Wow oh wow what a fab addition to this series. Jinx and sully have me swooning. Ahh i need more of this series

I'm still trying to get my bearings in order after reading this second installment of the series.

Sully and Eleanor will forever be engraved in me because the pull and push between them is just so addicting. I can't get enough of this series and the god and his goddesses.

Even though I was completely and utterly speechless with the first book and I can tell you that I'm even in a worse state now with this second book. Pepper Winters always has a way with her wording and the topic and the premise of her stories that will leave you completing wanting more and more each and every time.

We get a glimpse of what Sully really is or was in his past in this book and it explains in more detail why he is the way he is. Eleanor somehow has a connection with him that is beyond physical attraction. They share similar likes and dislikes and that scares Sully because he figures that will be his demise and there will be no way out for him when it comes to Eleanor a/k/a Jinx.

The ending tho....really with each book I'm going to die another death with the way these books end!

Pepper Winters has started a new series with so much angst that will leave you completely shattered!

⭐️ 5+ "Serigala" Stars ⭐️
The Goddess Isles Series started so strong with Once A Myth where I was easily immersed into this world of seductive fantasies. Twice A Wish conquered my heart even more and left me utterly speechless! I’m blown away by all the emotion this book delivered. I wanted to know more about Sully, this enigmatic man, and I was served with a heartbreaking story that showed that he’s so much more than meets the eye. With her poetic writing style that is just sublime, Pepper Winters assaulted with all the feels!

This phenomenal read made me cherish its complex protagonists so much more than I already did. Eleanor continues to show her awe-inspiring resilience, but still has conflicting thoughts about Sully. She doesn’t stop fighting her cruel fate even if her heart and body start to battle with her mind more and more! With her fearless attitude and tenacity, she becomes a true goddess! As much as she’s strong and brilliant, she has her moments of vulnerability. They only prove her genuineness and make me admire her.

While I’m fan-girling over Eleanor’s qualities, Sullivan as well is an impressive hero. I loved this intricate man and to finally discover a little about his childhood was bittersweet, but gave me answers about his severe behavior. He’s sweet and caring at times, which contrast a lot with his strong persona he shows everyone. Eleanor is the only one who seems to read him like a book and sees between his cracks which forge an even more potent connection between them.

The chemistry between this couple, which was already off the charts hot, increases again! Every single moments they share is charged with so much lust and ache. They want to resist this temptation, but the pull is just irresistible. The back and forth between Sully and Eleanor left me totally drained, but satisfied and hopeful.

I don’t know what to add about this story that I devoured? Every single facet of Twice A Wish was perfect! Pepper Winters created magic and I can’t get enough of this wanton, tropical universe! With that wicked and titillating ending, the wait for book three will be excruciating! I’m clearly happy that Third A Kiss releases next month, but I’ll be frantic for more! This read is without a doubt a top favorite for me this year!

** ARC received in exchange for an honest review **

If there was any doubt before, be assured that Pepper Winters is a master storyteller. Twice a Wish is the ultimate in continuations with Sully and Eleanor/Jinx and their inescapable attraction becoming even more intense. Picking up where we left off in Once a Myth, Eleanor/Jinx is cautiously aware that Sully is more than meets the eye and she carefully begins her quest to uncover the layers of his soul.

There is heat and sexual tension like only Winters can deliver, paired with the struggle from Eleanor/Jinx to try and escape Sully's supposed paradise. But the ongoing tether between their hearts that neither can deny nor sever may be either their ultimate downfall or savior depending on just how stubborn they remain.

There is plenty of mystery as Eleanor/Jinx learns more about her captor and decidedly pushes him to the brink, desperation he can't even fathom continually written all over Sully's face. The facade he so carefully has crafted is truly on the precipice as the usual jaw-dropping conclusion makes itself known.

In addition, I will say that Winters's love of animals is an extraordinary part of this story as Sully's distaste for humans is only magnified by his adoration of his furry and not so furry friends. With an interesting twist pertaining to Eleanor/Jinx and the scene-stealers in Pika and Skittles.

