Goddess Isles #4
Fourth a Lie
“There was a truth once. Truth we shared in the dark and scribed scars upon our hearts.
There was a lie once. A lie that shattered our hard-earned truth apart.”
Eleanor Grace did the unbelievable. She fell for a man who trades in women, dabbles in myth, and has the morals of a cold-hearted beast. However, love isn’t enough where past sins are concerned, and only pain can follow.
Sully Sinclair did the impossible. He gave his trust to a goddess who has the ultimate power to break him. Unfortunately, paradise is just an illusion, his islands aren’t impenetrable, and now he has to pay the price.
A fledgling connection.
A war they can’t stop.
A future that doesn’t bow to fate.

By the time everything seems to finally work out between Eleanor and Sully, his older brother comes to mess things up. 💥
Sully is not a good guy, but Drake...? Damn, even the devil himself thinks "Well, he's gone too far, someone should stop this sick sonovabitch!" 😂😈
It seems that paradise is just an illusion, Sully's islands aren’t impenetrable... and now they both going to pay the price. 💣
📚 “𝒀𝒐𝒖’𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝑰 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒅. 𝒀𝒐𝒖’𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒊𝒎, 𝑬𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒓 𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆... 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒎𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏’𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒐 𝒊𝒕.” 📚
I so want to share everything I've felt while reading this book, but I can't say anything about the plot without ruining it for you (and believe me, you don't want me to ruin it! 😉)... So until you read it yourself and understand exactly what I meant, I'll leave you with:
𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗬 𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗧... 𝗪𝗧𝗙?!
𝗣𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿, 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗨𝗖𝗞!?!?!? 😱😱😱
Like the other books in the series, the fourth book was a wonderful escape into a magical, twisted, dark world that I didn't want to leave. 🙏💚
I liked the characters - but I also hated them... I understood their choices - but I also wanted to choke them because of the consequences... I liked the tension - but I almost got a heart attack from the anxiety... I LOVED the ending - but also wanted to protest outside of Pepper's house because of the waiting for the next (and LAST) book! 😭❤
📚 “𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰’𝒗𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒆. 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒊𝒕. 𝑰 𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒕... 𝑰 𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖.” 📚
But what I liked most, was Pepper's poetic writing - as always, her words made me sink in my chair and ignore the whole world - until the last word. 👑
I mean, just read this dedication: 😭💚
"𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍-𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒃𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉 𝒇𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒘."
There were parts that reminded me of the "Indebted" series - like their urge to have sex at super dangerous times... It brought me back to the days when I grabbed my hair and screamed out loud at Nila and Jethro: "𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄?! 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗥𝗨𝗡!" 😂😂😂
And the end? It was twisted, like a slap to the face that left me curious to know how it would all end... So sit back and enjoy the ride, its going to be bumpy! 💚💣

MY REVIEW AND OTHERS: can also be found on my blog:
➽ KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS
'FOURTH IS A LIE' is the fourth, full length, romance book in Pepper Winter's 'Goddess Isles' series. It picks up where the third book left off. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.' This is the continuation of Sully's and Eleanor's story.
Hand on heart this series/this book is utter perfection. The Goddess Isles series is my favourite series of 2020. Get ready to fall in love even more..
Nothing prepared my heart for this book. God it wrecked me, destroyed me, gutted me, killed me as they fell into one situation after another my heart rate spiked up begging them to some how escape what landed on their doorstep.

Two brothers as different as chalk and cheese, one made Eleanor come alive with just one look, the other made her want to die. Brother pitted against brother.
Sullivan ‘Sully’ Sinclair this man slayed my heart, his protectiveness knew no bounds when his goddess Eleanor was under threat. My heart was ready to burst.
Because Eleanor had fast become Sully's weakness, his soul mate in every way that counted, he had to push her away from him, to make her leave his paradise, all in the name of saving her.
This book had it all!! The dark, the grit, a rollercoaster of a ride!! The highs and lows just pulled me in further and further. Pepper gave us her all in this book, it does end in a cliffy and yet again has me screaming out for the next book, I can't wait to see how Pepper wraps it all up. Just please go ease on my heart!!
I know this review is vague but that's because SO much happens in this book and to best enjoy it you need to go in blind, you need to enjoy it like I did, no spoilers.
This author is a dark unicorn writer and she has delivered another series which I highly recommend.

