5 *Perfect Ending* Stars

Bravo! I loved the Indebted Series, every single book, but it was time for it to end. To go out "on top". I was ready, and so were Jethro and Nila. The only thing left to do is read the Indebted Epilogue, to find out how Jethro and Nila move on. I *am* anxious to read their (hopefully) "happily ever after". And did I just see somewhere that there is going to be a prequel? Indebted Beginnings Oh hell yeah! Bring it on!

From the very first book I was hooked, and I can't even begin to decide which book in this series was my favorite. Possibly the Second Debt... perhaps it was this one seeing Nila and Jethro grow as people, one getting stronger, one finally allowing a bit of vulnerability. Both showing both of those traits at different times.

Bonnie and Cut and Daniel.. Oh my! Oh how I despised these crazy fucked up characters through this whole series. They're all just plain crazy! So many times I wanted to wrap my fingers around their windpipes and pull. They are all necessary evils, and without them, there would be no story. But, damn... they're all so twisted!

But this book also showed the human side of these characters that I had come to believe were less than capable of anything but cruelty. So many things were finalized, answered, wrapped up. So much redemption, forgiveness, and answers are found in this book, and all were done very well. And a lot of history was shared.

I love dark reads.. dark non-con filled with all sorts of taboo, and this saga hit every love, and took me places that my mind would have never thought possible.

This book also had some unexpected POVs that were very welcome. Some were tear worthy. But all were fitting for this book. There were a couple times I was ready for this book to move along, but for the most part, I really wouldn't change a thing.

The transformations in the main characters in this saga were always ongoing.

Enemies Unknown
Hawk and Weaver
Kite and Needle
Jethro and Nila
Friends and lovers

And finally...

Soulmates.

Soul shredding, heart wrenching, and beautiful. This series will go down as *the* top series for me. My very favorite. Well done, Pepper Winters!

But wait! That's not all! Lets not forget Nila's core in this review (as I've made mention of in my other reviews of this series!) Just a little fun. It didn't go unnoticed that Pepper toned down Nila's clenching core in this book! Which I was *really* happy to see. I really worried about all the things that her core was doing, that it was going to wear itself out! But in this final book, her core only clenched once, Jethro pulled on that invisible cord, (that was new), between Nila's breast and core causing her womb to clench and wetness to weep, her core grew wet, and then finally... finally her core "detonated"! Such a fitting finalé for Nila's over active core!

Review: Third Debt (Indebted Book 4) by Pepper Winters

Third Debt by Pepper Winters

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Writing: ★★★★
Story: ★★★★★

Overall rating: 4.6

5 *Heart Stopping* Stars

"She healed me. She broke me. I set her free. But we are in this together. We will end this together. The rules of this ancient game can’t be broken.”


Third Debt starts off with Nila back home with her family, but she's missing Jethro and has decided that she can't live without him. She knows she can help him, she knows she can get him to choose her. But before she has the chance to run back to him, he comes for her, and much like the first time, not all is what it seems to the prying eyes of the public or her family.

However, the Jethro that comes to claim her to take her back to Hawksridge is only bringing her back with one goal in mind. The Third Debt. He is much like the Jethro she first met in Milan. Distant and cruel and as cold as the bottom of an iceberg in the Arctic.

Jethro has put the ice walls back up around his heart, thanks to a new and powerful drug that has proven quite well in helping his "condition". He feels nothing, he doesn't care about anything or anyone, doesn't even take his precious Wing out for riding or playing Polo anymore. He doesn't have time for all of that. He's fully ensconced in the business now, and has no need for anything, especially the "Weaver Whore". He wants the Debts done so he can move on to his 30th birthday and inherit it all.

Having Nila back, along with his new miracle drug, it should be easy to ignore her except only when necessary. But, this is Nila and Jethro, and it becomes a matter of who is really going to save who.

The sex between Jethro and Nila is beyond hot and only gets hotter! Ms. Winters knows how to build sex into a story without letting it take over and *become* the story. It's well placed and well timed. Not an easy thing to do in this genre.

