Editoral Review
This Love Hurts by W. Winters is a gripping novel about love and loss, set against the backdrop of the seedy world of organized crime.
The author has established herself as an accomplished writer in the romantic suspense genre, and her latest offering is sure to be a hit with her fans. The plot revolves around Seth and Laura, two broken souls who find solace in each other’s arms.
However, their idyllic romance is threatened by the dangerous underworld that they are a part of, and they must fight to stay alive and protect each other from harm. Winters’ writing is top-notch, with crisp dialogue, vivid descriptions, and a palpable sense of tension throughout.
The characters are well-drawn and complex, with Seth and Laura both struggling to come to terms with their troubled pasts and uncertain futures. Despite the harrowing subject matter, This Love Hurts is a deeply emotional and moving novel, with themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of love to heal even the darkest wounds.
Winters is able to navigate the darker aspects of human nature with sensitivity and grace, never allowing the violence and brutality of the criminal world to overpower the central love story. If there are any flaws to be found in the book, it might be that the pacing is a bit slow at times, with some scenes dragging on longer than necessary.
Additionally, some readers may find the depiction of the criminal underworld to be a bit clichd, with familiar tropes of dangerous bosses, henchmen, and corrupt law enforcement officers. Overall, however, This Love Hurts is a well-written and engaging novel that will appeal to fans of romantic suspense and crime fiction alike.
It is a powerful exploration of the human heart and the enduring nature of love, even in the face of overwhelming odds. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
