Will Middleton has no clue how much I want him.
He looks at me like I’m an angel,
And all I can think about is how he would look tied to my bed.
He’s the perfect gentleman.
Amazing considering he’s related to The Spencer Ryan.
He is everything Spencer is not. Sensitive, considerate, and unassumingly handsome.
I’d like to show him that’s a good thing.
But he broke my heart once,
and I don't know if I can let him do it again.
Mags Goldsmith is a beautiful, confident heiress and she seems to want me.
Although she really shouldn't. I'm not what she needs.
She’s a goddess. And when I say goddess,
I mean erotica writing siren, who knows more than one use for a riding crop.
Everything I thought I knew about her has been rewritten,
And now she’s got me tied up in knots.
She's everything I've ever wanted and more,
I just have to prove I’m worthy.
This is not your average British romance.
It's a tale of second chances, strap-ons, and of course sex oranges,
All bound up and tied to a bedroom door.
It's love in the real world,
where bad boys are a dime a dozen.
And it takes a real man to be a good boy.

Will is the first book that I have read from Kerry Heavens and it won’t be my last. Since I went into reading this book blind and not knowing that Will is a second book of Not Your Average British Romance , I was pleasantly surprised that this book can be read as a standalone although the beginning of the book took me awhile into getting into the flow of the story. Other than that Will is your second chance romance with all the frills and thrills with an added bonus of a feisty and sassy heroine. If you looking for a romance that is sizzling and steamy, then look no further than Will as this book hits all the right notes in family drama, sass, romance, second chances, vulnerabilities, and of course hot banging sex as Mags shows Will that her talent in writing smut can also be found in the bedroom.

Oh Will.
Those little clues in Spencer about him. About Mags. I was very intrigued, very excited to find out more. It isn't really a spoiler alert if you read Spencer, but if you haven't look away now. Will is not really what you would call an alpha male in the mold of his cousin. Shock. Horror. Thankfully most men aren't or ffs the world would be full of knobheads.
Will and Mags young love, re-united. Both have reservations that they need to overcome if love is to flourish. And what better way to overcome them than with a sex orange and a strap on?
Did you know I have an obsession with strap ons? I don't actually possess one - yet, but one of my old bosses did give me the nickname Strap-On, no sexual discrimination was at play in the workplace, I hasten to add. I gave as good as I got.
I loved the journey Mags and Will went on. It isn't a serious Domme/Sub relationship- they play together. Sometimes they get it wrong and it ends in hilarity. Sometimes they get it right and sex smoulders.
If you hate D/S, bondage, kink this is the perfect introduction because there is nothing hardcore.
I love these characters and can't wait to find out what Kerry Heavens does next. In the meantime I might buy some leather cuffs, maybe a scarf with sculls on, maybe a strap on. Peg away.
"If I fail to have faith in us, punish me however you see fit. Correct me. Remind me I'm yours."
"There are no rules. We can find our own boundaries and play our own game."
"Bad boys are a dime a dozen." "It takes a real man to be a good boy."
"You have me tongue tied when you have me in the palm of your hand."
For me the message of this book is that, as a couple you find your own way. What you like is your business and yours alone.

2.5 stars!! I am a huge fan of Kerry Heavens and have loved everything that she has written thus far, however, this one just didn't work for me. As I was reading this book I felt extremely awkward. This book dabbles in BDSM and the Dom/Sub relationships. I think for some authors this comes naturally and is believable, however, for me this felt forced and almost as if the author herself was uncomfortable writing it. That unease bled through to me the reader. I have read hundreds of books with BDSM and have never felt this way, this is my honest opinion, it may not be yours.
Aside from that, it was great to catch up with Spencer et al.

