I'm very happy to be apart of the As the Pages Turn Blog Tour for Pepper Winter's Quintessentially Q. I must admit I have never read anything this dark before. All the other books I've read have had some darkness but this was really beyond anything I could have imagined. Very few books make me have to stop and take a deep cleansing breath but this book sure did. If you are looking for something dark this book is for you. I won't lie this book is very intense but it's what makes it such a good read. It is a the 2nd book in the series, highly recommend you read the first one as it sets the background of what is going on.
As Tess returns to Q - he of course struggles with the feelings he has for her. Not sure if he can stop from killing her with his wicked cravings. Tess struggles to make Q see that she can handle what he wants from her and trust him not to ever go to far. Of course tragedy strikes as old enemies find her and Tess is thrown back to her worst nightmare. Will she survive and will Q reach her before they break her completely?
The story line is very well written and I did not feel the author tried to rush through the story. I won't post any spoilers but just know that it was satisfying to read the ending. Q - is a true possessive and protective man.

SYNOPSIS:
“All my life, I battled
with the knowledge I was twisted… fucked up to want something so deliciously
dark—wrong on so many levels. But then slave fifty-eight entered my world.
Hissing, fighting, with a core of iron, she showed me an existence where two
wrongs make a right."
Tess is Q’s completely. Q
is Tess’s irrevocably. But now, they must learn the boundaries of their
unconventional relationship, while Tess seeks vengeance on the men who sold
her. Q made a blood-oath to deliver their corpses at Tess’s feet, and that’s
just what he’ll do.
He may be a monster, but
he’s Tess’s monster.

Here is a quick excerpt to get you started!
“Merde, esclave, stop. For fuck’s sake,
you’re ruining me.” Even with the ferocity of Q’s anger, I thrilled with the
knowledge I was winning in some small measure—the former slave training the
master. If I’d been a poet, I would’ve written how serendipitous it all was. How
fate entwined and cursed us both.
Q
gripped my hips, propping me higher. Pulling out, the heat of his erection
nudged my ass; I jolted with urgency.
Sitting
higher on his knees, Q muttered, “This is going to be fast and hard, and I
don’t want you to say a word, do you hear me?”
I
nodded, breathless already. “I’ll do anything you want, as long as you let me
come.”
“You
can come, but only when I say.” His nails imprinted crescent moons into my
skin, digging deep. “But if you come before, I’ll punish you worse. I won’t
feel regret or remorse. I’ll find a way to punish you that doesn’t make me
suffer, too.”
He
rocked, and his cock eased down my ass, between my spread thighs, nudging my
core.
Words
were beyond me. I nodded wildly, scrabbling at the carpet. The strands wrapped
around my fingers and I held on for dear life.
With
urgent hands, Q untwisted my coiled ponytail and grabbed a handful.
With
a jerk, he forced my head back. My spine arched as he plunged inside me.
Deep.
Hard.
Excruciating
fullness.
I
opened my mouth to scream, but he clamped a hand over me, riding me, containing
my cries. “Shush, esclave. Not a
sound, remember?”
The
intrusion was pain personified, the rocking endless bliss.
The
way he took me held no remnants of the sometimes sweet man beneath the
blackness. This was purely brutal and dark and animalistic.
I
loved it.
With
his cock deep inside, his fist wrapped around my ponytail, and his other hand
clasped over my mouth, he fucked me. Bucking so hard, carpet burn incinerated
my pantyhose in a matter of seconds.
But
every time he thrust, I pushed back to meet him. I bowed more than I’d ever
bowed before, relishing in the burn of my hair being tugged. My lungs strained
as Q grunted and rutted, taking me true to his word.

“After battling
through hell, I brought my esclave back from the brink of ruin. I sacrificed

beast is growing bolder, and it’s finally time to show Tess how beautiful the
dark can be.”
