Exclusive Q & A with Tiffany Reisz – The Saint

The Saint by Tiffany Reisz

Release date: June 24th

This is one of my all time favourite series!  If you haven’t read any of the series yet, they need to be read in order, you can find my earlier posts on The Orignal Sinners series or my most recent post on The White Years.  It is an amazing series! 🙂

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.

My Review

I can’t say anything bad about this book because I loved the whole thing.  It was great to go back and learn more about Eleanor (Nora) in her teenage years.  It switched between the present day and when she was growing up but mainly told in the past.  The earlier books in the series gave us Nora today, but this book focuses on what make her her.  I loved the intertwining stories with Nico and the glimpses we get of him.  I also love how we also get to know more about Søren and their early relationship.  I highly recommend you read this book if you’ve read the first 4 books in The Original Sinners series.  This one is a phenomenal 6 stars!

Exclusive Q & A with author Tiffany Reisz – She’s so cool!

  1. The question on everyone’s mind must be- did you have a gorgeous priest growing up that you based Søren on?

Easy answer. Nope. And I didn’t read The Thorn Birds or watch the tv movie either although I was aware of it. When I was starting out in the BDSM scene, I was collared to a six-foot-four blond hardcore sadist. Now that might have something to do with it…

  1. While Søren is significantly older than Eleanor, there are moments when she shows immense maturity (and certainly strength) as she learns of Søren’s family secrets and his inner demons. Can you talk about that dynamic?

Yes, in The Saint Eleanor is very young (15 to 20). But she’s also smart and madly in love. Young people are more open-minded and open-hearted than us crusty old adults. Eleanor sees Søren with eyes of love that cherish and accept and believe in him. As she gets older, her faith in him is challenged the way a believer’s faith in God is challenged by life’s disappointments. But at age seventeen, Eleanor is a firm believer in Søren, and when he tells her the truth about him, she responds like a true believer in the Bible—with all her heart and all her soul and all her mind.

  1. Eleanor’s naiveté and her submissive role in both Søren and Nico’s life at times fits her personality, and at other’s seems to be a role she struggles with. Did you intend for this duality of character in her?

She’s not naïve at all with Nico. She sees exactly what’s happening between them, which is why she’s so reluctant to let him cross her threshold and come into her house and into her life. She’s suffering, however, and that pain makes her vulnerable. With Søren she’s more young than naïve. She doesn’t know much about the BDSM scene when she meets Søren when she’s fifteen, but she instinctively understands that duality of pain, that pain can make her feel better. Søren’s the one adult she believes in and that makes her vulnerable to being hurt and disillusioned when she discovers he’s more than she thought he was. Her duality is born of her childlike-ness (not childish, but childlike in that she sees the entire world as her playground) and her intelligence, which she used to see through everyone else’s masks and armor.
