You Are Mine #2
You Are My Hope
From USA Today bestselling author W Winters comes an emotionally gripping romantic suspense.
Mason Thatcher gave me chills when I first laid eyes on him. The good kind. The kind that make your body ache, and your heart hammer.
It’s not fair that his touch eased my pain.
That his lips on mine made my worries vanish.
That his love gave me a reason to breathe again.
With him I felt complete, as if fate had given me a second chance.
Then I learned the truth: the sins and secrets of what had really brought us together.
I only hope we could go back. I never could have imagined this.
This is the second book in the You Are Mine duet. The first book is You Are My Reason.

... You are my hope, Mason.
I still cannot find the exact words to describe how I so much love Mason and Julia. Their love. Their hate. Their drama. Their development. Their chemistry. They were matched, just the way I like!
Note: This is a romantic suspense.
You Are My Hope is the conclusion in the steamy and suspenseful duet, You Are Mine. This is the continuation of Julia and Mason's story, who found love in each other's arms, but lost it when Julia learned the truth about Mason.
I adored Mason. For not giving up. He's obsessed with her, and I don't give a damn! I loved that he did it. I couldn't agree more with what he said:
He saved his relationship with Julia. Julia who hated him. Who would never forgive him. And who couldn't wait another second to leave him. His secrets betrayed her. Destroyed her life. But if it wasn't for him, she would forever live in a world full of lies and deceit.
Overall, I absolutely enjoyed this duet. It was a gripping story, and obviously a page-turner that raised topics about forgiveness and infidelity.
I recommend this to those who likes: Willow Winters, romantic suspense, erotic, enemies to lovers, second chance, dark romance, captive, emotional read, and a happy ever after.

They say if you love someone, you should let them go. That’s bullshit!
I didn’t know it until I lost her, but I had nothing to live for without Jules. There’s no possibility in this life that I’m going back to what I was before her,"

"It’s absurd to move through life,
When there’s nothing left inside.
When you’re hollow and unfeeling,
When all you know has died.
It’s all there within your grasp,
But the life has turned to stone.
You should have known, you foolish man,
You were meant to live alone."

What a Brilliant turn of events from You Are My Reason!! Julia Summers and Mason Thatcher’s tumultuous story continues after the shocking cliffhanger we were left with in book one. When lies are uncovered and the truth is revealed what will become of these two? They just found love but can it be saved after everything? “I’m the only knight in shining armor she’s going to get.” Uh oh! Oh Mason, you silly man! I loved how their story unraveled in this duet. Plenty of deception, truths, obsession and a whole lot more. Sometimes it’s better to be with the monster you know than the monster you don’t. Mason and Jules are perfect together in their push and pull for the truth. An intense, dark, romantic suspense that will keep you on your toes until the very end. Told in dual POV

⭐⭐⭐⭐
ღ Epic conclusion to Mason & Jules ‘s story!
This installment picks up right where the first book left off. The story draws you in, and hold on to you tight up into the very end
The ending is so much different from what I envisioned.
This book was packed with lots of -Lies, corruption, Scorching Hot scenes, Romance with tons of Suspense, what everyone needs is Dual POV, obnoxious amount of Secrets….. All in one tiny Duet
What do you do when you find out the person that you held on a pedestal for so long it's not who they actually seem to be? You find out they have cracks in their armor
They are both guilty of so much, & they have been baptized in the blood of other’s victims.
no one can see the truth; Only they know what they are. Raw & broken, but together, they’re whole. The world will never know what it took for the two of them to come out of this alive. No one will ever realize how much strength there is between them. pieces fell, and there was blood on everyone’s hands. Mason & Jules learn the hard way, that they’re unbreakable together!
📚 Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion+ Also I wouldn’t never discourage anyone from reading this book.

