Story
Ren didn't know the meaning of love until he took Della for his own. To begin with, he hated her, but as the months bled into years, he learned the opposite of hate, dedicating his life to giving her everything. Every sacrifice, every gift, he gave wholeheartedly. But then love turned to lust and ruined everything.

Story
I first met him when he was 14 at a movie premiere of all places. A movie based on his parent's life. He was stoic, strong, suspicious, and secretive. I was only 10, but I felt something for him. A strange kind of heartbreak that made me want to hug and heal him. I was the daughter of the actor hired to play his father. We shared similarities. I recognized parts of him because they were parts of me. But no matter how many times we met. No matter how many times I tried. He stayed true to his vow to never fall.

A house hidden in the middle of nowhere. A man who’s lived alone for a decade. A woman who trespasses on his solitude. A love full of hate, as well as hunger. The thing about my life is...I was never in control of it. I just I thought I was.I thought I had everything figured out - a good career, fun hobbies, a bright future, but everything changed when I found an ivy-cloaked house, tucked in a forgotten valley, hiding a man who corrupted my world forever.I thought I was successful, until he showed me fortune and happiness could be snatched away in an instant.

Story
Once upon a time, I was an 18-year-old psychology student. Now, I'm a man's property. Stolen and sold, I've been decorated in bruises since the day my world changed two years ago. I suffer in silence, I crave freedom, but I never break. I can't. Until he arrives. Elder Prest, the only man to look at me and see me. The only man more ruthless than my owner. He wants me for reasons I don't understand. He claims me for one night then leaves and never looks back. Until he returns. And life becomes much more complicated.

“Must be slim, able to stand for long periods of time, and be impervious to the cold.” The headline caught my attention. “Hours are negotiable, pay is minimal, clothing absolutely forbidden.” The second line piqued my curiosity. “Able to hold your bladder and tongue, refrain from opinions or suggestions, and be the perfect living canvas.” The third made me scowl. I should’ve kept scrolling past the advertisement. I should’ve applied for the boring receptionist job at minimum wage. I should’ve clicked on any other job where I got to keep my clothes on. But I didn’t.

I don't want to touch it. I really, really don't. He's egotistical, crass, and my patient's owner - which makes him totally off limits. Yep, that's right. He owns the wiener dog I'm currently working on. I've also worked on his Spoodle, his Cocker-shitzu, and a Cheagle - don't ask. It doesn't help that he also represents most of my jointly-owned veterinary practice's small clientele. We'd only just opened the doors a few months ago, and in he strode with a yelping Taco Terrier. One haughty look at our sparkling new facilities, he'd demanded royal treatment.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

Captivating and Emotional Romance!
- By kgagnon on 12-17-21
Publisher's Summary
From New York Times best seller Pepper Winters comes one of her best tales yet...
"What do you do when you meet your soul mate? No wait...that's too easy. What do you do when you meet your soul mate and have to spend a lifetime loving him in secret? I'll tell you what you do. You lie."
REN
Ren was eight when he learned that love doesn't exist - that the one person who was supposed to adore him only cared how much he was worth. His mother sold him and for two years, he lived in terror.
But then...he ran.
He thought he'd run on his own. Turned out, he took something of theirs by accident and it became the one thing he never wanted and the only thing he ever needed.
DELLA
I was young when I fell in love with him, when he switched from my world to my everything. My parents bought him for cheap labor, just like they had with many other kids, and he had the scars to prove it. At the start, he hated me, and I could understand why. For years he was my worst enemy, fiercest protector, and dearest friend. But by the end...he loved me. The only problem was, he loved me in an entirely different way to the way I loved him. And slowly, my secret drove us apart.
Critic Reviews
"The Boy and his Ribbon really does deserve all the 5 stars, all the accolades and all the praise it's already receiving. Ren and Della are characters that will stay with me for a long time." (Hopeless Romantics Book Blog)
"I think this is it. The best book I have ever read and I have read a lot of books. Pepper's writing in this book is beyond superb." (Wanton Book Lover Blog)
"This book. God, this book is one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Without a doubt and with so much confidence I can say and will say this is the best book of 2018. (6 stars, S, Goodreads reviewer)

How do you rate your heart?
I am trying to remove myself from the cliffhanger because I just hate them so much, especially ones that are so epic the reader can’t move on with their life. I don’t think it’s nice to the reader, but that is my opinion not a judgment on the book.
So walking away from how salty I am over that, this book was magnificent. It was a landscape painting full of vivid colors and characters that were expertly drawn up into the readers minds.
The slowest of burns, I wanted to blow on the fire and have it spread a little faster but by the end, I was grateful that I was patient and glad that the fire was still at a manageable level because now we have a month to wait for book 2 and I couldn’t take it if the fire was raging and then we had to wait.
Slightly taboo, but only for those that don’t know or read taboo. If you do, then it won’t be any skin off your back.
Hayden Bishop is one of my favorite for this age group of characters. She is just perfect. She has that tone. Will Watt was amazing too. I must say that this was a complete waste of his accent as he spoke in an American accent but it was ok because I loved it and I love him.

