LOVED IT!!!
I could not put it down!!! Tiffany Reisz knows how to captivate her readers'attention from the very first page..
Kingsley Boissonneault is sexy, strong and works in the French military. His mission makes him infiltrate a kinky/ sex cult. He tackles his mission the same way he has always done except that he is going to be venturing down a dangerous path that will put him at risk emotionally and might not leave him unscathered.
“Not all problems are meant to be solved,” she said. “Some are meant to be endured.”
This story is erotic and mysterious! A must read for TR 's fan of the Sinners Series.

***ARC received in exchange of an honest opinion***

Tiffany Reisz is definitely my number one favorite author. The world andchqracters she created in the Original Sinners seies will stay with mthe forever.

I really enjoyed reading The Chateau, I mean, it's Kinsgley after all!

Oh King, my heart grows each time I read about him. I love how easily we can fall into his story, completely immersed in him. Tiffany Reisz doesn't disappoint (does she ever?) in this incredible, fun, sexy, suspenseful story of our favorite french man. No one writes literature and kink together like Mrs. Reisz does and I look forward to each and every of her books as they never EVER disappoint. Like the other original sinner books, we follow King on an adventure we wont forget. Enjoy!!

THE CHATEAU is book 9 in The Original Sinners series. If you're a Tiffany Reisz fan, you'll moan and groan at me when I say that this was my very first read from her. And I suppose, technically, it can be read as a standalone. I mean in my ignorance, I never realized that this one was part of a series and I was still able to read it pretty easily. Having said that, I think you'd get a hell of a lot more out of it if you began the series at the beginning!

Kingsley Boissonneault is a lieutenant in the French military intelligence (almost like the CIA I guess). He's tasked with an undercover assignment: find an "in" to a secret sex cult where women make the rules and men obey. Then locate his commanding officer's missing nephew. This isn't Kingsley's normal mission but when he finally meets the Madame of the house, he's more than intrigued with the beautiful sadist. Could Kingsley be happy in this upside down world of BDSM?

Ok, let's begin with the obvious...this is an erotic BDSM romance! It's got a lot of sexy steam in it but it's written in such a way as to be almost classy. Sounds weird, I know, but it definitely works. Author Tiffany Reisz had me absolutely enthralled with this strange world where women are the masters and men willingly serve them. It definitely gave me a lot of insight into BDSM and more specifically, sadism and masochism.

I loved Kingsley! Oh my goodness, this poor man had such a skewed view of love. He needed to come to terms with who his true self really was and accept that he required something that perhaps is taboo to most, which I suppose is a journey we all make at some point. He was snarky and funny, alpha hotness half the time and submissive the other half, an utterly complex character that had me rooting for him to find his HEA.

Then when I got almost to the very end, I realized that, NO, Kingsley might NOT get his happy ever after! WHAT?!? This isn't supposed to happen in romance! It wasn't until I read the epilogue that I finally understood Ms. Reisz's direction for her character. See, if you're like me (a clueless goof) and haven't read anything from The Original Sinners series, here's the key: this book is more like an "episode", a chapter in Kingsley's life. He DOES get his happy ending, just not in this book! What does this mean? It means that I unequivocally must go back to book 1! Told entirely from Kingsley's POV. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

I have chosen not to read and review this tile. While the blurb drew me to the story, I was not engaged with the characters or the way the story was written.

I appreciate the opportunity to review this early title and am looking forward to the next title through your company.

Thanks,
Laura

Oh Kinglsey, how he continues to steal my heart. I absolutely loved this addition to the original Sinners series that allowed me to take a step back in time to a period in Kingsley's life that really did leave its mark on him and possibly helped mould him into the man he became but also the empire he created. This was a time in his life without Soren but despite this, we still saw Kingsley the submissive but this time he was in a world where women were the dominants and men were there simply their slaves!!!!

This book was jam packed full of mystery and suspense and I was dying to know what the deal was with the enigmatic madame. There was definitely more to her and I was hooked and desperate to find out what it was. The twists and turns ensured this book was a page turner and as for the kink, wow this book definitely offered up something different but equally so freakin' HOT!!!!

Another job well done to this author. This was another 5 star addition to a series that is up there with my all time favourites. Different is hard to come by in terms of plots these days but this author delivers time and time again!!!!

