By 9 Comments

Kasi is looking for this one! ARRANGED MARRIAGE ALERT and it could very well be infuriating!!

She asks:

Umm I found this feed where someone was looking for a book on someone else’s behalf and even I got interested in the plot.

I don’t think there are any spoiler’s tho but if there are any please forgive me in advance

The plot from what that person remembers goes like this:

He burns her house down with her father in it as a child. He’s a bad man and a mafia boss. She’s placed in an asylum until 18 when she’s forced into marriage to the new bosses son. read more

W. Winters – Merciless Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

The series is complete and Nancy LOVED it!

Nancy: 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. That this is the thrilling ending of the series is what makes it the best book of the bunch.
What an ending to the series! Willow Winters 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.
