Recommendation
Again, Tiffany Reisz puts words on virtual paper, stacks them up against all the other words on paper, and throws down the metaphorical mic. BOOM. She rocked my world with The King. Granted, I’m a big Kingsley fan, so getting to know his personal history and more depth to his relationship with Søren was a treat for me. If you’re an Original Sinners fan, you’re putting your life on hold when The King lights up your Kindle.
Excerpts
Well, if she behaved like a normal person, she wouldn't be Nora, would she?
"I don't understand," the blond said. "Do you want to understand?" "It's why I'm here." "Then follow me. I'll be your tour guide through hell."
"You'll have to forgive me. I'm a man who loves both men and women. You give me a woman who dresses like a man, and it's." Kingsley paused. "What was the thing that crippled Superman?" "Lois Lane's pussy?" "Kryptonite," Kingsley said. "A woman in a suit is my Kryptonite."
Publisher synopsis
Cunning. Sex. Pure nerve. Only this potent threesome can raise him to his rightful place as ruler of Manhattan's kink kingdom.
Bouncing from bed to bed on the Upper East Side—handsomely paid in both bills and blackmail fodder—Kingsley Edge is brilliant, beautiful and utterly debauched. No carnal act or chemical compound can relieve his self-destructive apathy—only Søren, the one person he loves without limit or regret. A man he can never have, but in whose hands Kingsley is reborn to attain even greater heights of sin. He plans to open the ultimate BDSM club: a dungeon playground for New York's A-list that'll change the scene forever.
The club becomes Kingsley's obsession—and he's enlisted some tough-as-nails help. His new assistant Sam is smart, secretive and totally immune to seduction (by men, at least). She and Kingsley make a wicked team. Still, their combined—and considerable—expertise in domination can't subdue the man who would kill their dream. The enigmatic Reverend Fuller won't rest until King's dream is destroyed. It's one man's sacred mission against another's….
