Pepper, my Queen. Thank you so much for this amazing journey...

**If you haven't read the previous books this review may contain spoilers for you. Read only if you've finished the series**

"You're the sunbeam in my black diamond..."



The extended epilogue brings us months and then years after the ending of the last debt. Nila and Jethro have been trying to erase the bad memories of the debts, making a home at Hawksridge replacing old and hurtful memories, with new lovely ones. We see the changes that this new life holds for them. What happens with the brotherhood and the diamonds , with their businesses and the relationships that stay behind. We see them moving on from the past's ghosts and making a family on their own, with their beloved ones by their side. The few family members and friends that have remained that is.

"I want to chase you again, Nila."





I really loved this epilogue. I love this type of epilogues going forward to the future to let you have a glimpse about your favorite characters and how their lives have shaped. I may be cynical but deep down I'm a romantic heart and I love the whole package of weddings and children. So yes, I was very pleased and satisfied to read this epilogue.

"I mean- marriage to me isn't a simple ceremony and celebration. Marriage is like your collar. A one-time deal. Never to break, binding us together until death do us part. Just like there will never be another necklace, there will never be goodbye between us. No opportunity to sever what we've found."




I think it was right to have it's own book ,because it took us step by step on their future. And can I say how much I loved their fairytale in the ending?? I was thinking about it, so watching Pepper actually writing how they explained to their kids their parents story, it was priceless. Once more I can't help but feel grateful. And I'm sorry for wanting a HEA for my favorite characters as fucked up as they were and as messed up their story was. Sorry that I'm not sorry actually.

"But you didn't let the bad prince take Mummy, did you?"
"I did."
"No! Why?"
"Because...I was the bad prince."

Nila And Jethro's Happily Ever After

This "epilogue" was a nice little extra. In contrast to the darker themes of earlier books in the Indebted Series, this quick read provides the "unicorns and rainbows" part of the story. We are given a glimpse of life for the happy couple spanning from the end of 'Final Debt' to approximately five years later.

In addition, 'Indebted Epilogue' explores other relationships a bit more. The siblings are basking in their newfound freedom as well. New relationships are forged as these two families create a new future and leave the past behind.

All in all, I liked this quick addition to the series. It was nice to see that things did all work out in the end, especially with all the doom and gloom of the earlier books. Sometimes, a little light is good to offset the darkness.

A quick and sexy novella that gives us a glimpse into Jethro and Nila’s happily ever after!

I am glad we were treated to their future as some parts of their past was very hard to swallow! The series was so dark and even in the conclusion we get so little of this couple’s good times. It was a nice treat to dive into this epilogue and have some feel good moments!

An added bonus was that we got to see Vaughn and Jasmine’s future too. I loved them and was pleasantly surprised to see what the future holds for them!

A perfect conclusion to a very complex series!

This was the HEA ending to a long and painful series. A much needed shot of happiness emerging from a world of pain and vengeance. Honestly, I think it should have been included at the end of the last book. And... after all that pain, so much sweet was almost hard to swallow. Maybe I'm a masochist at heart, but my teeth were getting sore from the amount of sugar infused in this HEA. Glad I read it... yes. It was a much needed salve for the wounds inflicted earlier. But a separate book... I'd say.... no.

“I’m a woman who’s chosen her soul-mate. I’m strong enough to love you unconditionally. I’m smart enough to know some days will be good and some days will be bad. And I’m brave enough to solemnly swear that we will be together until the end.”


Should you read it? I would say yes. But know it is short, and SWEET!



Enjoy!

This epilogue is so sweet, steamy and romantic. A much needed break from all those dark stuffs that made me cringe. It's definitely a quick read and finished in one sitting. GAH. I swooned over this. It's so adorable. :) I'm gonna miss this dark romance series.