Twice a Wish is a book that deserves to be relished, each decadent word a gift to readers. Only Pepper Winters can combine cruelty with pleasure in the most exceptional of ways and with that in mind, I happily give this latest creation a huge 5++ stars!

Holy cow!!!! I dont know how pepper does it! This book topped the previous and I have a feeling the rest will too. Sully is now my favorite of hers and Jinx she is just the best leading lady. I never thought a series would top the indebted series in my heart but this series has. I cannot wait to finish it.

Twice a Wish by Pepper Winters encompassed so many intense experiences for me. It was blissfully hedonistic. It was a storm of conflicting and bruising emotions. The writing was pure torture as Pepper Winters assaulted all my senses expertly and with ruthless precision.


Sullivan Sinclair needs control in his life. Over his islands. Over his goddesses. Over his feelings. He runs a pleasure paradise in middle of tropical beauty but he was not prepared for Eleanor Grace. Bought and paid and put to other men's mercy. But a fierce and gorgeous and stubborn woman. Sully is not supposed to feel. But she is breaking him down. Eleanor is not supposed to feel attraction and warmth towards her master. But as time passes, she discover the truly inspiring man behind the monster mask. Before she can explore it, Sully has decided to cut her off his life. But how? Will Eleanor do something awfully stupid to provoke the beast?

Since this is a five book series, the author spends a great amount of time in exploring the darkest desires and most dangerous secrets of the characters. And I am absolutely stunned by the process. I am not sure she has not secretly passed some of Sully's Elixir in the pages. Because I am drunk on the feelings. This story is such a visual masterpiece. I am transported right into the sandy white beaches, blue ocean, green forest and luxurious villas. The push and pull between Sully and Eleanor is driving me insane. I want to hate Sully for the cruel and devastating and depraved things he is forcing Eleanor to do. But the Author is peeling his layers painstakingly and I am beyond fascinated by the man inside. This is a difficult balance to achieve and the author aced it. So I cry and break for the tormented soul of Sully. I am in awe of Eleanor. She is nothing less than a Goddess. She fights for her freedom and respect. She uses her power of beauty and sensuality. She breaks down but gets back her pieces. That ending was completely unexpected and I am still reeling from the shock! The chemistry is extremely erotic in true Pepper Winters style. The emotions are raw and filthy and gritty. The mind games were fantastic.


Pepper Winters took me to the edge of carnal love and heartbreaking hate in Twice A Wish. Her words were weapons against my heart. And I surrendered fully to the onslaught of seductive, dark and terrifying emotions. Not only a top 2020 read. But an all time favorite dark romance series that I cannot recommend enough.

Received ARC for honest review through Netgalley and The Next Step PR

Finally! I can recover from the cliffy from Once A Myth...and embark on the journey that Twice A Wish takes us on. And what a journey it is!

Ms. Winters continues the story of Eleanor (Jinx) and Sully in her own fashion...giving us highs, lows, moments of despair only to follow them with moments of amazed wonder.

Eleanor makes a new friend and learns more of Sully’s well hidden secrets, leaving her confused and intrigued. Sully, consumed by his interest in Eleanor, is torn on what to do with her. This leads us to a surprise ending for this book and waiting in suspense for the next book in the series.

High five!

She was the goddess bought to pawn and rent. He was the man who became fascinated by this rare goddess.

As her mind struggles to own her body Eleanor’s body continues to crave the desire given to her by elixir. She is the exception to Sully’s fantasy.
Transitioning simple sex into a wild unhinged creature her body became prisoner to its carnal wants.

