The Saint by Tiffany Reisz 5- Star Review

The Saint

Synopsis

Before she became Manhattan’s  most famous dominatrix, Nora Sutherlin was merely a girl called Eleanor…

Rebellious, green-eyed Eleanor never met a rule she didn’t want to break. She’s sick of her mother’s zealotry and the confines of Catholic school, and declares she’ll never go to church again. But her first glimpse of beautiful, magnetic Father Marcus Stearns—Søren to her and only her—and his lust-worthy Italian motorcycle is an epiphany. Eleanor is consumed—yet even she knows being in love with a priest can’t be right.

But when one desperate mistake nearly costs Eleanor everything, it is Søren who steps in to save her. When she vows to repay him with complete obedience, a whole world opens before her as he reveals to her his deepest secrets that will change everything.

Danger can be managed—pain, welcomed.  Everything is about to begin.

Robin’s Review

The Saint is the fifth novel of The Original Sinners series written by author Tiffany Reisz. The Saint is also the first novel of The White Yearsportion of the series, following the previously published novels of The Red Years: The Siren, The Angel, The Prince and The Mistress.The Red Years revolve around more recent events for Nora Sutherlin, including her career as an author of erotica novels and the most notorious Dominatrix of The Underground. The White Yearswill take readers back to a time prior to the events of The Siren. We are given a glimpse of Nora Sutherlin from the ages 15 through 20 in The Saint, when she was known as Eleanor Schreiber.

Eleanor Schreiber is already jaded and hurting at age 15, feeling unwanted by both of her parents. Eleanor lives with her mother in Wakefield, Connecticut. Her mother has always wanted to become a nun, and Nora feels responsible for her not being able to realize her dream. Her father owns a chop shop and is involved in criminal dealings, so Nora is rarely allowed to spend time with him. Although Eleanor is enrolled in a Catholic school, she doubts the existence of God. She feels the Catholic Church is hypocritical, and decides she no longer wants to attend Sacred Heart. Her mother bribes her into attending Sunday Mass by telling her they now have a handsome new priest who owns a Ducati motorcycle. On that fateful day, Eleanor attends Mass where she meets and falls in love with Father Marcus Stearns.

In The Saint, readers will learn more about Kingsley’s son, Nico. Nora narrates the events of the novel to Nico in a series of flashbacks to explain her relationship with Soren and Kingsley. Be prepared to be held captive by a mystery while reading this novel! Tiffany Reisz will have you guessing at what could possibly be happening from the beginning to the very end.

The Saint is now my overwhelming favorite novel of The Original Sinners series! Tiffany Reisz has done a wonderful job of capturing the personality of a teenage Nora Sutherlin. I absolutely enjoyed watching the relationship develop between Soren and Eleanor. It was very obvious that Soren and Eleanor both felt a connection from the moment they met. Soren knew what she would one day become to him – the perfect woman and submissive. If you have not started this series, I highly recommend it! Tiffany Reisz has developed such interesting characters and weaves a fantastic story throughout the entire series. Five outstanding stars for The Saint!

Author Bio

tiffanyTiffany Reisz lives in Lexington, Kentucky with her boyfriend and two cats (one that may or may not be the Anti-Christ). She graduated with a B.A. in English from Centre College in Danville, Kentucky and is making both her parents and her professors proud by writing erotica under her real name.

Tiffany has six piercings, one tattoo, and has been arrested twice. When not under arrest, Tiffany enjoys Latin Dance, Latin Men, and Latin Verbs. She dropped out of a conservative southern seminary in order to pursue her dream of becoming a smut peddler. Johnny Depp’s aunt was her fourth grade teacher. There is little to nothing interesting about her.

If she couldn’t write, she would die.
