❤ COVER REVEAL - Falling For Bentley by Shawnte Borris
Synopsis:

RELEASE DAY BLITZ - Banded by Hilary Storm
Synopsis
The previous books in the Rebel Walking Series should be read before this one for the best experience and optimal character development.
Excerpt
"Hey, baby, I can't wait ‘til you're officially Mrs. Walker." His deep whisper pulls me out of my almost asleep state. I roll over to face him and even though it's dark, I watch his face. Nose to Nose.
"I'm already yours. You know this." So much has happened since he proposed. We were going to wait another year, but Talon is ready to make it official. I love his urgency—I'm ready, too—but I don’t want to rush it with everything that’s going on with the band and the trial.
Rebel Walking lost their spot on the tour when Taron was arrested. We've spent the last five months, either in court or in limbo, waiting for something to happen. A few months ago Taron was released from all charges, but the Walker's haven't rested while the trial for Dylan has been on going. Luckily, this morning he was found guilty on multiple counts of attempted rape, attempted murder and countless other offenses. He will be spending many years in prison, which is where he belongs.
The instant relief when the verdict was read was so peaceful. We should be celebrating, but everyone is too exhausted to do anything today.
"I know, but I want the world to know."
"They do. Are you kidding me? We're always together."
"We could just do something small at the lake house. We could walk down to the beach and get married next to the water—just have our family and the crew there to share it with us. Avery can be the flower girl. I’d have Taron, Holden, and Luke on my side and of course you’d have Ivy, Lilly, and Macy on yours."
"You have this all planned out, don't you?" I sit up in bed and begin to think of all the stuff I'll need to do to pull this off.
"All of the important stuff, I do." He rolls onto his back, pulling my hands toward him. "Come here, baby."
I work my way into a straddle on top of the man who holds my whole heart. "We're not going to stress over this. Let's just keep it simple." I let his words soak in. I can't wait to be Mrs. Talon Walker and it really isn't my style to have a huge wedding, anyway. I figured he would've wanted one, but I'm relieved he doesn't.
"Simple. I like it." His hands begin to roam over my body and I take the opportunity to rotate my hips just right so that he feels my warmth. Sleeping naked has its benefits.
"You wicked, wicked woman. Don't you dare tease me." His fingers pinch my nipples as he thrusts upward, reminding me what he's packing. His erection moves right where I want it to.
"Oh, I'm not teasing." My breathy voice amuses him.
"What's so funny?" This time it's my impatience that's obvious.
"You're always so ready for me. You never disappoint."
"Damn straight. Have you ever seen yourself?" I lower my mouth to his chest and begin nibbling over his chest and neck. His hands continue to roam over my body, sending chills in every direction. My hair falls over my face and he uses his hand to swipe it to one side. I feel his hand leave me and his body stretch toward the nightstand right before he flicks on the light.
He loves to watch me during sex. It strikes me to the depths of my soul when he does this. His stare pierces straight through my body the entire time. It's raw and so real, but I love it.
I lift my torso back up and watch him tuck his arms beside his head. My fingers run over and through the ridges of his defined stomach. He works hard to stay sculpted and I never miss the opportunity to truly appreciate his efforts.
My fingers follow the muscles straight to where our hips meet. I slowly lift my hips and enjoy that his shaft lifts to the exact spot I need it to be. Sliding down onto him, I close my eyes and love the feeling of him filling me completely. With my hands splayed across his abs, I begin to move slowly.
My focus on how he feels is consuming me. I open my eyes to watch him, not surprised when I find him staring deep into my eyes. Keeping my eyes locked with his, I continue my motions. He allows me to move completely on my own; I love when he gives me control.

