ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 28, 2017

“Tragedy, turmoil, and the ultimate sacrifice. It’s not a question of what I’m willing to sacrifice but who to deserve her…

Can love truly conquer all? Even when so many truths say no?

The last book in the USA Today Bestselling Dollar Series.

••••••••••••

REVIEW:- MILLIONS is the final instalment in Pepper Winters’ contemporary, adult DOLLAR dark romance series focusing on billionaire Elder Prest, and TAmsyn ‘Pimlico’ Blythe. MILLIONS should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately upon the events of book four THOUSANDS. For fans of Pepper’s series there is a cross over with the characters from the author’s Monsters in the Dark.

NOTE: If you have not read book four-THOUSANDS-there may be some spoilers in my review. There are some scenes of graphic violence, bloodshed and death.

SOME BACKGROUND: Two years earlier Tasmin Blythe was sold to a sadistic Norwegian businessman and in the ensuing time suffered abuse, rape and torture at the hands of Alrik Asbjorn (aka Master A) and several of his friends and associates. Refusing to give Alrik the satisfaction of her pain and turmoil, and in an effort to protect her mind our heroine shut down and opted for selective mutism. The Dollars Series is her story of recovery, healing and falling in love.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Pim and Elder) with an introductory prologue by Selix (Elder’s right hand man) MILLIONS is the long awaited conclusion to Pepper Winters’ DOLLAR dark, romance series. At the end of book four-THOUSANDS-our heroine Pimlico has gone missing following not one but two raids and attacks against Elder Prest aboard his luxury yacht the Phantom. While an enemy from his past has resurfaced demanding revenge and retribution, a new foe mistakenly believes Elder is responsible for the suffering of our story line heroine. What ensues are Elder’s plans to extricate the woman he loves, and the take down of an old enemy that is determined to destroy everything and everyone Elder loves.

MILLIONS brings together the characters and couples from the authors Monster in the Dark Series- ‘Q’ Mercer and his wife Tess, Franco and Suzette- as Elder must do battle to protect the woman that he loves but in doing so brings the enemy to the front door threatening Q and the woman he loves.

Pepper Winters writes emotional story lines with strong woman who have battled demons and the devil, only to resurface stronger and free. The men they love are hard core alpha males who have struggled between right and wrong, and in the end found forgiveness and a happily ever after with the women they love.

MILLIONS is an energetic tale of recovery, retribution, forgiveness and love. Pepper Winters DOLLAR is a complex, dark and detailed series of one woman’s rehabilitation and redemption; and one man’s absolution for sins of the past. The premise is raw, heartbreaking and intense; the romance is passionate and emotional. MILLIONS is an energetic and powerful conclusion to a series that will resonate for a long time.

And keep in mind there is definitely a ‘happily ever after’ including several epilogues from both of our story line characters.

“Love had been stolen from me for reasons entirely my fault. But then a miracle happened, and Pim gave me something I thought was lost forever. She gave me a love I’d earned. Love that ruined me. Love that made me hopelessly hers…”

Once upon a time, I didn’t think I’d ever be normal.
Now, I’m talking and trusting, and it’s all thanks to Elder.
He gave me my life back, and I gave him my heart, but love stories like ours are never simple.
I did something to protect him.
He did something to survive me.
We screwed up.
And now, it’s no longer just about us.
It’s about safety, sanctuary, and sin.

REVIEW: THOUSANDS is the fourth installment in Pepper Winters’ contemporary, adult DOLLAR dark, erotic, romance series focusing on billionaire Elder Prest, and Tasmin Blythe aka Pimlico. THOUSANDS should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately upon the events of book three HUNDREDS. For fans of Pepper’s series there is a slight cross over with the characters from the author’s Monsters in the Dark and her Indebted Series.