Just as we thought it was all over, that we'd heard the last from the Hawks and the Weavers, Pepper Winters goes and throws us one hell of a bone with this epilogue. OMG did I squeal with excitement when I found out there was just one more little bit to come. This really was the icing on the cake when it comes to the "Indebted Series" giving the readers such a perfect conclusion to this crazy, amazing story that really did tie up everything with the prettiest of bows.
"life isn't meant to be generic and follow a pre-approved script. If it did, where would be the adventures... the dragon slaying knights and the unicorn riding princesses?"

The tone of this book was different to what we are used to and I never thought I'd hear myself saying it but this final instalment was sweet and kinda endearing. If you wanted to know whether there were wedding bells and kids and picture perfect Happily Ever Afters, then this book will let you know. Spanning several years (almost ten I think), it covers a number of relationships and gives us several POV too.

Again, I know I'm being vague but if you haven't read book #6, I really don't want to give anything away. Both books need to enjoyed without any spoilers. What I will say is that, this book is full of fab little surprises and right up until the last page, I found myself giddy with excitement.

I cannot wait for people to read this epilogue. I'm so desperate to talk about it so hurry up, savour it and then let's chat.

I rated "The Epilogue" ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

“Once upon a time, there was a seamstress named Needle and Thread.”


Perfection! This was the ending that I wanted after reading Final Debt. It just wraps everything up into a nice little story and I got those nice and fuzzy feelings. While I hate that this series is over, Jethro and Nila will stay with me for a long time. And if you are wondering how it ends...

“The only way such a tale can end...
...
They lived happily ever after.”

Okay FINALLY THE END

Just when I thought I couldn’t love Jethro anymore, I did.

”You’re the sunbeam to my black diamond…”
-what a apt analogy!

I’ve realised that I would in fact read anything this author writes.
Her words just flow and come together so easily.
Her writing may be my favourite type to read.

I throughly enjoyed this series.
(I only wanted more of Vaughn and Jasmine.)

I loved the way it ended
Jethro and Nila....

FULL REVIEW TO COME

Incredible
Stunning
Heartbreaking
Powerful
Captivating
Magical
Dangerously Sexy

That's just a few words to describe this series.
It's OVER and I feel so lost.
I have lost a piece of my heart.. I feel so emotional, I don't want to say goodbye but I've had too and I just feel like a piece of my soul is missing now, not just my heart.
Prepare yourself ladies for one of the most anticipated books of the year. Don't rush take your time because once it's over there is no going back, you'll be walking around in a daze.
Simply perfection!

Jethro Hawk will ALWAYS own me, heart body and soul.

''My destiny might've been to kill you, but I've rewritten fate. Now, I'm going to do everything in my power to make you immortal.'' My heart skipped at the passionate vow in his tone. ''How will you do that?'' He nudged my nose with his. ''By turning our duo into a family. By making you a mother.''

description
Bu seriyi okurken nasıl gerim gerim gerildiğim daha dün gibi aklımda. Ve bundan sapıkça bir zevk aldığım da... 'Indebted Epilogue' da 6 kitabın arkasından adeta yemekten sonra yenen şerbetli tatlı gibiydi. Jethro ve Nila'nın inişli çıkışlı maceralarının sonunda aşkları uğruna verdikleri emeğin meyvelerini topladıklarını gördüm. Gerçek anlamda meyveleri *kıps* Bütün karakterler adına gerçekleşen tüm gelişmeler ve oluşan yepisyeni bir Hawk ailesi 10 numara 5 yıldız olmuş.
description
Daha fazla Vaughn & Jasmine okumak isterdim ama kim bilir belki Winters bu konuda bir sürpriz yapar. Bekliyoruz efenim *_* Başıma bir iş gelmeyecekse Jethro'nun okuduğum en seksi auraya sahip karakter olduğunu ilan ediyorum. Ya bakın şöyle ki Nila'ya istemediği takdirde soyadını almak zorunda olmadığını söylüyor. Şimdiye kadar okuduğum hiçbir karakter de böyle teklif yapmadı. Sen mükemmel ötesisin Jethro 'Kite' Hawk!
description
''I married a goddess.'' I chuckled. ''No, you married a Weaver.'' He nipped my lobe. ''And now she's a Hawk.''

