âIâve had to be cold for so longâ, she said. âI donât know if I can remember how to be warm.â
The Pearl by Tiffany Reisz is the third book in The Godwicks series, which is highly erotic, highly mystical, and artistically evocative. Whilst this book is part of a series it can absolutely be read as a standalone, however, every single book in this series has been superbly fabulous, so we highly recommend reading The Red and The Rose as well! It is no secret that Tiffany Reisz is one of our all-time favourite Authors. There really is something about her flawless writing, her sense of humour and quick liners. The banter, creativity and complex layered characters are second to none. Her books are compelling.
âYou can try to hate me, hate us, all you want, but I know the truth. You hate yourself.â
In The Pearl, we meet Lord Arthur Godwick (the son of Mona from The Red) who, as an overprotective brother, offers to pay his brotherâs debt to the owner of The Pearl Hotel, Lady Reagan Ferry. The debt is to be paid off in bed, which seems fitting, as The Pearl was formerly known as a brothel frequented by good old, Sir Malcolm Godwick. The connection between Reagan and Arthur was on fire! Her, being older in her early thirties and dominant, and him being in his early twenties and submissive to her demands. It was tantalisingly HOT! Tiffany Reisz, without question, writes the most amazing heroines, we have never come across one we did not fall utterly in love with. They truly are the most compelling, strong, funny, loving, sensual and endearingly vulnerable powerhouse characters. And my oh my Arthur, be still our hearts, what a wonderful man. A powerful man, who truly loved Reagan using his body and mind as her own personal playground of discovery and satisfaction.
âWhy are you in a good mood? Itâs annoying me,â she said.
âWhy are you so cross? Youâre the one who gets to fuck me tonight.â
âAre all the Godwicks like you?â she asked?
âClever, charming? Desperately attractive?â
âObnoxious? Sardonic? Insufferably arrogant?â
Fantasies are erotically brought to life in The Pearl through the medium of art, and it was both provocative and highly sensual. It was passionate, philosophical, and emotional as Reagan is on a journey of personal forgiveness, untangling invisible bonds and freeing herself from the past, her mind and lifeâs consequential restraints. Tiffany Reisz once again delivers a flawlessly written masterpiece that hits your heart with an overwhelming impact. We wanted more âaftersâ from Reagan and Arthur, such was the comprehensive depths of their characters that we felt we knew them inside out hence we were left bereft when we had to leave them. But such is life when you are addicted to Tiffany Reisz, her stories and her characters. It can never be enough. Sophisticated intellectual erotica at its most magnificent!
âWith Arthur, a thousand years in his arms wouldnât be enough.â
