5 x USA TODAY BESTSELLING DARK ROMANCE SERIES!

From New York Times bestseller, Pepper Winters, comes a new Dark Romance Series, Goddess Isles.
For those who loved Monsters in the Dark, Indebted, and Dollar Series, you'll LOVE this one!

“There was a boy once. A boy who wasn’t strong enough to save me when I was taken.”
There was a girl once. A girl called Tess Snow who sat with me in the dark, waiting to be sold.
There was an owner once. An owner who bought me, entrapped me, and made me his unwilling goddess.”

Eleanor Grace is a naïve dreamer. Trusting and young, she believes her travel-loving boyfriend can save her when her freedom is snatched and sold. Squirrelled away to an island at dawn, delivered to a man even darkness won’t touch, she’s bound by a contract.

Sullivan Sinclair is the giver of fantasies. Any wish, any desire—he is the master at quenching any appetite. His private paradise and perfectly trained goddesses are there for one purpose: to ensure every guest is extremely well satisfied.

He bought her.
He trapped her.
She belongs to him.

Once A Myth needs to be on your e-reader, in your hands, and being read as soon as it is LIVE. As a dark romance lover, I highly recommend it! Chris

I believe one of the best series of a dark and twisted tale of 2020. And yes, I'm predicting that after just reading book 1. Sassy Southern

I’ve loved Pepper’s work since Monsters in the dark and all the in between work and let me tell you this is one of the best work she’s ever done. Dangerously in love with books

WOW!!!

This author is a creative genius. The detail and imagination in the stories she weaves never fails to astound me.
Once A Myth is no different. She reeled me in hook, line and sinker from the very start and even after I finished I'm still dangling on that hook.

By the time Eleanor Grace reaches the shores of the Goddess Isles she is a torpedo waiting to find it's target. She held her counsel with those who stole her, but there is just something about Sullivan Sinclair that pushes the detonate button for her.
She is way more than Sullivan "Sully" Sinclair imagined when he made his wish list for his latest Goddess. In looks she is the epitome of the perfect woman. That is til she opens her mouth. She's sassy to a fault, gives as good as she gets and gets under his skin without even trying.

These 2 awesome characters put me in mind of a volcano, slowly rumbling away but you can just see the eruption is going to happen and when it does those close by better run for cover. The mutual attraction and sexual tension will melt your kindle and leave you needing an ice bath.

We know this is just the start of the series so of course as this author loves to do she will leave you dangling over the Grand Canyon by your fingernails at the end, but we will all wait with baited breath for the answers the that WTF moment. Bring on book 2, I'm so ready.

I'm a Pepper fan and always will be. Her story's will either shock or shatter you (perhaps both) but one things for sure, you won't forget them... and this series is no exception!

I hate cliffhangers so i had to wait for the series but it's all good now. These are looking books with complex characters and a storyline that gets more intriguing by the minute.
I've noticed a lot of negative reviews because of Sully and what goes down on his island. What the heck do readers expect, hello Pepper Winters is renowned for this type of dark content... find another genre if you can't handle it!!!

I've read the first 4 books in this series and am once again blown away by this authors ability to capture her audience!
Give it a go, you won't be disappointed 😍

Pepper Delivers Again!

Reviewed in Australia on 17 April 2020

Pepper Winters delivers another dark and passionate read set in paradise. The scene is well and truly set for a twisted intensity between two strong willed characters on Once a Myth. Sully is the perfect controlled alpha who runs is empire as a God, yet Eleanor challenges his rule with her own Goddess divinity and intensity.
This book is perfect for those who like their hero’s dark and their lust strong, not for the faint of heart or those seeking a rainbows and unicorns romance.

Sounds like Jeffrey Epstein island.

Reviewed in Australia on 27 July 2020

From reading the blurb of the book all I can think of is Jeffrey Epstein and his Caribbean Island of underaged girls.

Trafficked girls on an exotic island.

I like a dark romance and this might be a great book but.... given the subject matter I can’t bring myself to buy it.

