Book Blurb

She has a secret.

I’m complicated. Not broken or ruined or running from a past I can’t face. Just complicated. I thought my life couldn’t get any more tangled in deceit and confusion. But I hadn’t met him. I hadn't realized how far I could fall or what I'd do to get free. He has a secret. I’ve never pretended to be good or deserving. I chase who I want, do what I want, act how I want. I didn’t have time to lust after a woman I had no right to lust after. I told myself to shut up and stay hidden. But then she tried to run. I’d tasted what she could offer me and damned if I would let her go. One secret destroys them.

Teaser

Hazel It was the best kiss I’d ever received, but also the worst. It sparked lust and need in every inch of me. My lips wanted more, my tongue wanted savagery. My skin wanted to bruise because he needed to touch me so badly. All my thoughts disappeared as I nipped at his bottom lip. He flinched, but a second later he copied, his sharp canines piercing my oversensitive flesh. I moaned. I couldn’t take it. My hands flew up and gripped his shirt. Yanking him toward me, fireworks whizzed in my fingertips; my heart galloped toward exploding with lust. I’d never been so drunk on someone before. Then I landed flat on my back. The crack of my skull jangled my teeth. The thick carpet did little to cushion me. My eyes flared wide and I grunted in pain. Fear, hot and terrible, swamped my lust in a dampening wave. “Top rule. Unbreakable rule. Don’t. Ever. Touch. Me.” Fox kneeled on one knee beside my head, breathing hard. His hand noosed my throat, pressing my spine into the carpet. His eyes were cold and lifeless, looking like a hunter intent on blood.

She’s a woman with a dirty secret. I’m complicated. Not broken or ruined or running from a past I can’t face. Just complicated. For good reason. I thought my life couldn’t get any more tangled in deceit and confusion. But I hadn’t met him. I hadn’t been sucked into his lies or taught to run from everything that he is. Instead, I let him ensnare me, seduce me, trap me with secrets—Hazel Hunter He’s a man with a killer secret. I’ve never pretended to be good or deserving. Despite the shadows I live in, I’m ultimately a slave to my secrets and that gives me a free pass to chase who I want, be who I want, act how I want. I didn’t have time to lust after a woman I had no right to lust after. I told myself to shut up and stay hidden. But how could I deny her? How could I deny my one chance at redemption? But then she tried to run. I’d found a cure to my existence and damned if I would let her go—Roan Fox And secrets silently destroy them.

I didn’t believe her when she said she was complicated.

She didn’t believe me when I said I had secrets.

I didn’t understand the truth, even when she let me glimpse behind her mask.

She didn’t understand that I couldn’t live with the consequences.

I thought she was a saint.

She thought I was a sinner.

Too bad we didn’t try to find the truth.

We both paid the price.

We destroyed each other.

*REVIEW* "Tears Of Tess" by Pepper Winters

A New Adult Dark Contemporary Romance, not suitable for people sensitive to grief, slavery, and nonconsensual sex. A story about finding love in the strangest of places, a will of iron that grows from necessity, and forgiveness that may not be enough.

“My life was complete. Happy, content, everything neat and perfect.
Then it all changed.
I was sold.”

Tess Snow has everything she ever wanted: one more semester before a career in property development, a loving boyfriend, and a future dazzling bright with possibility. 

For their two year anniversary, Brax surprises Tess with a romantic trip to Mexico. Sandy beaches, delicious cocktails, and soul-connecting sex set the mood for a wonderful holiday. With a full heart, and looking forward to a passion filled week, Tess is on top of the world.

But lusty paradise is shattered.

Kidnapped. Drugged. Stolen. Tess is forced into a world full of darkness and terror. 

Captive and alone with no savior, no lover, no faith, no future, Tess evolves from terrified girl to fierce fighter. But no matter her strength, it can’t save her from the horror of being sold.

Can Brax find Tess before she’s broken and ruined, or will Tess’s new owner change her life forever?

____________________________________________

____________________________________________

"Tears of Tess" was definitely unlike any book I've read in a LONG long time. Honestly, the synopsis doesn't do it justice, it is SO much more in-depth than what I thought I was getting into. Tess, is one BAD ASS girl, and she now rivals almost everyone for my favorite book-chick. Even while being kidnapped, she doesn't go without a fight. During her stay with her kidnappers, again, she fought. And once she was sold, she continued her fight. It. Was. Awesome.

"I'm not a sweet, innocent girl who wants cotton candy and sonnets. I'm a fighter, a slut, a woman who needed to be taught her own body."

Although Tess and Brax have been together for two years, she has always held back. Brax was safe, and she would do anything to keep it that way, and keep her world in a bubble, even if that meant compromising what she deeply truly feels inside. However, that does not mean that Brax isn't amazing. Brax is a wonderful guy, but Tess.. needs more.

"I let Brax shove me back into the box where I belonged. The box labeled: perfect, innocent girlfriend who'd do anything for him, as long as it was in the dark and on my back.I wanted a new label. One that said: girlfriend who will do anything to be tied, spanked, and fucked all over rather than adored."

Tess is a complicated girl (still, totally bad ass), so when she is finally "sold" off, and meets her new Master, Q, her entirely world gets totally turned upside down. She hovers the thin line between wanting to run as fast and as far as possible, or wanting to give in to the abrasive man that she now belongs to. 

"Two things I wanted most in the world: for Q to die a miserable death, and for him to fuck me."

This book.. was a mind fuck. It was. Part of me was just as confused as she was, another part totally understood, and another part wanted to high five her. Then when yet another crazy twist happens, I had the "wait.. what just happened" face, and starting rooting in another direction. It was crazy. 

Put it this way, I finished this book 2 days ago, I'm just writing my review now. It took me a couple of days to have this fully sink in. And the ending of the book? I was THRILLED with it.

I'd definitely recommend this one guys, and I'm seriously looking forward to "Quintessentially Q".

Favorite Quote:

"He didn't make my soul sing. He made it weep, and scream, and tear itself into pieces."

Excerpt

This was it. My new beginning. My new ending. I didn’t know what beheld my fate, but I sucked in a breath and stepped over the threshold. “Bon soir, esclave.” My eyes soared up to the first landing of a giant blue velvet staircase. Massive works of art hung like armament on gold gilded walls. A man in a grey chequered suit, with black shirt, silver tie, and slicked back hair watched me from the landing. His gaze unclothed me, terrified me. I stepped back, bumping against guard who didn’t let me go any further. He bent his head and whispered in my ear, his breath tickling my neck. “Say hello to your new master.”
