A Kiss to Tell
A Kiss to Keep
It started with a kiss. A single kiss that shook me to my core. A kiss to silence me, and a kiss to numb the pain.
I took his hand and in turn, he took me away. I thought when we ran away, we’d never have to look back.
I was wrong.
I think Sebastian knew, and so did I, that he’d be pulled back into this life one day. There was no way we could have gotten our happily ever after. Scars don’t ever fully go away, and this sinful place is etched into our flesh.
I don’t know how I’ll ever forgive him for bringing me back here. Even when he kisses me the way he does… no kiss can take away this pain.
He’s still my everything, but I don’t know how we’ll survive this.

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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐
ღ A Kiss to Keep, Is super short read, it’s just glimpse in to Chloe & Sebastian's story.
💕 I must warn you if you haven’t read A Kiss to Tell, you’ll be pretty much lost
You’ll find that after all these years Sebastian’s loyalty to the Cross brothers is still very strong, but most importantly you’ll find that Sebastian’s loyalty to his wife is even stronger & so many secrets were revealed in this tiny book between this couple
This wasn't what I thought it be , but it was still good quick read
➦📚 Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion & my honest review 💕 Also I wouldn’t discourage anyone from reading this book!

The day Sebastian took me away from all the pain/nightmares was the day we ran away together. Now here we are a decade later returning to the one place I hate the most. The loyalty he has for Carter Cross/Cross brother is undeniable, I believe he regretted the day he left Carter behind, however will it be the one thing that drives us apart or bring us together?

Beautiful story about a solid relationship working through a bump in the road. Communication and trust at its finest.

It was such a sweet story! Even though in the beginning I had a bit trouble liking Sebastian. But with how fast it goes I liked him pretty quickly.
It made me intrigued to the start and journey of their story!

Such a perfect short book for Chloe and Sebastian. This is how much I would have liked to love their first book, but I’m honestly still just as obsessed because I love this entire world. These two are just so sweet and I’m glad to have read books of their own.

Safe book.
A follow up of A Kiss To Tell.
Pretty Short and okay.
It was a little disappointing that they STILL did not have kids in epilogue.
But I guess, they were looking over there shoulders all the time , so it was maybe unsafe to have kids.

This was an ehh Audio the narration was meh.. didn't truly care... i think i rated it low since this was a already couple from a pervious book i honestly thought this was a standalone..guess not.... so maybe i have to read it to really get into this book.. maybe ill do that and maybe my rating would change? Or not..
Idk.. we shall see.

This read gives us more in Chloe and Sebastian’s story. I admit I was a bit curious on how Chloe felt coming back to a town she never wanted to see even if it was Carter needed Sebastian by his side. It was great getting more of their feels with so much going on in the Cross brothers’ story. I loved it. I do recommend reading a Kiss to Keep for best enjoyment. I loved it!

I originally heard this story on a podcast and loved it. Reading it was just as much fun. It is a continuation of A Kiss to Tell, but this story features Sebastian and Chloe, and their relationship. They return back to the home town that they left behind years ago and some truths and secrets are brought to light. It was a quick read, which I didn't mind. It's one of the biggest things I love about Willow Winters, she always knows how to bring the heat, the angst, and all-round depth into a story, no matter the word count, and this short read gave me all that. It was easy flowing and it held my attention from the start right to the end, even with the fact that I had already heard this story before, it was as good as the first time. I love the world Willow had bought to life, and how she entwines them together. It brings it more to life and it's a world I love investing my time, heart and love into.
As always, Willow. An outstanding read!
5 STARS!

Really didn't enjoy this. If it had been clear it was a check in with an established couple, and you needed to have read their book first, it might have been okay. Absolutely is not a standalone, and the story is choppy

Bastian and Chloe!!!!! One of my favorite Winter's couples have a new short. Originally part of a podcast, this novella is now coming to us in e-book edition. I loved it so much. This novella shows that this couple still very much owns my heart. I loved that it was real, raw, shows us the unconditional love that each of this couple feels for each other.
Willow Winters just has a way of writing the stories that grip you. Even in this short story, she has given us every single thing we crave in her novels. I love love loved it!!!
This is my voluntary arc review

I enjoyed this much more after I read A Kiss to Tell which is the beginning of Chloe & Sebastian's story. I totally suggest reading that first then listen to this story on the Read Me Romance podcast. It also made me want to dive into Carter's story in Merciless.
This specific video review will be included in the May 2019 wrap-up.

First time read by Willow Winters and certainly not the last. My new book boyfriend is officially Sebastian after devouring this novel. It was intensely possessive. Alluring. And spell binding.
The chemistry, that eery plot, those wicked twists, everything was incredible. Even the side characters didn't disappoint. I was so happy to see read this book. It gave me thousands of tiny butterflies all throughout. The way Sebastian cared for his girl, gahh. He was too gone for her. Every insecurity, every tear belonged to him. He was solely hers as she was his! Willow creates a fantasy magical world of romance where you easily get lost and never wish to return back.
Atleast that happened with me.

A Kiss to Keep is a novella by Willow Winters that provides just enough about Sebastian and Chloe's story to get you hooked! I know that it is recommended to read A Kiss to Tell first, but I found you get enough of a glimpse to compel you to read more.
This was a quick read, but I loved every second of it. Communication is the key to this couple's success. I can't wait to dive into this Merciless World!
A Kiss to Keep by Willow Winters is an EPIC read that will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

I really loved this little snippet into Sebastian and Chloe’s life. It’s placed many years after A Kiss To Tell. They are back to where it all began and it brings us right to Carter Cross’s life. I loved that many things Chloe “didn’t know about” came to light and Sebastian had a huge weight lifted off his shoulders from his past and things he was trying to keep secret from Chloe. I love them together and can’t wait to see what Willow brings us next!!

This quick novella delves deeper into the relationship between Sebastian and Chloe.
I really enjoyed it. You can feel the love between them but you also see the vulnerability of both of them in their relationship. The secrets and half truths are taking their toll on the both of them.
Chloe comes off aggressive and stand offish but it's understandable. She loves Sebastian, no matter what. And she wants clarity and transparency in their relationship.
Sebastian is trying, in his own way, to protect Chloe. And he is terrified of what will happen if the truth comes out about who he really is and what he really does.
I couldn't put this down once I started and it made me love these two characters all the more!
Well done Ms. Winters!

Egh, I don't like it when books for the podcast aren't actually standalones. The story and this couple felt disjointed to really enjoy this story. I found myself zoning out while listening.

***Read Me Romance***
Totally lost me. Giving us novellas from an ongoing story isn't fair to us who haven't read the other books. Waste of my time. This happened to me with another RMR podcast, but at least I'd read the first book...but not the others yet. I'm finding listening & rating these RMR stories is bringing down my GR rating average. I've rarely rated one higher then 3 stars.

Eh, just ok...nothing here really grabbed me. I spent the first few days having no clue what was going on, and then not caring overmuch when they revealed more of the details. I listened more out of habit than anything else.

- extended epilogue

This answered a few of the questions I was left with at the end of A Kiss To Tell!
I like how the way its written its ok if you read it before you read about Carter and Aria but now I'm even more intrigued.
I need to read the rest of Merciless world.

I love the ReadMe Romance podcast and absolutely adore/love everything that Willow Winters writes, but for some reason I just couldn’t connect with these characters. Maybe I should’ve read A Kiss to Tell before listening to this one.

Getting a glimpse back into the lives of Chloe and Sebastian and a micro why and where they are now is what you’ll receive in reading this novella. Small things were linked together. I enjoyed the heart to heart they had and the love they have for one another. Catching up on a favorite couple is always a highlight.
