could say this is the conclusion to Carter & Aria’s story, but I would be lying cuz W Winter will slip these two into next series backstory ….Well I hope she does, ok ok I pray she does
While the ongoing war wages on & there are bloody bloodies on both sides of fence, Carter & Aria wages their owe war….Who will Aria be loyal to? Her family or her now love of her life? Will she choose Nikolai or Carter?
In conclusion I believe you’ll be like me, on the edge of my seat, rooting for your two favorite broken characters to survive their outcome together
Next up is Jase Cross & Bethany Fawn's story: A SINGLE GLANCE .
📚 Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion
➦ I received an EXCLUSIVE copy of this book in exchange for my honest review of it. 💕
I've just finished reading an early read of ENDLESS and OH MY FUCKING GOD. You're not going to believe how INTENSE, HEART POUNDING & AH-MA-ZING this book is. If you're wanting an EPIC, adventure filled ending then that's what you're going to get!
My heart pounded so fucking hard through this book. My breath was literally STOLEN from my lungs. The twists and turns are things you will NEVER see coming and they will BLOW YOUR MIND! I kid you not I was hanging off the end of my seat and breathing so damn hard and reading each page faster and faster than the last!
Carter is a BEAST. He's merciless, demanding and so freaking HOT!! Aria is BRILLIANT. Her strength shines so fucking bright in this book, I was cheering so loud for her!! Sebastian, MY MAN, is back and OMG I still love him so much. And Jase... I swear, EVERYONE is gonna want to read his story after reading Endless. He's going to draw you in and make you want so much more.
I swear to you Endless is EVERYTHING! Merciless is still 99c so snag that up RIGHT NOW, START your binge read and be ready for the most EPIC ENDING EVER!
This series is every single little thing!!! I was completely captivated from beginning to end! It’s Willow Winters at her finest!
Carter Cross was ready for business and boy did things get interesting in this final installment of the series! With his back against the wall, in terms of his business and his relationship, Carter has several decisions to make. The twists and turns were astounding. The action packed finale will leave you totally consumed and breathless.
This was everything I could want in a conclusion. This series really has created a whole world around the Cross brothers and their closes allies/enemies. One of my favorite aspects of this book is that all the characters actions made perfect sense to me. I could not predict what was going to happen or what they would do but what the did do was true to who they were. It made them seem real and therefore my connection to the story and the feelings it evoked was natural and strong. The focus is on Aria and Carter and the conclusion of their story. It was satisfying to say the least. It wraps up in a way that also doesn’t feel so final. I don’t feel as if this couple that I have followed for months now is just going to disappear and be forever forgotten. In this respect the title Endless is perfect. Aria is a bad b*tch…complicated and diverse, strong and weak, human. Carter is…well…Carter, intense and consuming. The other players. Addison, Daniel, Jase (who we get to know better), and the return of Sebastian all add to the story in a way that instead of making it more complicated just help snap the picture into focus. It is masterfully done. The story itself takes some crazy twists and turns that I did not see coming. However, they were not from left field and I did not feel like they were being thrown in to create more drama before some quick conclusion to this epic story. Instead every piece of the puzzle started to make more and more sense until finally there is a resolution. I started with Possessive and I was so excited for this series. I will admit I was impatiently waiting for this conclusion. After 4 books (6 if I include Possessive and A Kiss To Tell which I loved and add to the world even if they don’t have to be read with the series) I felt that I had invested so much time, energy, and emotion into this world that I had high expectations and desired an “ending” that made it all worth it. Worth it it was and then some. Sometimes I stumble onto a book and writing that blows my mind. Its something I cant put my finger on, how I can appreciate the story so much that I am willing to forgive characters for their flaws and the utter fictionality of a story because I want to know these people and live in their world even as a ghost through the pages of the book. Must Read and can not wait to see where Willow Winters takes the other brothers and characters in the future.
