Summary
It’s the start of something huge. From New York Times best seller Pepper Winters comes a new dark romance full of decadent angst, monstrous heroes, and pages chock-full of lust.
A house hidden in the middle of nowhere. A man who’s lived alone for a decade. A woman who trespasses on his solitude. A love full of hate, as well as hunger. The thing about my life is...I was never in control of it. I just I thought I was. I thought I had everything figured out - a good career, fun hobbies, a bright future, but everything changed when I found an ivy-cloaked house, tucked in a forgotten valley, hiding a man who corrupted my world forever.I thought I was successful, until he showed me fortune and happiness could be snatched away in an instant. I believed I was blessed, but really, I was cursed. Cursed to become a plaything for a monster. Cursed to become a prisoner just because I trespassed.
Now, I know nothing. I am nothing. I’m just his.

Passionate Fairytale
This is the first part of three in the Fable Series. This dark and passionate fairytale is original, and interesting. Tor Thom and Charley Ongel did a great job with the narration.

Dark, gritty, feral and beautiful
It's dark and filled with horrors - and I loved it! That was my first thought after reading Fable of Happiness. If you like dark romance you will love this book. If you you like dark tragic tales of survival you will love this book. If you love stories of lonely broken people who find their missing pieces in each other, you will love this book. But if you are afraid of a darkness that is so primal, so feral, so primitive that it drives two people to fight, maim, copulate and kill just to survive, to protect and feel alive for the first time in their lives, than this book is not for you.
Pepper Winters has created one of the darkest stories she has ever written and one of the most enigmatic characters in Kassen. A man who has cut himself off from civilization and lives with a brutal past that still haunts him. He will do anything - kill anyone to survive and protect his home.
Gemma a thrill seeking mountaineer is trying to fill a void, an emptiness one adventure at a time. She sets out on another climb hoping to chase away her loneliness. When she gets lost on her journey and takes a wrong turn she encounters something far more dangerous than the rockiest of peaks - Kassen.
This book ends on a cliffhanger bigger than Mount Everest it's raw, gritty, violent and disturbing in a way my dark heart 🖤 craves. It has trigger warnings galore and it is not for the faint of heart. But it is lush, beautiful, sad, electric and it made my heart and pulse race with it's intensity. I can't recommend it enough to all of you brave souls that love to take a read on the dark sexy side. It will leave you breathless, shaken and wanting more.

Gripping with a whole lot of WTH
I am always a little torn reading books written by this author. Because they never EVER hold back and I forget sometimes that this is dark dark and then I'm hit with FOH and..yeah this is for sure a PW book. It's very insular, being that Gemma and Kasen are practically the only characters in the story and Kasen is certainly not the faint of heart. This won't be a book for everyone and I get that, but I found it difficult to put it down despite the less than savoury sections. This is the first in a trilogy so I'm expecting it to get darker before the light shines. Check for triggers warnings if you need them because this goes there. You've been warned. I volunteered to listen to a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Dark & Twisty
Story: 3 ⭐️
Steam: 5🔥 heavy smut - noncon/dubcon
Audio: 4 🎧
This book was okay. It started really strong for me but quickly felt a little boring. The dynamic between the leads was a little hard for me to believe. It was almost like instalove even though he’s tormenting her, which was a little confusing. Our male leads backstory is completely heartbreaking and I still have so many questions about his past. Our heroine doesn’t seem to have much to her so I’m interested in getting more from her as well.
I’m wondering what happens with the rest of the trilogy. I’m not totally convinced this needed to be a trilogy so we will see what else happens!
Audiobook Performance: I love the narration style, where the narrators are voicing the opposite gender even when it’s not their chapter to read. However I did feel like the narration took a little away from the story. I could never really tell how the female lead felt about the situations becomes the narration was almost always a seductive tone, even when the writing didn’t really seem to need that.