The three stars are for neutrality

Wow, i just love the flawed logic that is written these pages within the first few chapters in a twisted way Sully makes so much sense I just couldn't argue with him and Elanor is just fire pure spirit, im not ashamed to admit I wanna take a trip to this paradise, so sign me up for a holiday.

Pepper is one of the few authors who can make me fall in love with its protagonists with a phrase and the next one break my heart. He has stories so crude not suitable for everyone that make me feel love and hate with his writing, it was no exception. Again he managed to surprise me and catch me with this book. The narration and the characters as always are unique. ⁣ The story is set in a set of islands and the way the author describes them transports you there. You will live moments of anguish, fear and despair with its protagonist Eleanor, but you will also undoubtedly suffer for the strangers of Sullivan. ⁣ ⁣ I invite you to enter this island full of goddesses where rich men go to fulfill their darkest wishes, but finally the woman who could destroy the world that Sullivan has created has arrived.⁣

Dark romance at its best!

Wow! What a way to start a series. Once A Myth is the first book in Peppers new series Goddess Isles.
This story is dark, unique, erotic, and captivating. Eleanor was snatched while on vacation with her boyfriend. She is then sold to Sullivan Sinclair to work on his private island. Sully deals in making fantasy and myth a reality. Both characters are strong willed, stubborn, and hot headed. They want to hate each other but have an unexplainable pull that tethers them together. Peeper does an amazing job creating a world of pleasure, fantasy, and myth that sucks you in and won’t let you go. Sullivan Sinclair has become my favourite alpha male to date. Trust me when I say your going to love and hate him in equal measures. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves dark romance.

Well written sad trash

Reviewed in France on 28 March 2021

Morally bankrupt concept. Guy is a pimp, woman biggest sucker. Unless a seriously out there twist comes up in one of the next 5 instalments there is zero chance of this progressing from a hyped up sci fi porn version of a rape scenario to anything that can justify this drivel. Girlis the world over are raised on beauty and the beast fables, but authors really should respect that they grow up to become discerning women worthy of better titilation than a scenario that condones rape and human trafficking.

Once a Myth
By: Pepper Winters
Narrated by: Sarah Puckett, Scott Rider

Wow, this book blew me away. Pepper Winters is a phenomenal writer of dark romance, her stories are captivating and addictive, you get so engrossed in it that nothing else matters except what is going to happen next in her book. Oh and what a dark and twisted world she brings you into, one that may be out of your comfort zone but you just can’t help yourself but to continue reading or listening. Eleanor Grace, a young lady enjoying life back packing around the world until to have the world come crumbling down on her. One minute she is in the kitchen of the hostel she is staying in with her boyfriend, the next she is being held prisoner with several other girls. But she is not like the other girls she stands up for herself, keeps her head high and waits for the right time to fight for her freedom. But that chance did not come, she finds herself sold and sent to a tropical island. Sullivan Sinclair, the mastermind, the creator of paradise for those who could afford it, a place where all fantasies are fulfilled. He thinks he is God, he is manipulative and controlling, he turned his captives to willing Goddesses to serve those who could afford it. He may have a brilliant mind, a dark and twisted one, but he sure has met his match in his newest captive, Eleanor Grace. He named her Jinx because she is getting under his skin and becoming his biggest temptation. He holds back afraid to give in, afraid of letting that side out. I loved how everything plays out in this book, it is intense at times and there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, angst, thrilling suspense and an inner battle of feelings that neither one wants or will admit. Winter Peppers, thank you for this fantastic story, I am looking forward to next book in the series “Twice a Wish”.

I listened to the Audible edition, Sarah Puckett and Scott Rider are awesome narrators and voice artists. They bring these characters to life, giving each their own voice and personality. They did an amazing job portraying the characters, humanizing them, capturing their emotions and projecting them into their performance. Sarah grasped Eleanor’s strength, Scott’s Sully Sinclair was spot on too. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this fantastic listen🎧

Thank you 🎧@AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsessionReviewer🎧