Sizzling hot captive romance series!
This series gets better and better! Even after this fourth book, I can’t wait to find out what happens next. There is action, adventure, intrigue, suspense, and all the heat you could possibly want. None of it is boring or slow. Just when you think the story will go one way, something totally out of the blue smacks you in the face and everything changes.
The Hero Sully has finally made it to that point where he figures out the difference between good and evil and decides to go the way of the good. I have been waiting for something to happen to get him there. Of course he isn’t totally and completely good. He still has murder in his heart when it comes to his brother, Drake and his minions. However, Sully can be excused there because Drake and his guys completely deserve everything they get.
Pepper Winters is terrific at character development and world building. From the very beginning I got a clear picture in my head of each and every character and setting. After the explosion in the last book, I could smell the burning flesh and when Pika and Skittles, the two parrots are up to their antics, I can picture them playing around and how cute they are.
The romance between Sullivan and Eleanor is no longer as hard to watch now that it is all about loving and protecting each other. Pepper Winters also finds good ways to show that deep love by mentioning their electrical connection makes it sound like they were destined to be together. But who knows what will happen after that cliffhanger. The biggest one yet and so dramatic. On to the next book Fifth a Fury and hopefully that title will be prophetic, because Sully is best when he is furious and raging. One more thing, this series is sizzling hot, a definite five out of five flames 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!

**** 4.5 Stars!!!!!****
Oh my God!!! I am dying to start the next book immediately! The cliffy from this instalment has left me shocked. I can’t even predict what is going to happen next!! This is the kind of story that keeps me riveted the whole time I am reading it!
This series has been amazing... but I will remind readers that it’s dark, frustrating, and torturous at times! It hasn’t Kept me bored though!
My biggest question of all is: Will Sully and Eleanor get the HEA they deserve? At this point, I haven’t a clue?? But I’m dying to find out!😬

Once a Myth ➤ https://bit.ly/30BgIwP
Twice a Wish ➤ https://bit.ly/2XPaA1T
Third a Kiss ➤ https://bit.ly/2UCMmGg
I'm currently feeling baffled, mystified, concerned, and a bit scared. What in the heck just happened?!
Now that Sully had acknowledged and accepted his love for Eleanor (and her's for him), the stakes have become even higher. His enemies are now her enemies. And when his deadliest foe puts a target on her head, the only thing Sully can think to do is ensure her safety. In the end, absolutely no one is safe. Beaten and terrified, how will these lovers endure?
I loved how even in the midst of almost certain defeat, Sully and Eleanor couldn't have been closer. While being tormented and betrayed, their love and chemistry and utter oneness were impossible to stifle. Even at what should have been his breaking point, when his body should have been shutting down, Sully pushed himself further to protect and serve his love.
I was absolutely riveted by this installment of the Goddess Isles series. The danger, the intrigue, the suspense, the horrifying torture... all elements that allowed time to pass me by all while I couldn't look away. How could I turn my eyes from what would happen next? Especially when I had no clue and couldn't even guess where this story was going. Was it possible that Sully's brother would come out on top this time? Who would survive???

My pain was his, and his was mine. Fate’s nasty trick where love was concerned. Fall for someone, and you didn’t just fall for their heart and happiness but also their flaws and fury.

The chemistry between us. The connection. The bond. It hurt. It hissed from his skin to mine. It electrified, it condemned, it hummed along its conduit with a lick of lust and love—a link that shared our pain, our promises, and every other pitiful thing we’d become.

