“Life after death…love after debts…is it possible after so much pain?”

No information will be given so no spoilers are slipped, but if you enjoyed the Indebted Series, you'll want to read this final edition.

There are minor spoilers in this review.

Oh I loved this extended epilogue. It was the perfect mix of sexy and sweet. I kind of wish all of Pepper's books had longer epilogues like this one. It would be perfect for all her books. And if any of her characters deserve to live happily ever after it's definitely Nila and Jethro because of all the shit they went through.

This book takes place over the course of quite a few years. We see Jethro and Nila getting married, settling into their lives at Hawksridge Hall, having their first baby and a few years later their second. The names of their kids, Kestrel and Emma made me cry a little. I still miss Jethro's brother, Kes. We also see what life brings for Vaughn and Jasmine, which I thought was really nice because I've been shipping them every since they met. I'm glad they got their happily ever after as well. *cries some more*

This book isn't dark like the rest of the series. It focuses more on how happy Nila and Jethro are now and what life is bringing them. But there are a couple of very steamy scenes at least. I mean, it's still a story by Pepper Winters, so what did you expect? I just love the way she balances the sexy and sweet. It was perfection. And I'm already missing these characters.

Final Debt by Pepper Winters blew my freaking mind. I couldn't stop reading the book, I was so damn hooked. This is the last book in the series (aside from a 128 page epilogue) and definitely the best one, in my opinion. SO MUCH DEATH THO! I have to admit that I teared up more than once, with a certain character dying and Jethro's inner struggles. It just all got to me. But oh it was such a fantasic book. I loved it.

I'm actually not sure what more to say. The story took us to from England to Africa and back. It also let's it reader learn so much more about the debt inheritance and all my questions about it got answered. Because I've been wondering how it all started in the first place. It was really amazing to finally know about all of it. 

The time the story spend in Africa was terrifying but also kind of my favorite. And I can't help but marvel how strong Nila was and how even though she was sure she would die she was determined to destroy the Hawks. Jethro in the meanwhile was doing everything he could do save Nila even though there was no guarantee he would even make it in time. And so much happened there. I still can't quite believe it. 

Overall, I couldn't have imagined a perfect ending for this dark romance series. Final Debt was everything I'd hoped it would be and so much more. It was sexy, full of unexpected twists and turns, emotional and my favorite out of all the books. I loved it!

Review: Fourth Debt by Pepper Winters

Title: Fourth Debt
Author: Pepper Winters
Series: Indebted #5
Publication: August 11th 2015
Genre: Dark Romance
Purchase Links: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository | Google Play | Kobo
Rating: 4/5★

Fifth Book in the New York Times Bestselling Series.

"We'd won. We'd cut through the lies and treachery and promised an alliance that would free us both. But even as we won, we lost. We didn't see what was coming. We didn't know we had to plan a resurrection."

Nila Weaver fell in love. She gifted her entire soul to a man she believed was worthy. And in the process, she destroyed herself. Three debts paid, the fourth only days away. The Debt Inheritance has almost claimed another victim.

Jethro Hawk fell in love. He let down his walls to a woman he believed was his cure. For a moment, he was free. But then he paid the ultimate price.

There is no more love. Only war. Hope is dead. Now, there is only death all around them.
**Only suitable for Dark Romance lovers.
Full length book. Six in series. Fourth Debt is 85,000 words.

I'm glad I finally got around to reading the last few books in this series because I had kind of forgotten how much I love the Indebted books. Nila and Jethro won't ever beat my love for Tess and Q but they're coming pretty damn close. 

I feel like I can't really say a lot about this book, even though I really enjoyed it. First of all, I didn't stop to write my review right away but went straight to Final Debt after finishing. This might have been a mistake but I just couldn't wait. Second, because I felt like this was a prologue to everything that would happen in Final Debt, which blew my mind. It's hard not to say a lot of things that would spoil it for readers who might not have read this book but of course I will do my best.

Fourth Debt picks up right after Third Debt, obviously. You can say that the ending of Third Debt was pretty intense with Jethro and Kes being shot (presumably) to death. I really felt for Nila in this book because as she was dealing with her grieve as well as having almost no allies anymore at Hawksridge. And honestly, I never hated the Hawks as much as I did in this book. I could never really decide who I disliked more Bonnie or Daniel. Weirdly enough I have never been able to fully hate Cut, although he's a dispicable human being.

It's also been close to three years since I read the previous books. I got sidetracked by other books but even so I was right back into the world of the debt inheritance. And I gotta say this is probably one of Pepper's more cruel and dark books. The things that happen in these books... wow. I love it, though, in a sinister sort of way.

Overall, Fourth Debt by Pepper Winters was a really great read. I definitely enjoyed the book even though Nila and Jethro were apart for most of it. It was a great addition to the Indebted series.

Review: Indebted by Inger Iversen

Title: Indebted: 'Til Death Do Us Part
Author: Inger Iversen
Series: Teal & Trent #3
Publication: September 28th 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Purchase Links: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo
Rating: 4.5/5 ★

The second I heard the rumble of the motorcycles hauling ass down my street, I knew my past had officially come back to fuck me in the ass—hard and deep.

