Summary:
Never make a promise you don’t intend to keep…
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.
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.

WHAT IN THE HELL DID I JUST READ!?!?!?! Talk about WOW!
When I was contacted my Tiffany Reisz’s publicist to read an arc of her upcoming release, I jumped at the chance. I have to be honest, I have never read any of Tiffany’s work before (yes, I know, I have been missing out on ALOT), but I have heard nothing but great things so I was excited for this opportunity.
Tiffany Reisz is the first author to ever push me outside my boundaries with this book. And let me tell you, I have some extremely high boundaries, even when it comes to erotica. But this one, yea, I got a tad unsettled with some scenes (beastiality – not my cuppa tea at all). Tiffany definitely knows how to write unique and cringe-worthy scenes. So please, if you can’t stomach more than soft book porn (or even soft book porn), this book will not be for you at all; unless you want to push your boundaries, then by all means – GO FOR IT!!
I won’t go into any specifics of what occurs in this book. It is very fast paced and Tiffany dives right into the heart of this book. Tiffany holds nothing back in her writing. And I love how she has woven the arts into this and the history behind these great pieces. While I was cringing during certain scenes, I was still intrigued to see where this book would go. I did figure out the whole underlying mystery before it was revealed, but I still enjoyed how Tiffany made everything come full circle.
Overall, this book was very good. Even though it pushed my boundaries, I am glad that I forced myself to continue on and not allow small parts to ruin the book completely for me. And I did find myself looking up pieces of art that were mentioned in this book and learning more about the artists and the history. Tiffany’s tie-in of the arts was an integral part of this plot line and I really enjoyed that aspect.