Nothing Was The Same

Drizzy, you are the biggest c-word in the universe. Shame on you, you disgusting beta male. You're not even a human.
“You haven't seen my man
You haven't seen him
He's got the fire and he walks with it
He's got the fire and he talks with it.”
Sad Girl – Lana Del Rey
What’s this book about? (I'm trying to give as little spoilers as possible)
Eleanor Grace is in love with Sully Sinclair. He trusts her. They could go on and live in their own version of paradise. Their peace, however, is an illusion. Sully’s existence isn’t as invincible as he thought it was and now he must pay for his vanity. Nothing will ever be the same.
“Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time
I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined.”
Look What You Made Me Do – Taylor Swift
The Goddess Isles series is my favorite series of this year. This book might not be my favorite instalment of the series, but this entire series is my ultimate favorite. My heart broke so many times in this instalment. I read this in one sitting, right after it reached my Kindle. I couldn’t put it down. This is that book, the one before the BIG BANG, but there are so many explosions in this book already. WHAT WILL PEPPER DO TO US IN THE FINAL BOOK? HAVE MERCY!!!!!
Sully and his self-blaming ways owned me. Eleanor wasn’t my fav in this story, but she had her moments. I expect a lot from her because I love her so much as a leading lady and it’s difficult for her to live up to my expectations in the in-between books. Some of her actions in this book were shallow, making me ask myself if she was dumb or dumb dumb. Skittles and Pika… These babies have a life of their own; THEY STEAL THE SHOW WITH THEIR SWEETNESS. I can’t deal. My understanding of Cal improved in the fourth book. Drizzy finally made his big embarkment and y’all should get ready.
I love this series a lot, so I’m also allowed to honestly criticize it even if it sounds harsh. My main criticism is that the first 20% of the book seemed like a dragged out hollow shell of nothingness, basically a waste of time. Throughout this story I felt like situations were extended and overexplained, but I also acknowledge that this is the book before the final instalment, so I’m willing to turn a blind eye to it. I still read it with passion and determination to find out what happens.
I recommend this to all fellow animal lovers/vegetarians/vegans (WE’RE GETTING A SEAT AT THE TABLE, Y’ALL! High school bully, who?), complex heroines with big hearts admirers and lovers of tortured trust-issues leading men with big… islands amongst other things.
Original comment: 4.5 stars. Too slow. Not my favorite installment. BUT IT BROUGHT ALL THE FUCKING FEELS, HOW ABOUT THAT. LET'S GO GET THEM IN THE FINAL BOOK!

Oh my word what a spectacular story! I’m at a loss for words. My emotions and nerves are on edge. Every emotion is firing, I’m rendered speechless. I’m literally on the edge of the cliff, a whisper away as this book has painted such a vivid story. Every single detail and emotion is captured and holding me hostage.

4.4🌟
This series just keeps getting more and more intense, and this book? It's the darkest yet. It's packed with tons of action and suspense.
I suffered from so much anxiety while reading this book. I couldn't put it down!
Jinx had made me human.
Eleanor had made me care.
And just like that...my entire fucking empire was over.
For the record, this book completely redeemed Sully in my eyes! I forgive any boneheaded-ness on his part seeing just how protective and caring he was.❤️
If I survive, Jinx...
I’m yours.
And you...I’m keeping forever.
Can't wait to start the last book in the series and find out what happens after this!

