"After battling through hell, I brought my esclave back from the brink of ruin. I sacrificed everything--my heart, my mind, my very desires to bring her back to life. And for a while, I thought it broke me, that I'd never be the same. But slowly the beast is growing bolder, and it's finally time to show Tess how beautiful the dark can be."
Q gave everything to bring Tess back. In return, he expects nothing less. Tess may have leashed and tamed him, but he's still a monster inside.
After surviving the darkness, a new dawn has begun. Twisted Together wades through black to grey, chasing the light of true love to banish the shadows forever.
Pain is a requirement, connection a necessity. But ultimately Q and Tess must face their demons, before they can embrace their future.

♥Twisted Together - Excerpt♥
I shook my head. I didn’t understand. All I understood was his voice had the power to make me come. The deep tenor vibrated through my heart, sending tiny orgasms exploding in my veins.
I needed to be touched. I needed to be kissed.
Kiss him. Let him know.
Launching upright, I splashed a wave over the tub. Q jerked back, but wasn’t fast enough. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I dragged him down toward me. His hand slipped on the rim, plunging his arms into the water, landing on either side of my body.
His mouth opened to curse, but I swallowed whatever he said. My lips stole his, and the moment I tasted him, I went a little mad.
My core squeezed with delirium, demanding to be filled. My eyes rolled back at the sheer bliss of kissing.
He tasted like freedom and violence and pain.
“Esclave…wait…” Q tried to speak, but he only gave me the opportunity to slink my tongue into his mouth. Joy bounced and fizzed in my heart, demanding more.
I moaned, dragging him closer. My hands dug into his hair, tugging with sharp-laced desire. His mouth opened, either in shock or passion—I didn’t hesitate. I thrust my tongue deeper into his mouth, willingly drowning myself in all things Q.
DEE'S REVIEW
Pepper, what have you done to me? I feel like my emotions have been put into a blender. Like I have just ran an emotional marathon. I'm all over the place. While reading this, I was bouncing from one emotion to the next, it was hard to keep up. I was pissed- legit pissed off at Tess. I was texting my friend who was also reading the book, and we were both saying how she have up and Q deserved more from her. How could she? It was like she just quit. Q did so much for her, and she's just a shell. We were reading to go to battle for Q. Then I found myself scared for Q. He almost did something he would have regretted for the rest of his life, something that would have haunted him, and I blamed Tess. Here I was back to being really upset with her. Open up to him Tess, let him save you.....again!!! Of course, i don't have to tell you there were times I felt the need to dump an ice bucket down my pants. Pepper sure knows how to write those sex scene, nice and dark and twisted and taboo- just like we like. Then I found myself scared for Tess, nervous for Q. Was his way of fixing her going to work? What if it didn't? What would be left of them? Gah! Then I was literally in tears for Q. They're not supposed to get to him, he's Q. He's untouchable. I think by this point, I was like a junkie - shaking, drained, dying for more. But then I would get mad. I would get to a part in the book where it would move really slow. Almost like it was too descriptive, too much information and I would be upset. I'm used to being so obsessed with the book I can't put it down, but here I would actually skim or skip a little because it was just too slow, wasn't moving fast enough or had so much in the paragraph or sentence that I really didn't care about I would move on. I don't know why I found myself doing it, but I know it happened in the later half of the book and it happened more than once. Now that's not to say I didn't think it was spectacular, it was. I think Pepper did an amazing show with the last book in the series. She tied up all our loose ends, she brought everything together and gave us a scary, at times, nerve wracking, strong end to the story. We get to see Q evolve and Tess grow into this strong woman, but still exactly the esclave Q needs. I mean what she did... Wow. Balls. I also found myself with mad respect for Franco. So here I am at the end, crying it's over, crying for Tess and Q and this dark rollercoaster Pepper has taken me on. How will I ever move on from this?
I give this 4.5 hearts

Synopsis
“All my life, I battled with the knowledge I was twisted… screwed up to want something so deliciously dark—wrong on so many levels. But then slave fifty-eight entered my world. Hissing, fighting, with a core of iron, she showed me an existence where two wrongs do make a right."
Tess is Q’s completely. Q is Tess’s irrevocably. But now, they must learn the boundaries of their unconventional relationship, while Tess seeks vengeance on the men who sold her. Q made a blood-oath to deliver their corpses at Tess’s feet, and that’s just what he’ll do.
He may be a monster, but he’s Tess’s monster.