If you’ve read Spencer (and if you haven’t I recommend it for lots of sexy fun) then you’ve met Spencer’s cousin, Will Middleton, and Jazz’s friend, Mags Goldsmith. While this story can be read as a standalone, there are places that will make far more sense and you’ll have a fuller picture of the characters if you’ve read Spencer first.
Told via their dual alternating first person POV, Will is your average guy, running his own business, and struggling with the feelings and attraction he has for his ex, Mags once they become friends again. With a lot of insecurities and a beta personality, Will doesn’t think he’s good enough for Mags, who’s been raised in an upper-class, high society lifestyle. But when Will discovers the type of erotic books that Mags has been authoring, and Mags discovers that there’s more to Will than she dreamed possible, a second chance might just be on the horizon.
“I feel all the power I ever fantasized about having, right at my fingertips.”
So Will and Mags embark on a little sexual exploration. I’ll admit their brand of kink is not my thing, but it does seem to work for Will and Mags, and I liked how they were flexible with their roles.
“The dominant deep inside me pinches me to let me know that this kind of thing wouldn’t wash in a real D/s relationship, but I shut her up. What does she know?...She has never had to handle this shit in real life.”
Will is swimming in his own insecurities and while he might not be a guy I’d fantasize about in real life, it was immensely refreshing to read a scenario where the roles were reversed and it was the man who was the weak one and the woman who held the confidence, helping him find his way. I also give the story major points for focusing on the inner struggles that the characters needed to overcome and avoiding the typical OW/OM romance angst. I always enjoy when a romance plays out as a journey rather than a melodrama fest; I think there’s so much more to take away from the story. The messages of being honest and forthcoming with your feelings and fears as well as building your confidence are important in any relationship, and it was featured here in a positive way.
“There’s a thin line between confidence and arrogance. It’s called humility.”
There are also some fun twists in this story. Though not as laugh out loud as Spencer, Will does boast it’s share of humorous encounters.
“‘A selfie? You want me to take a picture of my dick?’ –Will
‘Yep.’ –Mags
‘I think you’re confusing me with Spencer.’”–Will
Speaking of Spencer, he and Jazz are also an integral part of the story, infusing both drama and laughs, and I adored reading about them once again. While I’m not sure it’s what she intended, the author definitely whetted my appetite for a bonus story on them. Hint, Hint, Kerry Heavens. I’m dying here for a little baking adventure novella for those two. I think you know what oven I’m talking about! ;-)

Let me preface my review by saying that I'm a huge fan of the author's Just Human two-book series and of her standalone novel Spencer. So I'm glad I gave this 'not your average British romance' a chance even though unfortunately I didn't love it as much as her previous novels.
Story:
It was interesting to see how this second chance romance played out as Mags and Will (both introduced in his cousin's novel, Spencer) figured out and embraced their newly discovered Sub and Dom roles in the bedroom. I'm not a BDSM trope fan really, so I was relieved that they stayed away from hardcore humiliation aspects of BDSM. Our hero Will was awkward yet charming, and Mags was delightfully confident and determined to show Will he deserved and was worthy of her love. I also loved that Will's cousin Spencer always showed up with a well timed crack that made me laugh.
Favorite Mags Quote:
'#Hers'
Favorite Will Quote:
'To feel owned from just her look alone is more than I fantasised about.'
Writing style/editing:
Overall, I mostly enjoyed Will. However, there were a shocking amount of typos to the point that I was taken out of the moment regularly. I hope there's a future re-edit planned to clean it up because I'd love for Kerry's fan base to keep growing. I also think Will would make a great audiobook. Who doesn't love hearing sexy male Brit accents come to life with a great narrator?