Mason Thatcher is not the man she thought he was, for their entire relationship he has been keeping secrets... the kind that have the power to ruin everything they have built together. If they let them of course. Every time she looks in his direction he gives her the chills, the not good kind, and she is now scared to trust him. He has done things she isn't so sure she can forgive him for.
But he continues to promise that he is the same man she fell for months ago... but how can she trust what he says when he lied to her before?
You Are My Hope is a spine-tingling romantic suspense story that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. These two are brought together under false pretenses, but it is evident that what they share together is real, their feelings are pure. But then Jules learns the secrets that Mason has been keeping and suddenly things take an unexpected and very dangerous turn for them. There are so many unexpected twists and turns in this duet that you will have a hard time telling who is telling the truth and guessing how things will turn out for these two. I loved every single second of it, it was riddled with suspense, angst, emotion, steam, and drama...it delighted on every level! I have no doubt that this one will be a hit with romance suspense readers, it's words are bound to take them on one heck of a thrilling and steamy escape! Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.

✨You Are My Hope- You Are Mine Duet Book 2- Willow Winters ✨
I’ll start but saying Mason Thatcher is and always will be a top Willow Winters book boyfriend for me.
I love the intensity and suspense in this book- and seeing the real Mason Thatcher unveiled was a bonus... I freaking loved him all alpha, possessive, and being a hot head.
𝙎𝙝𝙚’𝙨 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚. 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝. 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥.
What’s more is that he really believed his actions were from a place of love and protecting Jules...
And did I mention he was a dirty talker?
“𝙏𝙧𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙙*𝙘𝙠, 𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩,”
Okay, so I’ll admit- I’m still not a huge fan of Julia... she grew on me but her personality just didn’t click with mine (probably because I wanted Mason for myself lol 😂). It was just easier for me to connect with Mason than it was was with her.
𝙃𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙢𝙚. 𝙃𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙮.
Willow Winters makes a lasting impression with this sexy, suspenseful contemporary romance that hits hard in ALL THE FEELS!
What you can expect— dirty talking alpha, more suspense, more drama, plot twists and deep seated emotional angst that will make your heart weep.
*This is Book 2 of the YOU ARE MINE duet and should only be read after reading Book One- You Are My Reason.
**This book was previously published as Unforgiven and has been revised and elevated by the author with some new content.

I was left on a precipice in
You Are My Reason
and couldn’t wait to dive into
You Are My Hope.
Winters hasn’t made her readers wait long for the conclusion to this angsty romance thriller that had me sitting on the edge of my seat.
'His love and devotion to my happiness are what will ruin me entirely.'
How wrong I was in thinking that it couldn’t get more complicated for the heroine. Untold truths abound, lies are the name of the game and addictive passion builds up from page to page, keeping me enthralled as Mason Thatcher and Julia’s story untangles.
'But he had his reasons. I can't deny that it was wrong, but so much was wrong.'
Mason doesn’t consider himself to be a good man. Despite having reasons to think as he does, what I liked about him is he’s prepared to go all out for the woman who'd robbed his very being since the moment he'd set his eyes on hers. So, will Julia learn to forgive his sins, and learn to understand why he’d been forced to take such drastic measures? The only way the reader will find out why danger is lurking in every corner is by reading the You Are Mine duet!
'My body and my mind are confused. I feel attacked and cornered, but I don't know who to blame other than myself.'
Winters’ writing is descriptive, stylish and although it’s fast-paced, she’d cannily held back what I yearned to know. The dialogue flows; however, Mason and Julia’s inner-fears still come across loud and clear. Readers who enjoy action and abundant suspense, dirty-talking alpha heroes and addlepated female characters, this duet narrated from a dual perspective is for you!
'We were never meant to be. It was a mistake. I deserve this pain.'

What a brilliant turn of events this one was!! After that shocking cliffhanger things gets more and more complicated.
This book was packed with lots of angst and suspense. I was so immersed while i was reading it, it was really crazy. To be honest the fist book didn't affect me like i was hopping, but this one, this one blew my mind.
The suspense was killing me, i even started talking to myself trying to solve things. NOT LYING.
Jules' world was turned upside down. What she believed to be true, turned out to be a lie. Now that all the secrets that Mason wanted to keep buried were out, she doesn't know what to believe in anymore.
Even if both of them are madly in love with each other. But can love fix what has been broken? Can love be enough?