There is a lot that goes on in this book, lots of dark and twisty turns. My heart started with a little crack throughout the last 3 books in this series to finally shatter to pieces by the end of this one.

Oh we can't forget about Nila's "core", now can we?! As with my last couple of reviews with this series, I've shown how talented her "core" is.. this review will be no exception! Although her "core" wasn't as busy this time around, but it did do some neat tricks!

Lets see her core clenched while feeding off of his power, her skin hummed and prickled, her blood raced, her lips melted and... her core clenched each and every time. Her core clenched from his words, his power, it got wet from sheer deliciousness, and it clenched from the longing on Jethro's face. And when her core clenched, sparkes detonated in her blood! Damn!

Her core burned, prickling sensitivity darted and centered in her core, motorcycle regalia did terrible things to her core, and a blistering wave of need spread from her core.

Her core contracted again and again, with heaven shooting through her system. Heaven I tell you!

And finally her core exposed itself. Shameless, slutty little core!

Oh and lets not forget she also has talented nipples. They harden into rocks, they pebble, and peak.

They're dark, they get teased, tweaked, tugged, they freeze, and they throb with the swift burn of intoxicating pain.

It's going to be a looooong wait for August! Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long after that for the final installment. I'm looking forward to every core clenching, nipple hardening, dark, mind fucking page of it too!

**Don't take my bashing of Nila's core, or her nipples, to heart, (I hear she secretly likes it!), because I love this series and looking forward to more of Nila, Jethro, Kestrel, Jaz, Vaughn, both daddys and even Daniel the most screwed up little brother in history... oh and yes, even Nila's core!

Second Debt by Pepper Winters

5 *OMG! I Can't Breathe* Stars

Nila. She loves Jethro. It's as simple and as totally messed up as that. She wants to hate him, she wants to kill him right along with the rest of his family. But she sees something redeemable and vulnerable beneath the ice cold exterior that he puts on day after day. She sees it melt when he takes her body. Or is she imagining it. How can she love this ice cold prince of darkness that has stolen not only the only life she ever knew, but also her heart.

But she knows the real Jethro is there, under all the secrets and ice. She knows he feels something for her. It may not be the love she hopes for but she's willing to do anything to help him, and to prove to him that he can trust her, and to show him that she loves him.

Jethro. This man is twisted up. Family one one side, Nila on the other. Choosing his family means he'll inherit everything, and perhaps get to keep Nila, and put an end to the Debts altogether. If he chooses Nila he loses everything, money, family, and Nila, because his family will call the debts due and Jethro will have no choice.

When Jethro tells Nila they are well and truly fucked, he means it. There is no way out.

All the while, Vaughn is working in the background. Will it work in time? Can he free his twin, or will all his work to save her only make it worse on her.

The Second Debt is coming and there is no way to stop it. The only hope is to go through with it. There is no choice. Neither Jethro or Nila can stop the Second Debt. It's been this way for 600 years. It's horrific and it'll take your breath away, literally.

Can Nila survive it? Can Jethro? Will it destroy the love Nila has found in her heart for Jethro? So many questions, and the only way to find out is to open this book start the march toward the Second Debt.

I'd advise you to have an oxygen mask handy, because the Second Debt will truly and completely take your breath away, in a hundred different ways.

Again, this book is rated a 4.6 but rounded up to 5 Star.

Lets see, this time Nila's core didn't play as much of a significant role as it did in my review of First Debt, but it did get a work out.

Sound echoed and shot straight to her core. It clenched, twisted with desire, had spasms of desire, and just flat out spasmed while greedily latching on to words, it contracted, sucked, and melted. Talented core!

There was more clenching, and nasty fingers probing it, and mouths close to it.

Her talented nipples even joined in as they sent even more clenching signals to her core. Her core was full of furious desire, and things gushed and pushed into her core.

Maybe not as much of a significant role, but it did stay on stage! Will Nila survive long enough to face the Third Debt? Will her core? Stay tuned!