Roll reversals and even more drama, yes just like Spencer, Will has a flair for making his love life, HARD!
Spencer left me wanting slightly, so it was Will’s turn to try and save the day but with Spencer as a cousin, the question is, can Will outshine his exuberant relative?
Well, the answer is a mixed one - yes and no. You really couldn’t have had two people so different. Spencer is a boyish and mostly loveable rogue, with somewhat childish tendencies, where Will is lacking in confidence and self-belief and that’s the real reason why he has kept his distance from Mags. Having loved her before, and having pushed himself away from her, mainly due a class issue: she has it and he believes he’s not worthy of her, Will must now face his fears and decide whether he can ever move on from what they shared.
With Spencer his proverbial nemesis, Will struggles to live life to the full and continues to fall some way behind Mags’ friends and family but with Spencer dating Mags’ best friend, Jazz, he simply can’t avoid Mags. It’s not until Spencer, being Spencer, liberates one of the many books that Mags has written, under a pseudonym, that he starts to see her in a different light. Mags writes smut and does so with a healthy dose of female empowerment, yes, Mags likes to take control and for Will, having hidden his own dream of being dominated, this news may just save him from himself.
The only problem Will has though, is with himself. Sadly, Will is just like you or I, in that if you’re going to do something off-kilter, then you’re going to get caught, and he does, repeatedly, by Spencer of all people. Mags is determined to help Will to overcome his fears though and pushes him hard to accept himself for what he is: a man who just likes to be dominated. Whilst kink is all good and well, this story doesn’t take it into the realms of impossibility. It merely shows how it can be healthy between two normal people who like to spice things up by being tied, shackled, flogged etc, but in a much less dark way that is portrayed in BDSM themed books. Will is the man that secretly lives within all of us. He wants to try and live his sexuality without judgement and to just enjoy being himself but when he decides on a particularly inappropriate safe word, it’s clear that Will’s pain will become cruelly psychological.
This was a really funny story, despite the sadness surround poor Will and his endeavours at times. Will was like a breath of fresh air after experiencing Spencer, which is like living at Mach 10! Will was sweet, kind, sensitive, vulnerable, insecure and everything that Spencer isn’t. Spencer continues to titillate throughout this story though and even has his own hurdle or two to overcome, whilst realising that to be in a committed relationship, he needs to grow up.
I was pleasantly surprised by this series. After initially wanting to inflict bodily harm on Spencer, he did start to grow on me and Will, alongside Spencer, just smoothed out his edges. Will, on the other hand, made this instalment a more palatable one and despite his insecurities, which did start to grate, especially after the 10th time of him believing that he wasn’t good enough for Mags and misinterpreting a situation he found himself in. I’d definitely recommend reading both of these stories concurrently though as this gave me the benefit of a smooth transition from Spencer to Will, especially as Will’s story starts on the tail end of Spencer’s book.
Definitely, a duo of books to read when you’re looking for something lighthearted but comically entertaining. If you can survive all that is Spencer that is!

4 1/2 stars!
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
Okay, I read the synopsis, but I was not expecting this book to be what it was about. Think second chance romance with a kinky twist. What a pleasant surprise!
Will and Mags were once very much in love, but he let his insecurities get in the way. In Spencer we learned that Will went to Australia to make sure that his cousin didn't do anything stupid, but in the process he essentially abandoned Mags. But now he is back and has been hired to renovate Mags' father's house. And she is the one supervising the renovations. Perfect.
The book basically picks up after Spencer so we know that Mags & Will are now friends. What they don't realize is that they are both carrying a torch for the other person. They finally give in to their attraction and have a super sexy night together, but the next day Will acts as though it was a mistake. Then add in the fact that Mags' friend JJ is hanging around and way more suitable for her and Will has pretty much given up on a reconciliation. But then Spencer (Thank god for him!) hands him one of Mags' books and that changes EVERYTHING. I won't say anything more than that because it's just so good. Trust me.
I really did enjoy this book. I loved Will. He had these moments when I wanted to hug the crap out of him because he was so damn adorable, but then he was in also involved in things that made me want to take a cold shower! Whew. And Mags! Seemingly sweet and innocent Mags. Put these two together and you got a freaking hot story!

" Sex has suddenly become an intellectual game"
Will worships the ground Mags walks on- She's his angel. However, out of the blue he broke her heart despite having strong feelings for her.
Mags is an independent, gorgeous, driven woman- She has all the traits of a good dominant. Will is back into her life and she soon realises that he is her kryptonite. Can she trust him again? Is will still insecure and feeling that he is not good enough for Mags " the goddess"?
I did not really know what to expect when I started to read Will . I found the story a bit confusing to start with but I'm glad I stuck with it. Kerry Heavens wrote a beautiful and sexy story about second chances, about exploring the deepest sexual desires of her characters.
"I control everything: his pleasure, his safety, his wellbeing, even his self-worth "
3.25 stars from me as I prefer my male characters a little stronger and for this reason I found some passages a challenge to read.

Will
This is a glorious book. Kerry Heavens writes characters that are never sugar-coated and leaves it to her readers to see them as they are. Like them? Love them? Hate them? It's up to us. I loved this story and the chance to get inside Will and Mags' hearts. Every moment spent there was topsy turvy and stunningly dirty. But in that that we see the love that they have for each other and even deeper still an honesty that was breathtaking. Enjoy.
Happy reading.

