Quintessentially Q by Pepper Winters

 “All my life, I battled with the knowledge I was twisted… fucked up to want something so deliciously dark—wrong on so many levels. But then slave fifty-eight entered my world. Hissing, fighting, with a core of iron, she showed me an existence where two wrongs make a right."

Tess is Q’s completely. Q is Tess’s irrevocably. But now, they must learn the boundaries of their unconventional relationship, while Tess seeks vengeance on the men who sold her. Q made a blood-oath to deliver their corpses at Tess’s feet, and that’s just what he’ll do.

He may be a monster, but he’s Tess’s monster

Review

Omg the suspense in the book was killing me. The things they did to tess were just horrible. They were extremely horrible. My heart wept for her. 
And poor Q, he went threw hell before he found her. The things he did  for her, the things he did so he could find her. Only to find a shell of the women he loved. And he almost, almost gave up on her. As she did on herself and on there relationship. Omg the things he did so he could have her back were heart wrenching. The things she did to him. Thank the gods, that helped her pull threw. They have a really weird sexual relationship. The need and passion Q has to hurt Tess, and the Need tess has to get hurt, I don't think I can fully understand or want but it works for them. I'm glad they found a balance so they can create a healthy relationship. I can't wait till the final installment of this series. I need for these two to have an happy ending. 
I really like the side characters in this serries to. They don't have really big roles, but on the other hand they have. I liked them, they were important without taking over the story. 
I liked fredrick. He really reasoned with the both of them and he tried talking some sense into them and thank the gods it worked. 
I really hope Q can totally open up to Tess in the last book and visa versa. I really hope they have an happy ending.
I really liked the dual point of view. It gave a good look on the situation from both sides. And you could really see into Q head. 

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?

Review 

The summary of this book really intrigued me. I have read Captive in the Dark so I have read a dark contemporary book before. This book isn't as dark as Captive in the Dark. But it was dark and it was an mindfuck . I really questioned Q actions. He said he didn't want to hurt Tess but he did anyway. He said he didn't want to be her master, or doesn't want Tess calling him master but he wants tess to obey his every word. So that was a bit confusing for me.  After I read this I was like what do you want Q danm it. 

This book really kept me on the tip of my chair the whole time. There were some really messed up stuff in this book that gave me chills all over my body.  Thank god nobody in my family saw that or they might question my sanity. Other than it was messed up, some of the stuff was really hot.  I'm not into the BDSM and stuff like that but  I can see why other people like it, to some content.  I seriously wouldn't want to get wiped or gagged or something like that. Or be put on display, hanging on the ceiling in a skimpy dress for dirty men to see. 

Tess really has it rough. Her parents always told her she was unwanted, that she was never good enough. That all they cared for was her older brother. She has a loving and caring boyfriend Brax.  He is everything for her.  Except he only likes plain old vanilla sex. Tess wants more kinky sex and Brax doesn't want to. Tess got more than she bargained for. 

She and brax were going on a surprise holiday to Mexico. She and Brax stopped for drinks in  a bar. Tess really has a bad feeling about this and she was right. The result. She was kidnapped, drugged, humiliated, raped, and sold as a slave.  

Q, her new found master, isn't what Tess expected of him. He is an handsome, and rich man with blond hair. He is dominating, that's for sure but he doesn't seen keen on hurting her, To much that is. He is rather turned on by her stubborn and fighting nature. Tess is far from the broken slaves he has had in the past. But besides his dominating nature, there is more than meets the eye. 

In the beginning I didn't like Q. At least I tried to, there was something about him. And by the end of the book I loved him. What a noble thing to do. I can't wait to read more.

I can't wait to meet Pepper in Edinburgh. I'm happy that there is more books with Q and Tess. I loved to see how there story develops. I wouldn't have mind it this was just one book but of course I won't say no to a series. 

