Daniel Part Two by Tiffany Reisz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
As I said before, I never want to say goodbye to these characters. I didn’t think I could love Daniel anymore. He was all broken and wonderful… but fully dominant and confident Daniel is a force to be reckoned with. I think I may have to re-order whom I love most and put him at the top… Shocking, I know!!! Wow, this was just wonderful. Loved it!!!
The Mistress by Tiffany Reisz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There were a few things that normally would have caused me to deduct a half star or so but the story was just so good I couldn’t do it!!! I thought the other books were brilliant but this one really just tied The Red Years all together and everything that happened just felt so right, but not predictable.
I had a situation that happened earlier in the week and I do not believe that my reading this and that incident coinciding is an accident at all. I won’t go into details but it just made me think about how in 2013 we are still so far away from being a truly open minded and accepting society. Or if nothing else a society that minds it’s own fucking business. Everyone is entitled to their opinion or feelings but no one is entitled to judge the worth or importance of another person based on ignorant beliefs. I don’t believe we will ever get to a place where that is recognized and accepted. But I digress…
I found Marie-Laure and Wesley’s characters to be the best kind of irritating. Well let’s be real. Marie-Laure was just fucking crazy and Wes was just young. Both had a very small and closed minded worldview. Anything that did not fit into there way of seeing the world and their rules for how things “should” be was wrong, or evil, etc. As they say however, how you treat others or act towards others is a clear reflection of you not them! Thankfully Wes was able to hear the truth and different perspectives and to come to a more enlightened place when it was all said and done. It was interesting how Laila was definitely more innocent than anyone else in the book and had the biggest excuse to be the most closed minded but because of her upbringing she was able to differentiate between preference, fear, real love, and the grey areas of life.
Kingsley rocked my world once again. I don’t even have the words, and I’m so happy for him where things were at the end of this one!!!
Nora was her regular self. I still absolutely one hundred and eighty five percent love the shit out of her! I don’t know if I’ve ever met a female character who is in essence so free. She embraces her sexuality, she doesn’t care what anyone else thinks of her, and she does her best (though she is far from perfect and having it all figured out) to not harm anyone. She has a big heart and can kick your ass, fix your relationship, destroy her own, and put it all back together again! I admire her honesty and her ability to not give one single fuck!!!
Soren, LORD HAVE MERCY!!!!!!! I died every time he opened his damn mouth. Whether it was his fear or all the wine it was wonderful to have him tell so much of their story. If a man like that truly existed I imagine he would be the scariest and most intriguing thing ever! His absolute devotion and love for Nora is beyond sexy!
All the other supporting characters I loved as well. I loved the humor in this one and really had to try hard not to highlight and share all of the stuff that made me crack up. While there was quite a bit going on in this one it still managed to bring the heat. The tale of the three’s first night together and even Wesley’s scene brought on some serious ovarian destruction!!!! Then there was that shocker the book ended on. I just can’t say enough good things or express fully how much I loved this one. I can’t wait for more of this crazy group!!!
The Prince by Tiffany Reisz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
That was my face by the end of this one. I had a lot of people tell me that this was their favorite book in the series and I thought after The Angel it couldn’t possibly get better… boy was I wrong. I really enjoyed this one and give Ms. Reisz mad props for writing the crap out of this book. I never knew that sinning could be that good. But for real when I finished this one I was just like…
Why? Well…
Firstly, you have three separate but of course related story lines going on at one time. I cannot imagine how difficult that must have been to write and keep track of and to do it in a way that wasn’t confusing to me the reader at all. I like to think I can follow a complex story line fairly easy for the most part but when it’s this well written it’s not that difficult.
Secondly, the M/M aspect. LORD HAVE MERCY!!!! I felt so bad for Kingsley and the ass whippings that he got but it was so hot and that love story was absolutely brutally beautiful and frightening.
Third, the mystery of it. I was on the edge of my seat and thinking really hard trying to figure out how one thing was possible, and what Nora was going to do ultimately, and so on and so forth.
Also, I know I’ve said it a million times but I love Nora. She is such an all around and complete character! The way that she is childlike and brazen, wild, fearless, and mature all at the same time is amazing. She is hands down one of my most favorite heroines of recent. She must seriously have kryptonite in her vagina though!!!! LOL!
I wish I could say more but I can’t without giving away things. I can see myself reading this one over and over again. GOSH!!! I cannot wait to see what happens next…
Seven Day Loan by Tiffany Reisz

Daniel…
Gosh he is just so broken and yummy!!! I only love a broken man in fiction. I think it’s because they are still really strong and usually fixable to a certain extent. It’s not cute in real life though! This was a quick & hot read and I’m sure I will read it again and again. 😀
The Angel by Tiffany Reisz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was just…I mean the first one was…
But this one was..
And there were moments where all I could do was…
Two moments in particular!!!
I didn’t enjoy the internal story as much this time. Suzanne was the WORST!!! I wanted to just smack her while she was conducting her witch hunt…
After I got through my shock & awe I could appreciate and LOVE Michael and Griffin. Nora was her brazen, sassy self… loved it!!! Wes shocked me with his little secretive self! Kingsley was comical and sexy.
But hands down… HANDS ALL THE WAY MOTHER FUCKING DOWN Soren stole the show for me! I would give my left pinky toe to have someone who loves me so much that they can let me go multiple times because they are confident that I am theirs forever!
