Blurb/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.

This is a story of eroticism, horror, and sweet tragedy. It contains graphic scenes, but there’s always light in the darkness.

** Trigger Warning **

A New Adult Dark Contemporary Romance, not suitable for people sensitive to grief, slavery, and nonconsensual sex. A story about finding love in the strangest of places, a will of iron that grows from necessity, and forgiveness that may not be enough.

My Thoughts

After Reading Tears of Tess  and Quintessentially Q I knew I was hooked. This Book was so explosive and shocking. Just when you think a series can get know better and it does, WOW it is a dark, poetic and not to mention a phenomenal read that will flay you and mend you back together slowly. I am not sure I can truly put in words how Pepper Winters writing affects me and do it justice. All I will say for sure is that she has set the bar so high that now have beat her she is at the top of my list and I will purchase and buy EVERY book she writes. Her Writing Prowess is Unlike any Other and I CAN'T Get Enough.

This story starts off with them being engaged we all know it is something these to deserve. I mean these two deserve to have their HEA after all the right well Pepper had other plans for us.that is for sure.

This time around Q is the target and hell hath no fury like a woman scored and Tess is scored.
Filled with twist and turns throughout this book Pepper will leave you Screaming and Howling. The Ending though makes up for all of the torture we have to endure. It is so beautiful and fitting for the 2 Monsters in the Dark that we have came to love and crave.

A Few of My Favorite of Many Quotes in Twisted Together

The blackness tried to swallow us whole, kill us,ruin us,capture our soul

We're altered,we're abnormal, our souls stained with each other's mark. Our souls are that of monsters born in the dark. 

You are the one for me, my monster in the dark
You are the perfect mate for me, wicked and unmarked
Together we cannot be denied, our undeniable spark
Together we will find our perfect evolving never ending arc

Not to mention this Q's letter of feelings to Tess that had my emotions raging. 

Esclave… Tess You won’t see this— just like I won’t tell you certain things about me no matter how long we’re married. Fuck me. Married. Me? I never thought I’d experience what others took for granted— until you, of course. You landed on my doorstep and stole my fucking heart the moment you fought me over the pool table. I’d never been so turned on and so utterly confused. I tried to keep you safe from me, but I never thought I’d have to keep you safe from the bastards in my sordid life. I failed you, and I don’t think I’ll ever get over how much you’ve suffered— all because of me. You were tortured because of me. I could promise you the world. I could cut out my heart and present it at your feet. I could write sonnets and poems and lyrics all designed to spill my fucking guilt and remorse, but nothing will make the ache go away. You were so strong once and now you’re stronger still. You think you’re broken, but I see the truth. Not only did you cut me out and force me to face my worst nightmare, but I feel as if you’ll disappear at any moment. But you won’t be able to leave once you’ve said ‘I do.’ The moment you’ve signed and become Tess Mercer, your soul belongs to me. You’ll truly be mine, and I’ll own you forever. Maybe then the fear will go away. Fuck, I truly hope so, because every day I’m going mad. Going insane with the thought of you walking out the door and leaving. Once you’re truly mine, I might find the guts to show you a little of what I’ve hidden all my life. I want to welcome you into my world. I want to share everything that I am. I want to teach you everything that I know. Fuck, Tess, you don’t get it. Do you understand that I’m not the one with the power— it’s you. You’re the one in control, and it kills me to admit it. Will you ever forgive me? Will you ever look at me the same? Will you ever stop thinking that if you had never met me, you’d never have been taken the second time? If only I fucking sent you home when I had the chance. If only I stopped the darkness from building. If only— hindsight is a fucking bitch. But if I had sent you away, my life would’ve remained the same. Empty. Lonely. So then I can’t regret falling for you even though my need for you almost killed you. So you see? Vicious circle. Around and around. I’m the cause of your pain, yet I want more of it. I’m the reason you’re shattered but I want to be the one to glue you back together. I’m such a selfish bastard. Forgive me. Forgive my sins and I’ll split open my soul and let you in. How ironic that you think I’ll leave you. How pathetic that you think you don’t deserve me. The truth is, I’m petrified you’ll finally see me as a monster and despise me. I’m a fucking mess. You think I’m invincible. But I’m not. I’m weak. Weak for you and everything I taste when I’m with you. Say yes. Please fucking say yes. If you do, then I’ll be the best master and husband the world has ever seen. I’ll give you a life full of experiences and passion. We’ll finally find peace in the dark—