Pepper's Tale of Volatile love in Goddess Isles could very well be renamed
"The Impossibility Of Us".
I've rarely come across a couple so desperately in denial and so compelling and comabtive with their feelings. As pepper prepares to pour oil over water and set a match to it, the resulting explosion will knock you on your Ass!!
As the story gains momentum with every book, the inevitable crash is just around the corner. this runaway train of anger, desperation and frustration hurtles on a downward slope of lust, greed and betrayal. Allies are getting mixed with enemies and blood runs on the island like water. Humans and Animals alike are targets, with no mercy for any.
I've felt a thrill like never before, my toes curling in anticipation and heart palpitating like a jungle drum throughout this book. Every chapter sends a shiver up my spine. I trembled and gasped, was horrified and stunned at the enormity and frenzy of the assault on my senses.
Fourth episode starts with a truth and ends with a lie.
“There was a truth once. Truth we shared in the dark and scribed scars upon our hearts....
There was a lie once. A lie that shattered our hard-earned truth apart....”
And the fate of the Jinxed Relationship hangs by a thread.
Pepper polishes new facets of Sully's personality. His shine gets brilliant with every scene.his love, devotion, loyalty and commitment gets tested often and he passes them with top honors
Eleanor is frustratingly stubborn and fiercely single minded in her goals. She gives wholeheartedly and is doggedly persistent in her pursuit.
Other side characters get their fare share to show their true colors too, some golden, some graphite.
I'm struggling to vague book without giving away spoilers, so I'll suffice to say this-
Tumultuous and riotous Love is tested like never before and readers are in for a Rollercoaster ride. It will get scary and nauseous at times, even barbaric... and the end will leave you astonished at the massive turn of events. Tears won't be enough, cries won't be enough, pleas won't be enough.
What's done IS DONE!!!😲😲😮
I have to mention the twist in the climax. The reckoning buildup scene was filled with mistimed passion and indignance. Though it was arousing and desirous, it evoked pity and sorrow. There's cries of both ecstasy and anger. Voyeurism and embarrassment were sitting together and the mood balanced delicately between degradation and honor
"We’d become dependent, obsessed, utterly and totally besotted with the one thing that would never let us be free again.
I’m his.
He’s mine."
In my opinion that scene is the BEST WRITING PIECE I've ever read from Pepper.
The entire book will tear apart your heart, rip it into shreds and won't afford you a respite to shed tears. Prepare to undergo the hysterical, non stop onslaught of the senses till you're exhausted and drained.......and THEN pepper goes in for the kill!!!
Prepare to be annihilated with ALL the emotions running amuck in this Anti-Climatic book leading up to the Finale in next one.
I barely survived.....hope you do better!!
5 stars for For Feathered Sake

Other side characters get their fare share to show their true colors too, some golden, some graphite.
I'm struggling to vague book without giving away spoilers, so I'll suffice to say this-
Tumultuous and riotous Love is tested like never before and readers are in for a Rollercoaster ride. It will get scary and nauseous at times, even barbaric... and the end will leave you astonished at the massive turn of events. Tears won't be enough, cries won't be enough, pleas won't be enough.
What's done IS DONE!!!😲😲😮
I have to mention the twist in the climax. The reckoning buildup scene was filled with mistimed passion and indignance. Though it was arousing and desirous, it evoked pity and sorrow. There's cries of both ecstasy and anger. Voyeurism and embarrassment were sitting together and the mood balanced delicately between degradation and honor
"We’d become dependent, obsessed, utterly and totally besotted with the one thing that would never let us be free again.
I’m his.
He’s mine."
In my opinion that scene is the BEST WRITING PIECE I've ever read from Pepper.
The entire book will tear apart your heart, rip it into shreds and won't afford you a respite to shed tears. Prepare to undergo the hysterical, non stop onslaught of the senses till you're exhausted and drained.......and THEN pepper goes in for the kill!!!
Prepare to be annihilated with ALL the emotions running amuck in this Anti-Climatic book leading up to the Finale in next one.
I barely survived.....hope you do better!!
5 stars for For Feathered Sake