Overall:
Imagine viagra for men and an aphrodisiac of sorts for women when combined creat a creature so full of want, need, and desire that the body rules out power over the mind and heart. Your mind is overruled by the need of your body thriving and thrashing for raw pleasure. That’s what Pepper delivered. This book takes the reader on the second leg of the journey regarding the power of this elixir and the man who owns its power on fantasy island.
I’m so glad Pepper gave us dual points of view. Had I just been left with Eleanor’s thoughts and feelings I would’ve felt betrayed by what was truly happening to her body. To know before Eleanor, that all is just a fantasy that she was forced into helped release some of the dangers associated with this type of situation.
Peppers words play tricks with the readers mind. It’s extremely thought provoking with that hunkering of self realization that the game is not only being played by the characters in the book but with you as the reader. We are a team, both figuring out this illusion. Pepper is the mastermind of trickery. She pours her thoughts into words creating a fantastical word of confusion and debauchery.
Pepper broke the typical rules about sex and substituted her own with raw, honest, sexual kink. She gave her readers a twisted non-traditional love. Underneath the surface was a breakthrough so unexpected.
The answer to that burning question: what or who is the once a Myth gets answered here.

Oh good grief...Pepper you have smashed it more than I thought possible!

Book 2 in the Goddess Isles series and somehow it was better than the first!!!!

I have so much to say about this book and series yet I'm lost for words!!...how?!?

This book had me fully captured from page 1, I physically couldn't put it down, I HAD to know what happened next, I lost my breathe a few times, I held it in others, I was blind with rage and my heart was torn to pieces at one stage! And of course I can't forget how freaking hot and flustered I got! So a word of warning...don't read in public!!!

So yeah, that's it! I'm off now to lie down in a dark room and try and recover and anxiously await book 3 which can't come quick enough!!!

Excellent!!



I voluntarily received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest review.

Book two delivers just like book one! Sully is still fighting his attraction to Eleanor. She is seeing more into who he is. Lots of twists and turns in the plot making this a can’t put down book! Lots of descriptive writing makes the reader feel like you are on the Island living this story with them. We are left on a great cliffhanger wondering what is going to happen when all control is lost.

Part of me wanted to speed through this story because I had to know what the story entailed. But then another part of me wanted to slowly savour each word. So I compromised and read sections at a time to enjoy the way the story wraps around me and pulls me into Sully's paradise.

Just like Eleanor, this story has me questioning everything. Was it him? Wasn't it? Does he care? Doesn't he? Reality and fantasy have blurred and I'm not quite sure what to believe. It's like the concept of scotoma: the mind see what it chooses to see. And Sully alludes to this when speaking with Eleanor. But she is still fierce and fiery and I love her tenacity.

Now Sully... who is he really? He is full of contradictions. He hates people but loves animals. He would go to the needs of the Earth for small creatures but uses people for money. I think this is why he is so torn with Eleanor because he changes his behaviour around her. We start to learn more about him and my heart cracked for him. I fell more in love with him and then he does something that makes me want to slap him!

Now the ending... I was not expecting it! I admire Eleanor's moxie but damn girl, not sure if that was a good idea! I am so glad that the books are being released every month. I don't know what I would do if I had to wait months and months! I can't wait to read more of Sully and Eleanor.

5/5 Stars
I think it’s worth mentioning that it is currently 1 am my whole family is asleep and I am silently screaming NO NO NO at my kindle because WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!??? I NEED THE NEXT BOOK!!!! I still love Eleanor! And I’m falling in love with Sully!!! Why does he have to be so stubborn about his feeling towards Eleanor??!! Honestly there were a couple of times I wanted to throw my kindle because 1)some of the scenes are 🔥🔥🔥 2) Sully’s stubbornness! But Eleanor is my queen and yes I still want to be her! Ahhh!!! I don’t think I can wait until the 3rd! I’ve said it once and I’ll say again Pepper Winters never disappoints!