Bad for you By Abbi Glines

 Innocence was never meant for the addictive… 

Addiction was something Krit Corbin accepted as part of his nature a long time ago. He decided to embrace it and flip his finger at the rules. Women had always been the number one thing on his list of addictions. He couldn’t get enough. Being the lead singer in a rock band had only made access to his favorite addiction that much easier.Being alone was the only thing Blythe Denton understood. The small town minister’s family that raised her hadn’t accepted her as their own. The minister’s wife had always made sure Blythe understood just how unworthy she was of love. When Blythe is sent away to college and given a chance to finally be free of living as an unwanted burden, she looks forward to having peace in her life. Being alone isn’t something that bothers her. She escapes reality in the stories she writes.However, the ridiculously sexy tattooed guy who keeps throwing parties in the apartment above hers is driving her crazy. For starters, he doesn’t treat her like she would expect a guy with a different woman always hanging on his arm to treat someone as uninteresting as her. She looks nothing like the gorgeous women she sees parading in and out of his apartment, but for some strange reason he keeps showing up at her door.During a party at his apartment, Krit’s new neighbor comes to the door with her long brown hair pulled up in a messy knot and a pair of glasses perched on her cute little nose. She wants him to turn down the music, but he convinces her to stay.


Review.

I'm not a big fan of the Seebreeze series. I like the rosemary beach serries much more. I only liked preston and Cage so for. The last few books were ok. I didn't love it and I didn't hate it either. So I was a little hesitant to reed it. But i'm glad I finally did. I Loved it.  I didn't feel much for krit in the previous book. I also didn't envision him, the way he was described in this book. I must say I like this version better that what I envisioned hahah. We totally got to see a whole other side to him.  A side where he is just a broken man that  can care a lot about someone. I really liked the way the relationship between Blythe and Kritt started. It was an nice development. It didn't start like a firecracker but it developed slowly. I liked how Kritt was trying to be a good friend for blythe. She really needed one. As for Blythe, I really feel for her. She had to deal with a lot off mental abuse. She was told for years and years that she was nothing, ugly, evil and she felt like nobody wanted her. It really hurt me to see her feel so little about herself and the way she thinks that everything is her fault. Maybe it hurt me because I saw pieces of myself in her.  I thought it was really great ability, that she can see the best in everybody and the way she lit up when people were nice to her. She deserves to be loved. She is a really selfless, insecure person.  She is a kind of person that you just want to take care off. Yes this story was a bit of the same old same old, handsome male aflpha and a shy bit broken female that the male just has to take care of. And of course the girl is the prettiest girl he has ever seen and everybody loves her and thinks she's beautiful but it didn't bother me. I liked this story. I would have like to get to know kritt's history a bit more. All I know is that he had a crappy childhood and that nobody was there for him but I would like to know more. What happened, what made him, him. 

5/5 stars

Don´t look back by Jennifer Armentrout

What if you had the chance to start again...but only if you promised never to look back? Samantha is popular, rich, and seemed to have it all...until the night she and her best 'frenemy' Cassie disappeared and only Sammy resurfaced, with no recollection of who she is or what happened. Sammy's a stranger in her own life - a life she no longer wants any part of. Losing her memory is a chance to start again. Then Sammy begins receiving mysterious notes warning her about that night, urging her to not look back. But she can't let it go. As she starts poking around in her past she begins to remember...and something sinister begins to surface.

