5 STARS
What a wild ride!I loved everything in this story! It's emotional, intense, dark, hot and passionate. Pepper Winters delivers a fantastic love story with two broken characters. I love Pepper Winters writing but especially in this series her writing is so poetic.
Cleo and Arthur are incredible characters. I loved them with all my heart. They are both damaged and they have their issues but they also have each other. Even thought people want to tear them apart, they always find a way to be together. Cleo is tough and determined. She is perfect for Arthur!
“You are me. And I am you. We might have separate thoughts and minds, Buttercup, but we have the same heart and soul.”
The story has many twists to keep you fully invested in the story. Also there is action, suspense and some seriously hot moments. An amazing, dark MC book! I highly recommend it to everyone. If you're already Pepper Winter's fan, rest assured, you will not be disappointed!!
There
hadn’t been a single moment in the past eight years when I’d awoken and wished
I could forget.
Every
morning had been a struggle to remember.
Every
night a battle between needing to know and needing to forget.
I’d
tried to trick my mind into remembering, but either I was too stubborn or too
afraid, because it never worked. And . . . as the days turned from hell to
heaven and Arthur fell back in love with me, I didn’t really mind that a chunk
of my life was missing.
I
had him back. Larger than life and even more perfect than any recollection
could do justice.
I
was content with that.
But
living in the silver haze of amnesia, with no past or present, came with its
own burdens and trials. It meant I couldn’t find my true self, but it also
granted unusual freedom. Freedom because I couldn’t find my true self. I had
the latitude to be stronger, braver—all because
I
had no notion of who I’d been or what I was risking by choosing
certain
paths.
I’d
be lying if I said I didn’t like that indulgent laxity . . . that power.
It’d
granted me silent strength to chase Arthur even when he seemed unchasable. And
it’d helped me find the truth that I’d been missing all these years.
But
now, pinned to a table with men gawking at my half-naked form, I wished I could
disappear into the void where my mind had vacationed for so long.
I
wished I could delete whatever was about to happen.
I
struggled against the fingers around my wrists, unable to look up at the men
holding me down. My cheek squashed against the table; my toes ached as I dug
into the tiled floor, trying to stop myself from sliding and becoming
completely helpless.
Rubix
stood behind me. The heat of his thighs against my T‑shirt and the
roughness of his fingers sent my heart spiraling.
Please, don’t
let this happen.
Rubix
was many things, but a rapist? Would he stoop that low?
The
unequivocal answer reverberated through my head.
Yes.
Especially
if such a thing would hurt the one person he hated above all. Arthur would
never be able to forgive himself if I was violated so terribly.
It will kill
him.
My
heart shattered into kaleidoscopic pieces at the thought of destroying Arthur
in such a way. Me? I could brave it. I could heal. But him? He’d never be able
to look at me again without suffering such awful guilt.
“Why do you hate your son so much?” I whispered,
fearing his answer.
Rubix chuckled. “You never guessed?”
Never guessed? “No.” How would I ever guess something so wrong?
“He was supposed to be like me. Instead, he was like
her.”
“What?” My forehead furrowed. “Like her . . . your
wife?”
“Yes,” he snarled. “So fucking soft. She was always
so meek—riddled with indecision and then later with disease. Arthur was
supposed to make me proud—but all he did was make me a laughing stock.”
“All because he preferred to use his brain over his
fists? Because he chose to go to school instead of smoking crack with the rest
of the lowlife prospects?”
Rubix tucked my hair behind my ears. “No, pretty
Buttercup, because he chose your family over his own.”
My stomach ruptured. “He didn’t choose us over you.
You gave him no choice. Arthur wanted to be good rather than follow morals he didn’t
believe in. That doesn’t make him soft. That makes him strong.”
Stronger than
you’ll ever be
