 Synopsis

But when an unexpected gig throws her and Jayde Kimberland a deal of a lifetime, Arianna finds herself intertwined with the rock star bad boy, Bryden Rowe, who leads the platinum selling rock group, From Yesterday. His reputation isn’t the best and she doesn’t want to be another notch on his belt.
Will she be able to keep those walls firm in place or will Bryden be the one to finally knock them down? 
When the past comes knocking on both their doors, emotions run high, and tensions run even higher. Will they be able to break past all the barriers and find comfort in one another or will it only last while on the road?

Teaser
“What are you doing, Bryden?” My voice came out in an exhausted sounding tone.
He turned back to me and caged me in with his arms once more. His grey-blue eyes were piercing into me and all I could do was slouch back against the elevator wall. “Why do you have such a negative outlook about me, sassy girl? What have I done to make you feel the way you feel about me and what can I do to change that?” Bryden closed his eyes and placed his forehead back against mine. His breath was slightly blowing against my face as he breathed. The faint smell of whiskey and honey lingered in the air. “Let me in…please…just let me in.” His lips were so close to mine and I wanted so badly to kiss him again, but I knew that I couldn’t.
“I can’t.” I whispered.
He opened his eyes and the sadness that I saw almost caused me to cave but the sudden ringing of my cell phone startled me out of the moment. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked at the screen, Brett’s name was flashing. “I’ve got to take this…” as Bryden pushed off the wall and turned away from me. “Hey Brett…” I chimed into the phone. I could see Bryden working his jaw back and forth at the sound of his name which caused my heart to ache. He leaned forward and un-did the stop button to allow the elevator to continue climbing up the floors. Then he pushed floor twelve, it was his way of letting me know that I needed to go back to my own room. I wasn’t listening to what Brett was rambling on about in my ear; instead I was watching Bryden standing there like a sad broken man would. My heart was officially confused.

✯BLOG TOUR✯ 'Quintessentially Q' by Pepper Winters


Release Date: December 15th, 2013
Genre: New Adult Erotic Suspense Romance
*Quintessentially Q is the second book in the Monsters In The Dark Series*


Blurb:



“All my life, I battled with the knowledge I was twisted… fucked up to want something so deliciously dark—wrong on so many levels. But then slave fifty-eight entered my world. Hissing, fighting, with a core of iron, she showed me an existence where two wrongs make a right."



Tess is Q’s completely. Q is Tess’s irrevocably. But now, they must learn the boundaries of their unconventional relationship, while Tess seeks vengeance on the men who sold her. Q made a blood-oath to deliver their corpses at Tess’s feet, and that’s just what he’ll do.



He may be a monster, but he’s Tess’s monster.


Ariana's Review
7 Million twisted stars!!!

Wow. I have been left completely and utterly speechless after reading this book. Pepper Winters has done it again and created such a insanely mind blowing story which has you feeling both physical and emotional pain for her characters. You are instantly dragged into this intensely dark world, and are left asking yourself if you will ever be able to find your way back to your own reality. How is it possible that Quintessentially Q (QQ) was even darker and more fucked up than Tears of Tess was? When I had read Tears of Tess (ToT) I swore there was nothing that could possibly be more twisted than that. Now here I am, body shaking, and mind spasming, and I'm not sure if I can ever recover from this story. Honestly, A white padded room sounds really good right about now. I couldn't believe that I actually and to put the book down and take a break a few times while reading, just to try and calm my racing, heart and keep myself from shattering into a million unfixable pieces.

You were shown so much more of Q in this book than you were in the past, and the complexity of both him and Tess completely amazes me. I cannot express enough how much I loved being able to understand the depths of both these characters and learning the different ways each of them viewed the world. In addition to seeing the true depth of Q's darkness, and finally being able to see the actual beast that lived inside him, you were also able to see this softer part of him where the light clearly shone through.

"I wanted to own her past, her present, her future. I wanted to be her first and last and fucking forever."

 With Tess having returned back to Q, she allowed herself to venture into the darkness which he had been fighting so hard to resist. Would she be able to not only accept the darkness that Q carried around inside him, but want it and crave it as well? 

"Q was all my nightmares, fantasies, and needs rolled into one bestial package. He was my drug of choice and I'd been craving him for four long days."