What a conclusion. It was definitely tragic what happened to our leading lady, and it was also a great twist at the end of book one. It lead to a whole lot of drama in book 2! It was easy to read, and it certainly was a page turner with its mystery. These two hopeless lovers evolved a lot. The steam was forbidden and twisted. Another lovely duet by Willow Winters comes to an end!

After that huge cliffhanger, i was dying to know what would have happend
and wow ...
what a turn of events!!!
The fragile relationship between Mason and Jules is compromised by a secret that can't be forgetten so easily.
Jules still love Mason, but she can't forgive him.
Mason love Jules and he can't lose her.
However there's someone else Who Is trying to manipolate everyone with his lies to gain power.
I really enjoyed this second book: i felt like i couldn't read fast enough, because i had to know!!
I loved Mason and his possessiveness, his fragilities, his need to be loved 😍😍
but i hated Jules and her indecision.
The entire book was intense with all the angst and those action moments.
I only wish there was an epilogue more richer in details about their "future" life.

This picks up right where You Are My Reason left off and it was an epic conclusion to Jules and Mason’s story. This story pulls the reader in from page one and it won’t let go. I didn’t want it to end. I loved Jules and Mason. They were great together and had a very complex relationship that seemed to fit them well. Their love and relationship helped them find out who they were as a person. Loved the ride and can’t wait for the next one from Ms. Winters.

The dramatic conclusion of Willow’s You Are Mine duet is just that. Willow told Mason and Julia’s story that included love and deception. I could understand how Jules felt when she learned what Mason had done and it would be so hard to forgive him, yet there is more to their story and while it was hard to see that this could end well, Mason knew he couldn’t lose her.
Their story was an absolute must read for me and I could not stop until I had finished the last page. Thank you Willow!

Jesus. Freaking. Christ.
This is why Willow Winters is a top 3 favorite author of mine. She continues to blow my mind with her way with words and continues to write such epic stories that completely consume me and You Are My Hope was no exception. Just having finished You Are My Reason (Part 1 to this duet) I was eager to continue the story. It picks up where book one left off and it threw me right back Mason and Julia's intense and insanely hot love story.
Mason has become such a favorite of mine through these two books. He's dominant, possessive, protective and loves recklessly for Julia and is willing to do anything to keep her as "his". He can't see how life without this woman in it and when that could be a possibility, he won't let that happen. But will he be able to win Julias' trust back?
Julia comes clean about things and is struggling on if she should listen to her heart or her mind. She is torn on what to do.
Will these two get their HEA? Will Mason be able to win her back?
This book was full of suspense, intense heat, angst, drama, and plot twists I did not see coming. Once again, Ms. Winters flaws me with her ability to write a story so captivating that I was completely consumed from beginning to end.
5+ Stars!

After book one ended with a major cliffhanger, I was itching for the final - and it didn't disappoint!
Jules and Mason have a lot to overcome, no matter how much they want to forget and move forward, there is no doubt that secrets will tear them apart....
An excellent emotional and intense read, that will have you engrossed until the very end.

Mason Thatcher is a total dreamboat.
There I said it.
Even after the despicable things he did, I still love the guy.
Jules and him were perfect. Were meant for each other.
Their chemistry, their banter, their understanding, their own obstacles, gah, everything made them, them.
Plus the writing, the plot, Jules and Mason, and the whole shebang of this duet I sincerely ended up loving a lot.
So I can't wait to read more by Willow Winters!

Reading this book felt like drowning in emotions. Despair, agony, love, hopelessness, hate, passion, anger, confusion, weakness, defiance, stubbornness, doubts ...
I felt like I needed a deep breath of fresh air, but the plot did not let me stop long enough to get it. It is that intense, that mind-blowing, that phenomenal!
Although it was a re-read for me I was again completely captivated by Jules and Mason’s story, even more so than the first time I read it.
In all of Ms. Winters' books, I experience this phenomenon of immersing myself in her stories, forgetting everything around me, and returning to reality after reading them... a true testimony to the huge talent of this author.

Although it was a re-read for me I was again completely captivated by Jules and Mason’s story, even more so than the first time I read it.