Twice a Wish is the second book Goddess Isles series.Eleanor and Sully connection in the book is electrifying and their encounters are full of passion and desire. He fight his feelings for Eleanor.Sully is heartless and cruel.
The book is very captivating.Pepper Winters is Queen of dark romance.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Pepper Winters is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

This is the second book by Pepper Winter in the "Goddess Isles" series, it's a dark, erotic descriptive romance that you can't put down. Sully who is dark, tightly wound has secrets from his past that he wants left in the past, and has given up on humanity and living on Island. Sully purchased Eleanor to be one of the goddesses for his private island where he rents his goddesses out to millionaires for one night, to fill their greatest fantasy. Sully rules his island with a fair but firm no nonsense hand until he meets Eleanor and realizes they have a chemistry that can't be denied though both fight against it and claim to not want it. Eleanor constantly defies, pushes and challenges Sully, until he asks himself "who is this girl?". She is getting under his skin and is starting to unravel who he is and his secrets until he must make a decision to either keep her for himself or get rid of her. Eleanor realizes they have a connection and finds herself intrigued and falling for her captor, in trying to control the situation she finds herself in she makes a mistake that they both might regret and never come back from.. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions and leaves off on a cliffhanger that has you wanting for more.

This is some sort of torture. This author enjoys putting you through the ringer and dropping you off a cliff. I seriously had hope this would be the happing ending we want but then I realized there are more books and so I’m hanging in by a thread and praying that I don’t die from anticipation or from book hangover.
These characters are tortured by each other. Can I be with her, can I let her go. Does he have feeling for me, or can I walk away from him and recover what I’ve lost? So a compelling and gripping tale. I’m literally on the edge of my seat.

I never realized how truly disturbed I must be for loving every minute of this dark, dark story! Jinx struggles with her captivity, the things she is forced to do and the very unwanted feelings for her owner. She cannot stop standing up to him, pushing him, hoping he might just give in to it, that that might just make it more bearable. The deeper we travel into their story the more is revealed of Sullys past, what drives him and makes him who he is. She may challenge him at every turn, pushing him to the brink, but the monster she will be faced with when all pretenses are gone is one she may not be able to handle. I am utterly blown away by this story and cannot wait for more, like an addict, I need my next fix!

"I suffocated on her, and she suffocated on me. We tried to inhale, but all we could steal was each other."

Once a Myth was the match that started the fire, but Twice a Wish engulfed me in flames. Pepper Winters has never been an author that suffered from “sequel disease” where the second book just doesn’t quite live up to the first one. In my opinion, Winters just gets better and fucking better. Her writing is superb, beautiful, and the best drug out there (Sorry Sully).

"I wanted to snatch her, savage her. I wanted to rip her from the heavens and bring her firmly into my hell."

Eleanor is quickly becoming a favorite heroine of mine. She’s strong, is quick to call Sully out on his bullshit, and she seems like a pretty genuine person. I love getting to see her struggles and how she is processing everything that is happening to her. That makes it super easy for me to connect with and empathize with her.

And Sully...Oh my sweet broken, animal loving Sully. He. Melts. Me. I’m sorry but any man that has that kind of compassion towards animals, I cannot help but love him. The backstory and more info we receive in this book is just what I needed to fall over the line and into completely obsessed territory. My soul is completely shattered for him, and I just want him to come to terms that it is ok to be loved and to love.

“If you were an animal, then you’d be the most dangerous of them all. You would have the power to shred me limb from limb. Your claws would kill me. Your teeth devour me. If you were an animal, Goddess Jinx, then I would have to fucking bow to you.”


The passion and chemistry between these two is some of the hottest stuff I’ve ever read. There is so much fighting and angst, until they both snap....and when they snap I can feel it in my veins. They are a high I can’t get enough of.

If you loved book one, preorder this and do it now! You absolutely do not want to miss Twice a Wish!

Overall rating: 5 stars
Steaminess rating: 4.5 stars

I was given this ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I'm speechless. WTF is Pepper doing to us readers?!!! Seriously-- my mouth is agape, my face flush and wanting more more more of this incredible series.

I've loved Pepper's series/books before but I'm seriously loving these Goddess Isles characters so much! They are electrifying, spell binding, shocking, sweet and full of mystery.

Twice a Wish is woah- how can I explain it? It leaves off where book 1 ends and it is thrilling, erotic as hell, page turning and left me completely obsessed until I got to the very end.

