You Are My Hope

The incredible conclusion to Mason and Jules’ story is just as spectacular as I anticipated that it would be. I devoured this book with an eagerness to finish, but was then left wishing it wasn’t over as I wasn’t yet ready to say goodbye to these characters.

Jules and Mason definitely live up to the books title. They are broken individuals who find love, truth and hope together. Great continuation of book one.

“She’s ashamed to be moving on so quickly. Especially with a man like me. I wasn’t made for a woman like her. I’m someone who could tarnish her sterling reputation and make the crack in her picture-perfect frame splinter even deeper. To say I’m rough around the edges is putting it lightly, but I have what it takes to keep her.” Wow! Secrets were finally revealed that were never supposed to be known. And it shatters the fragile relationship between Mason and Julia. Julia is still trying so hard to hold onto her life and stay strong after the death of her husband as well as appear put together to society. And we really see Mason as alpha daddy in book two. His possessiveness to keep Julia safe is overbearing (to put it lightly) to Julia but we see Mason desperately trying to salvage the relationship between both of them. We as readers finally are able to slowly unravel the mystery and the intense suspense behind what the heck is going on but Julia is kept in the dark and when she takes matters into her own hands, shizz is hits the fan. I don’t want to give too much away but this is seriously one of my favorite duets of Willow Winters. I love these books so much. It has the perfect combination of mystery, suspense, and steamy intense love between two characters.

What an amazing story! Love, deceit, heartbreak, and a happy ending. Quite the rollercoaster of emotions. Only Willow Winters can write a story that you hope never ends. Mason and Jules’ love story is surrounded by mystery, a “who done it” so to speak. I highly recommend you join the rollercoaster ride!!

When the reality that someone you thought you knew and you gave your all isn't the man you thought he was.....devastation. Julia has discovered the truth about Mason. The man that she has fallen deep in love with is also the person responsible for the death of her husband. How could she be so stupid? The way she feels for Mason is real. There is passion, desire, lust and a sense of being whole. Everything she never felt with her late husband. Her husband's infidelity was one thing, but loving and living with a murderer is just too much. Mason can not take back what he did, but he will stop at nothing to keep Julia his. Keeping her a prisoner is not how he wants her to stay with him, but for now that is what he has to do to make her understand WHY he did what he did. Julia will play Mason's little game of cat and mouse and when the opportunity presents itself she will escape. However, when outside threats seek out to hurt both Julia and Mason, Julia realizes that her best chance of survival is with the man she loves and hates the most. Can Mason find out who is behind the threats? Who wrote the letter that destroyed Mason and Julia's HEA? Will Julia be able to forgive Mason and live a life of happiness she so badly seeks? I LOVED You Are My Hope. I fell in love with Mason from the very beginning. The closed off man that has been burned and hurt so badly by a wicked red head woman and his family finally opens up and allows LOVE in. So when he finds the LOVE OF HIS LIFE he doesn't let go. Although Julia thinks she is weak and broken, in reality she is the strongest woman. Mason and Julia's relationship may have its darkness and secrets, but the love that they have for one another is FOREVER. I couldn't put this book down and after it ended I wanted more. What is their life now after the dust has settled? Willow.... are you listening ;)

Wow, a great conclusion to the You Are Mine Duet is a roller coaster of emotions that you will not want to put it down. This romantic suspense was packed with murder, mystery, danger, darkness, and twists and turns—some you see coming, some you don’t. With the powerful characters at play, it was thrilling and shocking—I was captivated from start to finish! I have no words! It’s these types of books which I chase, the unexpected, unputdownable, where the outside world ceases to exist, and I’m utterly in love with this book!! Mason and Jules are full of surprises—I was flabbergasted with the unexpected revelations that happened, but it is jaw-dropping good! I felt everything Mason and Jules were going through down in my soul. The road to Mason and Jules happiness was wrought with heartache and bloodshed. The angst was intense. So much came between them, but their love could not be broken. The chemistry between Mason and Jules is undeniable—their love became hate because of their pain, or rather Jules pain, but neither seems able to walk away. There always seems to be some obstacles that gets in their way to tear them apart, but Jules’ relationship with Mason seems to make her a target. Why? Regardless of Mason’s protection, who is after Jules? Both Mason and Jules have serious emotional baggage concerning the concept of love, which gives Willow Winters space to explore their fears all while imbuing her characters with depth and realism. Kudos to Willow on a great book and duet! Willow Winters manages to weave dark and twisted plots centered on romantic ideas with artfully developed main characters. I highly recommend this book and the You Are Mine Duet!!

Jules and Mason. I absolutely loved it. I needed to process a bit before I write my review. As their relationship grew, I started to question Mason and his intentions. And then I totally trusted him. Which emotion was correct?? I love Jules and want her to be happy, but can she? Will she be able to move forward??

The conclusion to the You Are Mine Duet. As this is a continuation of the story, I would suggest reading book one before starting book two. One thing I love about reading a series of this author is that she doesn't make you wait long for the next book. I've been a huge fan of Willow Winters and I love how I can jus pick up a work of hers and zoom through it within just a few hours. Her storytelling is so entrancing that I can fall deep into anything she writes. This is one of the few where I felt that the main couple ends with a happy-for-now instead of happily-ever-after. A duet filled with so much mystery/suspense and kept me on a thrill ride from beginning to end. Mason Thatcher is a man of his word and will do anything for the woman that captured his heart.

You are my hope is darkly delicious ending to Mason & Jules’ story. Mason & Jules had to go through hell to get their HEA but their journey is worth it.

An Amazing Not Your Average Sugar Coated Fairytale. Wow what an emotional roller coaster ride. You Are My Hope is the second book in the You Are Mine Duet. Book one, You Are My Reason, has to be read first since it is the start of Mason and Julia’s story. After learning the truth about Mason, Julia struggles with her feeling about him. Julia, akaJules, is learning the truth about people from her past and present. This causes her to struggle to get a grip on her raw emotions. Love, hate, despair, and self doubt fill her mind, body, and soul. Mason is also filled with so much built up emotions that at times they get the bests of him. Loaded with self doubt, he loves hard and protects even harder. Lie upon lie have taken their toll on him as well. Willow has proven why she is a master of her craft. You Are My Hope is the complete package. Full of secrets, lies, murder, and deceit, You Are My Hope is not a sugar coated fairytale. It’s more than that. The emotional rawness, pain, and despair that encompass the lives of Mason and Julia are gripping and unforgettable. You Are My Hope was originally published as Unforgiven and reedited. I did not read Unforgiven so I cannot compare the two versions. I can say, if you like dark romances or if you’re a first time reader, the You Are Mine DuetI is an absolute must read. received an advance copy of You Are My Hope in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine and were not influenced by the author or her promotional team.