''I loved you when you were Kite007. I loved you when you were Jethro Hawk, and I loved you when you finally became mine.''

''There's darkness inside all of us. Some of us let it rule us. Some of us let it destroy us. And some of us rise to the challenge and fight it.''

Altı kitap boyunca öyle şeyler yaşadılar ki aslında bundan da fazlasını haketti Jethro ve Nila. Okuduğum en iyi serilerden ve ona yaraşır bir epilog olmuştu. Seri boyunca olduğu gibi öldüm ama bu sefer sadece mutluluktan öldüm.

Pepper serinin dizi olmasıyla ilgili bir yorum yazmıştı kitabın bir yerinde… dibine kadar katılıyorum! Straz tarafından dizi yapıldığını görmek isterim başkasına yâr etmesin bu seriyi!

♡“ We all matched. A family.”

♡“ Do you, Jethro ‘Kite’ Hawk, take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife, for now and forever, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?”
I didn’t need to think. “I do.” A thousand times, I do.”
“And do you, Nila Threads Weaver, take this man as your lawfully wedded husband, for now and forever, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?”
Nila shook her head.
Shook her head? What the fuck?
Smiling, she murmured, “I take him now and forever but not for as long as we both shall live.” She squeezed my fingers, her eyes glinting. “Far beyond that. For eternity.”

♡“ Speaking into her mouth, I whispered, “Seeing as you changed the rules, I have another one to add to your vow. I swear to love you forever. You are no longer indebted to me. I’m indebted to you. My heart is in your debt. My happiness. My very life is yours.”

♡“ The first time I’d stolen Nila, I’d threatened him and taken her without his approval. This time, he willingly gave her to me to safeguard because he knew without a doubt I would die for her, I would fight for her…I would change history for her.”

♡“ We did it.” His voice teased with disbelief. “We’re married.”
I nodded, a little breathless and a lot nervous. “We are.”
“You’re mine.”
“I’m yours.”
“There are no more debts. No more threats.”
I moved toward him, stepping onto the silver rug he stood on. Our bodies swayed as a current rocked the yacht, but our eyes never unlocked. “We’re free.”

♡“ I looked over my shoulder. “Husband.” Loving the way his eyes hooded, I breathed, “That’s what you are now. Husband. My husband.”
His mouth parted, dangerous darkness stealing over him. “Say it again.”
I didn’t care my dress was only half undone, I rolled onto my back, slipping beneath his inert hands. “Husband.”
His gaze dropped to the front corset of my gown. “That word makes me hard.”
The spaghetti straps slid off my shoulders, tickling my skin. “How hard?”
“So fucking hard.”
“Show me.”
He gulped. “Show you?”
I nodded, reaching for his tented slacks. “I want to see.”
Darting out of my grip, he climbed off the bed, a slow burn building in his gaze. “Why do you want to see?”
Coyness slipped into my blood. He wanted to play? I could play.
Sitting up on my knees, I struggled against the imprisoning nature of the silk layers and licked my lips. “Because it’s mine and I want to see what my marriage has bought me.”

♡“ I was drunk.
Not on liquor or intoxicating substances but on happiness.
Pure, unadulterated happiness.
Such a cliché expression: I’m drunk on happiness. But for the first time in my life, I could positively say it was true.”


♡“ This right here.
This was happiness.
And I was no longer drunk on it.
I was infested by it.
This was my family.
My new chosen family.
We won.”

♡“ Kes balled his tiny fists. “But you didn’t let the bad prince take Mummy, did you?”
I lowered my voice, turning grave. “I did.”
“No! Why?”
“Because…I was the bad prince. I’d been given a task to prove I was royal enough to inherit the realm and faraway castles, but no matter how bad I was, Needle had a magic I couldn’t fight.”

