Third a Kiss (Goddess Isles #3) by Pepper Winters

It was just him and me. A girl and a monster. And an empty room full of possibilities.

With the third instalment of Goddess Isles, Pepper takes us deeper and deeper in the confusing world of Eleanor and Sully.

The book doesn’t leave you much chance to breathe. From the first pages you’re ricocheting from emotion to emotion. You feel so many different things while reading it felt impossible to keep up at times.

I think it’s clear from the blurb that this couple finally admit their feelings—it takes a lot but they do—and everything begins to slowly, painfully slowly, settle a little.

So of course that’s when everything goes to sh*t isn’t it? The difference with this story is … I felt it coming. I knew it wasn’t going to be simple. From the beginning I worked out some of the secrets and I sensed that something massive was about to happen and it wasn’t going to be what you’re first lead to believe it is.

There were so many moments that made me smile in this story and lots that made me squirm. This book had heat sizzling from the pages—Pepper is known for writing intense sex scenes after all. She’s also known for writing books that society tells you, you shouldn’t be enjoying but you damn well do. Delightful, if you ask me. Freedom to enjoy what we want and not feel shame for it—it’s one of the best things about Pepper’s stories for me.

I’m keen to know where the next part of this series goes, so I’m off to read!

•Needless to say, if you’re unsure if dark is for you, then please do your research and read the trigger warnings for this book.

It’s not light. It’s not fluffy. Please read responsibly.

Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

“I think you have to have faith in people before they earn it. Otherwise it's not faith, right?” It’s not often (probably never for most people) that you find a book that, for a good 75% of the book, you dislike 99% of the characters in it and yet, YOU KEEP READING. It seems utterly ridiculous to even say that about a book that I have given 5 stars to, I get it. But it’s how I felt reading this book and it’s a testament to the absolute artistry that is the writing of this story for me. It’s not my typical read and if any other book was like this, it would be left unfinished. I see no shame in not finishing a book you don’t love. There are too many wonderful books out there to discover, why read something you don’t wholeheartedly adore? And yet … The writing and story telling of these incredibly flawed and complex characters had me unable to put it down—I mean that, I read it in less than 48 hours—I just HAD to know what happened, I was fully invested even though I felt no real conn...

Fueled (book two) by K. Bromberg

Incredible . Colton and Rylee’s story continues in book two of the Driven Series and it goes from strength to strength. There were so many, so many parts in this story that had me actually growling at my kindle. Colton can truly be the most infuriating male in the book world sometimes. But I get it. And so will you. As is always the case with K.Bromberg , you’ll get a heap load of emotions and sexiness but it’s not all the story is. There is a complicated and deep story woven throughout and it’s beautiful to read. There are some utterly heartbreaking moments that left me breathless and with tears streaming down my face, but there were also many, many moments of absolute belly laughing and that’s truly what I need from a book. Everything . There are few books that make me throw my kindle, only to go right back and pick it up, because I just had to know what was going to happen. And then it did … I LOVE this series.

Cor Amare (Luna #2) by Pepper Winters

“Someday...but not today,” There’s no doubt that Pepper has a unique ability to create worlds and characters that you haven’t met before. She writes love with an intensity that burns from the page and sears soul-mates together for eternity and this story is no different. I really wanted to love this duet—I loved the idea of everything being surrounded by water, that the love story span a lifetime and I adored the way in which the story was told. But Cor Amare left me feeling a little like the first one did, that it didn’t quite deliver on what I hoped for. Cor Amare picks up exactly where we left off in Lunamare —Aslan is on the run and Neri is trying to pick up the pieces and keep him safe. The story is a whirlwind for many chapters and then Pepper lulls us into a place of presumed safety … which of course doesn’t last for long. Strangely I found Aslan most likeable when he was apart from Neri and trying to survive his ordeal. I found his strength and sheer determination to fight in...
