Not as believable as others

I love PW’s writing and stories - Debt Inheritance is my favorite series. Here, the main plot is great, however, subplots related to Sully’s character traits are odd to me, namely his extreme affinity for animals to the exclusion of humans. His capacity for such deep love is inconsistent with his stunted emotional state. I understand trust issues but this goes to the max degree. Also, at least one of his major decisions seems unreasonable and unlikely under the circumstances.

The narration was great! I would recommend this book for established fans. I encourage new readers to begin with another PW series.

"This book belongs to romance. The darker and hotter, the better. Without romance, without those butterfly flutters, heart-tripping whispers, skin-flaying touches, life would be boring." (Pepper Winters)

My review for books 2 through 4 are minimal as far as the story line to avoid spoilers. But everything you need is in the synopsis. The books in this series are NOT standalone books. Each has a cliffhanger, and the series must be read in order.

“I’ve been sullied by Sully… in every possible way. Mentally, physically, emotionally.”

Book 3 is more graphic and triggering than book 1. In book 2, you learned more of Sullivan’s past and why he’s become the way he is. Book 3 delves even more into that. Sully believes that everything he loves dies. He believes he is cursed, that he doesn’t deserve Eleanor, and that he would destroy her. Sully is the perfect anti-hero. Eleanor/Jinx is an amazing character. She’s courageous, determined, and exceptionally loving and nurturing. The electricity between them continues to grow. The romance is even hotter than the first 2 books. My jaw dropped, quickly followed by my inhibitions and panties. I was lulled into a false sense of security… until the cliffhanger ending. Gahh!!

This story is spellbinding and full of so much pain and passion. Every sentence and character has a purpose to the story. Pepper Winters is a truly talented storyteller! She is detailed and describes everything with such perfection, it makes it easy to picture the world she has created. I felt dizzy as she took me on new heights of ecstasy, passion, and intrigue… until I finally just gave in to the rapturous raw savagery of this story.

Readers, get ready for a ride that is dark, intense, raw, twisted, exhilarating, exciting, kinky, sexy, dirty, addicting, angsty, explosive, full of internal turmoil, thrilling, and scary in the most scintillating way. A ride that pushes your limits and makes you crave everything that Goddess Isles has to offer.

The narration is done in true Duet style. The flow was nothing short of amazing. Sarah Puckett embodies Eleanor and her tenacity, stubbornness, and spunky attitude. Sully is one of the darkest and most alpha characters I have met. Scott Rider couldn’t be more perfect in portraying him. Scott perfectly delivers Sully’s dark, twisted, and complex character. Sarah and Scott ARE Jinx and Sully. Sarah expertly delivers Eleanor’s anger, lust, desire, and emotional turmoil. Scott expertly delivers Sully’s raw emotions that are full of lust, anger, desire, jealousy, internal turmoil, and hardcore alpha male persona. Their duet narration plays out the story in a very realistic way and makes you love the characters even more. When I’m done with this series, I will definitely be searching for more books by these 2 narrators!

My fav one so far in the series

This is the 3rd installment of the Goddess Isles series and I actually LOVE this book as it peels back the mask of Sully bit by bit simply by the love he is discovering for her. Eleanor/Jinx is such a strong, yet innocent woman who only knows goodness but can’t see the darkness in him or what his past did to him. Onward to book 4....warning that this series is quite stressful....and get you anxious of what is next to happened...Huge cliff hanger!!!

Sigh’ just no…

Big siiiiigh… and 🤬

Female protagonist is supposedly 22. Dumb does not begin to cover it… the only thing she seems to have is her looks and what she can offer between her legs. The name protagonist got on my nerves… for as old as he was and the things he’s been through, he’s ruled by what’s between his legs and wants to call it love? (I would understand better if it was his brother.)

No spoilers here but the book started with promise and I think this is where I get off from these CH series… the stories are elongated for the sake of series? I don’t understand. I usually enjoy Ms. Winters’ books and she does a really good job painting the background down to the trees perfectly and this book was not an exception, I could almost see the beaches and traveled with them to the islands etc. but gosh dang it the characters do not match their back stories and ruined everything… To be fair, there were some really good parts and the steamy parts are good… just wish Eleanor did not talk or “think” too much… may have worked if it was mostly Sullivan’s POV perhaps… just really tired of reading about ditsy but “skinny, small and striking” characters… perhaps a cute Bob hairstyle, glasses (or not), not too “small and skinny” and also smart? Maybe a tall girl once in a great while? Ugh

Narration: They both did a good job with their parts. I liked that “Sullivan” or “Eleanor” would act their parts in each other’s chapters.

I am returning this book, I try not to but It’s not worth it.

Sad there's not a book 4 on Here

I truly love this series and feel this is such an interesting read. The way the book lefts off makes you want to go out an buy book 4. I am was truly sadden when I found out the book 4 is not on audible. I wish it was. Even if you read up to just this book is so worth the read!!!

Heating up

Heating up with this book. This is the third book in the series. The characters continue to be sexy and interesting. Thanks

Solid 4 stars

Diving into book 4❤️❤️ This series is pretty good, my fav will always be the Indebted series. I liked Sully and enjoyed Elenor but I feel this had too much inner monologue. I also thought it was a bit too descriptive. It’s dark but no where near as dark as some of her other books.

Definitely some good twists and turns. Her writing style always blows me away along with her imagination.
