About the Author
CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't pick up, she's at the well, hauling buckets.
Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it gave her a big enough ego to try her hand at novels. She’ll tell you all about it out back, where a cord of wood awaits.
If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

The (hot, dirty, and consuming) games people play
By Vox Libris
Consider yourselves warned, faithful readers: CD Reiss is going to claw your heart out, pound it with a meat cleaver, only to shove it back in, wrench it back out, stomp on it with sharp spiked shoes, and then jab only half of it back in your chest, leaving the other half dangling perilously out.
Such is Marriage Games, one of the best books I've read this year.
Adam and Diana have been married four years - four happy years, Adam thought. A note on the kitchen counter one morning defies that notion, however, because Diana has left him. She is unhappy, she no longer loves him, and she wants this marriage to end.
Adam's initial shock gives way to an agonizing pain that demands action: "I needed to become a man unburdened by love. I didn't have a plan yet. I didn't have a beginning, middle, and end. Just a concept without form. I didn't articulate it to myself, but somewhere on the back burners, something started brewing. Something difficult, bold, and utterly callous."
One thing you quickly learn about Adam is that he is a Dominant, yet his marital bed was absent any D/s relationship because Adam believes it is impossible for him to love a submissive. And one thing Adam knows without question is that he loves his wife.
He also knows that he is not ready for his marriage to end.
To forestall Diana's demand for a divorce, Adam proposes an exchange: 30 days together, during which Diana will do whatever Adam asks, after which he will give her not only the divorce but the 51 percent he owns in her and her father's company.
Reiss has a running motif of cold and ice that reflects the state of this marriage. Adam has frozen part of himself off, leaving a cold void where his dominance once thrived. He refers to Diana as his "little huntress," but her mythological namesake pursues creatures whose hearts beat warm blood. What Adam can't see is that part of his heart, much like the snow drifts in Manhatten and the Hamptons, is too cold to hunt. When Adam observes that his "toe made a divot in the crust of ice but didn't break through," he might as well be talking about himself.
Yes, Adam loves his wife. You will not question this. in fact, you will agonize with him over Diana's absence. Adam professes that she is "light, life, energy. Everything." And you believe him. You know this to be true. Reiss uses this to almost turn you against Diana, to dislike her with the same intensity with which Adam loves her.
And then Reiss changes the "game," and you find yourself standing on that frozen crust of ice, feeling it crack underneath you.
This book is so amazingly well written that I am struggling with how to describe it. I have not marked up a book as I marked Marriage Games in a long, long time. When Reiss is in Adam's head, she immerses you in his thoughts and feelings, grabbing you by the jugular and not releasing you. This book will exhaust your emotional reserves in a way that very few books do, but it's a good way, in a way that makes you feel as if you just experienced something phenomenal.
Truly, the less you know about this book, the better you will be. Go into it ready to be challenged. Go into it ready to love Adam, yet also be prepared to understand him better, sometimes in ways that make you weep for him rather than on behalf of him. You also need to be prepared to rethink how you look at marriage, to see it as an organic, ever-changing entity in which two partners grow and adapt to each other's growth. You need to learn that a game can only be played by two willing participants, and not all games can be won.
As this is the first in a duet, it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. Or maybe "cliffhanger" is the wrong word to use. It ends on that icy crust, and you hear the ice beginning to break. Reiss leaves you wondering if you - and Adam and Diana - will make it safely across or if the ice will tear you asunder.

Raw, Sensual Addictive
By laurengit24
Christine Reiss has truly outdone herself with the story of Adam and Diana. She has written something so raw, emotional, sensual and addictive.
Sometimes you read a book and you feel the words on such a deep level that you literally have to take several steps back and process what you just read. This story consumed, enthralled and enraptured me. The complexity of these characters made me think and feel things that I never thought possible. I both loved and hated Adam and Diana for their flaws and shortcomings.
At times I wanted to be Diana, forced to my knees and bend to Adam's dominance. And in other moments I wanted to be Serena, who would willingly give herself to someone just to receive pain to derive the ultimate pleasure.
I felt Adam's betrayal towards Diana. At the same time understanding his deep conflict over these two parts of himself. The rawness of their feelings for each other was palpable. I was keenly aware of the letter Diana wrote to Adam, and my heart broke a little each time he sent unanswered text. I felt the cold wind of winter in Montauk blowing, and heard of crushing ice under foot.
I was truly transported while reading and I honestly don't know if I ever have before.
To say this is must read is understatement. Christine beautifully crafted this story, which to me is her best yet.

Here I go wishing my life away...I can't wait for January 2017~ 5++ stars ~ 2016 #MustRead and #Favorite
By Cyndi Becker
What a perfect read - everything about the Marriage Games #1 is right, right, right! But why? The story line & concept, CD Reiss' brilliant execution and some the most emotionally complex characters I've ever read. I can't even find my words...not easily at least but here goes.
I read it in one fell swoop. Why I would start a CD Reiss book in the evening and expect to put it down before I was done? What was i thinking? I just wanted...I'm not even sure what I wanted. Did I think there was an HEA in this (book 1 of a duet)? No, not at all. But still I wanted to feel hopeful for them together, not apart.
Did I think Adam was blindsided? Betrayed? Yes. I had so much sympathy for him. Diana was simply callous and unfeeling. I really didn't like her and I struggled with that because well, if Adam loved her, surely she was worthy. But she wasn't panning out that way. Then I realized there are 2 sides to the story and she really is in self preservation mode. Once the story moves to her perspective, I softened towards her a lot. And then I thought maybe there is hope. But deep down, I dreaded the past repeating itself.
The secondary characters - Stephan & Serena are great for the story line. They are reminders that there are rules in the BDSM community and considering the practice, they are incredibly important. I had an aha moment as I realized that even DOMs have hard-lines and the unique situation made Adams even more imperative. Can't say I liked either one of them though. Nope ! Lots of manipulation going in throughout the story but these two are so calculated in their efforts.
I love where it ended and how I feel - a little anxious, a little hopeful, a lotta worried ;-)
Here I go wishing my life away...I can't wait for January 2017 !