One thing is for sure, I seriously did NOT expect the direction this story went. I expected dark. I expected fucked up. But I did not expect the complete mind fuck which was thrown at me. I couldn't possibly continue reading… there was no way I could stop. My heart raced… my heart ceased to beat. I was completely and utterly broken, and yet I would do it over and over to myself time and time again. I was left wondering which was more twisted… the story itself, or me for loving the book as much as I did. 

"My soul burned with the urge to kill. No ounce of humanity existed- tonight it was all about death."

This was a must must MUST read!!!! If you thought you knew darkness before, then you are in for one hell of an awakening!

Excerpt


“Thanks mate,” John said to the bartender. He carefully turned around with their second shots of absinth. He knew Polliannah could drink. She was German and Russian, but absinth… he smiled. That poison would make you black out so fast!
He looked at his princess on the dance floor. She was dancing on her own like she owned the place. Got to Give it Up by Marvin Gaye! This place was certainly cheesy but it served its purpose. The men around her were careful enough not approach her too closely. She never looked more beautiful… simply dressed, dancing freely, happy and maybe a little drunk. She eagerly kissed him as soon as he reached her. They were both loosing up tonight and it felt great. He hasn’t done that in a very long time. He gave her the drink, “I don’t think we can go for a third round. Absinth is serious shit,” he told her.
She finished the drink, discarded the glass and grabbed his arse, “We’ll see.”
“This is the best night I’ve had in a long time… maybe ever, Polli,” he told her grabbing her arse. She chuckled back when she felt his erection. “I love you.” She was perfect for him.
YA lyublyu tebya,” she screamed all excited.  “Screw five star hotels! This is way more fun,” she screamed again. {I love you}
They both laughed. She was right. They had been in the best restaurants in London this past month but never had as much fun as tonight in this cheesy place dancing and drinking absinth. Sal’s words came back to torture him but he pushed them away. He would have to tell her the truth soon. He would keep her. The thought alone made him so happy. He didn’t notice a man entering the club until he was at the edge of the dance floor. “Vincent…”

"I'm keeping you Princess"

When I say I LOVED this book. I mean I LOVED this book!!! I fell in love with Polli while reading Bird Of Prey. There was a lot about Polli that was kept a secret in Bird Of Prey. There was a lot about Semya left out as well. Danielle did  a great job at keeping the mystery alive!!

Polliannah is adorable, loves to drink wine & she can dress. John's a hit man. His next mission is finding Polliannah's brothers. But, they're in hiding. The only way he can get to them is thru Polli. John starts following Polli & Selma. He learns their routine. When Selma starts working with the police on a case. (You read about that in Bird Of Prey) Being that Selma & her boyfriend are busy and Polli is alone more. This is John's chance. It's his chance to get close to her & even closer to his targets!

The minute John walks into Polli's wine store she wants him. Polli falls head over heals for John. Polli is also keeping John to herself. She knows if Selma & Josh meet him, they'll start asking too many questions & digging into his background. Polli doesn't want that. Not yet anyway.

After a couple of weeks of trying to find out anything about Polli's brothers, John keeps coming up to a dead end. Polli is really good at keeping her family life very private. You'll learn why. She has her reasons. Her & Selma are in deeper then we originally thought when reading Bird Of Prey. What  John does learn... That he's fallen heads over heals in love with Polliannah!! 

He needs to figure out how to keep her safe & alive!! I literally can not express to you how much I LOVED this story. It is the novella from Bird Of Prey. Which was cool because when I was reading it I always wondered what was going on with Polli & John. I also never could figure out how when Selma needed something Polli got it. She always seemed to have connections that were never explained. Then, there was always Hawaii that bugged me. But, Danielle gave us  more  pieces of the puzzle that we were missing. Which I am super happy about. I also loved watching John go from 'big bad hit man' to being a 'big bad hit man in love' and will do ANYTHING to keep Polli safe. No matter what!! This is a MUST-READ!!! I'm dying to see what Danielle has next!!!

"Whatever possesses me to be the way I am... being with you, keeps it away. I just want to be the man I see through your eyes."


"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.. You're kind, funny and sexy with a slight touch of madness."

"And you deserve so much better, Polli. I didn't know how unsatisfied I was with my life before I met you. You're my salvation...let me be the better man you're making me every time you look at me. I'll die before I let them hurt you in any way."
