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!

'Short, but sweet. Willow Winters delights with a series of short stories, prequel & extended story reads in this cover-stunningly topped collection' - The British Bibliophile

Thank you to Wildfire Marketing Solutions for sending me an ebook Advanced Reader Copy for me to read and leave an honest review

NOTE - I have read some of these books previously prior to this collection's release, so I have read the ones I had yet to read and have reviewed those. Ones I have previously read are marked as such.


One Kiss Isn't Enough is the newest title of a series of collected short stories, prequel and extended story reads by Willow Winters. A few of these titles have been included from when they were previously released, along with a few new ones.

Titles in this collection include:

• Then You Kissed Me (4 Stars) Previously read & rated

• Falling At First Sight (4 Stars) Previously read & rated

• A Little Bit In Love With You (4 Stars)
Short but sweet prelude into the full-length novel that is ‘A Little Bit Dirty’, providing a slither of an insight into Asher’s home/family life, Bri’s insecurities and love for Asher. Though it was short, it was sweet and of course, Willow managed to sneak in a steamy session between the two which I loved! Tension between the two main characters with the possibility of something going wrong. They’ll have to work for their happily ever after, enduring a little heartbreak first.

• All I Want Is A Kiss (3 Stars) Previously read & rated

• Just A Little Crush (5 Stars)
A genuinely enjoyable short story, cutting out all of the drama and will-they-won’t they that a normal, full-length romance novel has. Friends-to-lovers done right and as a person who isn't really into the trope as much as others, I was very impressed with how Willow wrote this short story. Brief, steamy, sexy. Happily ever after. My clear favourite out of all of the short stories. Aubree and Jackson are a top-tier couple.

• Pretend You Love Me (4 Stars)
Short, dark romance with a mafia undertone. Where as its not as heavy on the mafia trope as a full-length novel would be, it is there and I'm living for it. For me, this short story gave off the 'If I can’t have you, then no one can' vibes, and that is so not a complaint because at the end of the day, there's a happily ever after, after tragedy for a mother, her baby and her man.

• A Kiss To Keep (3.5 Stars)
-Recommended to read ‘A Kiss to Tell’ first, as this short story is an extended read of that
-Relationship on the rocks. This is a short story that shows a return to the mafia world in which both main characters previously escaped/left. Placing the main characters back into perilous, uncomfortable situations is an interesting choice and a bold move on Willow's part, though not a bad one. It just means that despite the MMC hiding something from the FMC--and her feelings being hurt in the process-, they'll have to work hard for the happily ever after they know they deserve.


• Seductive (4 Stars)
Recommended to read ‘Possessive’ first, as this short story is an extended read of that (I have read Possessive). This is a short story where the pasts of both the main characters come back to haunt them. The FMC is struggling, while the MMC is angry and concerned. Eventually, something will have to give and hopefully it will make them stronger as a couple, rather than tear them further apart. The women surrounding the FMC are strong, supportive of one another--we love a good support system while the FMC still remains strong herself and at the end of this short story, she is standing equal with her man & is accepting of the situation she finds herself in.


It's clear that out of all of these short stories, I have a least and most favourite. The least favourite one, however, doesn't mean that I dislike it simply because it is the one with the lowest star rating. It means that out of all of the short stories, that is the one that did it for me the least but nonetheless, I still found it an enjoyable read.

My favourite out of these surprised me, as anyone who knows me knows that I love a dark, mafia romance. I was expecting to like that one the most but my favourite pleasantly surprised me. I would happily read a full-length novel of that kind. It was a previous release on its own as a co-write with Amelia Wilde, now going under its own steam as a Willow Winters short story. I could fully get behind seeing more of these two should Willow ever decide to do a full-length novel which incorporates the events of this short story, in it.

Would recommend this short story collection to anyone who is looking for the very definition of 'a little bit of everything'. There's something here for everybody. From already firm-favourite tropes and genres, to ones that are unfamiliar that could become your latest bookish favourite. Give it a go and see where this collection takes you.

