“At 18 I had pennies, but money didn’t make me bold. At 19 I had dollars, but it didn’t dull the pain of being sold. At 20 I had hundreds, but then I met him and was found. At 21 I had thousands, but all I wanted was to be bound.”
“At 23 I had dollars, but life changed and made me rich. At 25 I had hundreds, but it wasn’t enough to stop my killing itch. At 27 I had thousands, but my reputation didn’t set me free. At 29 I had millions, but I met her and could finally see.”
Tasmin was killed on her 18th birthday. She had everything planned out. A psychology degree, a mother who pushed her to greatness, and a future anyone would die for. But then her murderer saved her life, only to sell her into a totally different existence.
Elder went from penniless to stinking rich with one twist of fate. His lifetime of crime and shadows of thievery are behind him but no matter the power he now wields, it’s not enough. He has an agenda to fulfil and he won’t stop until it’s complete.
But then they meet.
A beaten slave and a richly dressed thief. Money is what guided their separate fates. Money is what brought them together. And money is ultimately what destroys them.
She was poor.
He was rich.
Together…they were bankrupt.
Review
Rating: 5 stars!
I finished this book yesterday and I still cannot believe what I read.. This is a 5 star book for sure since its from THE Pepper Winters but she just manages to surpass even herself with every book that she releases and this one is no different. Pennies is definitely a unique story in the dark romance genre and is not for the faint-hearted. Heed the warning carefully ladies, the darkness will swallow you whole if you are not able to stomach what happens to Pim.
Oh this poor little girl, who had her teenage fantasies ripped violently and so suddenly from her that will leave you heart-broken but rest assured, she is no doormat. Far from being broken from the atrocities that she's has had to endure at the hands of her master, she is as resilient as ever. She's been able to train her mind to tune out the violence doled out to her on a daily basis.
However, in comes Mr Prest, the beautiful stranger whom she cannot fully decipher. She can clearly see that he is no normal man, but in reality a killer dressed in the most carefully tailored suits but that's about it. He is a mysterious specimen of a man. He threatens her very existence with the way that he looks at her, demanding answers that she desperately wants to keep locked within the confines of her soul. For Pim, every day begins with the promise of untold pain from her psychotic master and Elder Prest is doing nothing but make her already difficult life, even more unbearable.
I do not want to write more on this book since I'm afraid I'll spoil it for the readers. I'll only say that the dark romance lovers need it pick it like right the hell now. Pennies comes at the very top of my favorite read list this year and its also one of the darkest. The connection between Pim and Elder has me curious about what will happen next.. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series since Pepper Winters has something enthralling about her writing that I absolutely cannot resist.

Excerpt
Fuck this.
I stalked forward.
My hand came up.
The urge to soothe her catapulted my fingers to her cheek. My skin erupted from her delicate heat. I’d already had my single touch when I’d petted her hair. I wasn’t permitted a second.
But it didn’t stop me.
One second, she stood close, arching her chin at the door.
The next, she was across the cage, flying into a stack of boxes that tumbled in a clatter of butcher knives, butter knives, and sharp forks.
Her eyes turned luminous in the gloom, locking on mine with rage.
Shit.
I’d forgotten myself by feeling sorry for this beaten wraith, but she hadn’t forgotten her overwhelming hatred of men.
I didn’t look away. But I didn’t explain myself, either.
I’d borrowed her for the night. If I wanted to touch her, I could. The fact that she’d leapt away meant I could report her to her master and have her punished.
Or you could punish her instead.
The distance between us grew thicker as we breathed fast.
I waited…wanting to know just how deep her education in pleasure flowed. Tearing her gaze from mine, she swallowed hard. Piece by piece, she hid her loathing, replacing it with reluctant acceptance.
Inching closer, her toes nudged aside sharp blades as she made her way to me and fell to her knees on the cold concrete.
Half of me jolted with insane lust. Most of me shied away with repulsion as her straggly hair covered her face but not before I saw the twisted disgust and echoing despair.
“Get up,” I murmured. Even though my voice was low, the cavern of the garage amplified it, layering it with bite.
Instantly, she swooped up. The crackle of her joints and misused cartilage in her bones sounded like tiny gunfire.
“Don’t kneel. Not in here.”
