[Review] The Mistress - Tiffany Reisz

Released: July 30th, 2013

There's punishment - and then there's vengeance.

Nora Sutherlin is being held, bound and naked. Under different circumstances, she would enjoy the situation immensely, but her captor isn't interested in play. Or pity.

As the reality of her impending peril unfolds, Nora becomes Scheherazade, buying each hour of her life with stories - sensual tales of Søren, Kingsley and Wesley, each of whom has tempted and tested and tortured her in his own way. This, Nora realizes, is her life: nothing so simple, so vanilla, as a mere love triangle for her. It's a not in a silken cord, a tangled mass of longings of the body and the heart and the mind. And it may unravel at any moment.

But in Nora's world, no one is ever truly powerless - a cadre of her friends, protectors and lovers stands ready to do anything to save her, even when the only certainty seems to be sacrifice and heartbreak . . . 

"I gave them my death as a gift . . . and now I'm taking my gift back."

WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ FROM THE BEGINNING. MAJOR SPOILERS!!!

And I can assure you that the series is most definitely not a disappointing read. So, if you haven't read it, SHOO! VAMOOSE! (is that how you spell it?) and go read it first! For those, who have, you may enter ;)

FUCK FUCKETY FUCK HOLY SHIT. Pardon my French, Kingsley would've been proud. This book was so freaking intense.

I AM SO NOT OKAAAY. But it wasn't with the ending. Fuck, Tiffany Reisz wrote another beautiful book with the same hilarious, captivating, bewitching, enlightening characters and such engrossing, horrifying, passionate plot. This book gave me so much feels especially with Søren. My God, that man scares me half to death and fascinates the fuck out of me. He's just so different and intriguing. 

So, if you've read the first three books then you know what's going on, so I'm going to go and spoil it, since it was mentioned in The Prince. Marie-Lurie, Søren's psychopath bridezilla, had captured Nora. The third book's ending was a cliffhanger so I'm just so damn happy that this one had a real ending.

Okay, honestly, I thought this one was going to be pretty boring and, fffuuuu, Tiffany has done it again. I mean, the blurb sounded so casual. I've been disappointed so many times by books that had such great first novels that ended with a cliffy and then continued in the second book. The second one was fucking horrible. I mean it, it's usually so bad that I want to weep that the author ruined such a good series. But, damn, did Mistress Reisz prove me wrong again.

Marie-Lurie apparently didn't die when Søren and Kingsley were still at St. Ignatius. She faked her death and escaped to live life for a while. Until a coincidental sighting reminded her of all the pain in her past. So she's ready to seek revenge. Her targets? Her husband and brother.

The only way to hurt Søren was to threaten his Little One, and that was Nora. So holy shit. That's exactly what she did. If you know Søren, then you should definitely be afraid of him. Everyone is. Well, with the exception of Nora, who well, doesn't fear anyone basically. Yes, Marie-Lurie had some real guts to hurt Søren.

The book kept alternating between third person point of views. Omniscient of course. With Nora, you get to hear her exciting, super sexy tales of her sexcapades with Søren, Kingsley, Wes and Griffin. With Grace (YES! Zach's wife does show up here), you get to see how she feels about everything: Søren, Nora's abduction, the world her husband was in awhile back. With Kingsley, you get to feel his despair and pain as he faces the possibility of losing the one man he's ever loved. With Wes, you could hear the panic and worry he goes through while thinking about Nora's safety. And finally, with Laila (Søren's darling niece), you see how much she loves her 'onkel' and 'tante', how she's worried for them both, and also how she falls in love.

And of course, Søren's thoughts remained untouched, which I absolutely loved from Tiffany Reisz. She keeps Søren's mysterious vibe going. But, I LOVED LOVED LOOOOVED how she made Søren open up more in this book. In the previous books, we see this man who's so close and alike to God, who everyone worships and fears and loves. He seems so untouchable. But here, we see his human side. The author creates Søren as a character so complex. He seemed so fearless at first but then his most beloved gets taken away from him, and he becomes so vulnerable and hurt. He panics and freaks out. He goes through so many complicated emotions because he lost his Little One.