ARC Review:

I have never read a book quite like this before! It is a series of 8 short stories that captivate the readers with all different types of love. If you like quick and easy reads that captivate you and increadibly diverse from one another definitely give Willow Winters a shot. I found it so interesting and enjoyable how each story was less than 50 pages but answered all questions I had and gave me everything I wanted for each and every story.

This was my first book by her and I was not disappointed!! I love finding and reading new authors (especially those who are on my TBR already). I’m excited to read other Willow Winter books because of how easy it was to enjoy all the different stories and feel tons of different emotions throughout all of them!

A Wonderful Collection Of Short Stories
“It started with a kiss”

“He’s Forbidden, Dangerous and Everything Bad For Me.”

“Men Like Him Need To Be Loved Or The Damage Will Consume Them.”

-Then You Kissed Me (5 Stars)
This is a little taste of what is to come in next years release of Tequila Rose. A prelude if you will of how Brody meets “Rose” in a bar one night. Very short but enticing.

-Falling At First Sight (5 Stars)
Autumn Holloway’s group of single moms love her son’s teacher, Trent Morgan. To her, he is off limits but sometimes we cannot control what the heart wants over our heads. An adorable and sweet single mom/single dad romance novella. This has a connection to the upcoming Tequila Rose but can be read as a stand-alone. Told in dual POV

-All I Want Is A Kiss (4 Stars)
Every year Olivia comes to town for a conference and to meet up with Nicholas. They aren’t a couple but maybe this time will be different. A spicy short story about taking a chance at love.

-Just A Little Crush (4 Stars)
Jackson had a crush on his sister’s friend, Aubree for a long time. Timing never worked out but maybe that is about to change. A sweet, friends to lovers novella.

-Pretend You Love Me (3 Stars)
A dark revenge novella between Connor Walsh and the one that got away. This was a short read with mafia vibes. Told in dual POV

-A Kiss To Keep (5 Stars)
This is a little extra from Sebastian & Chloe’s dark romance from a kiss to tell. One kiss is where it began but will it be enough? A story of trust even in darker times. “It started with a kiss.” Part of the Merciless World.

-Seductive (5 Stars)
This is a little extra to Addison & Daniel’s Story from The book Possessive. Part of the Merciless World. “He’s Forbidden, Dangerous and Everything Bad For Me.” Can love conquer all when the mafia is all you know?

Not really a fan of short, mixed stories 🤷‍♀️

-Then You Kissed Me-
Short but sweet introduction to the Tequila Rose series.

-Falling at First Sight-
Another fast story. Autumn and Trent are both single parents who were too shy to start something until now. They had really good time together with promising future. Also, it doesn’t hurt that their kids are good friends too.

-A Little Bit in Love With You-
Nothing special. Feels like it was taken out from middle of the book.

-All I Want is a Kiss-
It was ok.

-Just a Little Crush-
Not a bad read. Aubree and Jackson’ story was sweet, little spicy and a little cheesy „school” romance.

-Pretend You Love Me-
It was ok but too short. Madelyn and Connor’s story was not what I expected. I was a little surprised that they knew each other in the past.

-A Kiss to Keep-
Chloe and Sebastian’s story was the best so far in this collection. I like it how they love each other with all those secrets hanging around.
Definitely I need to find a time to finally read their story.

-Seductive-
I haven’t read Addison and Daniel’s story yet but looks like it will be more complicated than other brothers. Also, Addison’s story is a little bit of a mystery here. I need to find a time to read about them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Loved this! I binged it in a day. It was a collection of short stories that either introduced a couple or series, or continued on a story (without having to read the original one). It hooked me and made my tbr way longer because now I want to read about all the books and characters referenced in this!!

Each story was unique and in only a few chapters you felt a lot of angst, emotions, and heat!!

Willow Winters is quickly becoming a fave!

A collection of short stories😍

I have read a few of these over the years, apart from three shorts in this collection. They were fresh and new and able to fully pull me in to the romances. There is a variety of stories with many different tropes to whet your whistle.

