The Son and His Hope by Pepper Winters + MY REVIEW!

TS&HH - BT banner.jpg
The Son and His Hope by Pepper Winters
Release Date: February 12th
ebook.jpg
The Son and His Hope, a sweeping standalone from New York Times Bestselling author Pepper Winters.
“Things you should know about me from the very beginning:
I was born to true love, witnessed the destruction it causes, and vowed never to let such agony happen to me. I am not a story-teller like my father. I am not a writer like my mother. I am just a son—their son.
I am happy being alone.
And that is all I ever want to be.”
JACOB
The day he was born, Jacob learned his hardest and longest lesson.
It wasn’t a lesson a boy should learn so young, but from his earliest memories he knew where happiness lives, so does tragedy. Where love exists, so does heartbreak. And where hope resides, so does sorrow.
That lesson carved him from the kid to the teen to the man.
And nothing and no one could change his mind.
HOPE
I first met him when he was fourteen at a movie premiere of all places. A movie based on his parent’s life.
He was stoic, strong, suspicious, and secretive.
I was only ten, but I felt something for him. A strange kind of sorrow that made me want to hug and heal him.
I was the daughter of the actor hired to play his father.
We shared similarities.
I recognised parts of him because they were parts of me.
But no matter how many times we met. No matter how many times I tried.
He stayed true to his vow to never fall.

My Review

The Son & His Hope (The Ribbon Duet)The Son & His Hope by Pepper Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"She was maddening and frightening and everything I'd always avoided. Yet having her in my arms, I was free."

I am an absolute mess after reading this book! It was such a beautiful yet heartbreaking read. Hope and Jacobs relationship will take you on the most exhausting and down right heartbreaking ride that you will ever willing go on. I don’t know how many times I literally wanted to just hold Hope and tell her that she was such a brave and beautiful person. She is truly an angel sent from heaven from Ren to his son. My heart completely broke for at 83% I cried so dang hard for her. Enough about that though. What truly made this book what it is was the writing! The writing was beyond amazing and beautiful! It was perfection!
This story was so emotional crippling it was truly hard for me to get thru. It will break you and build you back up to literally rip you apart again, but that is what makes this story so beautiful and utterly unforgettable! I will carry this series with me now and forever!

"Love can sometimes be the worst weapon."

"Because love....that was the most dangerous thing a person could do."

“He was the penny on the street you picked up for good luck. The four-leaf clover you tucked into the pages of a book for good fortune. The wish you made to the starry sky, believing there had to be more than this.”

“I’d asked Dad why he put up with abuse—because it was emotional and physical abuse. And he’d said it was our job to be the carers of those who carry the pain. Pain could manifest in many ways, and it wasn’t up to us to point out how hurtful and cruel such pain could be. We had to be brave and show the hurting that they could share their agony or deliver their agony. Either way, there would be no judgment or condemnation. Only love.”

“Because the world wouldn’t be the same without love. Humanity wouldn’t exist. The cycle of life wouldn’t exist. Nothing would exist.”

When Ashes Fall Cover.png

It’s been said that you can’t love two men at the same time.
You can’t split your heart, soul, and body in half.
But I’m here to tell you, you can.
Dylan Cole is like ice, sharp and unpredictable, the thunder inside a tumultuous storm.
Smith Reid is warmth, soft and gentle, perfect like a sunny day.
Both are mine.
But I can have only one.
There are two sides to this tale.
I'm here to tell you mine.
If you think this story is about a cheater, you couldn’t be more wrong.

My Review

When Ashes Fall

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Time would eventually tame her demons. They would still be there. They would be there for the rest of her life. But the fangs of those demons would dull, and so would its claws.”

My heart!!!! I am an absolute mess! I was crying so hard I had to stop reading because I was unable to see my kindle threw the tears! This book was an utter page turner that had me at the edge of my seat until the very last page. It was so hauntingly beautiful and poetic that I will never forget the impact this story left on me. Be prepared to be an emotional disaster while reading this book!
This book has set hell of a bar for 2019!

Quotes:
"The earth was tilting beneath me, and I couldn't find my balance. The air I was sucking in was becoming too thick."

"We all need a little hope and some people need the reminder that there will be more sunny days, especially me."

"I was in complete darkness. That was where I belonged. And that was where I stayed."

"Alix and I weren’t perfect. We had cracks. And, as the months passed, I learned some deepened while others got filled in."

"I couldn’t take the pain. It was stabbing through my chest. It was moving to my throat. It was so powerful; I wanted to gag."

"But we always hope for sunny days. Those are the easiest, the safest, the ones with the least amount of concerns."