4.5/5★
In this fourth book, Sully's despicable brother Drake finally made his way to the island intending to take everything from Sully, the island, the elixir, the goddesses and even Eleanor. From how the previous book went I had pretty much anticipated that something like this would happen but I wasn't prepared for the unslaught of it all, to be honest. There was a lot of fighting, people getting hurt and the ending makes me both crave and dread the next and final book. And yet I loved it all.
Sully and Eleanor... what can I say about these two characters that I haven't said before. They just have my heart. They both are exactly what the other one needs but of course it isn't that easy. It never is in a book by Pepper Winters. I've also come to really care for some of the secondary characters. Jealousy, who is one of Sully's goddesses but also his friend, especially is one I adore. I've even come to like Cal, who before I wasn't a fan of. It's just another talent of this author, making me care for more than just the two main characters that the story is about.
So after the ending of book three I knew this would be a very intense book and I was completely right. Everything happening in this book was much like Sully himself; merciless and unyielding. That's what made it such an incredible and thrilling read. It's no wonder that I finished this book in only two days. I really couldn't stop reading, it was such a good one!
Fourth a Lie was way more unpredictable, more dangerous, even more sensuall and erotic than I originally thought it would be. I mean, I knew it would be another great addition to the series because I've enjoyed all the previous books but this latest installment definitely kicked things up a notch and I was soooo there for it all!

This series is forever going to be one of my favorites from Pepper. Sully is all consuming, and truly one of her book boyfriends that will always be in my heart.
The action is off the charts, the chemistry is electric, and the ending is mouth dropping and everything. If you're still on this ride, as you should be, this one is going to blow you away.
Pepper Winters has mastered a skill that very little have been able to accomplish, keeping me invested 4 books into a series, especially when it's a continuation of the same couple. That is a feat unto itself. I'm usually skimming pages, or lost interest awhile ago - not with these books.
Fourth A Lie is going to be first in your heart, not that you stood a chance anyways.

All I can say is OMG Pepper Winters has really outdone herself. Each book in this series just gets better and better. Sully and Jinx happily ever after is always out of reach for one reason or another. This couple can never get one break, the love and connection is so strong that through sight or touch it is a binding connection like no other, and Sully is willing to give it all up for his Eleanor/Jinx. He just wants her safe from the monster who torture him as a kid. The monster who has always wanted what Sully has. I just love Pika and Skittles brother & sister parrots that has taken a liking to Jinx.
Once Sully found out who betrayed him, he was devastated and promised to take a pound of flesh in revenge. Sully now knows he can depend and trust in two people his Jinx and his faithful companion Cal, however when he believes yet another person his friend Jealousy has betrayed him Sully is undone. This book is action from page to page, I was so pleased with the outcome, however another cliffhanger and we have to wait until the last and final book Fifth a fury, it can't get here soon enough.

Fourth a Lie (GODDESS ISLES Book 4) was incredible. It was brutal, intense, and a total page-turner. I couldn't read this book fast enough and experienced page flip anxiety while trying not to skip ahead. The fourth installment in this series is action-packed. Drake and Sully go to war. Sully finds himself at war with his emotions as he realizes his heart's potential to experience love. I'm DYING to see how it all ends. The conclusion, Fifth a Fury (GODDESS ISLES Book 5), will release on June 16th.

This series is everything, and each book gets better and better. So unbelievably hot. Horrifyingly suspenseful. Packed with action and sensuality and addictive, intoxicating love. I don't want the series to end.
May 10, 2020
As with every other book in this series, Pepper Winters has knocked me on my ass with her AMAZING ability to write and create a story. Create a whole world. Create such images that I feel like I am in the middle of the story and witnessing everything firsthand.
Fourth a Lie picks up right at the cliffhanger of Third a Kiss. Pepper wasn't lying when she said she was leaving brutal cliffhangers at the end of each book. And then the ending of this one...is NO JOKE either!!
With each book, Sully captures my heart even more, and Eleanor climbs her ranks as the best female lead, as well. Sully has that alpha, protective, possessiveness that I totally swoon over, and Eleanor has such strength, loyalty, and tenacity. Their relationship has grown so passionate and hot that I swear I thought my Kindle was about to overheat. But it's not only that... due to Eleanor's strength and loyalty, she is exactly what Sully needs.
My heart felt like I was riding on a rollercoaster this entire book. It felt good and happy...as well as scared $#!+less sometimes. I can't tell you how many times I basically shot up shocked/scared, yelling "NOOO" at my Kindle...followed by falling back against my headboard in relief with a few "oh, thank God..." being whispered...followed by total "WTF?!?!" moments.
More is revealed into Sully's past, and let's just say it isn't pretty. But thanks to Eleanor, he is being brought to the light... and it is glorious!
There is so much more I feel like I want to say about this story, but that would potentially require me to reveal what happens in previous books, and you really need to read for yourself. You're definitely doing yourself a disservice if you don't read it. Pepper is NAILING this series!! I am anxious, a bit scared, and DYING for Fifth a Fury!!! I can't believe the series is nearly over...

