Book Review: Final Debt (Indebted #6) by Pepper Winters #Giveaway

Finally, it's here! The thrilling, erotic, nail biting, "OMFG I can't take anymore!" conclusion to Pepper Winters' Indebted series. I was equal parts anxious for this book and terrified of it. I have never been so scared and stressed out while reading before. At about the 40% point or so I wanted to rip my damn hair out. Seriously, it made me binge eat junk food and I have been working extra hard to eat clean!

Nila, Jethro and those they care about have all gone through agonizing pain to get to where they are. How much more can any of them take before they buckle and crack? Oh trust me, you're going to find out and live all of the pain yourself. I loved these star-crossed lovers from the very first word of their story and no one deserves a happily ever after more than they do. But is that really in the cards for them? Can they put a stop to this heinous debt inheritance before the final debt is collected? Blood will be shed, tears will be cried and you may even want to hide your Kindle in fear. (I don't recommend putting it in the freezer).

This entire book had me tense with apprehension. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next while simultaneously being terrified of it. I did not a breath a deep sigh of relief until I got to the end and knew no more damn pain was coming. What an epic journey this series has been and I loved every second of it. Thank you Ms. Winters.

Book Review: Fourth Debt (Indebted #5) by Pepper Winters

This series. Dear God this series. I've been hooked since the first book and each one after has been more twisted and more captivating than the previous. How much pain does one couple have to go through to get their happily ever after?

We pick up where last book left off, and I am going to be purposefully vague here in case anyone who has never read any of these yet is reading this review. Third Debt ended with the biggest cliff hanger yet and we are left wondering did that craziness really happen? Yes. Yes it did. What happens now? Nila has lost her only two allies in the hell that is her life, is there anyone left that she can trust? Pepper did a fantastic job of keeping us on our toes with this installment, wondering who, if anyone, was on Nila's side. Nila is physcially and mentally tortured at the hands of the three sickos left in charge and you can truly feel her starting to deteriorate and give up. Just when you think there is a sliver of hope that Nila might get out, the end comes with yet another twist and hope is once again snuffed out.

Book Review: Professor Cline: Redeemed (The Professor #2) by J.M. La Rocca

This is the second and final book in The Professor series from J.M. La Rocca. You must read book one, Professor Cline: Revealed, first! Secrets will be revealed, questions will finally be answered and lives just may be splintered apart.

I have been anxious to get my greedy hands on this book from the moment I finished the first one. I fell in love with Mason back in Professor Cline: Revealed, with his dominating sexy ways and shattered soul. That love only grew more here. I wanted him to have his wicked way with me, over and over again, and then I just wanted to wrap him up in my arms and hug the fuck out of him. If any man needs a good hug, it's him. My heart broke for all he has endured and for all the pain he has hidden from the world.

Book Review: Third Debt (Indebted #4) by Pepper Winters #Giveaway

What the hell just happened!?! OMG I am still processing it all and I just can't believe it. This sat on my Kindle for over a week before I worked up the courage to even think about opening it. Dear God my emotions went through the ringer during the course of this book and I'm not sure I will ever recover.

I started Third Debt nervous as all get out and that quickly changed to scared and from there down right petrified and then sad and happy and sad again. And now with that cliffy I am just beyond horrified. I don't think there is even a word to describe how I feel. Where the hell do they go from here?

Indebted is my first series by Pepper Winters and I swear each book gets better and better. This one completely ripped out my insides and splattered them all around. I only hope I can put the pieces back together again. The wait for the next installment is going to be pure agony.

Oh look, I did find the word to describe my feelings after all. Agony. But oh my was it worth every single ounce of pain.

Excerpt Reveal: Third Debt (Indebted #4) by Pepper Winters

Two Months Prior...

Jethro

I MEANT WHAT I said before.
I meant it with every bone in my body.
Someone has to die.
I still stood by that conclusion. Only, I’d hoped it wouldn’t be me.
Too bad wishes never come true.
I’d always wondered what it would feel like. How I would react, knowing that I’d failed. I’d lain awake so many nights trying to imagine how I would behave when my father finally had enough. I’d scared myself shitless fearing I wouldn’t be strong enough, brave enough, to face the consequences I’d lived with all my life.
But none of that mattered now. I’d done what I swore never to do and revealed myself. My father knew there was no changing me—he would come for me.
But so fucking what?
She’s safe.
That was all I needed to focus on.
I’d done my utmost to be the perfect son, but I’d been fighting an unwinnable battle. No matter how much I wished I could be like them—I wasn’t. And it was pointless to keep fighting.
Not anymore.  I’m done.