Review5/5 stars. 
It's yet an amazing new book from Jennifer Armentrout. She hasn't failed me yet. I really enjoyed this book. It has been a long time since I have read a thriller. A good one a least.  It was exciting and I didn't guess for the live of me what happened and who was behind it all. It was really good. I feel really sorry for Sammy, I has to be very difficult to not remember anything and then find out that you were a total bitch to everyone. And you and your bestfriends where the biggest bitches in the whole school. To find out you have a boyfriend who you just fight with all the time and are only with because of your parents. Because it's right, because your both from very wealthy parents. That you ditched the only childhood friend you ever had and don't know why. That you pushed the boy you really loved away but still remained jealous of everyone that comes near him. That on top of that you hear that your best friend is dead, killed and you where there but you don't know what happened. That people suspect you did it. That you feel like your losing your mind because you see your memories flash before your eyes sometimes because something triggers it. That your mind is so traumatized that it causes you to hallucinate.   Yes that is a lot of shit to deal with. And i'm really proud of Sammy because the way she handled all of it was amazing. She is an very strong person. I still don't know why she turned in such a bitch but i'm glad that she isn't now.  I really admire her. 
Carson, where to begin on carson, he is an amazing caring person and incredible sexy.  He has an olive skin, he is muscular, tall, dark hair and blue eyes. Just drool worthy. He hasn't have it easy but he never let anything stop him. At least that's the impression I got from him.  He still cares, loves Sammy, even after she was the biggest bitch to him. Because, and I quote, she has had her moments, and those moment out shined everything else. 
Scot, I really liked him. He turned out a pretty awesome brother for Sammy. I really liked him. I like how he forgave her and really stayed with her.  He is an awesome guy. I'm glad I pre-ordered this book and waited till I had it to read it. It was amazing. I read it in one sitting. I'm so glad that I  did. It's a good book to add to my collection. 

Nearly Mended by Devon Ashley

Megan Whitaker desperately wants to forget what the Malone brothers have done to her over the past two years – the haunting images and sensations still plaguing her thoughts and dreams – but she can’t. Charles may be dead, but Zander isn’t. I’ll bring you back to me. She wants to believe she’s safe with Nick in their secluded new home, but it doesn’t keep her from looking over her shoulder, jumping over unexpected sounds, carrying a concealed weapon or even preparing for the worst. Because she fears the time is near.

Nick Ellis has seen a change in his long, lost love. Battered emotionally and physically, Megan spends her days at self-defense classes and researching things that’ll never allow her to let go of the past. And he feels guilty even wanting her to, because he knows that heathen will return, it’s only a matter of time. And when he does, Nick knows he will do everything possible to save her, even if it means taking another shot to the heart.

But for Megan, there is no escaping the world of sex trafficking, nor the band of men who continually aid one another to keep it thriving. And as her nightmarish world encroaches on reality, Megan soon realizes there are far worse evils to fear than the sadistic man who haunts her dreams.

REVIEW

That sums my feelings up just fine I think. It was an emotional rollercoster thats for sure. I thought Zander couldn't get any more fucked up but I was wrong. Boy I was so wrong. I thought I knew his limits but the guy just doesn't have any limits. Like omg, I just don't know what to say about that fucker. I just hate him and everything about him. I hate what he did to megan, what he did to her, what he exposed her to, what he keeps doing to her, I hate what he did to Nick, what he made him do, what he has done to him. I really just hate the guy so much. 

And omg I have so much respect for megan. At some point I really feared for her mental well being. I was like omg this is starting to look like stockholm syndrome. I mean she could have fooled me if she kept it up any longer. I don't know if I could do what she did. To be ably to distance  yourself from yourself and let him do that. And let him keep doing it. And pretending to like it even tho your body can't help but like it but your brain hates it. But at some point your not sure anymore. I would have, I don't know probably be like this 

 I really love megan. She is just so strong and so amazing. Being able to go threw the stuff she went threw and being able to still feel like a person and being able to get stronger by that experience. And best of all still love nick and  open your heart to someone is just remarkable. 

And nick, He is amazing. He loves megan so  so so much and he is willing to do anything for her.  The things he did do for her, because of her.  That's just wow. The things he was put threw and be able to still love megan and live after that it just amazing. 

Some parts in this book where really disturbing and cringe worthy. I mean that guy Zander is disturbing and has major psychological problems but Friggs it just sick, a sick sick sick son of a bitch. What kind of doctor does that. No that kind of a human being does that. I hope he and Zander end up in prison and I hope they get raped every day for the rest of there miserable lives 

That ending, omg that ending. When I finally hoped it was over for nick and megan something happened. Oke it did not happened directly to them but it might as well has been. I don't thing Megan has seen the last of friggs or zander. I really hope she doesn't have to suffer anymore.
