Great series。 First one I read by Pepper and have read all other books since。 Definitely a lady to follow

Geoffrey Davis ，

Very long story I had a hard time putting it down。It was a thrilling story about two main characters。 The life that brought them together。 There were many side stories and several other notable characters。 I don't normally do reviews but was a well written book。 I enjoyed it very。 Very long story I had a hard time putting it down。It was a thrilling story about two main characters。 The life that brought them together。 There were many side stories and several other notable characters。 I don't normally do reviews but was a well written book。 I enjoyed it very。 。。。more

Tears of Tess Tears of Tess is a book that I have been wanting to read for quite some time。 In fact， it has been on my kindle for almost three years and right now I’m questioning my sanity as to why I left it so long to read this story。I must admit that having already read a couple of Pepper Winters’ other dark romance series I was wondering if this one would be more of the same， but I was so wrong。 I absolutely loved Tess and Q and reading about the relationship that develops between them。 It i Tears of Tess Tears of Tess is a book that I have been wanting to read for quite some time。 In fact， it has been on my kindle for almost three years and right now I’m questioning my sanity as to why I left it so long to read this story。I must admit that having already read a couple of Pepper Winters’ other dark romance series I was wondering if this one would be more of the same， but I was so wrong。 I absolutely loved Tess and Q and reading about the relationship that develops between them。 It is one that requires individuals who have a similar need， and this couple have met their perfect match。Tess completely surprised me as I learned more about her throughout the story。 Her strength and determination are what I admire about her。 Having read other book series where Tess and Q make cameo appearances， I already knew how their story would unfold， but I loved reading this book to learn the finer details about how they met and who they are。 This book focused more on Tess and I believe Q’s book is next so I am hoping the author will go back and tell us about his childhood， so that I can understand the reasons behind his actions more。I literally could not put this book down especially during the first half-ish。 However， I did feel at times that the story was a little slow and could have been shortened， but other than that I absolutely loved it。 I do feel that Tears of Tess deserves 4。5 stars。 Quintessentially QI was a little worried for a time。 I thought I wasn’t going to get into this book as I found the first part to be a little too slow for my liking。 I am so pleased I stuck with it because once the storyline took a different direction with Tess， I didn’t want to put my kindle down！In Quintessentially Q， I assumed that Q would be sharing more about himself and expected it to be written only using his POV。 With this storyline it had to be written in dual， as we needed the thoughts and feelings of both Tess and Q。 Although they go through the same events， their experiences couldn’t be more different。Pepper Winters once again didn’t hold back any punches when writing some of the scenes in this story。 Several were hard for me to read to be honest， BUT it wouldn’t have worked any other way as we needed to witness what happens in order to have a greater understanding of the aftermath。Quintessentially Q ended up being a real page turner and I cannot wait to see what happens next in Twisted Together。 Twisted Together Twisted Together is the perfect book to end this trilogy。 I am aware that there is a follow up story available， but Tess and Q's journey is told over the first three books…。 and what a story it is！I absolutely adore Tess and Q together。 They couldn’t be more suited for each other。 It was lovely to witness their relationship develop throughout this instalment of the trilogy and to see how much they are willing to go through for their soulmate。One of the things I loved about Twisted Together was the unexpected （for me） revelation following those scenes when Q was trying to help Tess through the aftermath of her ordeal。 I had been so focused on Tess and her turmoil and emotions， that when Q revealed what he was able to take from this， I was stunned that I hadn’t thought to consider how much he was learning about his own darkness。 As I said， I loved this！ Oh， and I have one word for that epilogue…。。 incredible！！I am going to struggle to rate this book because I have conflicting feelings about it。 I absolutely loved every moment when there were things happening to/with Tess and Q。 I adored the times when scenes had me holding my breath and when I couldn’t read quickly enough to discover how that part of the storyline was going to conclude。 BUT then there were times when I really wanted to skim the pages because although we were learning more about Tess and Q as a couple， the pace was too slow and I really wanted to speed up to those heart in the mouth moments that were unputdownable！ There was so much excitement to be had and yet in between those moments I felt it took a little too long to get to the next thrilling scene。 Twisted Together is a big book， and personally I would have liked the story to have been condensed。I highly recommend this series to all readers who enjoy their romance on the darker side。 There are scenes that I found difficult to read but were written brilliantly for this trilogy and are necessary to give the reader a greater understanding。 I award Twisted Together 4 stars。 I am really looking forward to reading Je Suis a Toi and seeing how the couple have moved forward。 I wish them both the happiness and success they truly deserve。 。。。more