I hate to leave this review
I love Pepper's writing. I love this story. BUT, the beginning of this story damn near had me walk away. From the neglect Ren has endured, half of the thing he describes in the beginning, he would have no clue of what they are. It was so off balance and unrealistic. Narration, I can't imagine the job it takes to stay in character, however that is what a narrator is paid to do. There are a couple spots in this book where the accent is either completely different or not there at all.
With all that being said, I still truly love this story! I am dying waiting for a Girl and her Ren! If you can forgive the few miss steps, you need to listen to this story

Use the right accents!
An interesting story. 3 stars. A little repetitive. 3 stars. But the thing that gives it 2 stars (too generous?) is that when a British person writes a book and uses words like “poppet,” “rucksack,” “lounge & corridor—for living room and hallway,” and a number of other words WHY are the people in the story American & SOUTHERN??? It is utterly annoying to have the combination. Some pronunciations were off as well...

OMG, this book is one of the best books I've listened to.
This story was amazing. I felt many emotions listening to this story.
Ren and Della's story is one I will never forget. I can't wait for the next book!!!!
Please do yourself a favor and just buy it, it's a wonderful listen. The narrators did a fantastic job, making each character it's own.
Thank you Pepper Winters!

Great story, characters, and FANTASTIC narrators!!
This book starts out a little differently than most of the other Pepper Winters books that I've read, and I believe I have read and listened to almost all of them, as she is one of my most favored authors. This book made laugh and cry and made me so frustrated that Ren wouldn't open his eyes. If you read it you'll see what I'm talking about, but I don't want to give away any spoilers. So, if you like a great storyline, extremely touching characters, and a hint of a forbidden romance, do yourself a very big favor and give this one a chance. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing and Wonderful!
This story is SOOOO GOOOOD I seriously contemplated using sick time to listen instead of work... This duet is all the things! Beautifully and skillfully performed by Will Watt and Hayden Bishop. Just WOW!! I have been brought to everything from giggles to tears by this story of suspenseful angst, pure love, sacrifice, wanting, and self discovery. I just started book 2. Pepper Winters is a master! This story is breaking me into little tiny pieces over and over again, and I can't believe I waited this long to read it. Again - WOW! This is my first time hearing Will with a southern accent. You are a brilliant auditory chameleon! This is my first book narrated by Hayden Bishop and she is really talented! I will definitely listen to more of her narration.

Not for the faint hearted but highly recommended
I rate this highly because of its unconventional tale which is well written from both Ren and Della's perspective. This isn't a romance as such and it certainly didnt exert sentimentality. It is raw and innocent, a coming of age story that will churn your emotions.. I'm talking rollercoaster, washing machine gut wrenching turbulence. It is rare a story will have you reevaluate your morals; I have no idea what I want for these characters or where I want them to end up. I admired Ren's work ethic and sacrifice to Della, the loss of his childhood and the trauma of his past, the passion he holds for the outdoors which he ingrained in Della.
This story is tragic as it is wholesome and joyous; tense as it is uninhibited, pure as it is tainted. This story is not black and white but a kaleidoscope of grey and I loved every bit of it and will devour the next instalment immediately.

A beautiful story
This story is unlike anything I’ve listened to before. It is so well written, so full of emotion and richness, I felt everything the characters felt from chapter 1. I love that you grew up with the characters and felt the angst so strongly as the dynamic of the relationship changed. My heart broke with them all the way to the end and I can’t wait to listen to the next book. I’ll be honest and say that the middle third of the book was a little drawn out at times but this didn’t deter me and ultimately I think it was important for understanding the developing relationship of Della and Ren. By the end I couldn’t give this any less than 5 stars. Well done, Pepper.

Best book Ever
What can i say about this book, i loved every word of it. I was especially moved by how Will M Watt portrayed Ren. I don't think any other person would have captured the character like he did. Truly amazing. If you haven't read or listened to this book, please do yourself a favor and read it. You will not be disappointed. I'd give it 100 stars if i could

Addictive
Pepper has throughly surprised me with this book. Never in my life as a reader i have come across a book like this. This story is so unusual yet so real its seems touchable, livable as if you are looking as it through binoculars or keeping a ghostly present beside Della & Ren and watching this tale unfold.. its mesmerising, enchanting, alluring & unstoppable. You just can't stop at this as you have to finish it with the next part..the experience of reading is undescribable. Just read it to have a life long experience of reading a treasure...

pure perfection
this was my first audio book and what a book !! Totally different to what I've read from Pepper Winters before, boy did she do a fantastic job, bringing all the angst and heart ache and feels to me from the start . I loved Ren and Della and can't wait to read some more.
The dual narrating was great , especially the voice of Ren , he was brought alive ,as if talking to me , 5 worthy stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pure love
This is the sort of book where you feel like you should clutch your chest when you hear about love so fierce and pure and sweet.
I nearly quit listening after 5 minutes of listening to that guy’s voice but it kind of grows on you.

not impressed
i struggled with this book. The narrators voice drove me batty. He always spoke in an over excited incredulous tone of voice as though the sky was about to fall any second. Drove me NUTS! The girls narration better. Sorry but this book dragged..interesting in parts but i lost interest 3/4 of the way through.

Never read anything like this before. I have read most of Pepper’s books and loved them, so I knew I was going to most likely love this one too. Essentially seeing everyone else’s words about it. But I didn’t expect to love it this much. Completely different then what I expected, but good, amazing different! I love both Ren and Della so much. Probably my top two characters in any book I have ever read.
