Best series of the year!

There are books I listen to, then there are books that linger. This one is lingering, you know that book hangover that won't let you dive into the next one. I knew this series was going to be phenomenal. It's based on my favorite fairy tale. Then Pepper Winters blows me away with the first two in the series leaving me a need for answers and resolution. I wasn't prepared for the emotional wear and tear on my heart! We pick up where book 2 leaves off, and meet Kas's brother Jareth. Not sure about his motives in the beginning, he is rough, dangerous and a little crazy. But his heart is true and remains with his family. Kass is wary, but he knows his brother. And when Jareth does the unthinkable, Kas and Gemma's life will change forever. Taking in everything that has happened, I am in awe of the story. To know it's a fairy tale, but realize the horrors do exist is mind boggling. Then we have the characters. Gemma is fantastic. By his side from start to finish, her love is unconditional and it pours through Kas. She is the calm and she knows he is worth the fight. Now to Kas. What a superb character. His emotional journey still has me torn up. His darkness is a huge part of him, and to see the goodness shining through made my listening experience incredibly breathtaking. And on that, I will start the narration.

Tor Thom and Charley Ongel are the story tellers, and I can't say enough good things about this performance. I am not a person who cries when I listen, but this story, this team, this gut wrenching emotional journey had tears in my eyes, love in my heart and a need to hear more. Thom is exceptional as Kas. He pours himself into this tortured soul, and you can tell he is feeling every single thing Kas does. Ongel's portrayal of Gemma comes through with a feeling of comfort and love that is second to none. Winters knew what these two would bring to our ears, and it is nothing short of perfect.

5 HUGE stars!!!!

This book is so good! If you wondered who the man at the end of Book 2 was, and what he would do to Gemma, OR where Kass was…. The answers are here!!! And they just bring up all sorts of feelings!!!

This starts where that finished…. And we soon figure out that Jareth has returned…. But why? And what happened to him and the others after Kassen told them to run? This information will be surprising.. not saying why. But this part of the book leads to…. Trying not to spoil while writing this is difficult!!

While reading and listening to this, many questions about the content crossed my mind. During a conversation Gemma had with a physician at one point in the story, the physician asked her if she needed help getting away from Kassen, which initially made me bristle…. But then made me think.. would the story twist there? Cause we all know how fond Pepper Winters is with twists and turns!!! It made my continued journey through this book all the more interesting! To say that the rest of it kept me glued Tobit is an understatement!

Pepper Winters has done it again.. not that this is a surprise to anyone who reads her books… this is an intriguing and extremely well written tale of people who have suffered immeasurable ordeal that, as a human, I can hardly fathom. The hardest part for me is that there are animals in this world who actually DO these things to other people. That they met the end they did, which we already knew about in Book 2… is more than they deserved. They should suffer….

Waoo just waoo miss Winters

I have no words , this series is just wonderful that 5 stars is not enough. No wonder I never feel satisfied with other authors who writes dark romance, I always go back to see what’s new with Pepper Winters. Thanks 🙏 so much for this beautiful/ well written story .👏👏👏👏👏 please do keep it coming
Thanks to this 2 brilliant narrators who help to bring this story to a whole new level 👏👏 what a beautiful job.

Believable Story

This series was really good. The story and the characters are very believable. I’m sorry there are only three books in this series. I was sad for it to end.

This Book is Everything!

Okay to start I want to say that i never write reviews! I have listened to at least 100 books on Audible and this is the review I have written. This book has all of the feels, it had me laughing, cringing, and crying several times! Truly incredible book, I can not say it enough. I honestly almost did not continue this story after the first book because it was not the usual genre I listen to but I am so glad I continued this series!

Tor and Charley rocked! Two thumbs up for their performance.

Omg!! This is the final book in Kas and Gem’s trilogy. And once again I was blown away with the story. So many twists and turns, the author never straying from the premise. The feels… wow, just wow! So many emotions ran rampant in my mind as the narrators (Tor Thom and Charley Ongel) brought the book to life with their performance. This series has great characters with steamy scenes and captivating plot.

Fable of Happiness

Wow, I had goosebumps overall.
Book 3 is definitely my favorite of all 3 books.

An unexpected visitor came into the valley and turned Gem's and Kas' life upside down.

A great last episode of this story and I loved every minute.

I can highly recommend all 3 Fable of Happiness books.

Please Tell Me This Will Continue With Jareth!

Always well written, intense stories with angsty characters surviving horrendous situations. Monumental hate, healing, and love...

Dark and thrilling!

That ending was superb! FABLE OF HAPPINESS, Book 3 is the twist worthy conclusion to the Fable Trilogy that we were waiting for with baited breath from the moment we experienced that cliffhanger from Book 2. The emotions! The drama! What a ride! I was consumed with every word and didn’t come up for air. What an utterly mind-boggling! It oozes with lust, love, desire, danger, sacrifice, power and control, and drags you deep into its darkness, intrigue and suspense that is all rolled up into one deliciously dark and twisted package. Pepper Winters know how to grab a reader in her clutches and keep them captivated with her storytelling. This is Kas and Gemma’s final story that is full of surprises—I was flabbergasted with the unexpected revelations that happened, but it was jaw-dropping good! I loved it! Kas stole my heart in how he adapted and was protective of Gemma. Gemma was so strong that she was a force to be reckoned with. I am absolutely flippant over how fantastic this edgy, dark, and heart-stopping romance is. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat to find out what happened next. This story took me through several emotional gamuts and pushed all my buttons, boundaries. Kas and Gemma’s attraction and chemistry is so intense, alluring and mesmerizing, binding them to one another perfectly. What happens next? Well, read this amazing story and find out—you won’t regret it! Pepper Winters has constructed a deliciously dark romance that will lure you into the wee hours and beyond that you won’t be able to put this book down. This is a MUST READ, but you have to read Books 1 and 2 first. Loved the narrators. This was exceptionally done!!

Fable of Happiness

I look forward to more of this intriguing storytelling. If you decide to follow thru with Jereth storyline of tracking down the rest of the brother and sister. I would find it to be worthy a read . Jereth polite is a story to tell . Not so much the raw killing . Don't ever change the duo make and female voices on you Audible. Two voices are and always will enhance the reading of a novel. I will repeat myself. This series was raw, addicting, decadent and very intense at times. Worthy read!

This trilogy is a rollercoaster

This book cannot be read as a standalone. Kas and Gemma have finally left the Valley and return to Gemma's World. This is the final installment that this story needed. I knew it wouldn't be easy for someone like Kas to reintegrate into society and it wasn't. But all the struggles weren't glossed over. This focuses on Kas' healing of his trauma. While he wasn't "cured" by any means he certainly is on the path to heal and with Gemma by his side, he has hope. This was slower paced than the first two books in this trilogy but I feel it needed to slow down just a little so it qas fitting. Despite how dark this series is I would be happy to recommend this to people who enjoy similar books to me. I volunteered to listen to a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Wow Wow Wow

Pepper... Lady... you have outdone yourself again. Book three exceeded all expectations. I love the twists in this one... Gaaaah 😍💞 I fall deeper and deeper in love with Kas every single time. Love his humor in this one. You had me gripped from the beginning. What a twist!
I love that this trilogy is so completely beautiful and unique. It's been a roller-coaster of emotions with this series and the ending could not have been more perfect.

Tom and Charley were amazing as always. I cannot even imagine anyone better for Kas and Gem.

This was everything.