Kerry Heavens has written one heck of a scorching hot story with Will! After meeting Will and Mags in Spencer, I was more than a little intrigued by the undeniable tension and obvious residual feelings that lingered between this former couple. A sucker for second-chance romance, I couldn’t wait to see what made these two characters tick, what broke them, and how they’d find a way to mend. Kerry Heavens took me by complete surprise with Will and Mags’ story, delivering something raw and unapologetically real that gave me all the feels… and then some. A bonus dose of Spencer and Jazz made this novel absolutely sparkle. Their ridiculous antics, shameless PDA, and hilarious banter gave this story the levity it needed to balance Will and Mags’ intensity. I loved having all four of these fantastic characters back in one place. Together they encompass a feeling of family that had me immediately hooked on this great series.
Mags and Will were so very different from Spencer and Jazz and yet their story was equally enthralling. Mags made for a great heroine. I loved seeing this fierce, independent, and confident woman take control of her life and her relationship. As Kerry Heavens developed this character, we got to unravel Mags and peeling back the poised layers to reveal the inner badass was incredibly satisfying. Will, on the other hand, was equally as complex and I absolutely adored the way in which this character came to light over the course of the story. His easy role as Spencer’s mild-mannered and insecure sidekick proved to be the perfect jumping off point for some serious growth. With Mags’ help, Will’s perceived weaknesses proved to be the thing that made him and their relationship so much stronger the second time around. As they settled into their rebooted relationship, Mags and Will continued to explore their new dynamic and eventually evolved together in a way that made them absolute equals. It was this newfound sense of belonging and the courage with which they wholly embraced one another that made my heart swell with love for these two.
Admittedly, I had a harder time completely connecting with the characters than I did with the first book in the series. A lot of that was because the majority of their relationship seemed to center around their illicit encounters. While I enjoyed the delicious heat and absolute trust that so obviously radiated from each of their interludes, the frequency with which the story fell back on these scenes kept the couple at arm’s length for me. I wanted their relationship to have more emotional depth, and while Kerry Heavens hinted at a more significant connection between them, there were times when the story focused too much on the physical aspect of their relationship for me to really appreciate anything more between them. I also missed the clever integration of social media that we had with Spencer’s book, especially since Mags made such a big deal about Will’s lack of a Twitter account. I kept waiting for them to utilize his new account to build their relationship outside of the bedroom only for the topic to have seemingly disappeared completely.
Since Will was a second chance romance, there was definitely some catching up to do in order for this story to stand alone and because of the amount of information thrown at the reader right off the bat, it took me a while to get into this one. However, once I was fully immersed in Will and Mags’ world, their story flowed easily and I found myself captivated by this unconventional couple. Will and Mags were certainly every bit the unexpected pair, but when they finally found their groove, they were enchanting in every way. Kerry Heavens has a knack for writing Romantic Comedy, and while there was much less blatant humor in this book, she still made me laugh at all the right moments. Not only were there some seriously great one-liners, but throw in a couple mortifying moments and an awkward encounter or two and Will kept me grinning from beginning to end. Kerry Heavens’ writing is as colorful as ever, perfectly capturing this bold and beautiful love story and serving up some obviously heartfelt emotion for readers to enjoy along with all of the sizzle and sass.
Mags and Will were so very different from Spencer and Jazz and yet their story was equally enthralling. Mags made for a great heroine. I loved seeing this fierce, independent, and confident woman take control of her life and her relationship. As Kerry Heavens developed this character, we got to unravel Mags and peeling back the poised layers to reveal the inner badass was incredibly satisfying. Will, on the other hand, was equally as complex and I absolutely adored the way in which this character came to light over the course of the story. His easy role as Spencer’s mild-mannered and insecure sidekick proved to be the perfect jumping off point for some serious growth. With Mags’ help, Will’s perceived weaknesses proved to be the thing that made him and their relationship so much stronger the second time around. As they settled into their rebooted relationship, Mags and Will continued to explore their new dynamic and eventually evolved together in a way that made them absolute equals. It was this newfound sense of belonging and the courage with which they wholly embraced one another that made my heart swell with love for these two.
Admittedly, I had a harder time completely connecting with the characters than I did with the first book in the series. A lot of that was because the majority of their relationship seemed to center around their illicit encounters. While I enjoyed the delicious heat and absolute trust that so obviously radiated from each of their interludes, the frequency with which the story fell back on these scenes kept the couple at arm’s length for me. I wanted their relationship to have more emotional depth, and while Kerry Heavens hinted at a more significant connection between them, there were times when the story focused too much on the physical aspect of their relationship for me to really appreciate anything more between them.