I had not read anything by Tiffany Reisz before but I was so taken by the title and the mystery of it that I decided to try it even though it's part of a series. I have to agree with the accompanying press release I received that it is a perfect jumping on point for anyone new to it as it filled in just enough but made me want to know more.

Kingsley is a French spy who is in between assignment so he occupies himself with one night stands and well, that. He's also haunted by a recurring vivid dream featuring someone from his past. We're left to think that it's someone he cared deeply for and that person is someone he desperately longs for. An intriguing assignment finally does come his way that he jumps at because there's something about it that speaks to whatever is missing inside of him. He is tasked with infiltrating a "cult" to rescue the son of an important official. This cult just so happens to revere a book that Kingsley is quite familiar with. Things should get very interesting now!

At first Kingsley comes across as bored but this assignment seems to wake him up. It seems to give him the excitement he's been lacking and also fulfills any lust-filled desires he has. I know The Chateau is an erotica thriller but I was mesmerized mostly by Kingsley himself. I hadn't read a male character that was so in tune with his own sexuality, so truthful in his words, and unfazed by the things that were happening at the chateau. Even with all the mind games there was a measured amount of honesty in the characters' conversations and actions. Reisz built this sexy, mysterious and slightly menacing world and I was all wrapped up in it. That it's set in the 1980's makes it feel almost other worldly.

The thing is when some folks see a book described as "erotica", it's assumed that all there is sex and perverse situations but it didn't feel that way to me. I felt that I was also getting a story unlike any other I've read. I was so fascinated by Kingsley's mind and the ghosts that he couldn't escape from. The Chateau is an excellent story filled with some eye-popping moments but also a plot and leading man that draws you in immediately.

This was the first book I've read in the Original Sinners series and it definitely won't be the last. Kingsley. Sigh. I love how complex Reisz's characters are. I love how she weaves a story together.
This is billed as a stand-alone, and it does, however, I did feel like the ending was a little rushed. I felt it lacked something, but I think that was because I didn't have the backstory from previous titles to fall back on. Otherwise a nuanced, fast-paced read that I thoroughly enjoyed.
If you enjoy BDSM, complex relationships and even more complex characters, this story is for you!

I didn't originally realise that this was part of a larger series: no matter this was still an enjoyable endeavour surprisingly more humorous in its execution than erotic which surprised me as I was expecting the opposite.
My rating reflects the fact that I haven't read the rest of the series so was somewhat uninvested here.
If you are a regular consumer of this series I imagine the opposite would apply.
Though technically this can be read as a standalone: all the components are there: in my opinion, this would be better served read as part as the series especially since you will already then be invested in the outcome here.
This is a partial backstory of 24-year-old Lieutenant Kingsley and his adventures concerning The aforenamed Chateau.
It's fun flirty and sexy: A well-written foray into a world of taboo practices and free expression.
I enjoyed this very much but it didn't really set me on fire probably because as I mentioned earlier I read this as a solo offering.
Still, it was enjoyable and well written so for that reason this gets a thumbs up from me.
Thank you to the Author and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of "Do Not Disturb" of which I have reviewed voluntary.
All opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

There is no chance that I could write a review good enough for this book. We learn so much more about Kingsley in this story, if you think you couldn’t love him any more than you already do, you’re wrong.

The Chateau is book 9 in Tiffany Reisz’s Original Sinners series, and it’s a story that readers are going to love. It delves into fan-favorite Kingsley’s past, and interestingly enough, I think this book could stand on its own. If you’ve read the series up to now, I do think it will mean a bit more to you – because who doesn’t love Kingsley longing for Søren? But if you’re new to Tiffany Reisz and this series, I think you could start here, get a taste for her writing, and see that this series, whenever she decides to pick it up, is in full swing. And fans flock to every offering of Kingsley, Nora, Søren and everyone else the author’s given us throughout this series!

I am not sure how you review this book other than to say Tiffany Reiz varies her style constantly.
This was a page turner, a puzzle and a joy to read.
Many twists and turns and a lot of her trade mark sexiness.
Will he won’t he?
Read for yourself to see.
5 stars

It's been no secret that this year has seen the Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz become my favourite series of all time. After finally starting these book in January, I have read and re-read them, and so when I heard that Kingsley was getting his own book where we go back in time to witness what he got up to during his time in the French Foreign Legion, I couldn't contain my excitement!


