Title: Twisted Together (Monsters in the Dark, #3)

Author: Pepper Winters

Release Date: June 3, 2014

 

Synopsis

“After battling through hell, I brought my esclave back from the brink of ruin. I sacrificed everything—my heart, my mind, my very desires to bring her back to life. And for a while, I thought it broke me, that I’d never be the same. 

But slowly the beast is growing bolder, and it’s finally time to show Tess how beautiful the dark can be.” 

Q gave everything to bring Tess back. In return, he expects nothing less. Tess may have leashed and tamed him, but he’s still a monster inside. 

After surviving the darkness, a new dawn has begun. Twisted Together wades through black to grey, chasing the light of true love to banish the shadows forever. 

Pain is a requirement, connection a necessity. But ultimately Q and Tess must face their demons, before they can embrace their future.

BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

Man, can Pepper Winters write.

When Pepper writes a dark romance she does not hold back. She is a very honest writer with what she wants to express to the reader. She goes places few can emulate because she is so honest and open with her writing.

She will go ...there!

Pepper delivers.

Pepper lets Q’s beast roam wild.

Holy hell does he roam wild!

Q is dark.

Q has extremely dark desires.

Q is darker than dark.

Q is $^*&%*&#$*#  dark, that is how dark he is.

Q is like no other male character I have read to date.

Q is fierce with his love for Tess.

Q is a contradiction to his cause.

Q is dangerous.

Q can freak me out.

Wow! WoW!

...And WOW!!

It is very hard to put into words Pepper’s writing. She blew me out of the blogosphere with Quincy and his Tess.

A complete contradiction - a man with two desires.

She had me peeping through my fingers.

Q has found the one that completes him.

I captured her mouth like she was the last woman on earth. The only woman for me.

I may be a controlling bastard, but the moment Tess stalked into my life I lost my balls to her.


His perfect monster in his very dark life.

And I lived in a constant battleground, fighting the delicious satisfaction at her pain against my morality and horror at hurting her.

Q can at times be a challenge to understand and watch. He has dark needs, he has a need to inflict pain. He has a need for blood.

He must release his beast.

But, he has found someone willing to consent to his desires, willing to take part, willing to receive pain.

“You’re wrong to think your box of horrors scares me. It doesn’t."

Two monsters in the dark.

Tess stood before me. Her toned legs splayed, hands on her hips. So proud and regal in her own body. I couldn’t tear my eyes away. The beast inside prowled and hurled itself against the cage, trying so hard to get at her.


Q was all my nightmares, fantasies, and needs rolled into one bestial package. He was my drug of choice and I’d been craving him for four long days.

These two characters are very passionate in their own way.

...“You’re my wings. You made me fly.”


“I’ll never be free of your force.”


No other man had a voice like Q. Dark, dangerous, laced with a melodic French accent. Being reprimanded by him was pure audio perfection.

This is not a story that is all about Q's dark desires. This is also a story about revenge. A story about two broken people coming together.

Fighting to keep their sanity.

Fighting back.

When Q is in warrior form, he is unstoppable . 

He is a law unto his own.

All I thought about was blood.

I dropped my eyes and let myself be free. I smashed through my walls, unlocked the cage, and snarled like the rabid animal I was. The false me ceased to exist. The real me was ready.

I really like Frederick and Franco. The two men Q trusts. Franco is more like Q. Both are explicitly loyal to Q.

I have so many quotes I noted down when reading this book. Pepper’s books are full of quotes. I have a thing about quotes. To me it is a great part of writing an awesome story.

I got to say whatever floats your boat, but Q is painfully extreme with his desires. Being inside Q’s head for part of this book is brilliant because we can see his mind ticking over and his voice is quite amazing to listen to.

I swallowed back the thick taste of lust and murmured, “Too fucking late, esclave. I’m ruined beyond redemption.” In the last moment of gentleness, I pressed my forehead against hers and breathed deep. “I’m lost.” Then the gentleness left, abandoning me to the hard-edged need to hurt.


Tess knows what she needs to do to find another side to Q, but will she be given a chance to do it her way?

Some basic part of me, the unthinking but all-sensing part, knew I had to break Q completely before he could embrace the softer side of what we could have.


Q was born into darkness, created by circumstances he wouldn’t share with me, but if anyone of us was damaged, it was him. I wanted him to no longer fear himself. He no longer had to be alone.


Pepper writes Q perfectly. When he talks we sit up and take notice. He is hard to ignore. You won’t find your mind wandering when Q is talking. His inner monologue is showing us how much of him is the beast.

I liked her on top, but I didn’t like her holding me as if she was in control. It wasn’t how I worked. 

Pepper is graphic with her writing and that is what makes her writing very honest. She is not bringing us a half baked tale. She lays all her cards on the table when it comes to the violence of trafficking and what Tess is put through.

This type of story could not work without an author being brutally honest and brutally graphic in their writing.

I am not into reading a lot of dark romances but it is a pleasure to read Pepper.

Q may not be a character who is for everyone of mature age, but I highly recommend this series as it is quite a spectacular read.

Unapologetically dark!

I can't leave out the birds. Pepper has again brought the significance of the birds beautifully into the story.

