USA Today bestselling author Tiffany Reisz returns to the world of The Red with an imaginative sequel full of lust and magic, and the dangers unleashed when the two are combined…
On the day of Lia’s university graduation party, her parents—wealthy art collectors with friends in high places—gift her a beautiful wine cup, a rare artifact decorated with roses. It’s a stunning gift, and one that August Bowman, a friend of her parents and a guest at Lia’s party, also has his eye on. The cup, August tells her, is known as the Rose kylix, and it’s no ordinary cup. It was used in the temple ceremonies of Eros, Greek god of erotic love, and has the power to bring the most intimate sexual fantasies to life.
But Lia is skeptical of August’s claims of the cup’s mythology and magic—after all, he’s a collector himself, and she suspects he just wants to get his hands on this impressive piece of art. So he dares her to try it for herself, and when Lia drinks from the Rose kylix she is suddenly immersed in an erotic myth so vivid it seems real—as though she’s living out the most sensual fantasy with August by her side…
Realizing the true power of this ancient and dangerous relic, Lia is even more wary of giving it up, though August insists it is only safe with him. He’s willing to pay the full value of the cup, but Lia has another type of trade in mind. One that finds them more tangled up in each other—and in fantasy—than either was prepared for...

What I thought about The Rose
I absolutely loved the The Red, the previous book in this series and I couldn't wait to dig into The Rose. I was thrilled that there would be more since I loved the mythology, eroticism and supernatural aspects of the first book.
The Rose deals with a special mythological cup, said to be used in appreciation of Eros, Greek god of erotic love. If you've read Tiffany Reisz before you know she can weave a wonderfully erotic tale, complete with mind-bending twists and turns. She does a fabulous job of repeating this in The Rose while also providing a little more character development. While this did give The Rose a slightly different tone than The Red, I loved having the additional information to round out the story.
When Lia received the cup as a graduation gift, she's blackmailed into selling it, but not before she can use it with August, a family friend. The cup transports her into a new world of eroticism and fantasy that is unique and even a little bit scary at times. Of course August wants the cup for himself too! There are some real surprises here that I don't want to reveal, and I loved how this all played out.
I definitely recommend this for readers looking for something a little different in erotic romance. This well-researched story puts a spin on Greek mythology that you don't want to miss.
