Editoral Review
Seven Day Loan by Tiffany Reisz
Seven Day Loan, Tiffany Reisz’s debut novel, is a provocative and passionate exploration of love, lust, trust, and power. Reisz’s writing style is vivid and intense, with raw and unapologetic depictions of desire and decadence.
The book was first published on December 1, 2010, and has since then earned a cult following for its unique blend of erotica and romance. The story is set in the world of art galleries and museums, where the seductive and sophisticated Eleanor Schreiber rules as a queen bee.
Eleanor is a mistress to many, but only one man has captured her heart: the reclusive and enigmatic artist known only as “Muse”. When Eleanor brokers a deal with him to loan out one of his paintings for seven days, she agrees to a wager: if she can’t seduce him by the end of the loan, she will pay him a hefty sum of money.
As the days pass, Eleanor and Muse engage in a dangerous game of desire, testing each other’s limits and vulnerabilities. Along the way, they each confront their own inner demons, and discover the power of true intimacy and trust.
The novel is narrated from Eleanor’s perspective, with intermittent flashbacks to her past, revealing her motivations and insecurities. Reisz’s writing is both poetic and explicit, with vivid descriptions of erotic encounters that are both explicit and tasteful.
She is unafraid to explore themes of BDSM, polyamory, and bisexuality in a way that is neither judgmental nor gratuitous. The novel also includes references to famous works of art, which add an extra layer of depth and meaning to the story.
However, despite its strengths, Seven Day Loan is not without flaws. The plot can be predictable at times, and the characters can come across as overly self-aware and self-conscious.
Additionally, some readers may find the BDSM scenes uncomfortable or triggering, and the book is not recommended for those under 18 years of age. Overall, Seven Day Loan is a thought-provoking and engaging read, that will appeal to fans of erotic fiction and romantic suspense.
Reisz’s writing style is bold and daring, with a palpable sense of passion and intensity. The book is not for the faint of heart, but for those who are open to exploring the darker side of desire, it is a must-read.
I give this book a rating of 4 out of 5, based on its originality, style, and impact.