An enjoyable collection and would definitely recommend a read❣️

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily leave my honest review🫶

A fun collection of short stories which are all very very good! Almost all of them are prequels or sequels to other books or series from Willow Winters which is perfect in case you can’t get enough of the characters! The short stories are also different kinds of smutty romances! Some are cute, some a bit darker but very smutty. Would defenitely recommend this one!

So this was my first dive into the world of Willow Winters and I’m so glad I did!

This series of short stories highlights all different types of love and all are special in their own way. What I really liked about this is the fact I could step away and come back to the collection when I was in need of a quick, good love story.

Each story brought something different to the table but each story had something in common- each was able to bring the emotion. The stories were thought provoking and had depth.

The writing was great and I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys solid, quick, love stories!

I couldn’t stop reading this Book filled full of collections of different stories. Every time I ended one I had to go find the original story that it was tied to if there was one to download to add to my reading list which is already largely over stocked with the winters as a good job of keeping you entertained from, simple kisses to spicey. This group of stores is a wonderful way to be introduced to this author if you’ve never ready her before. Can’t wait to read the books attached to these wonderful stories.

Wow! I absolutely loved these short stories. Amazing characters and wonderful plots. Very beautifully written and easy to read.

This is a collection of amazing short stories. They are all different but wonderful all the same. From dark and intense, to light and heartwarming. I had a pallet of emotions. From dark romance, to sweet love stories. They all captivated me beyond words.

Overall I loved this collection very much. If you’re a fan of short stories then you’re going to love it.

I love a good short story! But unfortunately, this fell a bit flat for me. I loved all the characters and the chemistry between them, but you don’t get their full stories. It’s like this book is ten prequels to ten romance books. You’re left with being disappointed at the end of each one. I would’ve preferred ten short stories where they all end with HEAs.

Thank you to Wildfire Marketing Solutions for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A lovely collection of short stories that I wish were full-length novels. Each story was so amazing, and I was hooked on each one. This is my first introduction to Willow Winters' stories, and now I need to go back and read the entire backlist. Falling At First Sight is my favorite story from this collection, and it made me swoon immediately! Overall, this is an excellent compilation of sweet and spicy reads. I will say that some are connected to previous stories, so I was a bit lost, but overall, they were all great!

Love this collection of short stories from willow winter! There is a little something for everyone whether you like lighter or darker romance. My personal fave was “a kiss to keep” because I love to walk on the darker side and the chemistry between our couple was strong. This collection gives you just a taste of willow’s writing and I recommend reading the connected books for any story that you enjoyed!

One Kiss Isn’t Enough is a compilation of short stories that will have you flipping the pages so quick. Now while I have read WW before she’s still a fairly newer author to me. This book had a variety of short stories that ranged from sweet, sexy and sassy to dark, and intense. The stories were perfectly written and gave the depth needed to capture your emotions. These stories will give you an intro or wrap up to the different worlds that WW has created. Great read.

I just finished One Kiss Isn’t Enough by @willowwintersshouldbewriting and the title pretty much sums up my thoughts of this collection. I would rate this a Freshly Squeezed (4🍋) with an added Jalapeño (2.5🌶️) level of spice.

The top themes and tropes are:
🍋Small Town Romance
🍋Friends to Lovers
🍋Second Chance
🍋Teacher/Parent
🍋Dark Romance
🍋Mafia Romance
🍋Abduction
🍋Enemies to Lovers

I loved the chance to read a mix of preludes, prequels and short stories that leave me wanting so much more. I’m so glad I got a chance to read this collection. I found this to not only keep my mood reader attention, but also put certain books at the top of my radar.Small Town Big Rumors: The Tequila Rose Duet

If you are looking for a few new books to read this summer, I suggest starting with this collection to whet your appetite. A special thanks to Willow Winters and @wildfiremarketingsolutions for a chance to read this collection.

Then You Kissed Me is a Freshly Squeezed (4🍋) teaser with a Jalapeño (2.5🌶️) level of spice.

A seductive tease to the Tequila Rose Series (aka Small Town Big Rumors: The Tequila Rose Duet), which I read this collection earlier this year. Here we get Brody’s POV to meeting “Rose” aka Magnolia for the first time. His morning after, alone, leaves him only wanting more. Please read the Tequila Rose series. If you’d rather read a collection it’s called Small Town, Big Rumors.

