wow soo naughty
I'm blushing as I type thinking about what I'm going to write.
this book is so naughty but in the good naughty way. I couldn't read the pages quick enough. it defiantly had me hooked.
Tiffany Reisz knows how to capture her readers imaginations.
A great story and the twist at the end I was not expecting at all, loved this book and cant wait for what's next to come from you

What I love the most about this book is how the author used artworks in propelling the story - how the eroticism of the paintings brought to live. I actually didn't realize this book is paranormal/fantasy until right before I read it. The Red is so good that it left me speechless. Seriously, Tiffany blew my mind with this book. Will read more of her books.

I have read a few of Tiffany Reisz’ erotic novellas, but she writes what I would consider heavy BSDM and I have never been able to get into her longer works. This new stand-alone novella is more erotica than erotic romance and it’s also straight up bananas. I won’t lie, I picked it up for review after seeing multiple readers commenting on Twitter that the sex scenes were off the charts crazy. It’s like waving a red flag in front of a bull. I cannot resist. I have to know what I am missing.

The premise is that a young woman in need of half a million dollars to save her late mother’s failing art gallery is propositioned by a very sexy and enigmatic man. They’ll meet in the back of her art gallery every one to two months for a year for intense sex and nothing is off the table. Enigmatic stranger Malcolm doesn’t hide that he has a secret agenda and he doesn’t shy away from warning Mona that things are going to get crazy and she’s not going to like it. Mona does need the money, but it’s clear from the get-go that she’s actually more interested in the sex than the payout. It’s not the most unusual starting premise, but things quickly start to veer from the usual tropes.

The sex scenes are incredibly elaborate. They’re based on role play of erotic paintings that Malcolm leaves out for Mona before an assignation. They get more elaborate and more kinky as they go on. They quickly got more extreme than I was personally comfortable with, but I couldn’t stop reading at that point. I had to know what the fuck was going on.

I usually hate “twist” books as I almost always end up feeling like the twists were convoluted and the payoffs not sufficient enough. That didn’t happen here for me. There are hints at what is really going on laid piecemeal throughout the story and the big reveal felt like an “aha” moment for me. This is a superbly strange, deeply erotic, and unsettling book and it had me riveted. I don’t think Reisz is an author that I can regularly read, but this book definitely ensnared me.

The Red is an art gallery, one that Mona promises her mother never to sell it, and she also promised that she would do anything in her power to keep it in the family. Of course, when she meant everything... nothing is off limits!
When a mysterious man comes in, offering to save her gallery for a price, she jumps at the opportunity. With this book being erotica, I suppose that is quite obvious.
The writing and execution is well done, Mona and Malcolm had a lot of interesting activities. Most of the scenes are based on paints, which I have no idea of. I admit I am tempted now to learn more about art after reading this book.
If I have one dislike, it would be the lack of personalities with the other characters except Mona. Towards the end I realized why, though it was too late for me. I have fallen victim of judging the book by its cover. The ending was a little bit rushed for me. So I am a little disappointed at that too.

Mona St. James made a promise to her dying mother, she'd do whatever it took to save her mom's art gallery. She didn't know what that would entail once someone called her on that promise. Malcom has made his own deathbed promise and he sees Mona as the way to fulfill that oath. His mysterious arrival at the gallery and then his demands of her over the next year weave an intricate and erotic connection between Malcom and Mona. Mona discovers more about herself as Malcolm tests her limits with each new scene, always based on a piece of art. She connects with him deeply and it makes her start to question her sense of reality. The ending has a great twist and connected some of the disjointed feeling throughout the book.

I am not going to rate this book since I did not finish it, but in order to submit it fairly, I will give it a 4 stars due to the writing and I know those that love the eroticas are in for a treat. It wasn't what I expected. I usually devour this author's work and she definitely did write one hell of a story whereas you cannot judge the characters because of the setting it is in. I have to say it is STEAMY HOT, but just not my cup of tea at the moment. Just know the writing if phenomenal, and I know for fact I will go back eventually to finish the remaining half of this book just to know how it ends.

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down. I loved the mystery, the taboo topics. My only complaint is I wish there was more. A looking into their future.. I want to know how hot and dirty their life became.

How to categorize this book? It defies boundaries, just like its writer. I found this lovely gem through a new app on my mobile, Radish. I loved the first few chapters so I had to get the entire book. I could not find it available in stores at the time so I went to Netgalley. To my extreme delight, I found it there. This book is fantastic and well worth the read.