SOME BACKGROUND: Two years earlier Tasmin Blythe was sold to a sadistic Norwegian businessman and in the ensuing time suffered abuse, rape and torture at the hands of Alrik Asbjorn (aka Master A) and several of his friends and associates. Refusing to give Alrik the satisfaction of her pain and turmoil, and in an effort to protect her mind our heroine shut down and opted for selective mutism. This is her story of recovery, healing and falling in love.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Elder and Pimlico) THOUSANDS is the continuing story of Pimlico aka Tamsin Blythe’s recovery, a young woman sold into sexual slavery two years earlier, and her rescuer Elder Prest, a man whose past is dark, dangerous, and looking for revenge. THOUSANDS looks at the growing love between Pim and Elder, and the fall out when not one but two groups are determined to destroy any happiness for our leading couple. While Elder struggles with his growing love and need for Tamsin Blythe, Tamsin will find the power and voice needed to reveal the reasons and pain for remaining silent for so long.

THOUSANDS is a story told through personal introspection, thoughts and self-examination. Elder’s treatment of Pim (Tamsin) is questionable; his emotional stability grows more reckless as threats to their safety loom on the horizon. Love is fragile; broken; without promise, so too is the possibility of a happily ever after when repercussions and retribution from past sins dismantle and crush all hopes for our story line couple.

Pepper Winters writes emotional, dark and disturbing tales that will consume your soul, break your heart, and leave you restless and uneasy, hopeful and desirous. The premise is dark, edgy and dramatic; the characters are broken, flawed and controversial; the romance is intense and heartbreaking. THOUSANDS is a startling and tense installment to the author’s DOLLAR series.

REVIEW: DOLLAR$ is the second installment in Pepper Winters’ contemporary, adult DOLLAR dark, romance series focusing on Elder Prest, and Tasmin Blythe aka Pimlico. DOLLARS should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one PENNIES.

WARNING: DOLLARS is a dark romance with scenes of graphic and implied violence, rape, sexual abuse and torture. DOLLARS and the Dollar series may not suitable for everyone; there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person points of view (Pim and Elder) DOLLAR$ is a story of healing and recovery. Elder Prest is a man determined to ‘own’ our story line heroine-body and soul- but first he must allow Pim the time to recover and heal. Tasmin Blythe aka Pimlico was sold into slavery two years earlier and has suffered unimaginable physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Elder Prest, a complicated and domineering man, is both her savior and her keeper, and the man who pushes Pimlico to fight the demons that control her mind. Elder’s need for revenge, and darkened past of secrets and betrayal control the lifestyle that has made him the man he is today, and it is that darkness that he focuses on the woman that calls to his heart. At times, his treatment and threats directed at our story line heroine were abusive and reviling- a bird in a gilded cage is still trapped behind wires and bars-our heroine traded one type of captor for another. Greed, revenge and an unknown future dictate the paths of our story line couple.

The story is told through the thoughts and memories of a battered and broken woman, and the conflicted ramblings of a man desperate to fix what has been destroyed by deviance and evil. Elder Prest is no innocent; his list of sins is long and corrupt but something about Pimlico calls to his missing heart.

But….I do have an issue with this particular story line and it has nothing to do with the story line content but more so with the lack of any definitive story line progress. DOLLARS is a story of recovery –mind, body and soul-but for all intents and purposes the focus remains on breaking down Elder’s cold-hearted facade, and the recovery of a woman who had lost the will to live-while very little else happened along the way. There were a couple of hints as to Elder’s past, as well as Elder’s association with the people who had stolen Tasmin’s life but nothing has yet to come to fruition. The slow build up and absence of any real development is both frustrating and disheartening.

DOLLAR$, and the Dollar series is gritty, raw and emotional. The complexities of a broken mind are slow to heal; steps must be taken to ensure a recovery that is not destroyed by pushing the boundaries too soon or too fast. The premise is unique and creative; the characters are tragic and passionate; the romance fated and angry.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 20, 2016

“At 18 I had pennies, but money didn’t make me bold. At 19 I had dollars, but it didn’t dull the pain of being sold. At 20 I had hundreds, but then I met him and was found. At 21 I had thousands, but all I wanted was to be bound.”

“At 23 I had dollars, but life changed and made me rich. At 25 I had hundreds, but it wasn’t enough to stop my killing itch. At 27 I had thousands, but my reputation didn’t set me free. At 29 I had millions, but I met her and could finally see.”