Book four left me breathless. My heart is still pounding, my mind is screaming NO, and my mouth hangs open as in "what just happened "?
This series has been absolutely fantastic. After every book I think to myself "the next one won't be as good" but Pepper Winters surprises and shocks me every.single.time!
This is a series I will read over and over again!
I extremely recommend this book!

Are you ready? I don’t think you are because WOW!! Buckle up because this one might just rip you apart! After the shocking cliffhanger in the prior book we begin right where we left off. Sully finally admitted his feelings he has about Jinx but at what cost to both of them and all that he has created? With enemies closing in can they find a way to come out on top or is this the end? Can he finally confront his brother before he loses everything? A war is coming...so be prepared to fight! “Pain means your still Alive.” Oh, my heart!!! This is an explosive, jaw dropping and intense, heartbreaking adventure that will leave you breathless! More action than romance in this one as enemies finally surface! Sully reminds me so much of Q and I’m not mad at that AT ALL!! I love how fierce and strong Eleanor is! One more book to go and I need it NOW! Told in dual POV

After the way Third a Kiss ended, I was both excited an terrified going into Fourth a Lie. And, as it turns out, I had good reason to be. Fourth a Lie has a much more sinister vibe than previous installments with an in person introduction of a formidable villain and not only Sully and Eleanor's relationship but their very survival on the line. Fourth a Lie brings with it high octane action, many edge of your seat moments as well as a heavy dose of passion, love and desperation. Sully and Eleanor's fragile relationship gets tested to the max and, I have to say, I was in awe of Eleanor's strength and commitment to Sully. Sully, in his infinite stubbornness, is trying to protect Eleanor in the only way that he feels he can, while fighting a seemingly unwinnable battle for his home and everything he hold dear. he is a god among men and yet infinitely mortal. My heart broke and I was completely entranced and horrified throughout this book. This one is definitely not for the faint of heart and steps us the level of darkness. While the focus shifts somewhat away from the relationship and into action, the love and passion still shines through. We also still get those scorching hot scenes that have been the hallmark of the series. In Fourth a Lie we also get a clearer picture of people's loyalties and I was both appalled, awed, and developed a better understanding of certain characters. I know I'm being vague, but, as always, it's best to go in blind and simply enjoy the ride. But make sure you hold on to the handrails on this one!

Ok, I’m trying to figure how to stop my heart from beating out of my chest from all of the emotions from this book!
I had absolutely no idea what to expect after the events that took place at the end of Third a Kiss. I knew that whatever if was it was bound to be something that did not bode well for Sully and Eleanor’s fledgling love. It would be almost impossible for Sully to experience all the loss he has his entire life and not be affected by it. However, once again Pepper freaking Winters was able to weave her magic to show the transformative power of unconditional love and acceptance. This story is utterly breathtaking in the amount of unconditional love that these two have for each other. It is an otherworldly thing to see how their souls recognize the others regardless of any mask or wall erected. The self sacrifice that both of them show the other has just left me completely speechless.... Truly beautiful.