Mason and Jules love each other, but is love enough? When secrets are revealed will Jules find it in her heart to forgive Mason? Jules is all Mason wants and needs can he make her see that they belong together before it’s too late? Their story tugs on your heart strings, and shatters you’re heart just a little in anticipation of what’s coming. Absolutely love Mason and Jules. I received a copy of this book.

After the cliff hanger of Book One in the duet You Are My Reason I was curious to see how this would all play out. I enjoyed seeing the darker side to Mason's personality I have to say. He made some choices that made Julia despise him for a large percentage of the book. For me Julia lost my love a little along the way here, she was a little whiney and hung up on a man that did nothing but betray her throughout her marriage. I thought after Book 1 she had opened her eyes to this and was going to hold her head high but in You Are My Hope I feel like she took a step back.
That said the suspenseful elements to the plot are what kept the story moving forward, and Willow always manages to captivate me there. With plenty of twists and turns, drama and the rollercoaster of Julia and Masons romance this book will provide satiate anyone craving a romantic suspense fix.
*This is Book 2 of the YOU ARE MINE duet and should only be read after reading Book One- You Are My Reason.
**This book was previously published as Unforgiven and has been revised and elevated by the author with some new content.

You are my hope is the continuation of Jules and Mason’s story from You Are My Reason. This story picks up right where the first book left off with that intense cliffhanger. I was excited to find out what happened and if Mason was a bad guy, good guy, or the perfect balance between them. Spoiler alert: he’s one of the three!
I have to admit I liked Mason more in the first book. The same goes for Jules. I felt like neither had much character growth in this book and Mason holding onto Jules despite her deity to leave was just odd. I’m all for dark romance, but this just seemed so strange. Both characters spent more time in their heads than they did anything that it started to feel a bit repetitive. I like the premise for the book and the series, but felt that this one could be shortened and just added to the first one to make one.

Unputdownable! It was quite a short read, but WOW!! The mystery would keep you guessing until the end! You would think you know, but those twist and turns would keep you second guessing yourself.
Mason and Julia got engaged and Julia just got a letter with one of the worst news anyone could ever have gotten. Will their love be strong enough to get pass through it? Willow killed it with this duet. The way how the truth was unraveled, just shows you how much Mason freaking loved Julia. It hurts so much, but your heart would be put back together beautifully. Totally and highly recommended.

You Are My Hope is the thrilling conclusion to Jules and Mason's duet! It was packed with lots of angst, drama, and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
The story picks up right where the first book left off, and oh boy.......Jules' world has been turned upside down. What she believed to be true, turned out to be a lie - and the secret Mason wanted to keep buried, somehow made its way to the surface. But everything Mason had done since Jules entered his life was to keep her safe and protected. And no matter how much she tried pushing him away, he loved her with all his heart and would do anything to keep her out of harm's way.

Wow, what a conclusion to Mason and Jules’ story. I couldn’t put it down, there was so much going on. Who to trust who not to trust. Willow gave you all the anguish, the pain and the hurt. Jules wanted and needed Mason so much until the bombshell of what he had done hit her, with all the turmoil going on in her head could she trust him? She doubted she could forgive him. He admitted he wasn’t a good man but she loved him. The suspense and intrigue was on another level. I loved Mason. Brilliant Read for which I received an Arc for an honest review.

You Are My Hope follows on directly from You Are My Reason, so you are pulled straight into the depths of suspense, suspicion and mystery. It’s jammed packed full of angst and emotions throughout. Willows writing as ever is extremely descriptive and captivating to a reader and this conclusion will definitely have you on tender hooks until the very last chapter it really will!
A thoroughly enjoyable duet!

Jules loves Mason but can't get out of her head what he did. Mason will do anything for Jules, he loves her unconditionally. But when someone rips their lives apart and Mason's secret is exposed, can Jules ever forgive him. The heart wants what the heart wants and Mason will convince Jules of that. I love this series and I love the characters. As you read you can feel the heartbreak the characters go through and you can't help hoping they get there HEA that they both deserve. Once you start reading you will not want to stop.

Too drawn out. And Jules was just plain stupid for accepting that she was rid of a scum bag!