**Don't take my bashing of Nila's core to heart, I love the series and looking forward to more of Nila, Jethro, Kestrel, Jaz, Vaughn, both daddys and even Daniel the most screwed up little brother in history... oh and yes, even Nila's core!

5 *Mind-Has-Been-Fucked* Stars

Pepper Winters... what a tangled web you've woven for us!

Jethro and Nila. They have feelings for each other, but the problem is, those feelings, on the surface, change moment by moment, and under these circumstances, feelings of *any* kind, are dangerous. To them both.

Nila wants to hate Jethro. Jethro is suppose to hate Nila. They fight, ohhh how they fight, and let me tell you, no one writes "angry sex" like Ms. Winters!

Nila fights the feelings she has for Jethro. Everytime he shows her just a little bit of humanity, he snatches it back, becoming the epitome of an ice king. He slips into that role so well. But Nila sees the cracks and the fissures, and no matter how much she wants, and needs, to hate him for what he's doing to her, it's the light that shows through those fissures that she is slowly but surely falling for. She knows there is goodness in him, wrapped up in a dark, black, coldness. Her mission, is to find a way into his soul... and use it against him, before the price of the final debt becomes due and payable.

Her mind tells her one thing, but her heart and soul tell her something completely different. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately for Nila, Jethro is having the same problem, the same thoughts. It's just not easy for him to show her. Worse than that, it's dangerous for him to show her.

In this book, we experience the "First Debt"... time for repayment. I know it was suppose to be harsh and cruel, but I confess that, for me, it was H. O. T. HOT

The one thing that Nila wants from Jethro, because she knows it's a way in to his frozen heart, is a kiss. She demands it, cries for it, begs for it. She knows, of all the things they could, and would do, it was the most intimate.

Kiss me. Kiss me. Kiss. Me.

Vows are made, vows are broken, along with the shattering of hearts. The First Debt is even better than Debt Inheritance, which I also enjoyed.

My only complaint, and it's not really even that, about this series is the overuse of the word "core".

Nila's core is throbbing, fluttering, shuddering, cramping, clenching, trembling from abuse, and flickering with desire.

It's twisted with wetness, builds with wetness, and grows with wetness..

It's warm, sparking, had fire-bolts hurled at it, and had intense heat billowing from it. Is her core a tiny pyromaniac? Maybe all the wetness it experiences could help out in that area?

She had fingers probing it, jerked from it, brushing it, tugging it, exposing it, and spread like a tentative sunrise.

It's experienced melting, glowing, shivering, and it ripples.. a lot. Not to mention the invisible cords that seem to be attached to her core from her nipples.

And her core is insatiable. Well, you don't say!

That was just a little fun I wanted to have from first two books.. I'm sure there'll be more core rippling and throbbing moments for Nila in the next four books! If she keeps this up, she's going to have to have "core-o-plasty" by the end of it!

I'm totally twisted up in this series, absolutely loving it! I read the first two books in one day and I can't wait to see what'll happen next.. what will the Second Debt be? Which Debt will be the "Final Debt"? Will Nila's core continue to play a starring role? ;)

Oh. My. God. This book.

I have to admit, that I read one of Pepper Winters' other books and I wasn't really a fan, and I had put off reading this book/series, but after it being recommended to me numerous times, and friends on my group reading it and raving about it, I was feeling a bit left out! LOL So I decided to at least read this first book of the series.

And I couldn't be happier that I did!

"The time is nigh to pay your debts. Your past has found you, and there be no peace until she's ours."

The words spoken to a father by a man he hoped against hope would never come.

Jethro is there to collect the girl. The Weaver girl. The only girl who can pay the debt. Nila.

Jethro is the first born Hawk son, Nila the first born Weaver daughter. She belongs to him now. The debt has come due and payable. Again. Just as it's been done for the last 600 years.

Nila doesn't know what coming. But her father does, and there's nothing he can do to save his only daughter.

This book left me breathless. The emotions, the feelings of helplessness as I watched this story unfold.

Ms. Winters has totally gained a new fan! Thanks to all my friends that talked me into this book/series. I'm hooked!!