Pepper Winters you are killing me!!! As you know this is the fourth book in five and starts off where the last ended. I didn't know if I would recover from the ending of the last book which gutted me but this one goodness. This book was full of holding my breath minutes, praying that it didn't turn out the way I thought it was going to. My heart broke so many times reading this book but then there were things that made me really happy. The ending......... heart in two.....Peppers writing makes you think you are right there in the sand with them. It's hard to really tell you what happened without spoilers but take my word for it this series is amazing. Thank you Pepper for letting me continue this journey and I am mad that I have to wait a month for the last book.

The fourth and penultimate book in the Goddess Isles series has left me once again desperate for more. This series continues to be up there with my favourite reads of all time and until Fifth a Fury releases my thoughts will be constantly with Sully, Eleanor and the others who remain on the Islands. I have absolutely no idea which way this story is going to go!
I don’t wish to say too much in my review as I want you to experience this book without obtaining even the slightest hint of any of the details. I will admit that the first part of the book was a little slow for my liking. I felt that I wanted the answers to come more quickly than what they did and maybe that was me being impatient more than anything. Saying that, once the action started I could not put this book down. It had everything I have felt in all the previous books - excitement, angst, fear, love, heartache, passion and everything else you can imagine. OMG it was thrilling, jaw dropping, intense and I couldn’t get enough!
The more time I spend with Sully and Eleanor the more I fall in love with this couple. They have a connection that many of us will envy. Eleanor continues to amaze me and in Fourth a Lie we see more of her strength and determination. When I think back to my first thoughts regarding Sully and how I see him now, there has been a big shift in my opinion of him. Please don’t get me wrong, I’ve always found him attractive and I can’t help but fall for an alpha bad guy but now he has my whole heart and I hope that even though he has made some mistakes, that he does get his happy ending. I hope that Eleanor does too!
I cannot recommend this series enough. I know that some of Pepper Winter’s regular readers have been waiting for all the books to be released before starting to read this series - she is Queen of cliffhangers after all. So I’m feeling a little jealous of those who will soon be embarking on this incredible journey, reading the series for the first time. I give this instalment 4.5 stars because I would have liked a faster pace in the early part of the book but honestly that niggle was almost forgotten due to the excitement that followed.

This book had a whole lotta crazy in it that had me on the edge of my seat, and I was grateful for every second of it. This series stes Sully to be the villain, but once he and Jinx grow closer...then what? By book 3, I was wondering what could possibly happen next. And so, this story was the perfect addition to this series. It also redeems Sully in so many ways, before and during this story. He sees so much through this.
It starts out with Sully needing to protect Elenor in the one way he can. Her determination to fight him on this, and then through this, knows no bounds and I think both their acts speak to how much they truly love one another. I do also think how it played out was something that needed to happen. This story couldn’t progress or conclude with her never being apart from him. The opportunities he gives her in this one, that she turns away from, speaks to their love. Then all his actions are focused on her.
I held my breath for most of this book. I felt fear for both characters, but especially her. I didn’t know how it would play out with Drake. He’s a whole lot of insane, and if we thought Sully was the dark brother, think again! He had a unique way of his business, but in the end was nothing compared to Drake’s form of evil. I hate him so much. Pepper does a great way of setting up a villain that readers will genuinely dislike.
It seems like everytime they were so close, they were so far. There is a moment in the book though, near the end, where Sully had the opportunity but he didn’t take it. If this was a movie we’d all being yelling how stupid he was and how it would come back to bite him.
Overall great read though and I can’t wait to see how this whole story plays out and wraps up in the fifth and final one.

Just when you think there might be a glimmer of hope for Sully and Jinx, Pepper snatches it away and stomps on it for good measure. This book is (so far) the darkest of this series. The betrayal, the torture, the heartbreak are all felt without reprieve, without any hope for the future.
Starting off where third a kiss ends, readers are thrown directly into a never ending battle between brothers. Drake might just be Pepper’s most hated character to date. As the battle for Euphoria continues, loyalties and trust are pushed to the breaking point.
The cliffhanger will leave readers anxious for Fifth a Fury. And desperately hoping for redemption, survival and a maybe even a happy ending.