For those who like supernatural stories, this is the book for you. Lovers who defy the natural world are somehow a bit more exciting and erotic. In this tale, Ms. Reisz creates an erotic feast in role playing which is so realistic, the line between reality and fantasy are blurred. Specifically for Mona Lisa St. James who is desperate to save her mother's art gallery. When a man comes to Mona for a deal which would net her the millions she needs, she takes him up on this offer.

I am impressed with how Ms. Reisz creates this world. It is a simple vengeance tale with so many erotic twists that it may overload some readers. The premise of why this is happening and how Mona's mystery lover is doing this requires a suspense of reality. It is the kind of saving a damsel in distress that speaks to readers who would like to escape their daily grind, for just a little bit. To run away from the bills piling up and the hopelessness in a situation with no good outcomes. Who can not relate to this universal theme? Then Ms. Reisz takes our hand and leads us down the rabbit hole into a world of fantastic sexual debauchery. If there is one thing Ms. Reisz excels in, it is her erotic scenes.

These rich scenes of sexual delights will revive jaded readers like myself. The imagery projected are so lifelike, I can see it in my mind's eyes. The descriptions which include several of our five senses overwhelms me with lust. I must confess, each sexual interlude between Mona and her lover excited me in all the kinky ways I love. Ms. Reisz's erotic musing can rev my arousal from zero to 100 in less than six seconds.

This story is more than just an orgy. There are some interesting points she makes about women selling their body for money. This is a very unpopular stance and yet, I agree with Ms. Reisz whole heartedly. The questions as to why selling a body is so wrong is a justified one. It is a touchy subject and I liked how it was handled in this book. I also enjoyed the history and learning how the lover came to be. When it looks as if this story will end in a bittersweet way, Ms. Reisz does something I rarely see her do. She provides a happily ever after. Colour me shocked. This erotic novel is a work of art which teases and tantalizes a sensualist. Highly recommended for its character, plot and erotica.

This is the first book I have read from Tiffany Reisz and I enjoyed it. The read was different for me compared to other books I have read and I think it's because of her writing style.

Mona Lisa St. James is the new owner of The Red art gallery, previously owned by her mother and Mona has incurred all with The Red. The Red in financial debt, Mona made a promise to her mother on her death bed that she would do anything to save The Red. Mona meets a mysterious man name Malcom, what he offers her to help save The Red isn't what Mona was expecting. What Malcom offers Mona is she give him complete Carte Blanche to her body for a year. After every encounter Malcom will pay her in art to help save The Red. They will take specific art and reenact these erotic scenes in Mona's back room and always wondering how Malcom can transform her back room without her knowing. After the year is up, she will never see Malcom again.

As I reach the end of the book, there is a twist that I wasn't expecting and it made the read a lot more sweeter and interesting and I couldn't put it down.

This book was amazing written and interesting to read

I loved the characters in the book

*3.5 stars*

I'm a Tiffany Reisz fan, but this book was NOT what I was expecting. The Red is a book that is extremely hard to review without giving away spoilers, and this is a book that can truly be spoiled by a careless review. I will try very hard not to be careless, however, I think there are some important things that potential readers should know going into this one.

1) This is NOT a romance. If you are looking for any sort of romance you are barking up the wrong tree. While there is a hint of romance near the end of the book, this book is EROTICA, plain and simple. And there is nothing wrong with that, however, it is something you should be aware of.

2) This book is KINKY. If you are squeamish about any or all of the following, stay away (some minor spoilers ahead): Group sex and/or multiple partners, pain and bruising play, anal, fisting, role play, orgasm denial, and more. I'm not generally a fan of pain play, but all the other stuff was no sweat for little kinky me.

3) This book does not have much of a plot. It just... doesn't. Most of the book is sex, sex, and more sex. There is very little else happening. It is literally all about the sex.

4) The female MC is a whore. Literally. I'm not using whore in a derogatory manner, but you should know that the female MC prostitutes herself out to the male MC (for most of the story) in order to save her store. This is basically explained in the blurb, but you should know that Mona embraces this role. There is no shame, no guilt, no barriers. There is NO safeword.

Now, I actually loved how sex-positive the female MC was. She was open and free with her body in a way that I rarely see in fiction. She was insatiable and shameless and glorious. It is one of the things I liked most about the book.

I enjoyed the sex in the book a great deal, but I was always plagued with my doubts, my logical mind interfering. I KNEW there had to be some twist, some catch, and that bothered me as I was reading. It was almost a relief once I figured it all out because I could just concentrate on the kinky stuff and let the story wash over me.

I rushed through this book in two sittings. It went very, very quickly, despite being quite long. I liked it for what it was, but I think I was expecting more romance, more plot and less sex. However, if I look at this book as simply some clever erotica, I like it more. It is clever, and it is erotica, and it is well-written. Just check my warnings and go into it with an open mind and minimal expectations.

