Review: The Mistress by Tiffany Reisz

( The Original Sinners #4 )

blurb:

The final book in The Original Sinners Series - The Red Years.

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 knot 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....

~*~*~*~*~*~

Have you ever loved someone so much, that you could die for him, her?

And have you ever loved someone so badly that you could live for them? 
Fight for that love?

I can proudly say that I did, and still do! We fight everyday.

That's why this book felt so close to my heart, I was bawling my eyes out every 15 pages or so.

This was beautiful! The love in this book is BEAUTIFUL! And it's more then that - it's amazing, bewildering both breathtaking and thrilling! 
I'd like to believe that love like this exist not only in novels, I'd like to believe that I have it, too.

'The Mistress' left me feeling... 
I just keep feeling! Something.. EVERYTHING!

I went through so much with this read. I was furious and angry, I was sad and happy, I was crying and I was laughing! But the joy I felt in the end overpowered everything else!

This was a story of people who have lost and found one another, who've left an imprint deep inside of me. 
I always cherish the most those books, that made me feel the strongest emotions and deepest feelings. 'Cause I know that I'll always find friends in them, whenever I need it.

Nora Sutherlin will tell you a story, and You will listen. And if you do, you'll find the biggest joy in life, in the world!
Do you know what's that?

It's Love...


Peace, 
Mistress A.

Epilogue by C.J. Roberts

(The Dark Duet #3)

Blurb: 

I’m writing this because you begged. You know how I love the begging. In fact, you probably know too many things and know them far too well.

Who am I?

Well, that’s what I’m trying to figure out. I was a whore in my youth, a killer since my adolescence, and a monster as a man. I am the man who kidnapped Livvie. I am the man who held her in a dark room for weeks. But, most importantly, I am the man she loves.

She loves me. It’s quite sick, isn’t it?

Of course, there’s more to our story than can be surmised in a few short sentences, but I’m at a loss for justifying my behavior back then. I assume if you’re reading this, I don’t need to make those justifications. You’ve already made your own.

You’re reading this because you want to know about the rest of the story. You want to know what happened that warm summer night in September of 2010, the night I met Livvie at The Paseo. It was the night my life changed all over again.

It didn’t happen exactly as Livvie said. She’s been very kind to me in the retelling of our story. The truth is far more…complicated.

I don't even know what to say.. Caleb,your son of a... I'll miss you..


5 stars is not enough, hell.. Million stars doesn't even cover the part of a cover..

so I'll just say S T A R S .............. !!!

For a reader who would randomly take and read this book all the joy and excitement wouldn't do much.
He or she wouldn't get why people were stalking this book, waiting for accurate release date, pre-ordering and being pissed when Amazon send the wrong copy to them.

But I understand! Everyone who've read the series, those two books before this one, will understand. Cause if you've read it, you were captivated by them. You can love them, you can hate them, but you will always, ALWAYS remember them!

And the ones who love them, those who lived with these characters, cried with them, were scared with or of them. Who felt joy and sorrow.. Those readers.. well.. I'm one of those readers!

This book was everything I had wished for. I wished to see them out in the world. To feel their love, to hear their minds.

And Caleb... he turned to be better man then I thought he could be. He's still himself, but a better version. You'd ask how could that be?
Well imagine the Caleb we knew from first two books, and how little we actually saw inside him. And here .. his mind is fascinating! I think I'm in love :D

Anyway, enough of my rambling.. My words can't express enough or do justice for this book.
You have to just read it, and then read it again and again. Until you see what a wonderful job C.J.Roberts did!

The story of Livvie and Caleb broke my heart, and then peace by peace they'd put it back together. Now I feel full again to wonder around in search of new stories. But I will never, ever forget about them. 
You both are in my heart <3

Peace

The Siren by Tiffany Reisz

The Original Sinners  # 1

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

Zachary Easton holds Nora's fate in his well-manicured hands. The demanding 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.

~*~*~*~*~*~

" Show,
Don't tell. "

5 amazing stars!!!!


When I first read the blurb, or maybe it was the second time? Don't remember, but I thought that wow, this will do! This story is what I need right now.
I imagined that Zack will be this hardcore, dom type editor who'll kick Nora's ass, figuratively speaking :))
And Nora will be this submissive, brilliant woman with defiance in her eyes! Our regular BDSM. After long power struggle they'll finally settle down and live happily ever after.. I could have not been more wrong!

This story is nothing I've ever expected. And It's not a romance story either, so don't fool yourself with hopes of happy endings.

This is a horror story if anything and I think the 'author' IN this book would agree with me.

Here.. the person who loves you don't bring you flowers, no.. He beats you. Among other things..

That said, I wasn't disappointed with this book. Quite the contrary, I loved it! It's emotional, raw, true to the core. Full of desires and hurt and pain and love. Yes love.
But it's not a romance.
It's a horror story!

*ARC received from NetGalley.

This was unexpectedly very enjoyable read!

It deserves 4 Strong Stars! 

I don't even know what I was expecting from this book.
But every time I see kinky now, I tend to think about some dark BDSM.
But in this case it wasn't that. It didn't have that dark feeling you usually get when reading kinky unspeakable stories.