When Søren and Nora first met, he knew straightaway that he belonged to her and she did him:

"Because there is nothing I wouldn't do to protect you, Eleanor. Nothing I wouldn't do to help you. And nothing I wouldn't do to save you. Nothing."

HOLY SHIT RIGHT. And God, I love Nora and Søren together because they're lovers and they're somehow best friends too. Only Nora knew how to be so fearless when facing Søren.

Grace: "You call her Little One?"

Søren: "I always have. She was a teenager when we met. A very ill-mannered teenager. She demanded to know why I was so tall. She insinuated I had grown this tall simply for attention."

Grace: "Only Nora could be rude and flirtatious at the same time."

Søren: "I explained to her that I was tall so I could hear God's voice better. And since I was taller and could hear Him better, she should always listen to me. That didn't sit very well with her. She retorted the next day with a verse from Psalm 114. 'The Lord keeps the little ones.' Her biblical proof that God prefers short people. I started calling her Little One after that." 

OH, and another of my favorites:

Søren: "She wasn't [terrified of him]. You know her first words she ever said to me . . . I remember them like yesterday. She said, 'You're kind of an idiot, you know that, right?'"

Honestly, I could go on and on about how flawless this book is. The characters were so amazingly developed. We see how they've changed and grown from the previous books, aside from Nora of course. Even when facing death with Marie-Lurie, she's still the funny person she usually is.

Marie-Lurie: "Simply trying to see what he sees in you. My husband, I mean. I'm not finding it yet."

Nora: "I give great head."

JESUS CHRIST NORA. THIS WOMAN COULD KILL YOU AND THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY

Marie-Lurie: "I even gave him until noon on Friday to make up his mind about us. High noon. I've seen too many movies, haven't I?"

Nora: "And not enough therapists."

Marie-Lurie: "You're disgusting."

Nora: "I'm doing the French thing. I'm down to one shower a week."

This book made me laugh like a hyena with Nora, cry like a freaking baby with Søren, and piss my pants worrying with all the tension and suspense in the book.

A DEFINITE MUST MUST READ. The Original Sinners Series is flawless and beautifully written. If you're really into erotica and you can handle extreme BDSM scenes, this is the series for you!

[Review] The Prince - Tiffany Reisz

Released: November 20th, 2012

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer… preferably in bed. That's always been Kingsley Edge's strategy with his associate, the notorious New York dominatrix Nora Sutherlin. But with Nora away in Kentucky, now it's Kingsley's chance to take her place at the feet of the only man he's ever wanted – Søren, Nora's on-again, off-again lover – until a new threat from an old enemy forces him to confront his past.

Wes Railey is still the object of Nora's tamest yet most maddening fantasies, and the one man she can't forget. He's young. He's wonderful. He's also thoroughbred royalty and she's in "his" world now. But Nora is no simpering Southern belle, and her dream of fitting into Wesley's world is perpetually at odds with her dear Søren's relentlessly seductive pull.

Two worlds of wealth and passion call to her and whichever one Nora chooses, it will be the hardest decision she will ever have to make… unless someone makes it for her…

"Love isn't a sin. It's the one thing you've told me I don't want to absolve you of."

Well, fuck, fuck, fuckety fuck. I dived into this book expecting not much actually. In all honesty, the summary sounded pretty average. I thought that Nora would probably suffer from living in the south because she couldn't fit in and bla bla bla. But man, did Tiffany Reisz prove. me. the. hell. wrong. I've learned my lesson to never expect anything from Miss Reisz because she always does the unexpected. By the end of the book, I was just:

This book was such a complete mindfuck. The story was so twisted and weaved so intricately that you could barely see anything coming. It was beautifully written and seductively sexy as hell at the same time. The characters are, as always, so well-thought and developed thoroughly.

The novel had two parts. The South and the North, so I shall begin to talk about them separately. This is going to be a pretty long review, so if you want the shorter version, you can check out my GR one here.

North: Here, we get a glimpse – scratch that, not a glimpse, but the whole fucking picture – of how Kingsley and Søren met. I never imagined them together in the first two books. I thought they were just connected through the Underground but man, they sure as hell weren't.