Trent watched as Teal stared out of the front door into the darkened eyes of a debt he swore to keep years earlier. The little confessional he’d had with her months back revealed the majority of his secrets, but once again, like the fool he was, he’d held his deepest, darkest secret just beyond her reach. He’d thought to protect her from the man he could have become—from the sex, lies, and drugs that could have consumed his life. The second his vow walked through the door pushing past his woman and eying him like a fucking dart eyes a bull’s-eye, Trent new life came to a complete and utter stop. Now, his daughter and wife were in danger and Trent would stop at nothing to keep them safe.

Indebted by Inger Iversen was in one word: amazeballs! It even ended up being my favorite Teal and Trent book so far. What I love about these books is that they're very easy to read. I took my sweet time and read it in three days but I could've easily read it in one sitting, I think. I loved it!

The first six chapters of the story took place six years ago so we get a little more backstory about Trent in those days. We get to see how he becomes Indebted to a motorcycle club and six years later when he's finally settled with Teal and their daughter Emma they come to collect.

I didn't realize until I had finished the book that actually a lot happened through out the story. It isn't just about the MC coming to collect Trent's debt to them, it also involved some personal things for Trent, like finally meeting his son. I've been hoping this would happen!

The suspense level was definitely kicked up a notch with Indebted, I thought. I was almost biting my nails at some points because I have such a soft spot for Teal and Trent. I just wanted them to be okay. And as always I loved that Katie and Logan made appearances with their kids (SO ADORABLE).

Overall, Indebted: 'Til Death Do Us Part by Inger Iversen had danger, suspense, steamy romance and a great cast of characters. Basically all the thing I'm looking for in a good contemporary romance book.

“I tried to play a game. I tried to wield deceit as perfectly as the Hawks. But when I thought I was winning, I wasn’t. Jethro isn’t what he seems—he’s the master of duplicity. However, I refuse to let him annihilate me further.” Nila Weaver has grown from naïve seamstress to full-blown fighter. Every humdrum object is her arsenal, and sex…sex is her greatest weapon of all.

Jethro Hawk has found more than a worthy adversary in Nila—he’s found the woman who could destroy him. There’s a fine line between hatred and love, and an even finer path between fear and respect. The fate of his house rests on his shoulders, but no matter how much ice lives inside his heart, Nila flames too bright to be extinguished.

I'm going to start with saying that Pepper Winters is one amazing author. And if you haven't read her books yet, then you're missing out on some outstanding stories. Her books never, and I mean NEVER disappoint. She always manages to surprise me with the way they go and First Debt was not an exception. 

The first book, Debt Inheritance, ended in a pretty frustrating cliffhanger with Jethro telling Nila to run. I was much going insane with wondering where and how the story would continue. And oh, I loved how it did. The story starts pretty much where things ended so I could get right into it. The whole book gave me a whirlwind of emotions. I hated Jethro him in one moment but loved him in the next. I root for him and Nila, though and I love how they fight for control over each other so hard. It's really a power struggle between them. You just never know who wins. Meanwhile they fight their growing feelings for each other until they reach their breaking point. 

Also, the first debt is finally happening and it was horrible and yet everyone says it's the easiest of them all. If that one was easy, then I wonder what the next debts are going to be. I can only fear for Nila, knowing this. The end was pretty intense because we finally find out who Kite is. One the one hand I wasn't too surprised by this revelation but on the other hand I was betting on someone else. I'm not sure how this will affect the story but I'm so very curious to see what will happen next!

I just know there's a whole lot more to be revealed. Jethro is still surrounded by a lot of mystery and I'm looking forward to finding out more about him, his family and everything in between. 

Overall, Pepper Winters dazzled me once again with her incredible writing. First Debt, was a fantastic sequel to Debt Inheritance where everything got kicked up a notch more. I was surprised by some turn of events that took place and how I was still so completely fascinated by the whole story, characters and not to mention the fact that I literally couldn't stop reading until I had finished it — It was that good!

Excerpt:
A small gasp fell from my lips as his fingers kissed the paper-thin skin. His eyes held me hostage. The golden brown was now a swirling bronze, raging with the same demanding hunger I knew reflected in mine.
“This sort of reminds me of the forest,” I whispered. “The trees around us—no one else.” My words fell like petals, waiting for Jethro to crush them beneath his glossy shoe.
But…he didn’t.
Tracing one hand from my wrist, along the inside of my arm, and right to my throat, he fisted my ponytail. With intensity that stripped my soul to the very essence of who I was, he pulled my head back slowly, sensually, full of sexual power
His eyes dropped to my mouth. “I’ll let you in on a little secret, Ms. Weaver.”
I panted, my neck straining against his hold, but I made no move to break the poignant awareness.
“You won that night, but I lied when I said it pissed me off.” His mouth dropped, his tongue licked my bottom lip with the barest of grazes.