Falling at First Sight is a Freshly Squeezed (4🍋) treat with a Jalapeño (2🌶️) level of spice.

Autumn is a shy single party to Henry. She has had a crush on Mr. Trent Morgan. With the added excuses of her friend, Shannon, calling dibs, plus Trent being her son’s teacher and their sons being best friends, she knows he crush isn’t going to go anywhere. Only the crush doesn’t seem at all one sided and he doesn’t seem to be giving up.

Trent was taught a valuable lesson from his father, “love is in the details. Small gifts that bring memories will go a long way.” It seems he has been taking notes for he last year alone. I just wish there was more of these two.

A Little Bit In Love With You is a Freshly Squeezed (4🍋) teaser with a Jalapeño (2🌶️) level of spice.

A intense teaser to A Little Bit Dirty has left me craving more from Bri and Asher. They seem to have the underlying love part of their relationship down pat, but the communication seems to be apart where they struggle. I will have to see where they go in A Little Bit Dirty.

All I Want Is A Kiss is a Freshly Squeezed (4🍋) treat with a Jalapeño (2🌶️) level of spice.

“It’s not supposed to hurt, when you keep yourself at a distance and make sure the relationship is casual.”

Olivia and Nick have such an interesting dynamic. They seem to toe the line between friends with benefits and a couple. Their story is a cute quick read I would love to get lost in.

Just a Little Crush is a Freshly Squeezed (4🍋) short with a Jalapeño (2.5🌶️) level of spice.

Aubree and Jackson have always given off the flirtatious will they won’t they vibes. This sweet contemporary romance reminds me of Knocking Boots. I loved this and the bit of spice is just chef’s kiss.

Pretend You Love Me is a Freshly Squeezed (4🍋) novella with a Poblano (3🌶️) level of spice.

“I will ruin you for everyone else, but I intend for you to enjoy every moment.”

Oh my, I didn’t think the story was going to go that way. I loved it. I’m wondering if there will be any crossover in other books. Connor and Madelyn are such an interesting pairing and I just wish we had more.

A Kiss to Keep is a Lip Smacking (5🍋) teaser with a Jalapeño (2.5🌶️) level of spice.

It is suggested that you read A Kiss to Tell before this short story, but it can be read on its own. I read it as a “standalone” and something about Chloe and Sebastian’s story that just hit me in all the feels. I glad to find out there is more to discover in this Merciless world.

Seductive is a Lip Smacking (5🍋) teaser with a Jalapeño (2🌶️) level of spice.

Like A Kiss to Keep, this is an extension of Possessive, but can be read on its own. While I want to read Possessive this year, I decided to rad this first. Addison and Daniel’s story is apart of the Merciless world much like Chloe and Sebastian’s. In some instances it seems as if these two couples, or at least the women, have a lot in common as they both never thought they would end up back in this dangerous world. I can’t wait to read more of their story, especially since they have to face a lot of struggles. My heart goes out to them.

All in all I would recommend this collection for those who are being introduced to Willow Winters and her amazing characters. This gives everyone a taste of her works and help you find your next read.

One Kiss Isn't Enough is a new collection by Willow Winters. It contains eight novellas, showcasing all different genres and tropes, and it was such a delightful read. In case you can't get enough of the characters, almost all of them are prequels or sequels to other books or series by Willow Winters! However, if you haven't read the corresponding books, some are a little difficult to understand. I really enjoyed reading this, and some stood out more than others. My all time favourite from this collection is 100% Just a Little Crush; it ticked all the boxes of a great novella for me and was just such a fun read.


Then You Kissed Me - ⭐⭐⭐

Then You Kissed Me serves as a brief prequel to the full-length novel Tequila Rose, a one-night stand turned second chance romance. This brief but seductive read explains how Rose and Brody met. This is a fast-paced novel that can be a little choppy at times, but the characters were compelling, and the cliff-hanger left you wanting to read the first book right away.

"Four years ago, I decided to get over one man, by getting under another. A single night and nothing more."


