Synopsis: 

I made the worst mistake of my life when I was twenty-two.

I let love and fear destroy everything I ever wanted, and now I have a choice to make.

Run and hide, or stay and face the consequences.

I'd always known I wasn't allowed to love her.

I'd always accepted that I wasn't allowed to keep her.

But that didn't stop me.

I broke every rule and choked on every secret to have her.

The only problem is, those secrets aren't just hunting me anymore, they've found me.

I can't run.

I can't hide.

For a moment, I had it all. I had all my dreams and the girl I would kill for.

But now, I have to pay the price.

I have to pay...

And I won't survive.

A true coming-of-age story that spans a lifetime. This book deals with heavy subjects and is advised you check the Content Warnings on the Author's website.

SPOILER-FREE REVIEW: 

Cor Amare by Pepper Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading Cor Amare (Luna Duet # 2), I have one question:  Pepper Winters, what did you do to my heart? I have been sitting here for a few weeks agonizing over writing my review, thinking about how I can do it justice when I'm still grappling with an emotional book hangover? Cor Amare was breathtaking. I'm lost in a sea of emotions after reading the conclusion of Aslan and Neri's dark and beautiful journey. Pepper's writing is nothing short of extraordinary, and I'm in awe of her skillful storytelling. The elegance of her prose and the finesse with which she weaves intricate emotions into the narrative deserve nothing less than a chef's kiss of admiration. Breathtaking, haunting, and profound, Cor Amare and Lunamare are on my Best of 2023 list.

BLURB:

From the author of Warrior Blue comes an emotional, gritty story about redemption, love, and an antihero with a desperation to achieve his lifelong dream - to be a good man.

Are you ready for redemption?

My name is Soldier, but I was never meant to be a hero.

From the moment I was born, I was looked at as a beacon of hope, a guiding light—a savior. But that type of pressure can drive a man to desperation, to do things he shouldn’t, and in my case, that’s exactly what happened.

All I ever wanted to be was a good person, someone my grandparents could be proud of, but for a long time, I couldn’t find the strength to be proud of myself.

I paid the price.

I did my time.

Yet ... somehow, I got lucky.

I was given a second chance to do better, to be the man I always believed I could be. And after finding the love I never knew I deserved, I’m starting to wonder if there’s still room for me to be a hero after all ...

Someday by Willow Aster is now live!  From childhood best friends to high school sweethearts…to a relationship so broken it seems impossible to fix… Check out my spoiler-free review below and read this book for free using Kindle Unlimited! 

I’ve loved Sofie Copewell for as long as I can remember.

She was all I ever wanted.

We said someday we’d have a family together and raise them on our ranch in Landmark Mountain.

She was my home. My forever.

I spent my whole life chasing her, hanging on her every word, and lighting up when she smiled at me.

And I never had a single doubt that she felt the same way.

Until she left and didn’t come back…

For eight years.

Now she’s returned, and I’m resentful and want answers.

Answers to why she left without a goodbye, taking all our dreams with her.

But as angry as I am and as much as I fight it, the electricity between us is still as strong as it was before.

And when I get the answers I’m looking for, I realize that she never stopped loving me either.

I want to believe our someday is now, but can I trust her not to leave again?

Someday is book two in the Landmark Mountain series, but each book can be read as a standalone.

The content warnings for Someday are the discussion of child and domestic abuse, and the death of a parent.

Blurb:

I’m the privileged youngest child of the famous McKallister family. He’s a runaway foster kid living rough. We were never meant to meet. This is where our story begins. It’s nowhere near how it ends.

Grace

The beat. The cheers. The thrill of the unknown. I shouldn’t leave the safety of the music arena—my last name is McKallister, after all, and I’m intimately familiar with worst-case scenarios. But I’m drawn by the talent and the turmoil behind the weary eyes of the drummer on the streets. I’ve never seen anyone my age as wild and unrestrained, a lightning bolt of electricity that never hits the same spot on his bucket drums twice. He plays with such confidence, such rage. I have to know who he is and where he learned to bang out drum solos like he owns the night.

I want to help him. No, to save him. If only Rory will let me.

Rory

When I play, I’m in my element. I know how to draw a crowd and how to keep them riveted. For a small period of time every day, I’m special. Talented. Going somewhere. Little do they know I’m going back to nothing: no family, no friends, no roof over my head. When the music ends, I fade into the background like the undesirable I am. And then she shows up, so pretty and polished and pure. I don’t expect her to stay and talk. I definitely don’t expect her to sit down on the sidewalk and drum a song onto my thigh. Yet here she is—anyone’s ultimate dream girl—promising to save me.

Too bad Grace stumbled upon me a decade too late.

SPOILER-FREE REVIEW: 

Lunamare by Pepper Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Luna Mare (The Luna Duet #1) by Pepper Winters is one of my top reads of 2023. I'm lost in a sea of the feels after reading this book. I finished Luna Mare a few weeks ago and can't stop thinking about Aslan and Nerida. This coming-of-age, forbidden romance is both breathtaking and unputdownable. Pepper pulled on my heartstrings and still has them in her grip with that cliffhanger ending. The ending hit me like a rogue wave, and I can't come up for air until I read Cor Amare (The Luna Duet #2) when it releases on July 25th. Please go into this book blind and experience this heart-wrenching story without anyone spoiling it for you. If you read The Ribbon Duet by Pepper, you will undoubtedly devour this new duet. June 27th release.