Fantastic - possibly the best dark romance trilogy I have ever read。 This is a very dark story with lots of potential triggers - sex trafficking， physical and sexual abuse， torture and some heavy duty BDSM。 The story is that good I did not want it to end - and I do love a book that doesn't finish within a few pages of the last major dramatic scene。 This story is so full of drama， ups and downs， triumph and tragedy。 I've just discovered there is a 4th book in the Monsters in the Dark series - bou Fantastic - possibly the best dark romance trilogy I have ever read。 This is a very dark story with lots of potential triggers - sex trafficking， physical and sexual abuse， torture and some heavy duty BDSM。 The story is that good I did not want it to end - and I do love a book that doesn't finish within a few pages of the last major dramatic scene。 This story is so full of drama， ups and downs， triumph and tragedy。 I've just discovered there is a 4th book in the Monsters in the Dark series - bought it immediately and can't wait to read it！ Highly recommended if you like your romance very dark but beautifully written。 。。。more

I adore this series！ Even though I cringed a lot and got very emotional during some parts， it made me think of how the women had a lot to deal with to survive and also how strong they were。 Life can be cruel and sometimes horrific。 But life can also be wonderful with the right person even with their quirks。 Tears of Stress， Quintessentially Q and Twisted Together tells the challenges of two people and decisions to be made to survive。 Pepper Winters is a gifted author with a miracle imagination i I adore this series！ Even though I cringed a lot and got very emotional during some parts， it made me think of how the women had a lot to deal with to survive and also how strong they were。 Life can be cruel and sometimes horrific。 But life can also be wonderful with the right person even with their quirks。 Tears of Stress， Quintessentially Q and Twisted Together tells the challenges of two people and decisions to be made to survive。 Pepper Winters is a gifted author with a miracle imagination in the psyche of the human mind and what can happen when in survival mode。 Some may be difficult to read but they are all very inspirational。 Thank you Ms Winters。 。。。more

Christina Jones ，

Not for the faint of heart Um。。。 this book series was amazing。 Super dark。 Super twisted。 I loved it。 🤣But really， there are no words to describe this other than powerful。 If you have triggers， this one might hit all of them so be aware of that。 But I am shook。

If I could give more then 5 stars I would。 I could not out this down。 Pepper Winters you are amazing with the stories you create that suck the readers in hook， line and sinker。 Thank you。 Xx

Tears of TessI devoured this book in one day。 I have had it on my list and I'm so glad I chose it。 Tess is amazing and strong。 Q is perfectly tormented。 I love that he is secretly doing amazing things to right the wrongs。Quintessentially QThis was such an emotional story with highs and lows， anger， happiness， sadness， disgust。。。 I'm really glad there's another book。 There's a "happy for now" but I feel like there's more。 Can't wait！Twisted TogetherOh my goodness。 While the second book had a lot Tears of TessI devoured this book in one day。 I have had it on my list and I'm so glad I chose it。 Tess is amazing and strong。 Q is perfectly tormented。 I love that he is secretly doing amazing things to right the wrongs。Quintessentially QThis was such an emotional story with highs and lows， anger， happiness， sadness， disgust。。。 I'm really glad there's another book。 There's a "happy for now" but I feel like there's more。 Can't wait！Twisted TogetherOh my goodness。 While the second book had a lot of emotions， they were mostly of dread。 This one has sadness， brokenness， healing， hope， and the ending was magical。 I remember reading a post on social media where a lady who's husband is in politics assured my poor， small-town， classless "bimbo" friend that sex trafficking was not a real thing。 I can't imagine what it's like to have a platform and have a voice to help others and then deny the existence of monsters。 But then， after the past four years， I'm not surprised。 Off of my soap box。 I loved this trilogy。 I read the Dollars series and Q makes an appearance and now I see the significance。 I love the big bad anti-hero who thinks he's a bad person and doesn't realize the good they do， and Q fits that perfectly。 I never get frustrated with Tess and wish she was stronger。 She has so much fight in her and I wish she was a real person to see the changes she makes in the world。 。。。more

Carrie haines ，

This series was crazy dark but so amazing。 Twisted Together was my favorite of the three but over all a five star series。 It will have you in tears， sick at your tummy， and at some point you will have to put it down and take a deep breath to try and remind yourself that its just a book。 This series will also make you laugh and smile as well。 You will fall in love with Q and his darkness。

Taryn Lynch ，

AMAZING Pepper never disappoints！ Oh if you love to fantasize about dark romance， Pepper will have you painting！ You cannot help but to fall in love with the “not-so” knight in shining armor！