Will and Mags rediscover their passion for each other sprinkling in some drama, angst and fun. Their emotions yo-yo back and forth because they know what they want, don't know how to get it, but end up giving in. Mags has done well for herself as an author and Will finds out some of her deep, down secrets and desires. These secrets definitely turn their relationship's excitement up several notches!
The story was written well with good characters and plenty (!!!) of sexy scenes. But, for me, I felt like there were too many sex scenes and not enough of a great story that brings in emotions to leave you with any time of book hangover. With the number of new age romance stories out there today, books need something different and a twist to get you sucked in and appreciate the creativity of the story. Switching the alpha male to alpha female looking to unlock her deep desires wasn't quite enough for me.

Will is book 2 in this series after we met him in Spencer's story in book 1.
I will start off saying i did really like this book but it is completely different to Spencers in my opinion which isn't a bad thing as these characters are so different.
Will thinls hes missed his chance with Mags after diaappearing on her to support his cousin Spencer through a difficult time... then Mags suddenly appears back in his life proving to him that his feelings have never changed.
Mags comes from money and leads a completely different life style to Will so he doesnt think he stands a chance in getting her back when a chance read of the book tat shes written brings them closer than he ever could have wished for!
Not giving away any spoilers but love the little roll reversal that happens in this story!
Fun love friendship emotions and much more thrown into one fab read!

What a breath of fresh air this was! The whole role reversal with the leading man not being alpha isn’t normally my kinda read but hell, Ms Heavens proved that a submissive male and alpha female can be sizzling hot.
I loved the character Will, in Kerry’s previous book Spencer. A character that is so easy to fall in love with. Painfully awkward, he really came into his own in this story. His journey of finding himself and feeling comfortable in his own skin, with the much needed help and skills from Mags, proved to be a beautiful and engaging story.
While I believe you could read this as a standalone, you will benefit from reading Spencer first so you understand all the history between the characters.

I started Will as a die hard Spencer fan. Hell, I was a Spencer groupie. Will barely caught my attention while reading Spencer.
Someone call the cops, I'd like to report a theft. Will stole my heart!
Will is filled with the sarcasm and wit of Spencer, and now add some heartbreak, love and kink! You can never go wrong with kink.
Thank you Kerry Heavens for the chance to review your ARC of Will and for sharing your Not Your Average British Romance world with us. I'm still hoping that this is just the beginning and you have more to share in this world.
Anyone who has not read Spencer, you need to do so now and while you're at it purchase Will as well and enjoy the ride.

This is a second chance at love and romance for Will and Mags. I wasn’t sure I was going to like this, I did, I really did. I have never read a book like that, but like I said I am glad I did.
This was a good read. I really enjoyed it. Will is a classic good guy. He is loving, caring and has so many feelings for Mags. He also has a bit of insecurities. Mags is feisty and a strong minded woman. She is high society and doesn’t let it rule her. She is down to earth. She knows what she wants and how to get it. Will is just putty in her hands.
I liked seeing the tables turned.

I loved Will in the last book (Spencer)but this new side of him is so much hotter! I thought Spencer was fantastic, sexy, arrogant a real bad boy but Will......oh boy, he is just amazing. Mags and Wills relationship is exciting, sexy, kinky and in a weird way really sweet. I love all the characters, they are all quite different but they work brilliantly together. This is another great book by Kerry.

Will and Mag's were in love young, but Will thought Mags deserved a "good guy" so he broke her heart and left her. Now two years later her father has a proposition for Will. He is worried. he will come face to face with a happily married Mag's, but that's what he wanted right? A great read and super sexy..

An enjoyable story, although not the one I was actually expecting if I'm being totally honest. However I did enjoy it, after a bit of a slow start it did pick up and this group of characters are all extremely likable. As for the story it was at times fun, full of heat, had a little of emotion and I would recommend it to others. Although you will need to have read Spencer before starting this one.

I hate when they just can’t be happy
I felt like I connected more with Spencer and Jazz. I don’t know I was really looking forward to seeing their growth in this book, even if it was behind the scenes, but they just kept back tracking. I’m a hopeless romantic. I read these books to get lost in fantasy, not hardship.

I enjoyed Spencer and figured I would like Will. I knew he was different from Spencer but I just didn't connect with the story. It was a lot of back and forth and some of the verbiage just didn't flow well with the story.
Wasn't for me but doesn't mean it won't be for you.