My emotions were all over the place with this duet.
I wasn't sure if my heart was going to be in one piece by the end and now I'm stuck with a major book hangover.

“If you love something set it free. If it comes back it’s yours. If not, it was never meant to be.” As Jules and Mason's story continues from a shocking cliffhanger in You Are My Reason, I wondered how they could possibly stay together after what is revealed about Mason's role in her husband's death. Ms. Winters delivers a heartbreaking and tense conclusion to a tragic love story gone wrong.
It’s hard enough to grasp the fact that Jace was murdered. Much harder still to think that I fell in love with his murderer.
Jules is in disbelief. The anonymous letter said Mason killed her husband Jace. How can she forgive something like that? She gave him everything and now she doesn't know that man anymore. He claims he loves her, but all she feels is anger and fear towards him. He's holding her prisoner and all she wants to do is go home. He knew who she was when we met. He knew it would destroy me, but that didn't stop him. What kind of f#@ked up mess has she gotten herself into?
It destroys me that I couldn’t lie to her. I couldn’t hide what I’d done. Some sick, twisted part of me is relieved that now she knows.
Mason loves her. He needs her. Now her life is in danger. It's all his fault, and all he wants to do is to protect her and make everything better. She knows he'll never hurt her. But someone knows what he did and they aren't safe. How can he convince her that staying with him is for her own good?
Ms. Winters does a fantastic job delving into the chaos of their lives including the desolation of Jules' anguish and hopelessness as well as her anger at Mason's lies, and at herself for loving him despite his sins. When she goes off on him and finally convinces him to let her go, it's devastating to watch. The sorrow and love are so strong. In addition, watching the tough and intimidating Mason be relegated to a contrite and miserable mess is unnerving, but well deserved. Despite his guilt, I was rooting for him every step of the way even though it looked hopeless. His desperation is palpable as he looks for the blackmailer while convincing himself that Jules will forgive him. My heart broke for both of them. Don't worry it ends in a HEA, but it took a lot out of this reader to get there.
If you love second chance dark romances loaded with heartache, secrets, and danger lurking around the corner, give this book a try. I recommend you read book 1 in this series so you can get the full force of Jules and Mason's relationship.
Thank you to Ms. Winters for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.

You Are My Hope is the second book in the ‘You Are Mine’ duet. This book picked up right where book one left off and it really sucked me right in.
Nothing about this love story was easy. Jules, especially, had to endure a lot of pain and hurt which isn't always easy to just let go of. Everything that happened in this book as well as the previous book was absolutely heartbreaking for our heroine, Julia. I swear it felt like everywhere we turned something else ended up hurting her. It definitely kept my emotions in high alert. There were times throughout the book where I was saying to myself “OMG I love Mason, he’s so dreamy” and “ What the heck is wrong with this man. Everything he has done has hurt Jules. I hate him.” But let’s be real, in reality, Mason is absolutely dreamy and definitely on my top list of favorite Willow Winters men!
This book truly didn’t let me put it down. I was definitely playing detective throughout the entire book and it really kept me guessing every step of the way. There are secrets, lies, loss and old wounds that just can’t heal themselves. Sometimes love stories get the happy ever after, and sometimes you get the happy ever after but with also a cruel dose of reality and knowing that not everything ends with sunshine and rainbows. If you’re looking for a really great suspenseful, and twisty, that can keep you on your toes kind of read, then this is definitely something I highly recommend you pick up!

You Are My Hope is the conclusion of Mason and Jules’ story, the second book in the series You are Mine.
Lies, corruption, and the past come back with a bang! Mason will do anything to keep Jules safe and his, even go up against an unknown enemy. When his past comes to light he faces loosing Jules forever. She must face the fact that her second chance with Mason is based on lies and the worst case of deception. He’s not the man she thought he was but she also knows that he loves her with everything he has, but she struggles with his deception and that their relationship would never have happened if not for it. Can she forgive him and see that everyone can make decisions that have lasting impact on those around them?
“Raw and broken, but together, we’re whole.”
“It’s not a fairytale, but it’s a happily ever after suited for us both.” These two quotes from their book sum up their story perfectly!