Tasmin was killed on her 18th birthday. She had everything planned out. A psychology degree, a mother who pushed her to greatness, and a future anyone would die for. But then her murderer saved her life, only to sell her into a totally different existence.

Elder went from penniless to stinking rich with one twist of fate. His lifetime of crime and shadows of thievery are behind him but no matter the power he now wields, it’s not enough. He has an agenda to fulfill and he won’t stop until it’s complete.

But then they meet.

A beaten slave and a richly dressed thief. Money is what guided their separate fates. Money is what brought them together. And money is ultimately what destroys them.

She was poor.
He was rich.
Together…they were bankrupt.

REVIEW: PENNIES is the first installment in Pepper Winters’s contemporary, adult DOLLAR dark, romance series focusing on Tasmin Blythe (aka Pim), and billionaire Elder Prest.

WARNING: PENNIES is a dark romance with scenes of graphic and implied violence, rape, sexual abuse and torture. PENNIES and the Dollar series may not suitable for everyone ; there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Tasmin and Elder) PENNIES focuses on the murder, abduction and enslavement of a young eighteen year old girl named Tasmin Bythe who has been sold to a Norwegian business man – a sadistic, sexually and physically abusive monster-by an unknown source. Two years of abuse, rape and torture at the hands of Alrik Asbjorn (aka Master A) and several of his friends has found our story line heroine selectively mute and gradually falling into a darkness from where they may be no return. Enter Elder Prest, a man submerged into the illegal world of arms dealing, power and control-a man known to be a killer and a thief- who would be both Tasmin’s savior and downfall. What ensues is the struggle for Tasmin to remain quiet in the face of her potential freedom when to speak could mean the end of her life-an end she welcomes in more ways than one.

PENNIES is a story revealed in present time and through written memories of a girl who has, for all intents and purposes, died and been resurrected as Pim. Her thoughts are poured into a ‘diary’ of sorts-she writes to no one, and no one listens-a reminder of who she was and what she has now become. The premise is dark, controversial and tragic. The abuse is humiliating, painful and life-threatening; the heroine borders on the abyss between life and death on more than one occasion. To disobey means reprimand; a reprimand means pain, blood and broken bones.

Pepper Winters has reached into the inky darkness for her latest story. There are moments of graphic violence, disturbing implications, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. The imagery is dark and alarming; the violence is intense and extreme; the pain is heartbreaking and tearful. PENNIES is a complex and impassioned novel of suffering; an all consuming tale about betrayal, revenge and survival; a powerful and violent story of one woman whose freedom was stolen for a million and a half pounds. Give me a ‘penny’ for your thoughts!

excerpt

Fuck this.
I stalked forward.
My hand came up.
The urge to soothe her catapulted my fingers to her cheek. My skin erupted from her delicate heat. I’d already had my single touch when I’d petted her hair. I wasn’t permitted a second.
But it didn’t stop me.
One second, she stood close, arching her chin at the door.
The next, she was across the cage, flying into a stack of boxes that tumbled in a clatter of butcher knives, butter knives, and sharp forks.
Her eyes turned luminous in the gloom, locking on mine with rage.
Shit.
I’d forgotten myself by feeling sorry for this beaten wraith, but she hadn’t forgotten her overwhelming hatred of men.
I didn’t look away. But I didn’t explain myself, either.
I’d borrowed her for the night. If I wanted to touch her, I could. The fact that she’d leapt away meant I could report her to her master and have her punished.
Or you could punish her instead.
The distance between us grew thicker as we breathed fast.
I waited…wanting to know just how deep her education in pleasure flowed. Tearing her gaze from mine, she swallowed hard. Piece by piece, she hid her loathing, replacing it with reluctant acceptance.
Inching closer, her toes nudged aside sharp blades as she made her way to me and fell to her knees on the cold concrete.
Half of me jolted with insane lust. Most of me shied away with repulsion as her straggly hair covered her face but not before I saw the twisted disgust and echoing despair.
“Get up,” I murmured. Even though my voice was low, the cavern of the garage amplified it, layering it with bite.
Instantly, she swooped up. The crackle of her joints and misused cartilage in her bones sounded like tiny gunfire.
“Don’t kneel. Not in here.”