Even weeks after I finished the book I keep recommending the book in real life.
It is such a lovely and funny book! Will is completely adorable and Mags is such a gorgeous counter part to him - they are complementing each other perfectly: they are a match made in heaven!
Just thinking about my favorite scenes it still makes me smile and laugh out loud!
So grateful this book was written because it really makes me happy! :)

4.5 stars - Erotic British second chance romance with a fierce female who likes to dominate and a male who enjoys submitting
Will is a second chance romance set in a small town village between two former lovers mixed with an erotic edge. Being a new reader to Kerry Heavens I had no idea what to expect but I really enjoyed this book. Being an English reader, I always enjoy it when you can tell a book is authentically British and very realistic with the settings and mannerisms of characters rather than how ‘British’ can be perceived. The book is well written with a good plot, plenty of romance, steamy scenes and drama to keep things interesting from start to finish. Also, while this is the second book in a series, be assured you can read it as a standalone read as I personally haven’t read the previous book and followed along no problem as the author gives just enough details to fill you in on any important things you need to know.
Will and Mags, who tell the book through dual perspectives, have a clear sizzling connection, especially being former lovers. As the book evolves, their relationship reveals new sides to both characters as they embrace and learn of each others deeply hidden personal desires. Mags is a strong and feisty woman who likes to take control, while, in contrast, Will is the more vulnerable of the two characters and finds to be his best self he is a man who needs someone to control him and challenge him. Despite being opposites, including family status’, both are perfect together and enable each to shine to their best by being together while figuring out things (including with a few added kinky twists). The sub-characters in the book also play an important role in developing the two characters and showing their whole personalities. Both characters are likeable and will completely draw you in to their story.
Will is witty, well written second chance romance with a steady flow and pace to the book. If I’m truly honest, I found it a little hard initially to get into the story and figure things out but the flow quickly improved with understanding after a couple of chapters. There were plenty of surprising twists and turns along the way to keep you guessing and making in not fully predictable. The book, in terms of the erotic/BDSM type scenes and the submissive/domme roles, isn’t the most hardcore erotica, more two people who trust each other exploring their boundaries in regard to control and having fun as their relationship develops. Don’t get me wrong, the scenes are hot and so well written but if you are looking for hardcore BDSM type scenes, you won’t find them in this book (personally hardcore BDSM isn’t my thing so I loved this book’s portrayal). Will does have a HEA ending making this a standalone read.
Overall, if you are looking for an erotic second chance romance with a fierce female who likes to dominate and a male who enjoys submitting, I would definitely suggest you give this book a try!

**4 I Really Loved Will Stars**
Oh my what a role reversal here in this book. I liked Will, no I loved Will.
This is a second chance at love and romance for Will and Mags. I wasn’t sure I was going to like this, I did, I really did. I have never read a book like that, but like I said I am glad I did.
This was a good read. I really enjoyed it. Will is a classic good guy. He is loving, caring and has so many feelings for Mags. He also has a bit of insecurities. Mags is feisty and a strong minded woman. She is high society and doesn’t let it rule her. She is down to earth. She knows what she wants and how to get it. Will is just putty in her hands.
I liked seeing the tables turned. As the book progresses we see the change. Fantasies come out and are played out. You don’t get to see it often. Will patience is tested quite a bit by Mags. Lets not forget Spencer. Will has no patience or a high tolerance for Spencer. The bedroom door scene…..hilarious. I laughed out loud at times. Mags made her point. That’s what she was trying for and she nailed it. I loved Mags as well. They have very good chemistry going on. It’s hot and the sex will ignite. These two trust each other. Mags brings Will out of his shell a bit. There is a brief moment where I had to think there is going to be drama. It was there but it makes for a good story. We have to have a little drama. I also enjoyed reading about the persons in the previous book. Spencer was a good read, but I really liked Will more. I recommend this book if you want a strong, fierce, and controlling woman and a sweet, loving ready to give his heart man, that trust each other. This story has some BDSM in it but it really isn't hardcore. Its more love and trust like I said.

