“There was a monster once. A monster who bought me, controlled me, and took away my freedom.
There was a man once. A man who dealt in myth and secrets, hiding behind his mask, making me hunger and wish to know the truth.”
Eleanor Grace belongs to the man and the monster, hating them both but unable to deny that something links them. Something she doesn’t want to feel, something that traps her as surely as the sea surrounding the island where she serves.
Sully Sinclair belongs to his past and the black and white script his life has become. He views his goddesses as commodities—possessions to be treated kindly but firmly. The only problem is…Eleanor is different.
She’s jinxed him.
Cursed him.
Awakened him.
She’s a goddess with the power to ruin him.

MY REVIEW
Mind-boggling, erotic and sensual as hell, The Goddess Isles series takes you out of 90s romance and hits you with a dark and sensual read befitting the year 2020! Pepper Winters gives you a book you never knew you wanted but always dreamed of. If you thought Goddess Isles couldn’t get any more intriguing, you’re mistaken. This was without a doubt the most exciting, page-turning read. It is heart-pounding, heart-wrenching, unputdownable gloriousness! It does not stop or let you up for air. I was submerged, drowning, in this story. From beginning to end, I was enthralled, consumed and OBSESSED. This second book begins where Once A Myth left off. Eleanor has experienced Euphoria and although she is ashamed and has contrary feelings towards who and what she has become, she has also found a type of freedom in her cage. She is a fighter and tries to reach something human and sensitive within Sully. For every step forward however, she falls two steps back. She must ask herself if the glimpse of something more between her and Sully can ever be enough. With Eleanor so close and defiant, Sully begins to spin out of control. He fight his feelings for Eleanor, vacillating between wanting her and wanting nothing to do with her. We also get a look into his past but, there is still much more to expose of his character. His emotions and actions run deep. Can he keep Eleanor if she poses such a dangerous threat to him? The connection between Eleanor and Sully throughout the book is electrifying and their encounters are dripping with passion and desire. The series so far is devastatingly sexy and full of word-foreplay. There is so much attention to detail that I became immersed in the island and the scenery. The wind, sand, water and waves were tangible. Pepper has created one hell of an elixir with this book. I was so intoxicated, I swallowed it whole! What a titillating ride! I received an Arc of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
EXCERPT
He was undone.
The most ruffled I’d ever seen him.
He was no longer cold-blooded, standing in the tropics without any sign of discomfort. He vibrated with ferocity, boiling with need and fury.
Our gazes locked and whatever minor dregs of dignity and energy I had left siphoned into the ground. My toes grew roots, anchoring me in place. My legs became bark, brittle and unable to bend. I planted myself into the soil, seeking purchase to weather another storm…the storm of Sullivan’s temper.
I didn’t know how this would go.
I didn’t know if I’d be alive after it.
But…I would be brave.
I would not break.
I squared my shoulders and waited.
Without a word, he stepped toward me.