♡“ So the bad prince hurt Needle?” Emma whispered.”
“Yes, he gave her to the trolls in the forest to extract tolls and payments for things she hadn’t done.”
“If she hadn’t done them, then why could they do that?”
“Because they thought they were better than her and she owed them.”
“That’s mean.” Emma pushed out her bottom lip. “Stupid trolls.”
“I know,” I agreed. “Very unfair and against every law of the land they lived in.”
“So…what happened?” Kes asked, his face alight with interest.
“Yes, Kite, then what happened?” Nila brushed her lips across mine, her soul sewn completely to mine. “If the story started so cruelly, how does it end?”
I had the perfect answer.
The only answer.
The most brilliant thirteen-word reply ever uttered.
Kissing my wife and hugging my children, I murmured, “The only way such a tale can end...

They lived happily ever after.”

So, remember in my last review when I said I got all my answers, and I was happy? I lied! NOW I have every answer!

I am so HAPPY that Pepper decided to go above and beyond to write this epilogue, and give us even more perspective into the story! If you read the series, then you NEED to read this. It’s short, especially compared to the other books, but packs just as big, if not a bigger punch than all the others.

I am very sad that this is the end, for now, but it gives me even more reason to go back and reread them all! ~ Devlynn, 5 stars

~~~

What a perfect ending to this amazing story! I was so glad that Ms. Winters decided to give us a glimpse into Jethro and Nila’s future after the Debt Inheritance ended.

“I swear to love you forever. You are no longer indebted to me. I’m indebted to you. My heart is in your debt. My happiness. My very life is yours.”

I loved seeing their future as well as get closure on that certain secret that popped up in the final book. I also adore Jax and Vaughn together and was so happy to see them doing well. I would love a book about them at some point down the road! I am super excited to read the Indebted Beginnings as well. This series was just fantastic! ~ Tiffany, 4.5 stars

How can you write a review for an epilogue to one of the most tumultuous series I've read without giving anything away? It's impossible, so I'm not going to.

What I will tell you is that if you haven't read the first six incredibly written books that make up the Indebted series, you are seriously missing out!

They're not for the faint-hearted. They're dark, twisted, gut-wrenching, hopeful, passionate, loving, buoyant, promising and optimistic. They'll take you on an incredible journey, travelling the history of two families, tied together in the cruelest way imaginable.

This, book #7 in the series, is the epilogue and finishes off this part of the series perfectly. I honestly can't go into any details but after reading the first six, you'll definitely want to read Indebted Epilogue.

Pepper Winters is a true wordsmith. A talented author who has the ability to transport you right into her books. You feel every emotion, every ache, every caress. I'd happily devour anything written by this gifted and accomplished lady!

I'm also extremely excited to see that William's story is in the making and I'll be waiting to get my greedy hands on it in Indebted Beginnings.

I was so pleased with the end to Final Debt but I needed some more Jethro and Nila. A little more story. I needed my dessert! And this was the perfect dessert with a cherry on top.
This short epilogue revealed so much and even though I was expecting some of it, it still hit right home for me.
This is of course about Jethro and Nila but Vaughn and Jasmine is also present with some great story.
While I was reading the epilogue I couldn't stop smiling. I felt the love. The love these characters have for each other but also my love for them.
This has been an exhausting and beautiful ride. I've loved and enjoyed every book. I'm not much for historical pieces but Pepper Winters definitely put her twist on it and made it hers. I'm so glad so shared her story. She gave debt another meaning.

Pepper is amazing

Not once was I disappointed. Nila has gone through so much, but it has made her stronger. Jethro is definitely my most favorite character. I loved him from the beginning, even though he was horrible in the first book.

If there was ever a couple in the world who deserves and earned their happily ever after it's this one. 😍😍
Reading this was bittersweet. Sweet because happy and fluffy and babies named after lost loved ones. Bitter because it's over, this series has had my full attention past couple weeks and I'm a little sad it's over.
Luckily there are plenty of books waiting. And everything by miss Winters is on the must read list!!