On a lighter note, there is a wonderful scene with Q and his birds, but dang, I could not help thinking there would be a shiz load of bird poop. 

Ha!

Tears of Tess was the entree, Quintessentially Q the main course. I am not sure how Pepper is going to top these two books, but I am sure she will.

I have to give credit where credit is due and Pepper knows how to write.

Q will leap off the page and land on you. 

He demands attention.

One talented, exciting Australian author that I will keep coming back for more.

No questions.

Done deal.

“I’m the man who knows right from wrong.”

TEASERS - QUINTESSENTIALLY Q

Goddammit, she said I scarred her soul… would she let me scar her skin?

Tess stood in front of me. Her toned legs splayed, hands on her hips. So proud and regal in her own body. I couldn’t tear my eyes away. My mouth went dry as the beast inside prowled and hurled itself against the cage, trying so hard to get at her. To rip her. Ravage her.

“I understand you want me to show you what my fantasies are, but you have to give me time, esclave.” My heart raced at the word. For four days, I refused to call her anything but Tess. She wasn’t my slave. She wasn’t my possession. Never had been and never would be. I hated how even though I knew she was there on her own accord, I still wanted ultimate ownership. I wanted her chained and completely dependent on me. I wanted to feed her and bathe her. I wanted to be the very reason she stayed alive.

Fuck, I should get a pet.

Get to know you interview 

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

I’ve know it for a while. Ever since I’d get grounded by my dad for reading too much. My favourite part of school was writing essays and short stories.


How long does it take you to write a book?

Tears of Tess took me 7 weeks from first word to publication and Quintessentially Q has taken me 4 weeks for a 111,000 book. It’s with my editor now. I’m lucky that I can write quick, but then I suffer with edits and making sense of my scribbles. 


What is your work schedule like when you're writing?

I took a month off to write QQ all the time. So I do about 2 hours of catching up on messages and emails in the morning and then write, with small breaks on FB through the day J I normally start around 11 am and don’t stop till about 10pm what with social marketing and other things that go along with writing. It really is a full time occupation.


What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?

I have to have at last one class of Coke Zero while I’m writing and I have to have complete quiet.


How do you plan to publish? (self or publisher)

I self published Tears of Tess and plan to do so for all my work. I love the freedom and flexibility.


Where do you get your information or ideas for your books?

They just pop into my head and the characters take me on a whirlwind journey that I just jot down as they tell me. 


When did you write your first book and how old were you?

I was about 7 when I wrote my first book. It was terrible. I didn’t start finding my groove until 4-5 years ago.


What do you like to do when you're not writing?

Read, relax, hang with my hubby, travel .


What does your family think of your writing?

Up until Tess started to sell no one in my family really understood why I spent SO many hours glued to my laptop. They couldn’t see why I dedicated myself to something so compulsively. Now they’re very supportive. However, my hubby has always been there for me. Without him I probably wouldn’t have had the confidence to dedicate so much time to getting my craft under control.


What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?

That people like my work. That was the best thing ever!


How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?

I’ve written six total but plan to write a LOT more.


Do you have any suggestions to help me become a better writer? If so, what are they?

Keep at it. Just keep trying, keep improving. Read blog forums on general pitfalls of writing and get some beta readers.  I owe my life to my critique partners.


Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?

Yes, I hear from them on a daily basis which is awesome. They’re all amazing and I love hearing how my book has affected them. I try to keep up with every FB message, tweet, email, and share. I value each of my readers more than they know.


Do you like to create books for adults?

Oh yes. I love writing sex. I would never survive writing for young adults LOL


What do you think makes a good story?

Something that makes you feel every range of emotion possible.

As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?

Be a writer. Living the dream.

BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

This is my new future. Fate threw me to the bastards of Hades.

I love reading a book that challenges me in parts. Tears Of Tess is one of those reads.

Q is a complicated character. He is at war with himself, tormented by his needs.

"That's what you are. Painful." He thumped his chest. "Painful to me."

He is a confusing character at times as we are trying to understand is he playing the role of good guy or bad guy or a little of both.

"You are mine. Through circumstances I will not discuss with you, you have come into my possession, and therefore must obey me in all things."

There are some scenes that had me peeking out from behind my pillow. Going all vampire is a bit scary for me. That was a bit of a challenge to read. But hey, two consenting people were involved. 

Whatever floats your boat.

When I got to be in Q’s head for a brief time in the book, I think it helped cement his character further in my mind. I want more from Q’s pov because he is a complicated character, he is tormented by what gets him off and I want to understand him more. He is an exciting character to read, but he is also a little frightening.

My heart split into fragments. Q's voice filled my head. "Smell so good. So fucking good. Like rain... no, no like frost. Sharp and fresh and icy and cold and ... and painful." He closed his eyes, voice trailing into a whisper. "You love c-causing pain."

At the moment Q isn’t a character I totally understand. He is an out-side-the-box type character that I enjoy reading from time to time. I like seeing what an author can do with a man that has a past, and his present is a war zone on his mind and body.

When is enough going to be enough to satisfy that dark side? Q says it himself.

He whispered, "I'm not afraid of hurting you. I'm afraid of how far I'm willing to go."