I dove in almost as soon as The Chateau hit my kindle, and I immediately got lost in Kingsley's world. Getting to know a younger Kingsley during the period of time where Søren wasn't in his life, at least not in the physical form anyway, was interesting to say the least.


I loved seeing this part of him - it was the Kingsley we love, all while also being someone new, at least to us. I loved his time at the Chateau, the twists, the memories, the whole ride. It was a thrilling and incredibly sexy read, which should come as no surprise being a novel about the one and only Kingsley Boissonneault. As soon as I finished, I went right back to the beginning. A fantastic addition to an incredible series.

The Chateau was quite interesting to say the least. There’s so many twists and turns that you don’t even realize how many mind games are played until the end. And even with some shocking answers, I was still left with many more questions. Kingsley plays the game rather well considering he’s at a bit of a disadvantage. Yet still, he gets what he truly wants in the end. This is one of those stories that keeps you engaged from start to finish. It’s intriguing in the sense that roles are reversed and you don’t always see that. I loved how Tiffany Reisz weaved the plot in order to keep the readers on their toes!

This is a DNF for me. I just couldn't get into it despite how hard I tried. I was lured in with the high reviews but now knowing that it's the 9th book in a series explains all the rave reviews.

I really suck at following up here on NetGalley but duh, it's a book about young Kingsley, that's like shooting fish in a barrel for me. I loved this story so much.

Kingsley has always been my favorite. Actually hold on… let me amend that – Soren, Nora, and Kingsley are loved equally, but in so many different ways. I only say Kingsley is my favorite because having spent most of the time/head of Kingley in this King-centric book.

We get story of King’s lost years in the Legionnaire. In this case, when he was sent to rescue a “lost” nephew in a sex cult. And because this is Tiffany’s writing nothing is ever black or white. While the life at the Chateau is eccentric, even by BDSM standards, it works for that house. Even completely open minded I was on a seesaw of emotions… hate and love… fear and turned on… back to rage for or even at all the characters.

While all that Kingsley endures in the book is hard to take or even put yourself in his shoes, essentially as a masochists he asked for. Unfortunately I am not one and my mental state is a bit wonky. So basically I had an absolute bestest (yes that’s a word now) read… hmmmm perhaps I do have a bit of masochist in me.

The Original Sinners series of books are some of my most favorite books ever. I find myself falling so deeply into each story; I pretty much can't put the book down once I start it. The Chateauwas no different as it stared Kingsley Edge when he was 24 years old and working for a secret French intelligence service. I absolutely adore that Tiffany Reisz gives us books in the series that lets us learn more about each of the character's back story. Yes readers knew about Kingsley's work with the French intelligence service, but not any specific cases he handled. Seriously I have to say if we got to read only about one of Kingsley's cases, him being sent to infiltrate a female-run sex cult was absolutely the perfect case to read.

I loved every single minute of The Chateau. I love to see how each character's mind works and Kingsley's is every bit as fun to watch as Søren or Nora. There was so much more than meets the eye to this story, and I loved seeing it all unfold. Erotic thriller description says right up front there are many smoking hot sex scenes, but they were really just so much more. I especially loved Kingsley's time with Madame as I think it truly put him back on the path to Søren and his future. I'll admit I had figured out part of what was going on with Madame and the reason for Kingsley being sent there, but not everything, and I love that I still get stumped after reading so many books in the Original Sinners series.

I honestly love each new installment in the Original Sinners series and devour it as soon as it hits my kindle. This series of books in my opinion is one you will love from the beginning, keep reading to see what it is all about, or just not enjoy it at all. For me it was a bumpy start, but then I fell in love with all the characters and now I anxiously await each new installment in the series. I'd love to say readers could start with The Chateau and not be a bit lost about the characters, but if there was ever a series of books to be read in order, The Original Sinners series is that series of books. Start with The Siren and keep reading until you make it to The Chateau. I promise it will be so worth reading the entire series.

Rating: 5 Stars (A)

The Chateau is an erotic thriller that will keep you up all night because it’s packed full of surprises and twist. It’s also funny, beautiful and a completed mind blown kind of read!

This is the ninth book in this series by this author. This is a erotic thriller story. This book is definitely one hot read. I haven't read any of the others in this series but i'll definitely be going back and reading more. Amazing characters with electric chemistry. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.



Highly recommended read.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book