Falling at First Sight - ⭐⭐⭐

Falling at First Sight is an eight-chapter small-town romance about a single mother who falls for her son's teacher. Not only is that forbidden, but her best friend claimed first dibs. This was a cute romance, and I really enjoyed reading about Autumn and Trent navigating their feelings for each other. However, it feels as if I blinked and it was all over. I know it was only a novella, but I felt like the book ended too soon, and there was more of their story to tell. I just wish there had been more of Trent and Autumn; perhaps Willow will write about them again in the future.

"He may be my son’s teacher … but there’s no doubt that Trent Morgan could teach me a thing or two."


A Little Bit in Love With You - ⭐⭐⭐

A brief but lovely preface that gives a glimpse into Asher's family and home life, Bri's fears, and love for Asher before the main story of "A Little Bit Dirty" begins. It's a real teaser that leaves you wanting so much more! It's energetic and thrilling, a little mysterious, and, sadly, far too short! Luckily for me, I have already read A Little Bit Dirty, so I wasn't left without answers. But if you enjoyed this 20 page short story, you should definitely read its full length novel.

“I love you, I’m in love with you and every way you can say it.” I confess and ball up the floral navy comforter in my hand. “You?” “I might be a little bit in love with you,”


All I Want is a Kiss - ⭐⭐⭐

All I Want Is A Kiss is a small novella about Nick and Cassie, a causal couple who are left with the question, Has there time to together come to an end? They have been meeting together once or twice a month at hotels over the years, and now Nick has been offered a job, that means he won’t be able to do this anymore. This was definitely a short story, and it did leave me wanting more. More plot, more pages, and more time. I think that this story, being as short as it was, was its only real downside. I did really enjoy the story and the characters, but I felt that it ended too soon, so I wasn't as engrossed in the story. I absolutely loved the concept of this short story and would definitely read it if she turned it into a full length novel.

“Just say the word, and I’ll move here. I’m ready to be with you, Olivia, I don’t think I can fathom not being able to see you again.”


Just a Little Crush - ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Friends to lovers and best friends' brother, sign me up! Just a Little Crush was eighty-six pages about a sweet and steamy couple who crossed the line from friends to lovers. I really enjoyed this one, and Aubree and Jackson's story was addictive right from the start. I think this was a perfect novella because the story was nicely wrapped up and didn't leave you feeling like you were missing anything. I find a lot of novellas these days leave me feeling like I'm missing half the story. This was such a fun read and another delightful story by Willow Winters and Amelia Wilde.

“I could see you walking down the aisle … I can see all of what I want in the future, happening with you.”


Pretend You Love Me - ⭐⭐⭐

Pretend You Love Me is a story about two hearts brought together through revenge for the ones they loved. The story of Connor and Madelyn is intense and dark, but it will leave you wanting more. I do wish it was a full-length novel because I feel like there is so much more to discover, especially with that jaw dropping twist.


A Kiss to Keep - ⭐⭐⭐

A Kiss to Keep is a brief continuation of A Kiss to Tell, the dark romance story of Sebastian and Chloe. I read this one as part of Willow's new collection, One Kiss Isn't Enough, and I did enjoy it. But without having previously read A Kiss to Tell, I had little idea about what was really going on. I have read some of Willow's other books from this world, but I was still left a little confused.

“And I didn’t use to feel like I needed it. But I do. I need him. I need this. Just like I need the air to breathe.”


Seductive - ⭐⭐⭐

I haven't read Daniel and Addisons story yet, but I have read other books in the Merciless World series, so I am aware of the overarching story. Seductive is an extended epilogue to Addison and Daniel’s story from Possessive. Although it states you could read this as a standalone, I feel like you should definitely read Possessive to understand what is going on, as even I struggled with that a bit.

“You know that I would die without you. Whatever makes a person a person—I’d die if you weren’t here anymore.”

One Kiss Isn't Enough is a really spicy and emotional collection of short stories, some of them prequels, that I thoroughly enjoyed, not to say devoured.
You can find the detailed reviews below:


THEN YOU KISSED ME
Then You Kissed Me is such a teaser, an appetizer that makes you want to keep on reading and learn all about Brody and Tequila Rose. Sexy, fascinating and much too short, lol!