Tess is a fighter, a survivor and she won't go down without letting those around her know it.

"I'm the only one who owns my fate. Not you. Not your guards. Not your sick operation. No one."

The tracker in Tess’s neck. I did have questions about it. When you have a vendetta on your mind , it is a good idea to cut that sucker out. ASAP.

In the movies, it is the first thing to get removed when freedom presents itself. It is not something you carry about as a souvenir. It isn’t called a tracker for no reason.

I also questioned Tess’s reappearance. I understand her parents for whatever reason didn’t care she was even missing. Her reappearance isn’t met with an interrogation by FBI or CIA or any other governing letters of the alphabet. This is a girl who has come out the other end alive. Her information would be valuable. Brax went to somebody to get her found. She was a missing person. Her physical appearance wasn’t altered to hide her.

These are my only plot questions. I understand where Tess will be taking things herself, but...

Tess is a character that can be taken a couple ways. Readers can be somewhat confused by her behavior or we can understand her behavior. I chose to understand her. I put myself in her place and I felt like it was realistic. She has that Stockholm Syndrome thing going on, but also ... Tess lets us know her desires before she is stolen, so she is drawn.

I gotta admit, I am not sure about ol’ Brax. I think any dude confronted with a woman dressed provocatively and brandishing a toy, that is quite a normal acceptable toy, would behave a bit differently. I would probably have believed his character more if he was studying the bible. He is only twenty three years old, still in his smexual manly prime.

I kissed harder, pressing against him with an urgency growing out of control. I was too hot. I needed him too much, for far too long. I should've spoken sooner - told him how badly I needed to be possessed. For months, I felt cast adrift, like he was no longer my anchor. I needed him to remind me I belonged to him, just like he belonged to me. 


I loved the chapter titles which are bird species. I was wondering about them as I read them. I love how the birds are used in the story. It was different and clever. Thought provoking as you are reading the titles.

There are graphic traumatic scenes that make this story more realistic with trafficking of humans. It is happening every day and we forget that young loved ones are stolen from families and the cruelty of it. You come into the world free and then through no fault of your own a price is on your body and your rights have been stripped from you. You have lost all of yourself to these creatures who feel it is their right to degrade and terrorize you , until you are no more. 

I understand Pepper had to bring the terror and graphic scenes to sell her story. I think she did it very well.

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

I totally give this book five stars because it is a story with characters that really do leap off the page. Q is a very confronting character. An Alpha character who has so much deep inner emotional shiz going on. I really do want that explored. The taste I got from this book, I want to know more. He is a character you don’t forget easily. I love how Pepper has written him. 

When the glass is only half full, it is understandable how Tess behaves. She only has her own information and what she does with it inside her head. She was stolen, abused, raped, she is only twenty years old, hardly a worldly personality. She has her own inner sexual urges that hadn't been acted upon. She is a lost girl in a world that has a very ugly face. A face where those in charge think it is their right to claim a human and receive money. No conscience for the harm or death of the individual.

Tess meets a man that stirs things inside her but who is he to her? What role is he playing. Her body has been abused . She has a strong will to fight but what is she fighting against? There is an enormous amount of emotional upheaval that is swamping her. She has come from a family that has shown her no real interest or support. How should she react to everything that gets thrown at her? Who should she trust? 

The man never broke eye contact, ensnaring me in his gaze. Slowly, he pushed off the banister and moved toward the stairs.
I gulped.
He was smooth water - effortless in refinement but just like still water, dangerous if you couldn't swim. Deadly rips and currents lurked deep below the surface. I eyed him, trying to figure out what sick pleasures he indulged in that normal, willing women were hard to come by.

Suzette holds back information she could have given Tess to soothe her ordeal of winding up in Q's mansion after being terrorized and assaulted by the evil that took her. She calls her friend , but Tess is in the dark about her new Maitre. 

Tess and Q together are quite explosive with how far they will go with each other. I think it is hard to find a partner that is willing to tread that line with you and to submit so completely. 

Without fear. 

With so much trust. 

"Monsters find each other in the dark."

I don’t understand the depths of Q’s carnal pleasure, but that is why I find him intriguing to read. He isn’t the norm. He is a contradiction to his cause. 

"You are mine. I can do what I want with you. I can dress you. Fuck you. Send you away. Loan you to others. You belong to me. And you've finally realized it isn't romantic, it isn't sexy, or fun. It's something no one should want or desire. You're a captive."


"You're mine, esclave. And it isn't a fucking happy ever after."

Pepper writes a convincing tale of two people's world's colliding, brought together via a terrifying ordeal and the need to find who they really are and who they want to be.

"Recognise me. See me. I am your master."

... I glared . "See me. I am not yours to torment."

Is this a chance meeting of two kindred souls from across the globe? 

Tonight he changed my life. Q may make my soul weep and tear itself into pieces but he made it operatic with joy, too. My soul didn't just sing, it rejoiced.
I finally found a place where my twistedness belonged.

A meeting that should never have happened.  

But it did.

"Everyone knows, after captivity, a pet doesn't survive in the wild."

Bring. On . Quintessentially Q.
