Welcome to my stop on the blog tour of Je Suis à Toi by Pepper Winters. This is one of my favorite series. I adore Tess and Q to bits and pieces so I'm glad I got to be a part of this tour. ♥
“Life taught me an eternal love will demand the worst sacrifices. A transcendent love will split your soul, cleaving you into pieces. A love this strong doesn’t grant you sweetness—it grants you pain. And in that pain is the greatest pleasure of all.”

The long awaited follow up to the New York Times Bestselling Trilogy Monsters in the Dark.
“Life taught me an eternal love will demand the worst sacrifices. A transcendent love will split your soul, cleaving you into pieces. A love this strong doesn’t grant you sweetness—it grants you pain. And in that pain is the greatest pleasure of all.”
Q made me the happiest esclave in the world. He gave me his heart, his empire, his ruthless unforgiving love. And life finally left us in peace.
A man like my maître has special needs though, growing stronger as our lives intertwine. The only way to survive his monster is to agree to all his desires.
Including his latest wish.
I’m his.
And I won’t refuse.
So basically this book, even though it wasn't very long, pulled my out of a small reading slumb I was having. Leave it to Tess and Q to pull me out of it. Right from the moment I started this book I had a really hard time to stop reading. It just pulled me back into this world and I loved it.
In this book, Q has a secret he won't tell Tess. Tess knows something is up with him but gives him time to tell her himself. I've got to admit I had an idea to what this secret could be and I ended up being right.
Of course besides the big secret that kind of messes them up for a little bit, Tess and Q are still kinky as hell. Some scenes in the book are really scorching hot and made me want to fan myself.
I also loved the appearances of some of the side characters we got to know in the other books. Franco and Suzette are my favorites. I would love to read more about them in the future!
Overall, Je Suis à Toi by Pepper Winters was every bit as amazing as I hoped it would be and I was really happy how this book turned out in the end. I might even have gotten a little teary-eyed. Tess and Q will always have a very special place in my heart.
Excerpt
“Don’t struggle. You know I’ll keep you safe.” Q’s murmur danced down my back.
My panic receded as trust billowed fast and true.
Q was born into darkness, but he’d never baptized me in his blackest desires. And because of that, I could implicitly say he spoke the truth. No matter what he did to me, he would never truly harm me.
Q paused, his tattooed chest soaking. His feathered sparrows fluffing off droplets almost alive on his skin. “I told you once never to fall for me. That I didn’t want the curse of breaking your heart while I broke so many other pieces of you.” His hands landed on my breasts, cupping them reverently. “Yet you fought me, just like you said you would. You fell for me, just like you promised me you would. And now, you’re willing to give me what I need even after I tricked you and lied.”
I swayed as I fell even deeper for this complex husband of mine. Q was all my fantasies in one glorious lifetime. The fact he finally wanted to share me with his child spoke volumes about his capacity to love.
“I’m so glad you ignored me, esclave.” His fingertips branded my nipples with pain. “So fucking happy you married me.” Pushing me backward, he smiled harshly as my spine met the pool wall. His chest strained as he sucked in a heavy breath. “You’re so fucking beautiful.”
My heart hammered in my ears as he kissed me.
His tongue laced with mine, and I sank into the sweet embrace, knowing it would be the last I received tonight. The air crackled with an impending storm. Q’s control frayed every second, his eyes drenching in determination and the salacious need to hurt.
Breaking the kiss, he opened his hand, revealing the other item he’d retrieved.
A tiny pair of silver scissors.
Haven’t met Q & Tess yet?