In Spencer, Heaven's secondary cast of characters Will and Mag's caught my attention. Their story of lost love enraptured me, two people who had found their happy place with each other, but for reasons that seemed far bigger at the time went their separate ways, reconnecting years later it's clear that neither has truly moved on, and despite talking their break up to death nothing was ever entirely solved. When the mild mannered Will dropped everything including the love of his life to help his cousin Spencer, now that Spencer has his life sorted out and is embarking on a new relationship with Jazz, Will is free to find out Mags would ever consider giving him another chance.
Mags has been making a successful living as a published author in the years that followed her tumultuous break up with Will, keeping her penname under wraps has meant that she is able to protect her anonymity, with only select people being privy to knowing all the exploits she
creates in her fictional worlds. When Will discovers who Mags is, worlds align and things start to make sense for possibly the first time ever, what ensues is an often comedic, always heartwarming and sexy tale of second chances, and new beginnings. Heavens takes the reader on a journey I was not at all expecting, with her trademark wit, the author managed to take me somewhere I didn't expect and yet somewhere I enjoyed immensely. From awkwardly sexy to laugh out loud funny, to cringe worthy embarrassing and sweet and tender, Will and Mags story was the perfect balance of entirely fictitious and believably real, dealing with past hurt feelings, old fears and self doubts, new experiences and kinks, and a cavalcade of situations that call for the testing of limits and the depth of their once again new relationship ensures the reader will be invested from start to finish. Funny, fresh and a new take on second chance romance that I adored, Will was the perfect summer romance that left me wanting more.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
This was my first book to read by Kerry Heavens and my first full on story about a BDSM couple where the "top" was a Domme and the "bottom" was a man. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline surrounding the main characters, though I kind of wish I'd read the first book of the series (this can be read as a standalone, but book one gives more history as to why this is a second chance story). Through all the BDSM factors of the relationship, this is a sweet love story and the juxtaposition of a sweet love in a D/s relationship just enhances the depth of the trope.
Fantasies previously hidden away are brought to life in this second chance romance. "Will" encompasses a D/s relationship between Will and Mags, where their worlds are divided by money and status but not by their growing love for each other. Jealousy and heartbreak can't even keep these two from forming the strongest bond there can be: deep, soul-piercing, unconditional love.
Another factor I loved about this book was the role reversal. More often than not, books in this genre typically cast the hero as the dominant character so seeing a strong woman with a heart of gold in a domineering position was refreshing. Mags was written well, balancing the domme side with being the everyday girlfriend, and Will made my heart melt, though his character's insecurity and preoccupation with their differences in wealth and status frustrated me throughout.
In closing, I'll say that this book is definitely hot but no in the way most are in this genre. I'll likely go back and read book one which tells the story of Spencer and Jazz.

I've been waiting for this book.
I absolutely LOVED Spencer when Kerry Heavens released him into the wild last year. He was the guy we loved to hate - sexy, arrogant, and cocky. His cousin Will, on the other hand, seemed to be the opposite of all those things. And THAT is what initially drew me to him. He's a mystery waiting to be unraveled.
Now we finally get to hear his story, and what he and Mags have is probably one of the hottest exchanges I've read in a long, long time.
Mags and Will have a history together, one that didn't turn out the way either of them wanted. Now they have a second chance, if only Will can believe that he's actually good enough to be with her. But Mags can be very persuasive and plans to make sure Will knows just how much he's worth by the time she'd done with him.
I absolutely LOVED this book! Both Will and Mags were amazing characters. The role reversal between them was nothing short of amazing and I couldn't help falling in love with Will as the story moved along. Watching him let loose of his inhibitions and finally explore this side of himself is a real treat, and Mags is just the perfect person to help him do it.
It's a fantastic story. And don't worry, you'll get plenty of Spencer and Jazz too. But this is very much Will's story and it's a truly spectacular one!
Five-stars! Will can probably be read as a stand-alone, but come on, why would you want to deprive yourself of getting to know Spencer, Jazz, Mags, and Will beforehand? Will picks up right where Spencer leaves off and it's definitely worth the extra read.
I absolutely LOVED Spencer when Kerry Heavens released him into the wild last year. He was the guy we loved to hate - sexy, arrogant, and cocky. His cousin Will, on the other hand, seemed to be the opposite of all those things. And THAT is what initially drew me to him. He's a mystery waiting to be unraveled.
Now we finally get to hear his story, and what he and Mags have is probably one of the hottest exchanges I've read in a long, long time.
Mags and Will have a history together, one that didn't turn out the way either of them wanted. Now they have a second chance, if only Will can believe that he's actually good enough to be with her. But Mags can be very persuasive and plans to make sure Will knows just how much he's worth by the time she'd done with him.
