Description

I was born into luxury and used to getting what I wanted. 
What I desired most, with my life in disarray, was the man who sat across from me. 
He was tall, dark and handsome, but, most notably, forbidden.  

It made every accidental touch more sinful and every session more addictive. 

There was so much tragedy and he was supposed to fix me.
I shouldn’t have wondered how it would feel to be trapped under his broad shoulders. 
I shouldn’t have focused on the way he licked his bottom lip every time his gaze dropped from mine and roamed my curves.
I shouldn’t have dreamed about him breaking the rules to comfort me the way I desperately needed. 

I did though, and I was the first one to break. 

He was my protector and my confidant and then he became my lover.
I teased him, tempted the two of us and now there’s no way to take it back. 
With everything I've been through, I didn’t expect to fall for him. 
There’s only so much heartache I can take.
This is book 2 in the Love The Way You series. Book 1, Kiss Me, must be read first.

    The smoking hot story of Ella and Zander continues and goes deeper and darker. I wasn’t prepared to like these characters more than I did in the first book, but they are brought to new levels. I can’t wait to see what is next for them and am left unsure if they will ever get the HEA they deserve. All in all I have to say they grow on me the further their tale unfolds.

    Book 2 picks up right where Kiss Me ended. Zander and Ella don’t have a normal relationship. It’s complicated, emotional, and misunderstood. Going in you already know that Book 3 is coming, but that ending made me want to throw my kindle. I was not prepared for it.

    Holy crow!! Amelia and Willow are doing such a fantastic job with Zander and Ella’s story. It is beautiful, yet heart wrenching. In this one we see more of Zander and Ella’s past. Both have something very terrible happen to them and they both blame themselves with what happened to those they loved. Zander and Ella may be the only ones to help the other heal. My emotions are all over the place after reading this book and I can’t wait until the conclusion. That ending was jaw dropping and eye popping. This is a do not miss. You do need Kiss Me first though. Let me tell you, this story is worth all the tears you will shed.

    This is book 2 of the LOVE THE WAY series. I received an ARC copy. The story continues with the D/s relationship between Ella and Zander. Ella had just been transferred from a psych facility into the custody of "The Firm" security/new psych therapy business for which Zander works. In book 1, Kiss Me, Zander learns that Ella had a D/s relationship with her deceased husband and feels that Ella will best heal under his care as a Dom. Book 2 continues with this preface and begins to answer questions that were left unanswered in book 1. Along the way, their relationship begins to turn more romantic, leaving Zander questioning his true feelings for Ella (as he has had a sad relationship past as well). As they begin to learn more about each other, will they be able to continue turning this D/s relationship to a forever love. The book ends with a cliff hanger that leaves you wanting to read book 3. Its a different story, but I found that the more I read Ella and Zander's story, I became more entranced. Pick up this series. You will be glad you did.

    HOLD ME is the second book of Love The Way series. This is a continuation of Ella and Zander’s story. What I can I say, Ella and Zander are full of surprises—I was flabbergasted with the unexpected revelations that happened! This story will keep you on the edge of your seat to find out what happened next in this heart-pounding and dark romance. Not all of its surprises are pleasant ones, but there is a certain satisfaction in experiencing a thread that is so obstinately unexpected. This book is emotionally tumultuous, heart-wrenching, indelible, guttural with gritty real issues that are addicting. This story is so intriguing with its twists and turns—some you see coming, some you don’t. With all the things going on with Zander and Ella, I was holding my breathe because it was a tangled mess of emotions along with lies and secrets. I felt everything that Ella was going through down in my soul. I was captivated from start to finish! What will Zander do to bring Ella out of her darkness? Will their unconventional relationship last? What happens next? Willow Winters has constructed a deliciously dark and intriguing romance that will lure you into the wee hours and beyond that you will not be able to pt this book down. You won’t regret reading Hold Me!

    Zander and Ella’s forbidden romance continues in book 2 of the Love The Way trilogy. It was an emotional roller coaster ride w/suspense, betrayal and many twists and turns. Couldn’t put it down. Cant wait for the conclusion of Zander and Ella’s story.

    The dance continues continues and you get lost in it. Lost in the complicated steps that go along with seduction and sex snd trying to hold onto your mental health. Smooth steps and ones that falter. You can almost hear the music that goes along with it in the background that sometime skips a beat. Just like Ella as she fights to get back to herself while she leans into this new self with Z. But when she falters and falls…I am left desperation waiting for the next book. The last book. I want it but don’t want it to end. It isn’t a fairytale but once you’re in it, you wouldn’t want it any other way.
  • Smoking hot. Awesome story!

    Smoking hot! This picks up the literal minute that Kiss Me ends! I felt everything with this book! It’s impressive writing to tackle a very tough subject, mental illness. It doesn’t gloss over it. You’re in it. And Zander is sooooo everything. I love Ella as well! I. Cannot. Wait. For. The. Conclusion. Highly recommend

    This starts where Kiss Me ended. Zander broke his oath to The Firm and slept with Ella. These characters and storyline will pull at your heartstrings, is intense and has twists you won't see coming. I can't wait for the next book in this series to find out what will happen with Zander and Ella.

    Gahhhh!! This keeps you guessing at times (well me) and on edge (me again) and completely sucked in so you don’t even realize you hit the end of the book!! And that’s when you scream (or, again, that was me). Zander & Ella have totally sucked me into their word. I love Zander, and I feel for Ella. And as I’m reading thinking it’s a duet, I hit the end and realize it’s a trilogy! I need the end!!!