Mona is in charge of The Red, an art gallery that had been dear to her mother. She is willing to do just about anything to save her failing gallery, including whoring herself out to a mysterious rich stranger that wants her to reenact sensual paintings.

It's interesting that the kinks play into famous art pieces, which are brilliantly described. We feel all of Mona's confusion and emotions, especially with the otherworldly aspects of her meetings with Malcolm. I was drawn into the premise, but some of the phrasing made it hard for me to really connect with her. The ending of the book was very neat and well done, but at the same time felt almost too pat. It did explain the odd moments with Malcolm very well. I think if the ending had been a little less abrupt, I could have given this five stars.

Terrific book. Totally did not expect the ending but loved it!

What to say about this book? I went in not knowing what this book was about. I haven’t read this author before but I have known about her for a long while. I was bored and decided to get this book as a way to pass time between books. I didn’t intend to like it and I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know this was erotic fantasy nor did I now what that meant. Had I known what it meant I probably wouldn’t have read it since fantasy doesn’t really appeal to me. But boy was I wrong.

This book is fucking dirty!! It’s dirty and wrong and fucking fantastic. I fell in love with this story from the first few pages. The story is so intense I had to take breaks (which my husband enjoyed ;) ). There are hardly any adequate words to describe how erotic, how fulfilling this story is. If you’ve ever had a dirty fantasy, this book brings it to life.

Mona is barely hanging on. Her art gallery is going under and she has to find a way to save it. Malcolm makes her a offer she could refuse. After all, how could it get any worse? Her mother was dead, she had no family, and her art galley would be closing soon. She has nothing left. But who is Malcolm? The only way to find out is to go through with their agreement. The storyline is too good to be true but let’s not forget that this is erotic fantasy. It’s supposed to different, it’s supposed to be shocking. And let me tell you, the sex is fucking shocking. It’s beautiful, wrong, forbidden, and delicious and will leave you aching in all the good places. By the end of this book, your mind will be blown.

Wow!! Awesome and holly molly HOT as hell.  I didn't have the pleasure to read anything by Tiffany Reisz so far but after reading this book that will change very soon. 

Just WOW !! And I must make a point, how very very original this stoy was for me. I mean I have read some fantastic and paranormal books before but nothing like this.  I also must admit that some moments were very strange like WTF strange but at the same time very interesting. 

And, most of all, I need to mention the action the erotic action. In this book there was a lot of it ( it is a erotica after all) but damn hot hot hot. In this book every sex scene was different from another. Some of them were odd like I would mention before but all of them made me squirming in my sofa with excitement.

Very original erotic and fantastic read. And I will recommend this book to everyone who like to read something different and at the same time smoking hot.

I really enjoy Tiffany Reisz books. I love how she brings so much personality into her characters. Mona wants to save her mother's gallery, but is in bad debt. Malcolm walks in and offers an answer.
The erotic element in this story is vivid and interesting. Tiffany builds characters throughout the story endearing you to them the deeper you go and more you read. If you've never read Tiffany you need to start and this will give you a sampling of her stories. You will want more from her after each book, she is a great writer.

I received a copy of this through NetGalley for my honest review.

This was an entirely different premise than I have read and was much more darker/erotic than I was expecting. The writing was amazing, the premise was quite engaging, and the steam factor was over the top. Mona owns an art gallery which is on the brink of crumbling around her, when Malcolm appears in her life. He offers to save her gallery if she agrees to fulfill his fantasies for one year. He will pay her in art pieces that she can later sell, if she gives him one or two nights a month for a year to play out all his sexual games. She agrees and what ensues is a series of encounters that is over-the-top BDSM games. And Malcolm has some strange secrets that he will only reveal when their time is over.

I have not read a book like this before and I was glued to the pages trying to figure out what would come next and what the "secret" was. I figured out the premise before it was revealed, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

As a story line, it was pretty far fetched, however, if erotica is your favorite...you would definitely have plenty of opportunities to be turned on.

WOW! I think I just found my new favorite author.
This book had the perfect balance of storytelling and erotica.
I found Mona a compelling character. Her motivation to save her mother's gallery led her into a situation not for the faint of heart. She wasn't afraid of her own sexuality and was open to new experiences.
Its only at the end of the book to we discover more about Malcolm and his motivation for striking the deal with Mona. What an ending that was. To say I wasn't expecting that is an understatement.
There was a sampling of all types of erotica, from regular kink, menage and role-playing to a touch of bdsm all the way to WTF did I just read.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story with a good helping of erotica thrown in.