Book Review: Professor Cline Revealed (The Professor #1) by J.M. La Rocca

Professor Mason line doesn't do relationships. He uses woman for sex and nothing more. No dating, no emotions, just ruthless, mind blowing release. Law student Emma Blake needs to focus on her studies and stay away from men, but that's kind of hard when you're professor is drop dead gorgeous. Is she up for having some fun with Mason or should she steer clear for him.

The best word to describe how this book made me feel is desperate. Desperate for more hot sexy times (and they were hot) with Mason. Desperate for more information about him, his past, and what made him the way he is now. Clearly he has some issues, he can be a total prick and keeps sending Emma mixed signals, but you there is just so much pain there and I can't hate him for any of it. The author did an excellent job of conveying that and I swear I could feel every ounce of his pain in my own body. I wanted to climb into the book and take it all away for him. Emma is a bit of a pushover at the start but I have a feeling we are going to see her grow a lot by the time the series is over.

Book Review: Mr. X by Clarissa Wild

Jay has never been a good girl. Even when she was young she's pushed the limits; constantly rebelling against a father that was always disappointed with her. Yes, she's done a lot of messed up stuff in her life, but she still can't figure out what led to this stranger pointing a gun at her and promising to kill her. The man who asks to be called Mr. X.

A stranger. The fact that she doesn't remember him only infuriates X more. He has spent years waiting to get his revenge and now the time is here. But he can't pull that trigger. Not yet, anyway. No, he'll spend some time extracting a little more revenge from her delectable body.

So fair warning, this is a dark erotic novel. There is nothing sweet about Jay and X together. No not sweet at all, but delicious none the less. Their "relationship," if you want to call it that, is completely f'd up. X is such a mystery from start to finish of the story. The author throws you into the deep end right of the start, showing us just how gruesome he can be. I immediately got sucked in and wanted to delve into his mind, find out why he is the way he is. There is obviously a lot of pain buried in that mind and I wanted to dig it out.

Book Review: UnRaveled by K. Bromberg

So nearly two months after reading this I am finally getting around to writing my review. Procrastinate much? Yup, that's me. Right, let's get on with it then! ;)

Apparently, people really had their panties in a twist about this novella, causing the Bend Anthology to be banned on Amazon, and I just don't get why. It clearly states that this is a dark erotic story, so what did people expect?

This is a captive/captor tale with an interesting twist. Is it dark? Yes. Is it fucked up? yes. And is it perfectly written? Hell yes! K. Bromberg did a fantastic job with this one. I felt just as conflicted as the heroine did. I felt her guilt. I felt her arousal. I felt her everything. Now the twist didn't surprise me at all, but for a few  minutes there I thought I might have speculated wrong. Bravo to K. for a brilliant dark novella. No this story isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy darker stories and can handle the non-consensual sex, then give it a try!

Book Review: Raw by Belle Aurora

Take everything that you know about romance books and love stories and just throw them out the damn window. Raw is unlike any book I have read before. It is erotic and emotional and fucked up and well...just raw. That is probably the most appropriate book title ever. Twitch is not a good guy in any way, but Lexi doesn't care. She's drawn to him and there is no way she can stop herself from indulging. And while his original goal was to hurt her - break her - he realizes he can't because he loves her. He has always loved her.

Nothing went down in this book as I expected it to. It kept me on my toes while also keeping me hot and bothered. To say there is a surprise ending is an understatement. It was just a pretty monumental shock for me. And while readers seem to be begging for a sequel, there won't be one. At first I was one of those people screaming "No way! It can't end like this! I need more!" But after taking some time to let it all sink in and reflect, I get it. I get why it ended the way it did and I get why there won't be more. It is truly and painfully brilliant and one of my favorite reads of 2014.