It was light with great humor tossed in for a good measure!
I was devouring it, and it was fun for me to see how other people tend to deal with problems in their marriage. And unexpected was the outcome!
I rarely read books that includes already married couples, I find it somewhat boring. I love the chase and the anticipation of what to come when people meet and feel the attraction towards each other. The sex and other stuff are usually just a bonus for me. Especially if it's well written. 
I like the fighting and arguing, that feel of uncertainty. That kind of book definitely for me.
But start a book with already married couple.. where you almost guess that the main thing in it will be someone cheating ... Thanks, but no thanks..

So this book was a big surprise for me! They're married and You can still feel the heat, but also some uncertainty!
Absolutely loved it!

Although I'm not sure how would have I reacted to some actions that occurred throughout this book, but I guess we're all different and need different 'treatment' when we do a bad bad thing LOL

But I liked the way author described every important move and action, seriously! I almost could imagine feeling it myself!

So If you like light kinky stories this is a definite TO READ book for You!

Peace

I'll give 4 Stars! for this whole book :))

All 8 short stories from this series are actually one book cut in 8 pieces, so it to be released in different dates to drive fans crazy. At least that is what I think.

Hopefully authors wont do that again in the future. Cause it's frustrating, really. 

Do you know the feeling when you can't read the book you're into because you have go to work or other matters to attend too? Basically don't have time for it? And through that time, while you can't read, you constantly living with the characters of that book in your head? Wondering what will happen next.. driving yourself crazy? 

Yeah, I'm thinking this reading experience must have been just like this with this book for those who started reading it when it first came up. But it's not because they needed to work or attend to other matters that they couldn't finish at their own choosing time. It was thanks to the author! 
Yup, she gives you few chapters, intrigues you and then BAM! No more read for you today! Go and be mad all day, make everyone around you miserable because you need another dose of dat book!

Luckily, I wasn't one of those people who started from when the first peace of the book was released. So my sanity is intact and everyone around me safe, all is well. Have no fear!

I was just wondering, what on earth! ( probably not from earth I think) advised with this frustrating-publishing of one book? I think it was a Devil himself. Cause may I just say BRAVO for the tactics!


I was captured by this series from the chapter one! Although the story looked somewhat similar to 50 Shades of Gray. And I guess it was in some way. All stories like this one will always have something in common with E.L.James books. 
Story 'bout wealthy man and a young girl with some dark secrets and kinky fuckery seems very appealing for readers these days. But who am I to judge right? I think I might be one of them LOL :))))

So if You haven't read this series yet, you should definitely start it right away. Cause it's nice story with lots of fun in the erotic sense of the word :))

Comfort Food by Kitty Thomas

(Read December 12th, 2012)

Synopsis:

Emily Vargas has been taken captive. As part of his conditioning methods, her captor refuses to speak to her, knowing how much she craves human contact. He's far too beautiful to be a monster. Combined with his lack of violence toward her, this has her walking a fine line at the edge of sanity. Told in the first person from Emily's perspective, Comfort Food explores what happens when all expectations of pleasure and pain are turned upside down, as whips become comfort and chicken soup becomes punishment.

DISCLAIMER:

This is not a story about consensual BDSM. This is a story about "actual" slavery. If reading an erotic story without safewords makes you uncomfortable, this is not the book for you. This is a work of fiction, and the author does not endorse or condone any behavior done to another human being without their consent.

------------------------------------------------------

()()() My B-day read. ()()()


4 Fucked-Up Stars!


First of all I'd like to quote K.Thomas.

from "About the Author"..

" <...> She(Author) believes there is no topic too taboo to write about and that fiction isn't meant to teach morality. If you haven't developed morals by the time you start reading erotica, it's probably too late. "

****** Amen to that! ******



My thought's about the book

First off all it is very well written and well researched. I was captivated by the story from the beginning. Not knowing what will happen if anything.

So the heroine Emily Vargas did good for herself. Wrote few self-help books and was touring with one of them and stuff like that. Basically Oprah would have been proud of her. Then suddenly after one of her speaking engagements she was taken captive. 
That's when the real fun begins.

'My mind was going down trails I wished it wouldn't. His soul was ugly, but physically, he was beautiful. I could give in to that. I could let that touch me without felling the need to vomit. And I wouldn't be blamed for it. I was the victim here.'

I actually was thinking there would be more violence.
But despite things that she had to endure in to "please" her captor there was almost none. None that was spilled on paper anyway. 
But the biggest violation was with her mind. What happened in this book I'd describe as a total mental rape. 
Stripping persons identity so thoroughly and completely that the person would willingly do unimaginable things.

"No ... Please don't leave me. I'll be your whore. I'll be whatever you want, please." ..<..> He turned and smiled at me, the smile of victory. 

I actually searched for some pictures to spice up my review a bit, but what I've found made me sick.
Have you ever wonder how many women all over the word is held captive against their will for sex slavery? All the people that don't have rights to consent or not 'bout anything. Not where they sleep, what they eat and much much worst things.
What I'm trying to say is that I'm all up for kinky fuckery or whatever helps you get off, but it has to be consensual. 

By the end of the book I've gone through a lot a feelings. Anger, pity, horror, disbelieve, hope. And I was clinging on hope the most. I didn't help. So once again I want to remind you that it is not a romance. No knight in shining armor will arrive and save the day. 
But it's a good book, challenging - but good nonetheless.
So please read and enjoy!
