FIVE SINFUL STARS

I am not sure what constitutes a SPOILER in a review. I don’t think I have included any in this but if you haven’t read the book, maybe you want to avoid this review. If any of you who do read the REVIEW think there is anything SPOILERISH here can you let me know as I usually try to write my reviews SPOILER FREE.

I sort of had high expectations going into this book when I saw all the five star reviews. I avoided reading them. I have been burned before with my high expectations so ...more

Honest. Raw. Dark. Enticing. Enthralling. Beautiful. Heartbreaking. And in one more word: genius.

Let me start by saying that I’m usually very wary when it comes to modern BDSM fiction. More often than not the concept of BDSM will be twisted into something that’s only for depraved, broken people with deep psychological problems.

But this time around I opened a book and stepped into another world. Tiffany Reisz held me prisoner in Nora’s world with the very first word I read. She managed to capture ...more

I'm not sure where to begin with this one. I usually rant and rave about the males and how I love their alpha ness...but in this one I'm in love with Nora, yes, so much I want to be her sometimes. Nora is a famous erotica writer, but she is also a famous Dominatrix. I love how she says what's on her mind, says what she wants and takes what she wants at times. "“Wes doesn’t want me, but he doesn’t like it if I want someone else. Kid’s gotta learn that he can’t have his cake and not eat me, too.”. I'm not sure where to begin with this one.

"“Wes doesn’t want me, but he doesn’t like it if I want someone else. Kid’s gotta learn that he can’t have his cake and not eat me, too.”. See what I mean.....yes I want to be her sometimes!!!!

Well there's a few players in this one.

Wes: yes sweet, virgin intern Wes. He loves Nora, doesn't agree or understand her world (but really who does, it's sooo crazy!!!!). "Not with me, Nora. Don’t pull that writer romance crap on me. He beats you and you let him. And if this is love then he shouldn’t love you anymore”

Zach: he's our proper married (well kind of) British fellow, who takes his work seriously and her editor. It's all about the book, right? Well until he meets Nora. He is so intrigued by her. "“You’re beautiful enough and wild enough that you make me think things I never thought I would think again and feel things I didn’t think I’d ever feel again. And you make me afraid I’ll start forgetting things I don’t ever want to forget. You’re dangerous.”"

Søren: yes the infamous Søren, the top Dominant at the club. So powerful, so insightful, so scarey and oh so intriguing. Nora was his sub for 10 years and they love each other. "If I were omnipotent you would still be with me, little one. I didn’t have the strength to stop you from leaving”

Nora: yes The Siren. She's a Domme, a sub, a switch. She's conflicted at times. These men love her, but she doesn't want them to give up themselves for her. Wes would have to give up his innocence, Zach his wife and Søren, the "others" who need him. ""There are only two reasons why you leave someone you're still in love with. Because its the right thing to do, or the only thing to do"

So yes very complex, very fucked up, but oh so freaking hot too!!!! My favorite non sex scene, yes the Aston Martin, OMG!!! I wanted to be Nora in that scene, the power she possessed, the control, plus the hot guy and the hot car....lol. When she said this to Zach about her night at the club, I wanted to die, it was oh so Nora like: "“I’ll tell you this…I didn’t have sex with a man. And it was so much fun it oughta be illegal”

So yes I loved this book, at times I thought "I'm going to hell for reading and enjoying this book"!!!!!! Can't wait to read the next book, so on to "The Angel" ...more

Wow!

After reading all the reviews for this book, I parked it as a 'To Read', however yesterday I noticed it was only 20p on Amazon... Bargain!

It has taken me a day to finish and I absolutely loved it! Nora is such a character, and I can understand how women get girl crushes :| Nora is freaking hot! I did find myself wanting her and little Wes to get it on soooooo badly. The flirting between them was funny, he was so shy around her. He is an absolute sweetie and a diamond catch for any girl that ...more
