Release Blitz: When a Moth Loved a Bee by Pepper Winters

When a Moth Loved a Bee by Pepper Winters is now live! 

New York Times Bestseller, Pepper Winters, delivers a brand new High Fantasy Romance. 

“It’s taking everything I have not to touch you. Not because I want to make you mine but because every part of me screams that you already are.” 
A pack of wolves hunt a girl who takes her last breath by a river’s edge. 

She is found and nursed back to health by the kind-hearted Nhil people. 

She has no memory. 

No past. 

And is given a choice that could change her forgotten life forever. 

A pack of wolves adopt a man who begs for death in the grasslands. 

Blood revives him. Flesh strengthens him. All while the alpha watches him as if he knows who he is. 

He has no memory. 

No past. 

And yet…he’s drawn toward the smoke of a faraway clan. 

And in that smoke, he finds a girl with the same mark on her thigh, the same empty mind, and the same forgotten language on her lips. 

He’s convinced they know each other. 

She’s certain they are strangers. 

But the more time they spend together, the more tangled the truth becomes. 

Their forgetfulness was deliberate. 

To keep them apart. 

To keep them lost. 

To keep them from claiming their true power. 

Because in that power exists a terrible choice. 

A choice that could destroy the world… 

…or each other. 

When a Moth Loved a Bee is the first volume in the Epic Fantasy Romance Destini Chronicles. 

A heavily romantic, spice-filled fantasy set in a world where life and death, shadows and stars watch over two forbidden lovers whose powers are best left forgotten.
 

I have to first state that I enjoy reading Pepper Winters' stories. Pepper is a phenomenal writer. This author can weave a tale with brilliant and realistic imagery and character descriptions like you wouldn't believe! With that said, I am not too much of a fan of this particular story.

The writing was still wonderful.
The characters were well-developed and multi-dimensional.
The imagery popped off the pages.
The settings and scenarios were fleshed out thoroughly.

My only problems were with the length of time it took to get to the "interesting" parts. There was a lot of repetition that could have been eliminated to clinch the story. 

Next was due to a specific scene, an assault that occurred that was handled in a way that, well, was not to this reader's liking. The ramifications of a specific character's actions were not dealt with in a way that was pleasing to me. But, in a way, I do understand the author's purpose behind this decision. I just wish it didn't have to be.

All-in-all, this was a solid 3.5 star read for me; not because of the writing or talents but for the reasons I stated above.

I will still continue to be a fan of this author and read future stories.


A girl and a stranger are wandering, bith searching for something that they don’t know – just that they need to find it. Close to death, they both are rescued. A girl is saved by the Nihl tribe, while the stranger is rescued and claimed by a pack of wolves. Neither can remember their past, but when they stumble across each other, the stranger feels as if he knows the girl from somewhere but the girl remembers nothing. The more time they spend together, the more their past starts to reveal itself. And it becomes clearer that they forgot for a reason.
 
This story is extremely slow for me in the beginning and felt slightly repetitive. I know that it was building the base but I felt some of the back and forth could’ve been condensed. Once you hit the halfway mark, it does pick up in speed and intrigue. I wanted to equal parts shake the girl for her naivety and commend her for her loyalty. This does end on a cliffhanger and I am very interested in seeing how this story plays out.