This part was also divided into two parts, their pasts and their present. The past gave us an insight and more ideas as to how their relationship started. More about Søren and his days as a student as well as Kingsley as the notorious player and an infatuation for the most-feared-student in Saint Ignatius. At times, Kingsley is still Kingsley

"I would miss my sins and they would miss me."

I loved how we finally delved into the Kingsley Edge's mind. We learn things from his perspective since it was written in third person but it was omniscient. We learn about his feelings, about how it all started with Søren.

I was like that most of the time. And then there's the present. Someone's going after Søren's associates. Everyone related to Søren and it's terrifying as hell. Søren who usually knows what's going on – since he seems to be a fucking mind-reader – doesn't know what's going on then. 

But I love love love how Tiffany Reisz kept Søren's thoughts as a mystery. We read it from Kingsley's, Nora's or Wes' point of views but never Søren's. Because that's just it! We will never ever know what this man is thinking. He's such an intriguing and complex character that I admire him more and more in every book.

South: Like I mentioned in the beginning, I was expecting really little from this section of the book. But, man, it was so freaking complicated!

I mean, Nora plunged into Wes' world, clearly not prepared for the grandeur and all the wealth. She was shocked by how "royal" the Raileys actually were but she acted with the normal Nora manner, treating it as something simple.

And Wesley, oh God, sweet Wesley:

"Because you'll go back to him. And I'll be alone again. And if I don't have my hate, what will I have?"

LET ME HUG YOU BOY.

Don't have that much to say about this section since it focused mostly on Nora and Wes' relationship and how hard it was for her to handle Wes' strong feelings towards her. Nora's only known one love before: Søren's. She knows that she loves both Søren and Wes but she wasn't prepared for the hurricane of Wes' feelings.

Most of the time I was just like:

Especially when Nora told Wes about the time she purposely fell and Søren was there.

Nora: "He told me to pick a number between one and one hundred. It's a game we play. Pick a number but you don't know what you're picking. Are you picking one lash or hundred lashes? Are you picking one kiss or one hundred kisses? I picked one hundred. He started to count the one hundred different things he loved about me."

I fell in love with Søren right then. I just dived head first into love with him. Because, Jesus Christ, this man knew when she needed what she needed. This man knew Nora like no one ever did.

Overall: It was just this giant mind-blowing, mindfucking, clusterfuck-filled, sexy as hell twisted tale. Tiffany Reisz continues to prove to me that she is such a genius with her words – always blowing me away with her work. Not only is this book erotic and sexy, it was thoughtful and well-written as well as thoroughly elaborated. The mystery and the suspense is definitely a plus!

Definitely loved how she alternated between the south and the north and, at the end of every section, she'd finish it off with a mini cliffhanger. It just builds up the suspense and our anticipation for the next scenes. It keeps the story cycling and keeps our curiosity rolling.

My overall reaction:

And a question to Tiffany:

HOW IS IT OKAY TO END THE BOOK THAT WAY???

So damn excited for The Mistress!

[Review] The Angel - Tiffany Reisz

Released: June 24th, 2012

Infamous erotica author and accomplished dominatrix Nora Sutherlin is doing something utterly out of character: hiding. While her longtime lover, Søren - whose fetishes, if exposed, would be his ruin - is under scrutiny pending a major promotion, Nora's lying low and away from temptation in the lap of luxury.

Her host, the wealthy and uninhibited Griffin Fiske, is thrilled to have Nora stay at his country estate, especially once he meets her travelling companion. Young, inexperienced, angelically beautiful, Michael has become Nora's protégé, and this summer with Griffin is going to be his training, where the hazing never ends.

But while her flesh is willing, Nora's mind is wandering. To thoughts of Søren, her master, under investigation by a journalist with an ax to grind. And to another man from Nora's past, whose hold on her is less bruising but whose secrets are no less painful. It's a summer that will prove the old adage: love hurts.

"We value the most what we must sacrifice to have."

JUST LET ME DIE OKAY. PLEASE JUST TAKE ME NOW. Ughh, this is another brilliant masterpiece by Tiffany Reisz. The Original Sinners Series is slowly, painfully becoming one of my most favorite series ever. Maybe even my most favorite series in erotica. Her writing is just so fucking perfect okay. I love how this book isn't only about the hot sex and romance, but it's also about understanding the meaning of sacrifices and letting go. Like the first book, it was perfect. It was hilarious, slightly creepy and just made me grin like an idiot. 

