About this ebook

From USA Today best-selling romance author Willow Winters comes an emotionally gripping, romantic suspense.

It was only a little lie.

That’s how stories like these get started.

With every lie I told, he saw right through me.

I think in his heart he knew I was broken; he felt my pain as if it was his.

And that’s what changed everything.

He’s the reason it all fell apart.

Sometimes it’s a single moment that alters everything in existence.

Sometimes it’s the chain reaction of falling dominoes, lined up in pretty little rows and designed so that each one will cause more and more pain as it topples.

In a single day, everything changed, and there’s no way to go back.

I didn’t know what would happen. Secrets and lies ruin everything and I should have known better.

For the first time in I don’t know how long, I wish I could take it back. I’d take every bit of it back if I could just be with him again.

“I was captivated from the very beginning, and I couldn’t let go until the very end. Winters wove an outstanding tale, which has an even better message within its pages.” – Kendra, Reads and Treats

Ratings and reviews

SHE ASKED FOR IT has a grim mystery to it so don't let the title fool you. A thought-provoking story that seized my full attention from the start; could not stop reading until the end. An unconditional love story about two people who find each other but a clouded past threatens to crush the sunlight they could have. The reality of this story pawed at my heart to empathize with Allison and Dean; misty eyed was I visualizing certain scenes as they played out and cheered in delight at the conclusion of their story too! Inside; suspense, family drama, bleeding-heart moments, action, humor, powerful vivid scene descriptions, and fiery passionate sensuous romance. Dean and Allison meet at college; Dean's come-hither looks and provocative innuendos melt Allison but she plays hard to catch which only makes him want her more. The shadows of Allison's past wreak havoc with her heart. Emotions skyrocket as Dean continues his chase to capture the woman who holds his heart. The two do get their happy ending but getting there is quite a whirlwind story. RELISHED this engrossing story and I applaud the author for writing it. Behind the blazing hot romance is quite an impressive story. I adored Allison and Dean together as they do make a perfect match. There is another character that I was also truly fond of; Daniel one of Dean's friends; as I see him as the voice of reason. The author shows that trust and honesty are pivotal in a lasting relationship. A most gratifying read; a story to be talked about and a fabulous book for a reader's library. I loved this story so much {I volunteered to review an advanced copy.} Without reservations, I recommend this read.

When your life mission is driven from pure revenge, what happens when life throws a curveball and your once thought out plan takes another direction? Allison is set on taking down the one who changed her life forever. Once upon a time when she was free to explore the world with no worries or regrets. It's funny how one night can change it all, sending Allison's life into a tailspin. How that one night changed not only her best friend Sam's life but Allison's as well. Dean had a rough life. Losing his father was painful, but watching his mother move on so quickly was even worse. Anger, that is what fueled him day in and out. Unable to control his impulses he lashed out on anyone around him. Not feeling loved by his own mother left a gaping hole in his heart and that hole just grew larger and larger feeding the anger more and more. His only choice was to leave, leave his home and be on his own. Might as well since all his mother cared about was herself. When a girl set out for revenge meets a boy who feels unloved, their relationship is doomed from the start. Allison wasn't expecting Dean, and Dean wasn't expecting to fall so hard for Allison. As much as Allison fought her attraction to Dean, the harder she fell. He wasn't supposed to be part of the equation. She had a plan and Dean was interfering with it. Dean didn't want to let Allison in because letting her in made him vulnerable. He was already programed in believing that he couldn't be loved, so letting his guard down would only prove that true once again. But what the heart wants is what the heart gets. In the end, Allison games end up hurting the Dean the most. The one man that accepted her for who she was and loved her unconditionally. She Asked for It was heart wrenching, provocative, dark, vulnerable, dramatic and emotional. Willow Winters blew me away with this one and I get excited waiting to see what else she will come up with for her next book. Phenomenal, writing, story and author! Thank you once again Willow Winters!

Every once in awhile I come across a book that has a little something extra and special about it. I found that true with Little Liar. First it has everything you could want from a romance. Truly! The love and conflict are there with this added drama of how and why is Dean on trial. The world could use a bit more men like Dean in it! The extra and special comes in the message within the story. Its an important one and one I appreciate. I like Ms. Willow Winters wish a certain four-word statement didn’t exist, but you will have to read the book yourself as I unfortunately know people who come down on both sides of the statement. I am grateful for this read and for the ability to gain an additional perspective, learn something about myself, and maybe not feel so alone in the battlefield of life. “There’s something about knowing other people’s s*** that comforts me. Like if they can go through all that and come out okay, then maybe I’ll be alright. It’s why I like to read thrillers and dark romances. No matter how bad it gets, when it ends, usually there’s a happily ever after.”

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!
