From the Author
From the Inside Flap
"Are there rules?" Mona asked of her mysterious suitor. "Expectations of me? Requests?"
Malcolm held up one finger, telling her to sit and wait. She sat. She waited. He walked to her bookshelf and perused the titles, the hand on his chin again like the first night. At last he seemed to find what he was looking for. He pulled a large white book from the shelf and leafed through the pages. Then he returned to her desk, bringing the book with him.
"That," he said, laying the book open on the desk and pointing at a photograph of a painting. "I would like you to wait for me thusly."
The painting in the photograph was one she knew well--Manet's Olympia, a portrait of a young girl, naked, lying on a bed with her head up and staring directly at the viewer. It was an infamous painting, Manet making mockery of the tired old Venus-reclining-on-her-bed trope. Olympia was a prostitute and a shameless one at that. When it was first displayed, the crowds found it so vulgar they wanted to tear it to shreds.
"So I'm to be your Olympia."
"For what I'm paying you, you'll be everything I want you to be."
She looked up at him, met his eyes. For the first time since they met, he touched her. He laid his hand on the side of her face, stroked the arch of her cheekbone with his thumb. Such a large warm hand. She truly believed she would regret making this agreement. But she didn't regret it now.
"You were meant to do this," he said softly. "You'll see."
"Why me?" she asked. "Millions of women in this country, millions in yours...why me?"
"Millions of paintings in this world. Only one Mona Lisa. Billions of women in this world. Only one you, Mona Lisa St. James."
Then he left her in the office, blushing and shivering and undeniably aroused. She'd just agreed to become a prostitute to save her gallery.
From the Back Cover
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.
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...

At the beginning it seemed pretty straight forward, Mona agrees to let Malcom do whatever he wants to her for one year and he pays her to keep her mothers art studio open.
As the year progresses the scenarios get more and more… interesting I guess is the right word. I don’t want to say too much without giving too many spoilers cause if you go in blind, it’ll be a good twist!
I definitely looked up after finishing it with a big “what just happened?!” 😂
All in all, I enjoyed it! Just an FYI, there’s not a ton of plot, but a lot of other things!
The whole time I was reading, I kept trying to figure out who (or what) exactly Malcolm is....is he a god, a demon, an angel? The reveal at the end surprised the heck out of me, so I won't spoil it for anyone, but I absolutely did not see it coming. Do yourself a favor and google image search the artwork the author uses to inspire the different scenes in this book, trust me it helps.
I totally stumbled upon this book by accident. I play a lot of those choose your own story books and ran across this one. It's been on my watchlist for a while and I waited until I was done reading others before I got to this one. And oh my God was I surprised! The choose your own Story is literally a smaller condensed version of this book. But you get to pick the reactions. I had so much fun with it! I was really hoping that there was a series of actual books that went with this after I played it. And how do I read the author's flip in the beginning (which I never read by the way because they're usually super boring and dumb) I would have realized that it was based on actual book. I never replay the books on chapters ever. But this one was so good I was going to restart the book. And when I did I read the author's bio. I realized that this great little game was actually a book and I was thrilled beyond belief! The only thing that I'm sad about was that 90% of the book was in the game and I previously read it all. So I went should the Kindle app store instead of replaying the book on the game and purchased the book. and I was not disappointed even though I basically read the whole book in the game. there were still a few things and details that weren't in the game that were in the book that were important that were great in filling all the little details and gaps. I could read this book over and over again and I'm not usually like that. It was that good! I really wish there was a whole series to keep going. I would really like to know what happens with Mona after all of this. Malcolm was such a strong character but he deserves to have his own book before all of this takes place. A mini one even to go through his life through his eyes and feelings. Or even a counter book of this one on his thoughts and feelings through this whole book.
This book is literally every smut readers dream! Especially if you're into kinky stuff. The things that would make even a whore in church sweat even more. The things that you almost feel like you'll be struck down by a blaze of lightning bolt from heaven just by reading it. You feel like a sinner just for casting your eyes and reading the lines in here. They are erotic, shocking, overwhelming the senses... Cataclysmic rapture. Every woman's deepest darkest fantasies. The things that not even your dreams can make.
On a different note, I actually learned stuff from this book too. Hard to believe I know! But the author really did her research and knows her stuff. At first I didn't realize that all of the paintings and artists were actually real. Once I actually bought the book and read it I realized that every painting artist was actually real. That is a lot of dedication and research just to make this book happen. You won't be disappointed when you actually go look them up. They're actually quite lovely. I've never been an art fan before but this is kind of changed my view of Art. Especially a portraits and paintings of things that might be obscure.
This is most definitely the longest review of a book that I've ever left. I hope the author reads all of these.
Mona and Malcolm's relationship is something to be envied. I think that deep down he really does love this new Mona. And the things that he does to avenge his deathbed wish is amazing. The story between them is fascinating and rapturous. The things that people are willing to do for money and then for love are insane. I love the fact that he did all of this to ready her for his grandson Spencer. And that he knew he needed to do all of this not only for himself but for her knowing that she needed it. And for Spencer and for their family to keep their lineage going. I really hope that there is a book about her and Spencer. I would kill to read it especially if Malcolm makes random appearances. That would be something!
Here are some details I do not care for: the gallery is cluttered and seems to be unclean. The bed in the back has old worn flannel sheets, and then is upgraded to new white sheets that have never been washed. That's gross, new sheets are treated with formaldehyde so the rats in the warehouse won't chew them. Wash your new sheets and new clothes, first. Mona wears old clothes of her mother's, from the back of her closet, for her dates with Malcolm. Won't she smell like her mom or her mom's perfume? Are the clothes clean? I'm not a neurotic person (I know I sound like one) but I am not down with dreary old fox hunt paintings, dusty 30 year old red velvet fainting couches, or a gallery cat TouTou that sleeps everywhere. I don't want to read about group nymph sex with one man, who has been cleaned with a bowl of warm water and a wash rag before he turns to Mona. I want soap, fresh paint, no cat hair or cat smell, a little less free-love whore mentality vibe, a lot more hygiene and a big dose self-knowledge. So this was not the book for me.
I was transported into them instantly..I m planning on to look up the paintings online
to see them for myself.
I cried like a baby when I found out about Malcolm but it changed after the ended and I smile...
Thank you for this book. This eye opener into art pieces I never knew.

I read the book on my iPad which gave me the opportunity to look at images of each of the paintings that were discussed in the book, it brought a wider understanding of the whole book.
The only thing that surprised me was how long it took Mona to work out what was going on, but *shrug* that’s the way it was written. Tiffany Reisz, a romantic just like me...well mostly.