I still absolutely love love love Nora Sutherlin. I have like a major girl crush on her. She's funny, witty, sexy as fuck, and she's probably the only one who isn't afraid of Søren. Honestly, she's just probably my most favorite heroine. EVER. She's best okay. She's just like...

but you know hotter and cooler.

We understand more about Griffin Fiske here and him and Michael OH GOD! This isn't technically a spoiler since it was mentioned in the summary from goodreads shown above. I liked his character in the first book because he seemed amusing and open. I love how Reisz develops and gives us a better outlook towards his character. In The Siren he was merely Nora's fuck buddy but here, it's so much better. We understand more about why he did the things he did or why he thinks the way he thinks. I looked up his name and this is what I got

He's so freaking hot omfg.

I don't know why but I love love LOOOOVEEEEE Søren's character. He's like a giant contradiction. He's so different from the characters I'm used to read about. I swear, I'm not even sure how to describe him. He's such a complex character - one of the most complex I've ever seen.

[Review] The Siren - Tiffany Reisz

Released: June 24th, 2012

Notorious Nora Sutherlin is known for her delicious works of erotica, each one more popular with readers than the last. But her latest one is different - more serious and personal - and she's sure it'll be her breakout book...if it ever sees the light of day.

Zachary Easton, the fog, holds Nora's fate in his hands. The demanding and uptight British editor agrees to handle the book on one condition: he wants complete control. Nora must rewrite the entire novel to his exacting standards - in six weeks - or it's no deal.

Nora's grueling writing sessions with Zach are draining...and shockingly arousing. And a dangerous former lover has her wondering which is more torturous - staying away from him...or returning to his bed?

Nora thought she knew everything about being pushed to your limits. But in a world where passion is pain, nothing is ever that simple.

"There are only two reasons why you leave someone you're in love with - either it's the right thing to do, or it's the only thing you do."

MOTHER OF EVERYTHING HOLY! This book shocked me in so many different ways and it absolutely blew me away and tore me apart to a million fucking pieces at the same time. It wasn't only about the dom/sub relationships you can read in Fifty Shades. It wasn't the simple theory of S&M. It was so much more. The book spoke about identity, love, loss, separation, moving on, pain and, well, pleasure. It explained how sometimes pain is a way of showing how much you truly love someone, and about having to let go of the things you love most for the best.

Nora was sexy as hell! I honestly fell in love with her character so many times. It's not only because she was smoking hot and hilarious, she was feisty and tough as nails. We see how strong her character is in facing her decisions and also her past, as well as her present. She has to control her feelings in her "relationships" so that nothing goes out of hand. But Nora is also weak when it comes to certain temptations. She has to figure out a way to balance between her life with Wesley, whom you will meet in the beginning, her role as a writer, and also her mysterious and hidden alter-ego.

Zach is another interesting character besides Søren. He was freaking hot. He was like smoking hot. Not only in the way he manages to handle Nora. He's tough, yeah sure. But the fact that he has some vulnerability in him makes him even more attractive. He doesn't give in easily to Nora's ridiculous demands. He can actually keep her at bay - which actually turns her on.

(P.S. He's not like Jensen Ackles above since Zach is so uptight)

But honestly, I really didn't expect much from this book. I thought it was going to be the simple and romantic novel kind of thing. But it wasn't. It was much darker and twisted than that. But, at the same time, the author inserts such witty phrases and lines that you just can't help but laugh. I highlighted so many lines and quotes here. It was just so damn good.

[Review] Entwined With You - Sylvia Day

Released: June 14th, 2013

From the moment I first met Gideon Cross, I recognized something in him that I needed. Something that I couldn't resist. I saw how damaged and how dangerous he was on the inside - how it was so much like my own. I was drawn to him and I needed him like I needed my own heart to beat.

No one knows what he did. How much he risked for me. How much I'd been threatened, or just how dark and desperate the shadows of our pasts would become.

Entwined by our secrets we try to defy the odds. We made our own rules and surrendered completely to the exquisite power of possession...


