You Know I Love You: Book 1, You Know Me duet (You Are Mine Duets 3) Kindle Edition
I married the bad boy from Brooklyn.
The one with the tattoos and the look in his eyes that told me he was bad news.
The look that comes with all sorts of warnings.
I knew what I was doing.
I knew by the way he put his hands on me; how he owned me with his forceful touch.
I couldn’t say no to him, not that I wanted to. That was then, and it seems like forever ago.
Years later, I’ve grown up and moved on. But he’s still the man I married. Dangerous in ways I don’t like to think about.
I did this to myself. I knew better than to fall for him.
I only wish love was enough to fix this…
"My love for Willow's words grows with every book I read, the emotion that I felt reading this story will stay with me for a long time." - Julie Workman-Bookaholic Sisters Blog

Mr. CEO
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!
Happy reading and best wishes,
Willow xx

- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2023Exciting book to read. Kat and Evan together forever married, but Evan has a secret that has torn Kat apart! Now, she has her doubts about there marriage. She tells Evan to get out of her life and she wants to be rid of him, not trusting him anymore because he lied. She finds that she is pregnant with his child after she tells him to leave. She can't even look at him. He finds himself in jail, someone died on his watch and he isn't taking the fall for it! This story has it all, drama, love, sex and criminal happenings. Cliffhanger in place! Willow does it again with a outstanding story! Enjoy!!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021Evan and Kat 's relationship is intense from the beginning. They had chemistry and a connection that must people dream of. Both their jobs caused them to drift apart. Evan's job was dangerous and sometimes illegal. Being the party planner /bodyguard for the rich and famous. Means getting them all their party needs drugs, booze and female company. Kay's job as a promoter / publisher of authors is a grown-up job. Their are photos of Evan at his bosses soon to be ex wife's hotel at 3am. Its his alibi but he can't tell Kat the truth because it would involve her in this mess. Kay just can't take the lies and true to move on . But its hard when you still love your husband. I had a hard time not feeling her love and suffering coming off the pages. Evan's knows he screwed up but his pain is truly there for you to feel it too. I hate it was a cliffhanger but I have to read the next book. I really hope that they get their happily ever after.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2021"Don't stop loving me...You're my everything, my love and my life" Evan to Kat.
This is the story of Kat and Evan. These two are different people in what they believe about life. Evan has always been a person who loves to have a good time and to make sure his clients and those around him have one too. I have read some of the reviews and they want to paint Evan as the bad person the guy who would cheat on his girlfriend, therefore, cheat on his wife. This is not so. Evan works for a dirty underhanded guy in a tailored suit, with a wife who is just as dirty. Kat gets caught up between the James and Samantha drama. Samantha trying to make James jealous and James trying to set Evan up to take the rap for something he knows he didn't do. Then there is Kat's new client Jacob aka Jake.
Kat and Evan Thompson want the same thing but the path to getting there doesn't seem like it will happen, but if you know Willow, never say never but we will see how she brings this story to its conclusion. The story ends in a cliff hangar.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020I feel like I’m missing something. I think I’m supposed to be rooting for Kat and Evan to stay together, but I just…can’t.
Kat and Evan are on the verge of divorce and it’s all because of the secrets Evan is keeping. Kat isn’t blameless, as she has become a workaholic and neglected her relationship, but the bulk of the problem lies with Evan.
Evan lives in a world filled with secrets as a “fixer” for the rich and famous. And until now, Kat was okay with being in the dark and burying her head in the sand. She could easily ignore the dark and possibly illegal things her husband has done. But it all comes crashing down when some damning photographs of Evan and another woman are released to the media, forcing Kat to acknowledge and face their problems.
My issue with YKILU is that I didn’t particularly like either Kat or Evan. Kat seemed exceptionally weak, unable to stand up for herself. And Evan was a liar looking for absolution.
The suspense and thrill of Evan’s secrets kept me hooked, but I’m truly hoping for some redemption for both characters in the the second part of the duet.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2022Willow has broken my heart and given me the most pain I've had in a book in awhile and I'm loving her for that. When an author can evoke such emotions out of me, that's a plus; especially when I'm not a sympathetic or empathetic person at all.
Evan and Kat are so in love but Evan has done something to break that trust and betrayed Kat; but while loving her so much, he's doing anything and everything he can to have his woman back.
Kat on the other hand just wants to go their separate ways and move on but Evan is not giving up! She also annoyed me at times and really irritated me because that poor man is giving it is ALL.
Will they be able to conquer through everything or will this be their downfall?
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2020Oh my!! This what I love about the author and why she is definitely my go to. She not only brings suspense with her cliffhangers, but always adds a way to relate to the character. And this book hit home for me.
Evan and Kat have been married for several years and they have to a cross road in their relationship. Two people who ideally want the same thing, but are on two different paths. Throw in the unknown and choices that have now change the course of their relationship. But is love ever enough?
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2020It’s going to take me a bit to fully process this story. It’s an emotional one. Who doesn’t love a bad boy? Evan fits that description to a T. Kat is such a sweet lovable woman who fell for the bad boy. Can they make it work?
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020Just having separated, this story touched my soul like no other. Loving someone but knowing you can’t stay with them if an emotional roller coaster and Willow tells Kat and Evan’s story form the heart. Torn between doing what her heart wants and what her mind says is right is tough. Her emotions are all over the place as Evan wants to fix it but doesn’t know how without destroying any future they may have together.
Ending on a cliffhanger we are anxiously awaiting the second part of this suspenseful duet.

4.0 out of 5 stars An ok read
Kat was under no illusion about Evan she knew from the beginning that he was a bad boy , but she was head over heels in love with him as he was with her . After they married Kat threw herself into making her publishing company successful and Evan worked for a PR company keeping high profile clients safe from the medias and public’s eyes , getting them whatever they needed even if it illegal to do , he would frequently fixed their problematic situations that they got into and make them go away . When he’s pictured with his bosses wife at 3am in the morning at a hotel it was suggested that they had been up to no good which wasn’t denied by Evan . Demanding to know the truth his loyal wife was not happy when Evan told her he couldn’t tell her . Feeling totally betrayed and hurt Kat tells him that she wants a divorce …….. As the story continues we get an insight into what really when on , clearly there’s something big going on and clearly Evan is right at the top of suspects list . Although the story did pick up, towards the end , I found the vast majority was quite depressing and both main characters were quite annoying . It does end on a life changing revelation and a cliff hanger . Although I found it an ok read it certainly is emotionally charged , but quite tedious to read in places . Because of this I’m not certain at the moment that I want to find out how this story is going to end which is unusual as I normally love Willows books. Sadly I couldn’t give this the usual five stars that I normally give Willow’s books .

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring
Bored to tears, glad I got this free, first time reading anything by this author and never will again. I skipped 5-6 pages multiple times and they were still having the same argument, never went anywhere, longwinded drivel that was going no where fast. Couldn't finish it.
