Eleanor Grace is a naïve dreamer. Trusting and young, she believes her book-loving boyfriend can save her when her freedom is snatched and sold. Squirreled away to an island at midnight, delivered to a man even darkness won’t touch, she’s bound by a contract.
Five men.
Five fantasies.
Five pieces of her soul.
Sullivan Sinclair is the giver of fantasies. Any wish, any desire—he is the master at quenching even the filthiest appetites. His private paradise and perfectly trained goddesses are there for one purpose: to ensure every guest is extremely well satisfied.
He bought her.
He trapped her.
She belongs to him.

This is a dark romance. It's not for everyone. Please don't pick this book up if any of those trigger warnings will trigger you!

Pepper Winters is by far my favorite romance author. She writes mostly dark romances, so these books are not for everyone. Tears Of Tess was my introduction to this dark world and I've been obsessed since reading that series. Speaking of Tess, I really like how Pepper's other books are integrated in this one. We meet Tess very early in this book and we also know that Sullivan does business with Jethro from the Indebted series. 

I think this series is going to be insane. 

Eleanor Grace is abducted as she is travelling with her boyfriend Scott. She's sold to Sullivan who runs an island where people can pay a huge sum of money to have their sexual fantasies brought to life. Sullivan has made an elixir that will make your body.... extremely turned on? I'm honestly not entirely sure how to say it. Basically, for a few hours you're going to be extremely horny. 

He gives this elixir to his Goddesses. The Goddesses are the women he's bought from slavers. He has them all sign a contract where they will work for him for four years and then he sets them free. All the Goddesses love it on the island after they adjust. 

Eleanor is the exception. She wants nothing to do with this island. She doesn't want anything to do with this elixir. She hates it. She hates Sullivan... or does she?

This is obviously like an enemies to lovers romance. As both Sullivan and Eleanor highly dislike each other for different reasons. 

This book was addicting. This book is extremely steamy. I didn't want to put it down. I made sure I finished it before June was over so I could include it in my monthly wrap up. I cannot wait to see what awaits Eleanor and Sullivan in the next book!