Excerpt
Rachel lifted her face and pressed a kiss to her favorite arm her spot. “Devin, all of these years, I’ve been trying so hard to replace you, to make my mind forget by filling it with…men. But, every time, Dev. Every single time, I was disappointed. No one can ever be you because you are the only one for me. And to answer your question, yes. I’m more than okay. That wasn’t just sex, Devin. That was you, bringing me back to life. I want to do that over, and over and over again. And next time,” she rolled over to face him, a glint in her eye. “I want it like I know you wanted to do it this time. Hard, fast, and in whatever position you want it. We had some fabulous times together. Let’s do that again.”
“I want nothing more than to do it all,” Devin said, his voice low. “But don’t mistake what just happened for me just being gentle on you. I wanted to make love to you, to show you what you mean to me. I can tell you all day long, but I wanted you to feel it; feel me. My heart is beating only for you. My body is yours. I love you, Rachel.”
She climbed back on top of him, pressing her body against him. “Devin,” she said, her face even with his. Pressing kisses to his eyes, nose, then lips, her body started shaking. Why was this so hard for her? She knew it like she knew her own name, but saying it was so difficult for her. “I…” She dipped her head down and kissed his ear, running her tongue along it, then his neck. When goose bumps broke out on his body, she grinned against his neck. Going back to his lips, she put her hands against his face and looked at him in the eyes. “I love your eyes,” she whispered. “And your face. God help me, that body is to die for. But Devin?”
“Yes.”
“What I really love?” Rachel paused, willing her body to stop quivering. “Is you. I always have.” There, that wasn’t so bad. “I have since the night I met you, and I’ve never stopped. All this time, all these years, it’s only been you for me, Dev. I know we have shit to work through. But, I love you. I do. I don’t think there will ever be a moment where I’m not completely and totally in love with you.”

My Review
Wow. I didn’t really know what to expect when I first picked
up this book. There were many mixed reviews, some said ‘it was too dark and
disturbing’ while others said ‘one of the most captivating reads’. I went in
with an open mind, but what I didn’t expect was to be completely hooked and
blown away by this story. It was so gripping, intense and edgy that it drew
draw you in, and held you until you finished it.
“You are no one’s but mine. Do you understand?”
We are first introduced to Tess Snow as the young twenty
year old girl, who has a perfect boyfriend and perfect relationship. She’s a
strong willed character, smart and beautiful. However, even though Brax may be
the perfect boyfriend, there are urges and needs of Tess she holds inside that
he cannot meet. It is on a vacation with Brax that she finds herself kidnapped and
in the human trafficking organisation and sold to a man who goes by the name Q.
Q is no ordinary man, he is now her master and she, his slave.
“I want to hurt you.
I want to own you.
I want to devour you.
I want to make you mine.
I’m already yours.”
Q is a wealthy, controlled, strong alpha lead who you can’t
help but feel just a little conflicted. On the one hand, you want to hate him
for what he represents and what he’s like with Tess sometimes. But then, you
just can’t help but love him. He’s complicated. One minute he acted human and
the next he completely morphed into the monster inside (kind of reminded me of
Jekyll and Hyde in a small sense). I was sooo torn between my feelings for him
but I loved the fact I was like this. He just doesn’t care. No excuses, take
him how he is or leave. It’s that simple. I LOVED the character development in
this book as I felt that you really got to connect with each character, even
though the book was told in Tess’s POV. This made it so that every emotion and
situation was felt by the reader, and you couldn’t help but feel their
struggles and pain throughout the book.
“My role as your master is to debase you to the point of having no feelings, no emotions, no hopes or dreams”
This isn’t a book for you if you’re looking for a nice sweet
read with love conquers all. This is more a tale about the connection between
two individuals who keep their monsters and fantasies close to the surface, ready
to break out at a moment’s notice. Apart they’re but a mere spark, whereas when
they’re together they are an explosion. I did actually love them as a couple,
everything else aside. Pepper Winter’s ability to capture these characters
essence and personality to such a degree is extremely well executed. There are
some scenes that may disturb some people and they can be quite graphic so do
expect that when reading. That said, even though they are brutal they do help
to add to the overall feel of the book and the direction that the author chose
to go in and the book is based on the D/s relationship of the two as well as
the slavery aspect. These situations are portrayed tastefully and also avoid
the Stockholm syndrome as it was all Tess. Also, get ready for a kicker of an
epilogue. Overall an incredible read, with added angst and a gripping storyline
that gets you hooked and addicted. Can’t wait to read the Quintessentially Q
now!
“Monsters find each other in the dark.”
My Rating
