Blog Tour!!!! The Opportunist & Dirty Red by Tarryn Fisher ~ Review, Interview, & Giveaway


Olivia Kaspen has just discovered that her ex-boyfriend, Caleb Drake, has lost his memory. With an already lousy reputation for taking advantage of situations, Olivia must decide how far she is willing to go to get Caleb back. Wrestling to keep her true identity and their sordid past under wraps, Olivia’s greatest obstacle is Caleb’s wicked, new girlfriend; Leah Smith. It is a race to the finish as these two vipers engage in a vicious tug of war to possess a man who no longer remembers them. But, soon enough Olivia must face the consequences of her lies, and in the process discover that sometimes love falls short of redemption.

Lies, Lies, Lies. Lies everywhere!

Olivia falls in love with Caleb "underneath a tree" but to me it was more than just love. It was soul mates meeting at the wrong time. 

“You can only give your heart away once, after that, everything else will chase your first love.”

Caleb's and Olivia's love is instant. All their friends see it, you feel it, and most importantly Leah knows it when it's her turn to fight for Caleb.

“Does he look at you, the way I look at him?” 

Lies. Lies. Lies. Everyone is lying. 
So years later when Caleb and Olivia meet once more it's just pure perfection that it's all based on more lies. I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!

“I love you too, Olivia. More than I could ever love another soul. There hasn't been a single hour in seven years that I haven't thought of you.” 

Everything that happens is absolute complete chaos to keep each other close but as far away as possible. Olivia trying to keep Caleb with a lie. Caleb lying to Leah to keep Oliva and Leah working her evil ways to keep them part. 

“Go be with your husband ... before he realises that he's still in love with me” 

Tarryn is a mother fucking genius!! The entire time I was not seeing what I was reading. Answers and clues to all these lies are all hidden within everything she writes. I was just never looking! At the end I had no clue what the fuck just happened and had to immediately re-read to soak it all in. Perfection! I could not stand Leah. I was cheering for Olivia and Caleb. I just wanted my Cinderella happy ending that I've grown accustomed to. But with Tarryn you get real life and not that happily ever bullshit. You get fucked up real people playing the game of life.

Dear Opportunist,

You thought you could take him from me, but you lost. Now, that he's mine I'll do anything to keep him. Do you doubt me? I have everything that was supposed to be yours. In case you were wondering; he doesn't ever think about you anymore. I won't let him go....ever.

Dirty Red

Leah Smith finally has everything she has ever wanted. Except she doesn't. Her marriage feels more like a loan than a lifelong commitment, and the image she has worked so hard to build is fraying before her eyes. With a new role and a past full of secrets, Leah must decide how far she is willing to go to keep what she has stolen.

Oh Leah, you fucking dirty little bitch! 
In The Opportunist I meet you and didn't like you one bit. In Dirty Red I HATED you. You conniving little bitch. 

“I have done a number of things to keep this man. I have lied and cheated. I have been sexy and meek, fierce and vulnerable. I have been everything but myself.”

Picking up the story from her point of view I knew I would dislike her even more but after reading the first paragraph of her story I had trouble reading the first two chapters without wanting to beat my reader with a fucking bat simply because it had her evil face on it. Do you understand how much I hate this girl! I will never hear the name Leah again and not thinking of this bitch.

This woman has no soul. She is selfish in the worst way. All her undermining ways to keep Caleb and Olivia apart are revealed.  Well not all. Bitch is fucking crazy and for some reason I was always shocked to find out what all she has done. How does a person come up with this shit!?!

“You die in love more than you live in love.” 

You see, even though Bitch is crazy she isn't oblivious. She knows Caleb belongs to Olivia but for some stupid ass reason she still wants him. She is obsessed with winning him. She wants her "perfect ending" and even though their relationship is based on more lies she doesn't give a flying fuck. Leah is beyond vain and has become obsessed with having her perfect family life that she sees with Caleb.

“I knew he never loved me like he loved her, but I wanted him anyway. I knew his love for me was conditional, but I wanted him anyway. I knew I was second choice, but I wanted him anyway. But,this was too much.” 

But the poor bitch doesn't stand a chance against soul mates. She can lie and play games like no other but the one thing she doesn't have going for her is the most important thing, LOVE. 

“Their story will never be over.” 

In the end I was left with a major mind fuck. The crazy Bitch even had me fooled. So when she finally confesses her biggest lie of all I was speechless! What the fuck!!!?!  How?! When?! Who?! FUCK! Bitch has no limits! 

I have never hated and loved a character as much as Leah. Yeah, I do love that crazy bitch. She's fucking crazy, how can you not love that?! Would I want to be her friend and drink my responsibilities away? Fuck no! Im not stupid! No way I want to be her next victim. I just want to observe from far away. She's a train wreck and I love to watch. 

Prepare yourself for a crazy ride with this one.

I am a real life villain, truly. I drink sick amounts of Starbucks. Most of the time my hair smells like coffee. I was born in South Africa, and lived there for most of my childhood. I moved to Seattle just for the rain. Rome is my favorite place in the world so far, Paris comes in at a close second. I read and write more than I sleep. When I was eleven, I wrote an entire novel about runaway orphans, using only purple ink. I am addicted to Florence and the Machine and will travel to see concerts. I love scary movies and giraffes. I spend way too much time on Facebook. Meet you there?…