FALLING AT FIRST SIGHT
O.M.G! WOW!!!
I LOVED this novella! Trent and Autumn ... what a couple!
The chemistry and attraction between them is palpable. I loved her shyness and his warmth and gentleness. Oh, and their sons, Henry and Chase, are just too cute!
I hope that one day this story will be expanded into a full-length novel, because I NEED so much more!


A LITTLE BIT IN LOVE WITH YOU
Asher and Brianna's prequel is very emotional, and you are immediately sucked into the action. It's hooot and exciting, a bit mysterious and unfortunately far too short ... a real teaser that leaves you wanting so much more!


ALL I WANT IS A KISS
All I Want Is A Kiss is a sweet yet sexy novella, the perfect treat for cuddling on a cold winter night, together with a glass of wine. I loved Nicholas and Olivia’s spicy story. It has just the right blend of sweet romance and hot chemistry to not only warm your heart ...


JUST A LITTLE CRUSH
Aubree and Jackson’s story is super sexy, with intense chemistry that will sear your e-reader. I love both characters, I love how real they feel, their struggle and anxiety to turn their friendship into something more. It's all so relatable.
This isn't the first time Amelia Wilde and Willow Winters have teamed up, and their co-written books just keep getting even better with each new project.
I only wish Aubree and Jackson's story was a full-length novel, because I would love to read more about them and don't want to let them go just yet.


PRETEND YOU LOVE ME
Whoa ... What an intense and captivating novella!!!
Madelyn and Connor's story is riveting from the beginning, dark and gruesome at first, until you get an explanation. I only wish it was a full-length novel because there is so much more I would like to learn.


SEDUCTIVE
This novella portrays Daniel and Addison from ‚Possessive‘. It allows an insight into how they are doing after the end of ‚Possessive‘. It is full of deep emotions like any other book by Willow Winters and another MUST READ in the Cross Brother world, and is best read after ‚Possessive‘.


A KISS TO KEEP
Boom …
Just like that, I fell in love with another Willow Winters story! She is a master when it comes to creating a mood in a few words, and the reader is immediately drawn into this setting. That’s how talented she is!
To read once more about Chloe and Sebastian is more than welcome. I already loved this couple in ‚A Kiss To Tell‘. And now, so much later, their sequel is again emotional, angsty and hot … And the passion and attraction between both characters feels even more powerful, as if it were seeping out of these lines into real life …
This novella is another fantastic read in the universe of the Cross Brothers!

One Kiss Isn’t Enough is a compilation of eight short stories that give readers a smorgasbord of tropes to devour at any time day or night. It contains everything from spicy to sweet to whet one’s palette. The stories have strong characters with a unique tale to tell. So sit back and get comfortable and gorge till your heart’s content. The first book is Then You Kissed me, and it is a prequel to Tequila Rose. Brody and Rose are two people who need a night out on the town. When they enter each other’s orbit, it is as if a neon sign flashes because their connection is so bright and instantaneous. However, after their one-night stand, Brody wakes up alone. What will fate have in store for these two? The second book is Falling At First Sight, and readers meet Trent, a preschool teacher, who is crushing hard over one of his student’s parents, Autumn. Autumn also has some feelings for her son’s teacher, but will she act on them? This is one witty storyline with two characters that have undeniable chemistry. The third book is A Little Bit in Love with You and it is the prequel to A Little Bit Dirty. It is two people dealing with a challenging romance. Brianna, aka Bri, has just returned to her hometown to find Asher in a precarious situation. These two have been together for years and love each other. However, Asher’s homelife is complicated. How will his homelife impact their future? The fourth book is All I Want is A Kiss and it is Nicholas and Oliva’s story. These are two people who had passion between them, but it begs the question as to whether or not that is enough to sustain their relationship. The fifth book is Just A Little Crush with Aubree and Jackson. This is a friends to lovers that has Aubree crushing on her brother’s best friend. The question is if Jackson has the same feelings. Watch what happens when these two decide to get together…cue the fireworks here. The sixth book is Pretend You Love Me which gives readers Madelyn and Connor. This is a very detailed mafia romance, and I will caution those with triggers to proceed with care. Connor is an alpha male who is controlling and always gets his way. Madelyn is a single mother with a son who is taken by Connor’s men. How will Madelyn fare with her new situation? This is one dark, hot read. The seventh book is A Kiss to Keep with Chloe and Sebastian. These two have been together through thick and thin but there are secrets between them. Can Sebastian open up and tell Chloe the truth? This is one intriguing read. The eighth and final book is Seductive with Addison and Daniel. This book is an extension of Possessive, Addison and Daniel’s story, and while it can be read on its own, I recommend reading Possessive first. These two have been through the ringer. Daniel wants Addison. They have great chemistry and everything going for them, but can they overcome the obstacles standing in their way to have the future that they deserve?
If you are looking for a quick pick me up because you enjoy steamy reads, then this is one collection for you.