HOLY MAMA! This book blew me away all the way to Africa (I'm in Asia so)! Honestly, I just think that this is definitely the best book out of the three. Oh my God, everything was just so fucking perfect. The book was so emotional and heart-wrenching, but it managed to be so freaking sexy and hot at the same time, with just a touch of humor in it.

Gideon motherfucking Cross. I apologize for cursing so much but - bloody hell - if I was Eva, I'd keep that man locked up in a room and never let him out. I won't even regret it. He's a sweet and romantic sex machine who knows how to show a girl a good time. I completely fell in love with Gideon here because I think everyone could see the more vulnerable side to him and seeing how deep his love was for Eva just tore me apart.

Eva was the same as always. She was feisty and hot, independent and strong as hell. I loved that about her. I freaking loved how she wasn't so dependent on Gideon or his wealth, which showed how she had her own "thing" going on too, instead of just being the mogul's girl.

[Review] The Girl in 6E - Alessandra Torre

Released: April 17th, 2013

I screw men for money. Not literally. It's more of a - how do you describe it? Think of phone sex operator with a 15 megapixel webcam thrown in. They tell me their deepest, darkest fantasies while paying me $6.99 a minute to fulfill them. At least virtually.

What would possess me to do such a thing? Throw in a tortured past, murderous urges that existed 24/7, and the desire to keep the innocent people of my small town safe.

I was contained, out of the way, sexcamming to earn my living. Until he came along. He was a twisted client armed with a target's name. Annie. And in that name everything changed.




This book was honestly extremely interesting and different. It's not the typical plot you see everyday. To sum it up, basically, it was creepy as fuck, sexy as hell and downright intriguing. The book was dark in a way, I mean there's the mysterious he who's a complete creep. It was absolutely sexy because Jessica Reilly, or Deanna, is well, she's a sexcam operator. She's hot and feisty. Intriguing, because, well the plot was definitely different. I couldn't really stop reading.

Jessica Reilly aka Deanna is an independent and fucking confusing character. I really didn't understand what was happening until she explained it. She's beautiful, sexy, intelligent and somehow also considerate. In her own way. She basically has these urges for blood. But she prevents them by locking herself up in her own room in 6E. I really like how concerned she was about the creep, as in she thought that he was like a complete a-hole. Definitely one of my favorite heroines.

Then there's the string of varying webcam clients. They come in all shapes and sizes, with different fetishes, cravings and fantasies. Some were weird but I liked most of them. There's also Jeremy, the tenacious but damn straight smoking hot delivery guy who seems to have taken a peculiar interest towards her. He's too cute!

[Review] Beauty From Surrender - Georgia Cates

Released: May 30th, 2013

After Laurelyn Prescott walks away from the love of her life in Australia, she returns to Nashville to pursue the dream she's always had and hopefully always will. Determined to distract herself from the pain of losing Jack Henry, she immerses herself in her music. But when she comes back to her old life, her previous problems - and even new ones - comes. When she refuses her record producer's unbelievable requests, she finds herself without a career - until an unforeseen opportunity surfaces. From there, she climbs her way to the top where she might finally find the success she's always dreamed of. But will it be enough to bring her the happiness she deserves?

Jack Henry McLachlan never expected himself to fall in love with Laurelyn Prescott. But he did. After he let her slip through his fingers, he spends the three months miserably searching for her. But their reunion doesn't come easy. The woman he finds isn't the same one who drifted away without a goodbye. She was no longer an insecure amateur. This Laurelyn is a successful woman with a promising career. Her dreams are becoming a reality and he's terrified to lose his American girl because she won't have a place for him in her heart. With only one month to convince her otherwise, will he be able to persuade her to welcome him back into her life? 

This book was awesome. It was honestly heart-wrenching, sexy as hell! and also so sweet and romantic. Beauty From Surrender is the sequel of the way-too-great book Beauty From Pain. I loved loved loved the first book and I thought this one was great too, but the first book was better. I found this book just the slightest bit disappointing but her characters and writing style totally made up for it.