Well. Wow! Where do I even begin? Endless is the breath stealing, heart pounding, epic ending to the Merciless series! It is full of emotion. It is full of twists and turns. It is absolutely amazing! Each book in this series was better than the previous book, who would have thought that could happen? Aria is such a strong lady. And Carter? Wow. This whole series just blew my mind. Now I can’t wait for Jase’s story!!
The ending of Carter and Aria's story is epic!!!! It's breath taking and intense. So much is revealed and Aria has become so strong even if she doesn't realize it. Many twists and turns and Carter is so ruthless. Action is happening at every turn and emotions run high. This whole series has been truly amazing and I can't wait for Jase's story to see what happens next. A series that is not to be missed!!
OMG!! Willow Winters just ended the Merciless series and Carter and Aria's story so beautifully I could not have been more addicted!! It was sexy and so emotionalIy powerful that I was mesmerized by every word. I could not get enough!
This is the fourth and final book in the Merciless series and the saga that is Carter Cross and Aria Talvary. While the ongoing war wages on and bloodies the streets, inside the war between Carter and Aria and their internal struggles over love and loyalty remain. I have been so attached and committed to this series that this final book almost feels like a cathartic release. I loved Carter and Aria so much and their love and devotion to one another. But when loyalty to Carter and loyalty to the Talvary family come into question, Aria is forced to make a decision on which side she finally stands on.
I am OBSESSED with this series. Each word was threaded with so much emotion that I had a frog in my throat from the beginning right to the end. There was so much pain and turmoil between them that the climax in the war was a welcome relief to finally see the visceral pain between Aria and Carter come to some sort of resolution. And what a fiery explosion it was!! It was powerful, heartbreaking and ultimately love affirming as we see two people who are so damaged and broken find pieces of themselves in one another. She was the beauty who did the unthinkable and was the calming force that soothed the untameable beast! I seriously can not wait for Jase's book! Bravo! 5 stars! ~Ratula
Books that make my breathing erratic while my heart thumps in my chest as I read through the pages make my life worth living. I want a book to steal me away into a whole new world of exciting and unpredictable events. To say that Endless and all the books in the Merciless series did that would be hugely understated. Every chapter gave us more insight into the psyche of our beloved characters Carter and Aria. Every chapter had me reeling, the push and pull, love and hate, want and denial was so captivating. The story was full of exciting drama that tugged at my heartstrings.
Aria and Carter are destined to be, at least I think so. Their love and relationship may be twisted but it is theirs and it fits them perfectly. No two souls were ever more perfect for each other. Both were born to rule and finding out if they can change fate and turn tragic events around while learning how to make love be enough makes for such a fascinating story.
Endless has left me very satisfied with the culmination of the series and Willow has done a superb job of introducing more characters and exciting elements that will carry on in future books. Many shocking secrets were revealed in Endless and all these secrets open a whole new gamut of intriguing plot lines for Winters to dive into. I couldn’t be happier knowing we have not seen the last of the Cross brothers and their enemies and allies.
Staappp! * Me trying to convince my head to stop spinning after finishing Carter and Aria's epic tale *
Endless is the one I have been waiting for! My fellow readers- it was worth the wait. So. Many. Battles. Whether it be family, love, deception, body, soul or rightful place, the blood, sweat, tears and countless deaths that have come from the heartstopping war thats raged on is tragically magnificent emotional display all in itself. Add in Aria who is ready to battle the demons and take names... Woo! My fictional loving friends this book just got even better! Heart heavy, yet lit with danger and intrigue, I was on the edge of my seat, rooting for my two favorite broken characters rooting for their time to shine! What a time it was! Willow Winters is the wizard of messy hurt so good thrill rides! The PERFECT conclusion to Carter and Aria's story, you do not want to miss this!! If you haven't read Merciless, Heartless, and Breathless yet what are you waiting for? It's worth it in the end I promise!!