We see Sully- and learn a bit more about him and his confusion on his newest Goddess. Which is unusual for him/ watching him feel conflicted/confused- is a joy to see- Not to mention-- can he keep her with she's such a threat to him?

There's Eleanor (Jinx) Wow. Let me say- without a doubt she's my hero. She's kick ass. Found herself while she puts one step forward, one step back when it comes to Sully.
Their banter- back and forth keeps you glued to the pages!

The island is truly magical. The characters are unbelievable, intoxicate you- and leave you breathless until the very last page.

If you're a fan of Pepper's you will love this series.
If you're a fan of dark reads.... this series is for you!
I can't wait for book 3. I'm so drunk on this series..... and am blown away with Pepper's flawless writing and her new characters for us to fall for.

5 parrot stars from me.
*Recv'd an ARC in exchange for an honest review*

Eleanor (Jinx) is reeling from the reality of her what her life will be on this Island. Sully, she hates him, she loathes him, he’s a monster who purchased her and has altered her life forever. So why does her body betray her, each and every time he’s in the vicinity. Their chemistry was combustible in the first book, and now it is erupting and i am pretty sure i’m scorched with the heat !!

Ok so no spoilers here... because this book is beyond a simple reading experience!!
Deep Breath- Deep Breath... I kid you not this book has me quite literally in a panic, in Lust and my emotions scattered and strewn into the wind !! Complex Characters, that only this authors brilliance brings to life, and leaves us knowing we have read something that will stay with us forever.

Happiness - Hell yeah !!! I love these characters and every little quirky thing about them and their turmoil !

Tears, pain and Hurt - Oh yeah, The situation and every little twist and insight into their characters leaves me baying for more!

Anger - OMG yes, i absolutely wants so badly at times to slap Sully, He’s a man on edge and his aura of danger is real yet adds to his attraction, Damned Man !!!

Fear - For sure, I fear not only how this story will develop but also how deeply this author can draw me into this virtual world and weave my emotional state into every page that i don’t want to leave or to end

Lust - YES YES YES !!! Even in reality you know you would run a mile, Pepper Winters throws us into a world of Dirty Dark Delicious Guilty Pleasures and Secrets that leave you wanting to yell them from the roof tops.

There is only one cure for the effect a Pepper Winters book has on your heart and emotions... and thats to read more !!!!!!!!

WOW! I wanted to write my review while I am still processing everything. The downside to this, is my mind is still spinning. Dang, that was a frustrating (in a good way) ride. I just don’t fully know what to think or expect in the next books.

Twice a Wish is an extremely angsty slow burn that might kill me… The chemistry between Jinx and Sully is off the charts and my favorite parts of the book are when they are together. The push and pull keeps you turning the pages. They are the perfect storm and I can’t wait to see what Pepper has in store for us next. My only request is, please gentle.

A girl.
A goddess standing in the middle of helipad.
Bold and brave, hair whipping like medusa’s snakes, her power over me crackling like lightning, singeing with fire, pulling me down towards her.

Twice a Wish is dark, powerfully raw and packed with emotions. Jinx is sure living up to her name in this book. She has thrown Sully’s world into chaos, causing him to do things that he previously wouldn’t have done.

She’d walked to me.
But now?
Now, I walked to her.

Sully… I say that with hearts in my eyes because, I love him. Plain and simple. He’s complex let simple, a mystery just waiting to be unraveled. Yet, beneath it all is a heart, a huge heart just waiting for the right one.

I couldn’t help it.
I fell.
I tumbled.
I wanted.

The writing is flawless, the characters are AMAZING. Ms. Winters keeps us guessing through the whole book regarding what happened at the end of Once a Myth. I feel like I have emotional whiplash because I kept going back and forth on who I felt was in euphoria. GAH, I’m still not 100% sure either.

The ending of Twice a Wish I need more time to fully process. My jaw hit the floor a few times during that chapter... I mean, it is still on the floor too because I need book 3!!! ASAP

This series is a MUST READ!! Misery loves company and all that jazz. LOL.

Read it!!
