Rosenfeld (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

Noa Simon is a thirty-six-year-old filmmaker who knows what she wants when she sees it. When she meets Teddy Rosenfeld, an antagonistic, older CEO, she goes for the jugular. An electrifying encounter in a bathroom stall after their first meeting only serves to whet Noa's appetite, and despite Teddy's subsequent rejections, Noa is empowered by the challenge-and by her own insatiability.

She takes a job at his office and folds herself into his life, where they are just as often at each other's throats as in each other's beds. Their ravenous, volatile romance unearths difficult secrets from both of their pasts, and ultimately forces Noa to reckon with whether she wants to be with Teddy or give herself the permission to become someone more like him.

Rosenfeld is a compulsive, erotic page-turner that refuses to shy away from the thorniest questions of how taboos around power, agency, and control play out between men and women in our most painful and pleasurable moments. With precision and visceral, voyeuristic detail, Maya Kessler has written a tale of sexual initiation and abandon that titillates and interrogates in equal measure.

Rezensionen

"Listen up fans of Luster and Vladimir, because you'll want to mark the release date for Maya Kessler's new novel... Rosenfeld is all intensity and desire, making for a reading experience that will have you turning the pages as fast as you can to see where it will take you next."-Chicago Review of Books

"[Kessler] has a mastery of the sex scene...This novel should come with an X rating... To say that Noa makes Isadora Wing of Fear of Flying look like a prude is an understatement. She's utterly insatiable, and Teddy knows exactly how to please and to play her. ... In this dynamic, sex is power, and it's anybody's guess as to who will end up on top."-Los Angeles Times

"A kinky, moving new novel... Kessler is excellent at depicting the way lovers forcibly burrow into each other to find hidden truths. Love, in this novel, is tearing open the beloved's closet door to let their skeletons air. Kessler's writing is at once casual and precise... A smart, readable novel about messy people falling agonizingly in love, and having a lot of fun in the sack along the way."-The Jewish Book Council

"At times sexy, at times hilarious, this book offers a new spin on forbidden lust. . . . [Rosenfeld] challenged me to think about frequented themes in new and unexpected ways."-Debutiful

"An intoxicating and exciting siphoning of power, romance, and desire that will keep your heart pounding and mind lingering."-Our Culture

"While this book is not recommended for human resources personnel or underage readers, the rest of us can enjoy this well-told tale of a ravenous romance set in Israel."-Hadassah Magazine

"[For] fans of 'Sex and the City,' Raven Leilani's Luster, and Coco Mellor's Cleopatra and Frankenstein."-The Millions

"Raw... the characters come alive during the sex scenes, their desire for each other radiating off the page."-Publishers Weekly

"An erotic obsession [that] becomes all-consuming... X-rated."-Kirkus Reviews

"A confidently written, graphic and enthralling book." -Kveller

"A romantic novel on the verge of erotic which cleverly plays with the genre's formulas."-Calcalist

"Kessler's debut novel is an erotic romance with twists, humor and sophistication that doesn't follow the rules-neither literary rules, nor the new laws of relationships."-Haaretz
