Synopsis from Goodreads
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. She soon realizes she has no choice but to sell it.
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.

The Red is complex and intriguing. And it's also not what you think. Somehow it had a feel of old erotic novels, particularly Emmanuelle.
As you may guess, I liked it. Not in the way of The Original Sinners novels, but it had its own niche.
The beginning is confusing, but it gets more and more interesting as the book progresses until it finally all makes sense.
Tiffany Reisz definitely let her imagination run wild in The Red. I'm looking at you, Minotaur! However, every erotic encounter is crazily atmospheric and you can understand how the main heroine got obsessed with Malcolm, and how it changed her.
I do love Miss Reisz's heroines. They are magnetic and very strong-willed, and they do not give a fig about societal constraints. You go, girls!
Overall, it might not have been what I've expected from this book but holy sh*t, I was not disappointed.
Recommended.

"Рыжая" - книга комплексная и интригующая. И совсем не о том, о чем вы думаете. Почему-то по духу она напоминает эротику старой школы, например, "Эммануэль".
Как вы догадываетесь, книга мне понравилась. Не так как Оригинальные Грешники, но у нее есть своя ниша.
Начало запутывает читателя нестыковками, однако, чем дальше, тем сюжет становится интереснее, пока все наконец не объясняется, да так, что переворачивает наше понимание происходящего.
Тиффани Райс однозначно не ограничивала полет своей фантазии в этой книге. Я смотрю на тебя, Минотавр! Однако, каждая эротическая сцена до безумия атмосферна, и читатель начинает понимать одержимость главной героини Малькомом и как ее это меняет.
Я люблю конечно героинь Мисс Райс. Они магнетичные, сильные волей, и им наплевать на общественные ограничения. Так держать, девчонки!
В общем, книга эта оказалась не тем, что я ожидала, но я была совсем не разочарована. *смеясь* Рекомендую.