Guys - well, mostly girls - you will swoon and faint with how romantic Jack is here. He was just absolutely adorable. He's so sweet and caring towards Laurelyn. He thinks of everything and he's just ugh too damn sweet. He's like candy canes on Christmas morning and chocolate eggs during Easter.  I understood why he did some of the things he did because that was how it was realistically supposed to happen. That's how we expect real people to react.

Unfortunately, I liked Laurelyn a little less here. She was this extremely hot, tough chick in the first book. She was insecure at the same time but she wasn't that vulnerable, which I absolutely loved. But here, I thought that she was just the slightest bit too whiny and irrational. I thought that she could've been more understanding and patient.

[Review] Rock With Me - Kristen Proby

Released: May 1st, 2013

Leo Nash is the front man for the world-famous rock band, Nash. He's the last person that Samantha Williams would trust. Loving a celebrity is a been-there, done-that, never-going-back kind of thing for her. She isn't going to sign up for another round.

Every time Sam turns on her sassy attitude with Leo, he can't help but want to knock that snarkiness right out off her. He's not used to women treating him the way Sam does, and he isn't about to let her get away with it. He's lost enough people from his life to let Sam run away. When this one runs, he gives a chase. But, catching her isn't as hard as he thought.

The sexual attraction between them could put the layers of encyclopedias to shame. There's no way she can deny herself the promise of pleasure Leo can bring.

But pleasure is always followed by pain, and when secrets are revealed, their trust is challenged.

First things first. They have sex. Smoking, freaking hot sex. And a lot of it. This is a warning to those young readers who can't take sex scenes. Rock With Me is one of those books that focus mostly on the end-result of their relationship instead of the development. I've always loved Kristen Proby's writing style. It's easy to understand and it's captivating. The characters were undeniably well-written and the sex was just bloody motherfucking hot. One gif to sum it up:

Leo fucking Nash. He could melt ice cube on a stove just by standing a few meters away from it. He's undeniably hot, just the right amount of cocky. He could charm the mountains and the seas, as he is also the sweetest damn bastard out there. He was so concerned and attentive towards Sam that I found it so endearing.

Samantha Williams is wow. She's sexy, intelligent, tough and, God, I just really, really loved her character. She loves her family to bits and we could see how loyal and considerate she was towards them. She's independent and strong. But she also has that sweet, needy side to her around Leo, which i found so adorable.

MY RATING:

3 SEXY APPLES!!! if apples could be sexy

[Review] Beauty From Pain - Georgia Cates

Released: January 29th, 2013

Jack McLachlan is easily one of Australia's most eligible bachelors. His success and wealth, not to mention the addition of his dashing good looks, makes it complicated for him to have romantic relationships. Therefore, he goes into extreme measures to avoid all those difficulties. He prefers the no-strings-attached relationships. He arranges them like business deals and they're always the same. No long term relationships. No real names.

Everything is based on his rules until the lovely Laurelyn Prescott, an up and coming American musician, enters his life. He doesn't realize that he's delving into a much deeper and emotion-filled relationship within their three-month affair. Nothing goes according to plan as he breaks more and more of his own rules for her. This may be it for him. She was his game changer. But could they really survive the pressure?


Georgia Cates absolutely BLEW ME AWAY with this book. Their romance, their whole freaking relationship! God, I'm completely in love with all of the characters and it was just such a sweet and romantic book. Trust me, you cannot put this book down once you've started. This easily falls into one of my top favorites!

Jack was wow. He was just wow. Honestly, he was so sweet and considerate (even though he can be such an idiot at times). God, I loved his character and he was so freaking hot and intelligent. HE WAS SMART! Well, smart as in he knows his stuff about wines. And in the end, OH GOD IN THE END *swoons* he is just such a sweetheart.

While Laurelyn is a tough chica from the states. She was talented honestly and I love her raspy voice. I mean, that's just sexy! She's hot, she's smart, she's a musician plus she pole dances *winks* Though really I loved her character throughout the book because she's not one of those oh-look-hot-billionaire-swoons and falls straight into his arms.

I didn't know I was walking into a cliffhanger when I started the book so by the end I was just like...

At least now the second book's out so I can't wait to dive into it! :D

NOTE: They have a lot of sex. So, readers who don't like erotica, you have been warned.

MY RATING:

4.5 APPLES!!!
