This is the only book that I have read in this series so I am missing some of the back story but that being said I didn't feel lost or lacking any information.
Tess Mercer still can't get over that she is lucky enough to be married to Q Mercer after three years. One thing she knows he doesn't like is surprises but she plans on surprising him for his birthday with their friends.
Q Mercer is keeping a major secret from Tess and when he reveals it to her will he be risking everything he loves? When he decides to change the dynamics in their relationship will it divide them to the point where they can't find their way back?
Wow - I wasn't sure what to expect with this book but it definitely left me with wanting to go start the series from the beginning! There is so much that I look forward to learning about the back story and it is because I enjoyed this one so much!
It is clear that both Tess and Q are amazing and strong people to overcome what they have but it is also clear how torn Q is with what he is keeping from Tess. His guilt and his belief in karma threaten to destroy their relationship but Tess never gives up on what she believes in.
It is also clear how their small group of friends - Suzette, Franco, Frederick and Angelique are very loyal to both Tess and Q but do what is best for each, even if they may not realize it!
This novella was great and I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series!

I have been so damn hesitant to read this.
I knew I would love it, but just the thought of this being the last book to Q's and Tess' story kills me. Their story is one of the best, no doubt.
Q is the best, no question.
Knowing their story has come to an end... Merde, I can't handle this.
Putain de merde...
I tried to resist reading this, but when I read Millions and baby Lino existed... let's just say I couldn't stop myself any longer; I needed to read this.
I needed Q in my life one last time...
But, it's safe to say... I won't be seeing the last of him, 'cause I'm betting he can't stay out of the next book PW writes in the world of Q.
Forever, this series will be unforgettable. Even when I'm old and grey, I will not forget Q. He's unforgettable.

Perfect ending to this series. Even if Q frustrated the FUCK out of me for the entirety of the book...

Oh how I have loved being back in Q and Tess's world with this final addiction to The Monsters In The Dark series.
I fell in love with them from the first moment I read Tears Of Tess and it had just grown and grown with each book released. And this added novella has just been the icing on the cake for me.
We have watched this complex couple overcome so much over the series, from extreme highs to the devastating lows. You would think they deserved a calm and stable life now...but Q is keeping something from Tess. She knows it and won't stop until she uncovers what is troubling her husband.
However, with truth comes a new level of protectiveness from Q that overall sees him putting the chains on the 'beast', and the intensity that is Q and Tess's sexual relationship.
She's not about to let that happen.
Will she succeed? Or will she lose who her husband truly is?
I absolutely loved this book. I really did.
We seen different sides to Q and Tess that we haven't really seen before. Tess is definitely a lot stronger and dominant when it comes to Q and the battle he has with himself.
"She was more than my lover, my best friend, and partner. She was the blood in my heart, the breath in my lungs, the fucking marrow in my bones. Without her, I wouldn't exist. Without her, my body would be nothingness: no heartbeats, no mind, no man...no animal."
I love Pepper's writing. She has this uncanny ability to write complex and heartbreaking stories that will grab you by the throat and leave you gasping for a breath. She show us that everyone deserves to find love and a happily ever after..even the 'monsters in the dark'.
This is definitely a series that needs to devoured and treasured for years after.
I'm sad that the series is completely over, but I couldn't have asked for a better ending to Q and Tess. They deserved this ending, and the happiness that comes with it.
