Emerald Bruises

The Jewelry Box, Book 2

De: Pepper Winters

Narrado por: Luke William Bromley, Lucy Jessica

I made a bargain with a monster. A vow to save both our lives.

I thought our commitment would stay true. It didn't.

I've spent my entire life alone. I'm well used to loneliness and the endless pain of having no one.

Sure, we made a bargain.

We shared our secrets and made a vow.

But I warned her not to do one tiny thing.

One very important thing.

For a while, she obeyed me.

Until the night she didn't.

And now the connection we shared?

That alliance we forged?

It's broken.

I'm broken.

And by the time I'm done with her, she'll be broken too.

Triggers on every warning possible. This is dark and will push every boundary that exists. Be warned....

Love everything

God, what an amazing book, but I would expect nothing less from Pepper Winters. I especially absolutely LOVE the male narrator. I hope he does more romance books in the future. 😍

Just Get it Already

If you made it through book one you know you NEED this one! Well worth the credit. I thought it was better than the first book actually. I was worried for a minute in there- I'm not into vanilla triumphing over evil- but never fear! My worries were unfounded😈🥵😉👍🏻👍🏻 like I said… better than the first one😏😈. Narration was top-notch, good amount from both character POVs, kept me interested the whole way through, does end on an EXTREMELY frustrating, yet enticing cliff hanger. I highly recommend. Just get it already… you know you want too🫦

So good

Keeping this one short and sweet. From the first scene, my heart broke for both Ily and Henri. He asked her to do ONE thing and when she fails to do so, his switch FLIPS! I have a feeling that Ms. Winters is going to break me with the next installment. I’m sure after you finish EB, you will feel the same.

The narrators are perfection!!!

Pepper winters is one of my favorite authors. She never disappoints. The narrators bought this story to life ❤️

Dark dark dark

5 ⭐ 3 🌶 5 🎧

Just when I think there's no way this series gets darker, Pepper goes ARE YOU SURE? 😂 This book is torture, spice, some more torture, some more spice and a wicked cliffhanger that has me pulling my hair out before remembering I thankfully have an ARC of Sapphire Scars 🙌🏼

I can't get enough of Henri. He is so morally charcoal black that he doesn't even realize he's not good for even Ily. I'm almost positive he thinks his dubcon is as romantic as rose petals and candles and it makes my heart break for him all the while making my heart palpitate because he's just so dang hot.

Ily is something FIERCE. That woman can not be broken and I absolutely adore her. I love the connections she's made with her fellow jewels and while I'm not sure how she's going to eventually fall for Henri, I am 100% here for it.

The audio is duet narration and absolutely fantastic. Lucy Jessica and Luke William Bromley did such a phenomenonal job telling this story and I had an amazing time listening today.
