fast-paced

Had a couple of great sexy scenes, but the ending felt rushed or just off somehow. Meh book except for a couple exciting moments.

Read for Romanceopoly 2020 Passion Place

Solid 4 stars!

Holy Moly!! What was this incredible thing I just read?!?!
I loved Red but this was just 2 steps beyond that. The smut was excellent explicit and yet not at the same time if you know what I mean and it's wonderful reading about the smex in such a lighthearted yet sensual way..I loved Lia and August and their chemistry. It was so refreshing and lovely to read about greek myths from this point of view and the conversation between Lia and her mother about Poseidon and Aethra was just..

Ok its time to take a break from romance coz I'll be real here, nothing is about to beat the Rose anytime soon. I will not be able to go into any romances without feeling the after effects of this darned book so it’s time to break for a few days. Wat a fricking glorious ride...

Oh my goddess it was panfuckingtastic.

What a lovely mothers’day I had! I got to sit on my derrière all day and read this book. Then I had Jamie Oliver’s fantastic fish pie for dinner, not made by Jamie, made by the hubster.

I sat and I laughed and laughed. Little giggles. Dirty guffaws. Laughs so hard they made me cry but at the same time my knowledge of Greek mythology increased exponentially.

I loved this book!

Lia - daughter of Mona (The Red) meets August Bowman at her graduation party. She has something he wants and it isn’t her gardening or tennis skills. It’s a Greek artefact that he wants to claim.

In The Red, Mona has adventures with painting themes, and Lia, oh my oh my oh my, slip me a toga and find me a winged horse, gets all Grecian.

Tiffany Reisz writes with such humour, and wit and sexiness beyond measure. I would love to live in her mind. She is definitely one of my dream dinner guests. I’d make her fantastic fish pie.

Told in the third person, single point of view, Tiffany Reisz puts a steamy literary erotica spin on Greek mythology.

Gifted with an ancient Kylix wine cup by her father for her graduation, Lia is approached by a friend of her parents, August Bowman, warning her of the cup's powers. As an antique collector, he offers to buy it; Lia, however, is enamored of Greek mythology and finds it too interesting to sell. Besides, it's a gift from her father. But when a secret she is trying to keep hidden is about to be exposed, she proposes a deal with August. One that takes her on erotic adventures she never imagined.

Using erotic vignettes in the style of [b:The Red|30755704|The Red (The Red, #1)|Tiffany Reisz|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1479308848s/30755704.jpg|51304450], she brings the characters through varying erotic adventures that keeps their tale fresh and exciting. Creative, with witty dialog, intelligent story-telling, this is a novel that only not brings the heat, but engages your mind. With the exception of an ending that, while satisfying, felt a bit rushed, I enjoyed this one.