Containing eight stories ranging from 15 pages to over 50 pages, I was sucked in to every single story just as if it was a 150-page book! I’m talking all the emotions, all the feels. I actually got attached to the characters! And the good news is many of the stories had more pages to read in another book if you fell in love!

Only one story was a prequel that doesn’t qualify as a happily ever after, but even then it was a really good story! None of these leave you on a cliffhanger as in, to read the rest of the story, read the full book. Oh no. No, no. Even if there is another book with those characters, this is no “teaser” where you’re left wanting. You’re only wanting more because you love them so much!

There’s small town, there’s dark stories with trigger warnings, there’s enemies to lovers, there’s friends to lovers, there’s forbidden men, there’s mafia-esk. This book has it all!!! If you don’t know what genre you like, this is a perfect place to start!

Some of these stories are “what happened after their happily ever after ending,” where they work though problems. It was so great to see what happened next!! And while it’s best to have read the book before the extended epilogue, it’s not necessary (except the last one I think you should read Possessive first, and Carter and Jase too).

“Short” does not mean it’s not deep, emotional, raw, all-consuming, and about life’s toughest moments, but also the sweetest moments too! You are sucked in in less than 3 pages!!

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: the last story, Seductive, is best read after you’ve read some of the merciless world stories or you’ll be lost as it’s an epilogue. Also, it deals with pregnancy loss and the raw emotions that come with it. This did not have a trigger warning, and I wanted you to know as many of us, me included, have suffered such a loss.

I just want to say that this is the perfect Passenger Princess book to add to your kindle or throw in your bag. This is a collection of short stories that are short enough to read on short car trips or in waiting rooms that without the commitment (in most case) of a full book but still getting all the feels and the sexy. That being said, some of these stories are connected to her other books as prologues or epilogues. This gives you a taste of different genres of her romance books so you can decide if and where you want to dive in. As always Willow brings all the feels and all the what with these and we get a little more than one more kiss with some of our favorite characters.
Then You Kissed Me - this is a prelude to Tequila Rose (book 1) and Autumn Night Whiskey (book 2). “He tasted like tequila and the fake name I gave him was Rose.” Small town romance.
Falling at First Sight - stand alone short story, small town romance. “His smile is what got me.”
A Little Bit in love with You - “this is a prelude to A Littler Bit Dirty. Small town second chance romance. “My treacherous heart wants more.”
All I want is a Kiss - stand alone contemporary short story. “I always smile when he kisses me.”
Just a Little Crush - This is a part of the Fall In Love with Me series. Small town romance, friends to lovers. Currently this is in the works to be brought to life with Passionflix.
Pretend You Love Me - this one is dark so be warned. Abduction dark romance. “All I have to do is pretend.” This is connected to the Merciless series.
A Kiss to Keep - this is bonus content for A Kiss to Tell. Unrequited love, romantic suspense. “I didn’t need anyone to tell me; I knew he was forbidden with a single glance.”
Seductive - this is an epilogue for Possessive. This is part of the Merciless world as wells. Unrequited love, dark romance. “Years have passed and one look at him brings it all back.”
