Then You're Mine (Shame on You Book 3)

I love these books! I could not put them down each book took 1 day to read. Absolutely amazing! Looking forward to buying more from this author!

I love the book, the storyline, and Declan. I didn't want to put it down. I wasn't the biggest fan of Braelynn, and I hate to say that. It was redundant for her to continue to tell us her same feelings continuously. As a huge fan of Declan, I wanted someone who was sweet and innocent but also bada$$ when she needed to be. That is where my mixed emotions come in.I love the ending, and I would definitely recommend it.

Braelynn and Declan’s story is now complete and Willow brought it together perfectly and gives you the feels while reading. This starts right where I’ll Kiss a you Twice ended. While that had a heart pounding ending, this had the heart pounding beginning. Braelynn and Declan still have a bit to work on to. There are still sone obstacles in their way and Declan has to prove what he knows is true about Brae. I was put through the wringer once again. Their story is not straight, it is filled with twists, turns, ups and downs. They have such a strong connection and oh my, their chemistry is hoooot. There is suspense, secrets, lies, revelations, angst, drama and shocks. My heart was pounding while reading this book and I couldn’t put it down. Braelynn and Declan were born for each other. They complete each other like no other.Declan: “It occurs to me at this moment that I love her so deeply, I would light the world on fire if only she told me she wanted it to burn.”Braelynn: “ If he loves me, we can figure out the rest. Cause I’ll be damned, but I love him too.”

Then You're Mine ties up the Shame On You Trilogy by Willow Winters. This is my favorite series by her, I adore Declan and Braelynn. I have loved all the characters from the Merciless World and Willow did not disappoint with Declan's, the youngest Cross Brother's story.Their book takes you on an explosive journey full of deceit, secrets, emotion and justice. The Cross Brother's don't play when it comes to their woman, be prepared for the unexpected. The way Declan humble himself for Braelynn was beautiful. Who knew Declan Cross could be so tender, and vulnerable with Braelynn all while staying so dominant. It was so refreshing to see his softer side.This book is a BDSM, dark erotica romance novel, with some suspense and mystery. This book ends with a HEA and it was worth the wait. I honestly devoured this, and I couldn’t stop reading it.

From the ending of the last book, Braelynn standing on the ledge of a hotel window, to the ending of this book and trilogy, I can't help but feel unfulfilled with the final installment.I enjoyed the writing as I always do with Winter's books, but for some reason, only in this book, I got lost with how Braelynn got from point a to point b mentally and emotionally. It's hard for me as a reader to believe and understand that all Braelynn needed was Declan to say, I believe you, for her to feel some normal to heal. But at the same time, we saw Braelynn completely go from a strong woman in book one who knew what she wanted and understood the consequences, to her feeling like this broken doll who couldn't do anything she wanted and only needed approval from Declan to be "okay."Both characters went through character development, but where I believe Declan became more understanding of other people's feelings and what his actions did to them, Braelynn seemed to become this dependent person because that is what a mafia wife does.It also annoyed me that I knew / had an inkling of who the real rat was in book one... and it literally took 3 books and the ending of the third for the famous cross Brothers to figure it out. And the way it was figured out felt sooo anticlimactic.Overall, I did love this dark mafia romance series, and want to thank Winters for allowing me to ARC read the entirety of it. Im 100% going to continue reading different series from her.

I wish there were more books in this series. Its so good and keeps you hooked from the very first page. I read the last two in 3 hours. Such a great author. Definitely recommend.

The finale book in Declan and Braelynn’s Trilogy was perfect. Not only did it wrap everything up so well it keep me hanging on to every page. I was dying to know what was going to happen and how this family was going to work it. You could feel the love and the angst all through this book. It was so good!!

4.5 starsThis is the third book in the Shame on You series and it is not a standalone. I would also caution those with triggers to proceed with care. This is the conclusion of Declan and Braelynn’s story and what a firestorm it is. From the opening scene there is drama aplenty that just continues as the pages turn. Declan is remorseful for what he feels is his actions that brought about the situation that he and Braelynn find themselves in. Each one has their perspective and after going through so much, they are each other’s home. Can they fix their relationship and have what they really want? Ms. Winters has penned a love story that shows how the right person can bring out one’s best and holding on to that love can conquer any obstacle. I recommend this series.

This was fantastic and a great way to end the series!

This story begins showing us how much Declan is into BDSM, but then fails to follow through. One chapter, or maybe it was in a prologue begins with him spanking Braelynn with a paddle, as a flashback, but it never goes back to how/when that actually occurred. Otherwise it’s just a little bit of spanking and light domination. Additionally, at the end of King’s story we’re left with Declan meeting with Marcus face to face as a cliffhanger revealing who Marcus truly is. Of course, if you’ve read the trilogy about Marcus you know who he is, if not, Declan is the only one who truly knows and that isn’t even addressed in Declan’s story. Would like to know what happened after Declan said something along the lines of it’s you? To whomever he saw as Marcus at the end of King’s story and more details surrounding the deal they came to that’s alluded to in this series.

I enjoyed this story about Declan Cross (4th Cross Brother) and Braelynn Lennox. I enjoyed their journey to them finding their happy ever after.