Redemption Of SoulsIt's much more depth than being a simple BDSM dark erotica trilogy， it's so much more。 Tess Snow & Quincy "Q" Mercer were consumed with each others' love。 It's a book about guilt and redemption， anger and happiness， heaven and hell， love and hate。 It's about two souls， two beings fighting to stay alive mentally， emotionally， and physically。 Togetherness and loneliness。 Pain and need and love and confusion。Both were Master （Maitre） and Slave （Esclave） to each other。While there Redemption Of SoulsIt's much more depth than being a simple BDSM dark erotica trilogy， it's so much more。 Tess Snow & Quincy "Q" Mercer were consumed with each others' love。 It's a book about guilt and redemption， anger and happiness， heaven and hell， love and hate。 It's about two souls， two beings fighting to stay alive mentally， emotionally， and physically。 Togetherness and loneliness。 Pain and need and love and confusion。Both were Master （Maitre） and Slave （Esclave） to each other。While there were moments in which I felt things were "wash， rinse， repeat"， overall it was a beautiful story。 Yes， there's the moments of the world that is the slave industry， but it includes that so it can be overcome。 It explains what people go through during their slavery， how they become broken， and after to become human again in the pain that they go through。 。。。more

So amazingly corruptible No， I have never been kidnapped and sold on the black market， but I do know a thing or two about sexual abuse。 What I love most about this tale is its ability to reclaim life affirming passion through the use of diverting pain and consuming shameful fear into beauty shared between two loving consensual adults。 It reminds me of how truly thankful I am for my own husband， soulmate， and dearest friend。 Thank you for giving voice to my own darkness and sense of independence So amazingly corruptible No， I have never been kidnapped and sold on the black market， but I do know a thing or two about sexual abuse。 What I love most about this tale is its ability to reclaim life affirming passion through the use of diverting pain and consuming shameful fear into beauty shared between two loving consensual adults。 It reminds me of how truly thankful I am for my own husband， soulmate， and dearest friend。 Thank you for giving voice to my own darkness and sense of independence through dependent acts of love。 。。。more

OmgWhat a great box set。 Keeps you guessing from the beginning to the end so many twists and turns。 You have to understand BDSM to read this set。

Andrea Fernandez ，

Absolutely loved！ pulled me in from the beginning and held my interest all the way to the end。 It was a dark， gritty， at times thought how can someone go through so much。 Highly entertaining but not in a funny， ha-ha way。 It was more of an intriguing， enthralling， overwhelming way。

Difficult Review Being a fan of dark romances I was truly excited to read this series since it was highly recommended yet I could not emotionally connect with the characters。 The very dark themes did not disturb me nor the highly graphic sex scenes it just felt like the characters had not been fully developed。 The author gave a very impersonal background of the characters that was more of a placeholder of their imperfections that did not allow the reader to emotionally connect to the characters。 Difficult Review Being a fan of dark romances I was truly excited to read this series since it was highly recommended yet I could not emotionally connect with the characters。 The very dark themes did not disturb me nor the highly graphic sex scenes it just felt like the characters had not been fully developed。 The author gave a very impersonal background of the characters that was more of a placeholder of their imperfections that did not allow the reader to emotionally connect to the characters。 Thus the storyline became unimaginable and I started to skip characters to get to meaningful dialogue between the characters that failed to consistently happen。 The delving into their dark world became contrived and didn’t produce the desired results of connection but unfortunately for me boredom。 This was a first read for me with this author and I will attempt to read another novel but it will need to be a stand-alone。 I think she has potential and notice this book was written early in her career so I’m hoping she has improved character development。 If you love authors like Pam Godwin （Deliverer series - excellent series）， L。 J。 Shen （Vicious series - despite the age group very dark themes and extremely exceptional）， or K。 Webster that has some dark themed books like Dirty Ugly Toy （not in same group as these authors but good similar theme） you’ll understand my criticisms was not due to anything other then not getting an emotional lead to the H/h from Ms。 Winters before she took us to their ugly， twisted， and dark world。 。。。more

This series is one of my favorites！ OMG！ What a story！！ It was so dark and mentally twisted and disturbing yet full of love and oh so sexy！！ I couldn’t help but cry at the end。 My heart was so full！ Pepper Winters is a phenomenal writer！ She knows how to twist your mind right up。 She’s definitely one of my favorite authors！

Lisa Sylva （The Book Bistro） ，

Why did I wait so long to read this？？This trilogy is brilliant。 It is extremely dark and with that comes a lot of drama & suspense。 There were scenes that sizzled off their pages with such a “wow factor”。 In all， this set was outstanding and I highly recommend it。 I devoured this book as if it was my last breath - nothing existed for many hours the past 5 days！ If dark and severely hot is what you want， this is your perfect read！ Pepper Winters is genius！ *sigh I’m going to miss Q so much。
