The Rose by Tiffany Reisz
4.0

This is a continuation of the story begun in [b:The Red|30755704|The Red (The Red, #1)|Tiffany Reisz|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1479308848s/30755704.jpg|51304450], set a generation later. Like The Red, The Rose uses a framing element to set up various erotic scenarios. While the first book was based on scenarios enacting famous paintings, The Rose is about Greek Mythology.

Both novels have an element of the fantastic to them and I enjoyed the tales as they unfolded. It's a good introduction to Reisz's writing for readers who've wondered about her Original Sinners series, but want to try her stories in smaller bites.