The conclusion to Carter and Aria’s story is breathtaking. Some many things come to light in this book. My heart breaks for Aria and the truths she learns. Carter shows uncontrolled passion in this book and I simply didn’t think I could like him more but he proved me wrong. This series is a must read. I cannot state that enough. Excellent writing with a storyline that I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around.
ENDLESS (Merciless Book 4) is the last book in the series, but is the absolute best book in the series. Merciless, Heartless, Breathless, lead up to Endless. But that this is the ending of the series that makes it the best book of the bunch. What an ending to the series. Willow has the most 'powerful' writing that I have read in I don't remember when. From page one till the dramatic end, this book held my attention.
Carter Cross and Aria Talvery were brought together in a very nontraditional way. Whatever it was their connection is real. Aria tries her hardest to reach Carter. Their families and pride may be at war, but not her heart. Not a thing that would change the feelings of that heart. Besides her hated last name, they were just two very broken people just trying to survive in a very violent world.
In the depths of her being, she knows Carter needs someone to love him and someone he can love in return. But he is a man in pain, and whether she can reach him or earn his trust is unsure. You will feel every emotion, all the angst, and turn every page to find out the next chapter. No one is perfect, you cannot change the past, but you can look forward. Even if their world is full of hatred and vengeance.
This is not the end of Carter and Aria. Their love story will show in the background of the next books in the Sinful Obsessions Series. I cannot wait for Jase Cross and Bethany Fawn's story: A SINGLE GLANCE.
The breath was literally knocked out of my pounding chest reading the last book of this amazing series. I find it difficult to express my feelings on how much I cherish this series. Carter and Aria have gone through hell and back to get to where they finally reach each other at the end of their journey. In my mind I fell to my knees for Carter from the first moment I met him in the pages of Merciless. That never faltered until the last moment he said his final words in this story.
I died a thousand deaths reading about Carter and Aria. In my mind, I kept saying over and over to Aria...."Don't be afraid to lose him because if a man truly loves you, he's not going anywhere". The two of them were destined to be together. As sad and heartbroken as I am to see the chapter close on Carter and Aria, I look forward to revisiting them in Jase's future story.
Wow! I loved staying on edge! So many twists that surprised me. What to believe? Can they trust? Will she choose Nicolai or Carter? Will Carter go through with his revenge? It’s so good and you’ll definitely want this book. It’s a great way to end this book. Looks like we get Jase’s story next and I can’t wait. I highly recommend this book.
Oh. My. Word. This series has been incredible from the very start so I had high hopes for the final book and boy did Willow deliver! I went through every emotion possible when reading this. It hurt. But my word was it worth it! I couldn't put it down. I read it cover to cover and still couldn't breathe after I finished. I am blown away. What a series! I love these characters. I feel like they are my family after reading all of their stories and I'm not ready to say goodbye. The emotion and passion that Willow writes into every page blows me away. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat and kept my heart racing. No one quite hurts your heart like Willow. An epic ending to a tremendous series. One that will stay with me for a very long time.
I’m speechless right now. I’ve been waiting for Endless and now that I’ve read it and I’m done, I need to pull myself together and review it. Carter and Aria have fought, argued, betrayal, lies and secrets, but that is nothing compared to what they will have to endure now. The pain Carter feels thinking she tried to run, the hurt Aria feels that he doesn’t believe her that she wasn’t. It’s really a battle of the wills, what do you believe, who do you believe? So many obstacles, you’re labeled a traitor because you love the man whose held you captive, falling for the enemy is never easy and leads to death and more death. Carter and Aria’s story is heart wrenching, rip you to pieces kind of love, love that’s so stifling you can’t breathe without the other person, a love so deep that you would die for each other without even thinking twice. Losing yourself to the one person who could break you, saying the words and longing to hear them back, but when they don’t come, how can you believe that you belong to him if he can’t come to terms with his feelings? Carter and Aria are two broken souls trying to claw their way back to have some sense of who they are now and who they were before, can these two find the love they need in each other or will this be the end of them? Carter and Aria’s story was amazing, I was blown away with the depth we were taken and feeling the pain and anguish they both felt, the desire, the want and need, the terror, the fear, knowing the worst has yet to come. Such an amazing series, I highly recommend that you do not pass this up, you won’t be disappointed.
