A deep sensual provocative romance that is utterly hypnotic!! CD Reiss has boldly written one of the finest, thought-provoking erotic romance that flawlessly and meticulously captures every raw emotions and facets of love in her latest release, Marriage Games. This book was visceral, touching, emotional, and sensual. It was everything you would expect from a CD Reiss novel.
“Can’t you feel it? I mean , it can’t be just me. You’re in this marriage too. But then I think you’re not and you never were.”Marriage Games is an erotic romance that takes you by surprise. It is unlike any erotic BDSM novel that I have read as CD takes readers on a journey down the proverbial rabbit hole where the past and present collides in a brilliant fashion. From the opening page to the very last page, readers are left spellbound to CD’s poetic and stunning prose. Each detail and raw emotions are sprinkled throughout the book in order to allow readers to see how a marriage went from happy to the unknown possibility of divorce. The integration and weaving of past and present throughout the story added a depth that made this book original and utterly addictive.
Adam Steinbeck knew from the moment he laid eyes on Diana that he wanted her. She was the one that he wanted to spend his life with. It was game over. A done deal. Four years of marriage, he thought their life and marriage was everything. Not only was he able to save Diana and her family's publishing empire, but he was able to work alongside her. Little did he know, that his wife decided to tell him it’s over and she wanted a divorce.
“I tasted her wine, her water, her ambition, and her loyalty in that kiss. I was a goner.”
Thirty days is all he asked of Diana. Thirty days to save their marriage. Thirty days to show her his Dominant side. And if she could last thirty days, he will sign over everything that she wants and grant her the divorce that she seeks. All he hoped for was that within those thirty days, she could feel his want, his need, his desire, his sacrifice, his loyalty, his truth, and his love. Is thirty days enough for Adam? Or will this thirty days show him that it’s better to let her go?
“I’m miserable. I need to end this before I start to hate you.”
“Do you hate your husband?”“I never hated him.”“You’re about to.”Marriage Games is a brilliant love story. Yes, this book had deep erotic BDSM undertones but that was not the main emphasis. This book was about the exploration of communication, sacrifice, love and understanding. It is about discovering and realizing the truth. Love is not something that can be instantly turned off. There is a reason as to why you love and fall out of love and so CD Reiss beautifully and poignantly explores this depth and perspective. Yes, there is no such thing as a perfect marriage and so CD gives readers an insider’s perspective of two people examining their flaws and imperfections in such a deep manner. So if you are looking for a love story that was more then I highly recommend you to read this book as Marriage Games was a literary masterpiece that read like a journal entry. Your heart will ache, love, and feel for these characters. So are you ready to get lost in a love story where you will do anything to save a marriage even if it means thirty days of submission?
