Mona Lisa
St. James made a deathbed promise that she would do anything to save her
mother's art gallery. Unfortunately, not only is The Red painted red, but it's
in the red. She soon realizes she has no choice but to sell it.
Just as she
realizes she has no choice but to sell it, a mysterious man comes in after
closing time and makes her an offer: He will save The Red if she agrees to
submit to him for the period of one year.
The man is
handsome, English, and terribly tempting...but surely her mother didn't mean
for Mona to sell herself to a stranger. Then again, she did promise to do
anything to save The Red...
The Red is
a standalone novel of erotic fantasy from Tiffany Reisz, international
bestselling author of The Bourbon Thief and the Original Sinners series.

Liza’s Review:
The Red is a novel
written by Nora Sutherlin in the amazing Original Sinners series from Tiffany
Reisz. I have had my signed copy on my bookshelf since last October, but had
held off reading it because I didn't want to mess up the beautiful book.
Seriously, Tiffany went all out with this book and so I waited to read it until
I had the digital copy on my kindle.
I have to say The Red
is different from pretty much any other book I've ever read. Mona agrees to an
arrangement with Malcolm to have sex with him for one year in order to save her
mother's beloved art gallery The Red. I had no issues with this arrangement as
they were both consenting adults and Mona loved the gallery every bit as much
as her mother. Each encounter between them is set to a specific piece of art,
which I found fascinating, and ended up googling the pieces or art I didn’t
know as I was reading.
There were times I absolutely was shaking my head along with
Mona wondering how everything that was happening could be happening. Other
times I adored everything that was going on during the scene. The passion
between Mona and Malcolm was off the charts hot. Yet there were times when I
almost felt like things went too far...well actually there was really only one
scene that was too much for me, but it still didn't keep me from finishing the
book as I needed to know more about Malcolm.
I'd like to say the reveal of everything about Malcolm in the
end came to be a total shock, but it made complete and perfect sense for the
story. The Red was a complex
and erotic fantasy, which I found myself loving at times and questioning what
the hell was going on at others. While The
Red is not my favorite book from Tiffany Reisz, I'm glad I had the
opportunity to read the book her characters from the Original Sinners series
loved so much. I do look forward to giving other books her character Nora
Sutherlin might want to publish in the future.