The conclusion to Carter & Aria’s story put a wrecking ball through my heart in the most beautiful way. I held onto the tissue box the whole time I was reading this book. This author’s writing made me care so much & feel so much for these characters, & I got lost in the captivating world she created. I love a book series that consumes me, & this one did. If you love flawed characters that you care about & a story that will enthrall you like I do, then read this series! On a related note, I can’t wait for Jase’s story!
This was the shortest book in the Merciless series and I ended up finishing the book in an hour and I honestly don't have much to say on it.😅
This book wrapped up the story of Aria and Carter and I was kinda disappointed. I expected the final book to be booming and crazy especially leading up to the mafia war. However, that was definitely not the case. Everything was kinda lackluster and fizzled out before it could even get started.
I didn't really care for the constant push and pull and push and pull between Aria and Carter. It got annoying having to read 160 pages of both of them contradicting each other.
Overall, there really was nothing to this book and that sucks cause it had so much potential to be better. I don't know if I'll continue reading books by this author. Maybe I'll give them a shot one day, but it's definitely not something I'd go out of my way for.
Aria non sapeva più a chi credere né chi fosse il reale nemico. Di una cosa però era certa, amava Carter, anche se gli aveva dimostrato davanti a tutti di non essere dalla sua parte. Nel cuore della guerra, davanti ai fratelli Cross e al loro esercito, aveva tradito la sua fiducia.
Ma Carter era convinto che si sarebbe pentita di quella scelta e che non appena si fossero rivisti gli sarebbe corsa incontro, desiderosa di aggrapparsi a lui e confermare il suo amore. Ma non lo aveva fatto:
«La gelida realtà delle cose è cruda ed inconfutabile. Lei è ancora uno sbaglio: una droga da cui sono dipendente e che sta mandando in malora tutto quello per cui ho così strenuamente lavorato per quasi tutta la mia vita».
L’aveva desiderata con un tale ardore da scatenare una guerra per lei, e adesso…adesso non gli restava più nulla.
Aria aveva scelto di essere fedele alla sua famiglia e gli aveva anche puntato contro una pistola. Era chiaro a tutti che non voleva stare più con lui. Lui che era un uomo spietato, che fin dal principio aveva progettato di strapparla alla sua vita solo perché era figlia di suo padre. Avrebbe dovuto essere il suo salvatore, il suo cavaliere, invece aveva finito per diventare il cattivo della storia. Per questa ragione comprendeva la scelta di Aria di allontanarsi da lui, ma non l’avrebbe mai lasciata libera, mai. Perché l’usignolo gli apparteneva.
🖋️Siamo giunti al capitolo conclusivo della tormentata storia d’amore tra Aria e Carter, una fortunata serie che mi ha regalato forti emozioni, soprattutto quest’ultimo volume nel quale l’autrice ci presenta un Carter innamorato più che mai del suo usignolo. La desidera e la brama in un modo travolgente e passionale, che trascende quella tormentata e sanguinaria faida familiare che da sempre insegue.
Non c’è lotta, guerra o vendetta che possa eguagliare lo stupore e la gioia provata nel realizzare, giorno dopo giorno, quanto meraviglioso sia il sentimento dell’amore. Emozione unica e portentosa per Carter, che si avverte pagina dopo pagina.
Aria in alcuni momenti l’ho trovata troppo scoraggiata e frustrata, indecisa sul da farsi quando invece la risposta a tutti i suoi mille tormenti la portava già dentro di sé.
5 "Carter and Aria" 🌟 I was so excited for this conclusion. I was not sure how Aria and Carter would get their HEA. But damn Willow Winters just proved herself again with this mafia/forbidden romance. I was on edge throughout reading dreading what will happen now. Winters just gave me mini attack with her endings and eventually everything worked out. Most of all we get to see Sebastian in this one and that was really a treat. Aria as usual is my one of the favourite MC till now, she was just everything, I like in a MC, courageous, smart, emotional, full of love and determination and strength. Carter again took my breath away and how he was denying his love for Aria that was really painful. I loved how both characters were growing and consistency of plot was phenomenal. The writing was really flawless. Overall I am really happy with this final conclusion of Aria and Carter's story. P. S I am waiting for Jade's story and I am intrigued about Marcus.
Willow is a master of words. This was well worth the wait I am going through so many emotions right know. Thank you for the adventure that this series has taken me on. It was incredible
Endless is the flawless, emotional and enthralling conclusion to the Merciless Series.
As I was reading, I couldn’t help but draw a small parallel to Romeo and Juliet, believing that if their story had continued, it would’ve been exactly like Carter and Aria’s.
The stakes have never been so high. War is coming. It is all out war. Fighting for vengeance. For Family. For Love.
Carter and Aria will not be unaffected. As Carter prepares for war with the Talvery’s, Aria is waging a war on Carter to change his mind and his plans for her family. The biggest war of all however is for their love. Will it survive?
Carter has never been more heartless and cruel than in this book. He has also never been more loveable and swoon worthy.
Aria has never had so much backbone and grit.
This is the cherry on the proverbial cake of this series. I’m sad it’s over.
The Merciless Series is highly addictive filled with angst, love and all the feels you are looking for.
I’m eager to delve into and devour more of the Cross Brothers!
I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
The ending to Carter & Aria’s was everything I was hoping for. Carter & Aria’s Story was an emotional read and definitely will pull on your heartstrings. I love Carter & Aria and of course the Cross brothers and Carter & Aria’s ending was perfect. I’m so looking forward to Jase’s story next.
I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Omg, what can I say about this book is that it blow me away. I really enjoyed how their story ending even thought it played with my emotions. Not going give anything away since not out yet. Bit you want to read it along with the first 3 books of the series. More then 5 stars and cannot wait to see what next.🖤🖤🖤
I loved books 1 and 2. Not feeling the last 2. Especially this last one. The dark mafia, captive/submissive got lost to me. Extremely repetitive with the back and forth I love you but I can’t stay, she’s going to leave, I need you , she doesn’t love me, he doesn’t love me, he let me just leave. It drove me nuts. Wasn’t sure who loved who and who wanted to leave.
Honestly these two, Aria & Carter are their own worst enemies the pain and heartache they give each other about trust and love and was so back and forth and whatever else, just finally had me thinking I can’t wait for it to finish.
What an incredibly explosive, emotionally charged finale to Carter and Aria's incredibly story. There were times that my heart broke for Aria and Carter. I have loved this series, which has just gotten better and better. Endless is a incredibly well written, engaging, emotional book that stays with you after you finished reading. It has a intriguing explosive storyline, and contains action, heartbreak and tragedy that left me holding my breath reading as fast as I could. The characters of the Cross brothers are addictive, and the book leaves you wanting more. This all adds up to a brilliant book. Can't wait for Jase's story, plus after reading previous books, I'm desperately wanting more information on the enigma that is Markus.
This is the conclusion of Carter and Aria's story and holy cow what a ride! This is not a standalone, you must read the first 3 books before this one.
This book is intense, raw, heart breaking.. it is filled with secrets, betrayal, twist and turns. My heart was beating out of my chest the whole time. Aria has so much strength even if she isn't always aware of that strength. Carter is ruthless as always but there is a vulnerability to him in this book.
Willow has definitely out done herself with this book, it is well written, exciting and a perfect conclusion to Aria and Carter's story. I am excited to read more from this world and learn more of the Cross brothers
Wow!!!!! I’m in love with Carter and Aria story !!!!! Every book had gotten better and better and I swear Endless has blown my mind!!!! I love how much they love one another!!! Very amazing series !!!!! Definitely a must read !!!
