This is the first book I have read by this author, but it won't be my last. We meet Kingsley who is on a mission to rescue his commander's nephew from a sex cult. This story unfolds into an erotic thriller that I could not put down. I plan on going back to read the other books in this series.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving a review.

5 + AWESOME STARS!!

The Chateau is an erotic thriller, and is the 9th installment in the Original Sinners series, but with twists and turns. This is a standalone, and if you're new to this series or the author, this is a great way to start your new delicious addiction.

Exquisitely subtle, deeply meaningful, scorching hot and a very intense blast from the past, were we get more of this amazing character we're all fascinated and crazy about it. A younger version of Kingsley on his early 20's trying to infiltrate a so called sex cult in order to run a rescue mission.

I wish I can go on and share more with you, but it wouldn't be fair spoiling the story for you, just trust me when I say that you'll be falling deeper for King.

The writing is superb. Tiffany Reisz is remarkably gifted at not only bringing the story to life, but in masterfully writing BDSM scenes that are something to behold to.

I highly recommend this book!!

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review, but in addition I've purchased my own copy. Thank you!!

This is, apparently, the ninth in a series, but I read it as a standalone. I’m sure I missed a lot of backstory, especially as it’s framed as two lovers having a conversation about an event from one man’s past that he’d never told the other about. This is not a romance – there’s no HEA or HFN – but it is an enjoyable romp of an erotic spy thriller.

“I told you they fuck with you here,” Leon said. “Didn’t I? They fuck with all of us all the time.”
“Then why do you want to stay?”
Leon looked at him like he was crazy. “Everyone fucks with everyone all the time. Might as well get fucked with by beautiful women who let you fuck them after. Really, what’s there to complain about?”
Kingsley shook his finger at the boy. “You make a point.”


It’s set in the late 80s, mostly in France, and stars Kingsley, a cynical spy for a nameless French government organization. Unlike his usual assignments of killing Nazis or KGB, instead he’s sent to find the nephew of his boss, who’s disappeared into a femme-domme sex cult in the French countryside. OK, the plot sounds absolutely bonkers when put like that, and honestly it is a bit over the top, but Kingsley is such a fascinating character. He’s intelligent and observant (he is, after all, a spy) but he also has some surprising soft spots, including one for an ex-boyfriend he still loves.

“Life had given him so much pain and suffering, it made no sense to him that he craved more of it. Maybe that’s why he’d called Madame. Because if anyone knew the answer to why he craved pain when life had given him more than enough of it, it would be her.”


The book is chock full of kinky sex. Kingsley is into masochism, several of the women are into sadism, and there’s some other random kinkiness thrown in for good measure. Most of this is completely not my thing, but a lot of it is about discovering who these characters are through their actions – sexual and otherwise – and I loved the thriller plot. Why is the colonel so worried about his nephew? Is the nephew actually being held against his will? Why did all of the other operatives sent to infiltrate the cult fail?

Overall, this was quite enjoyable, and I’ve put the first in the series on my TBR. Recommended if you’re looking for a bit of kinky spy erotica!

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

5 "January Eyes" stars
iffany is not a writer, she's a conjurer, a magician. Her books are optical illusions and the moment you open the pages, you step into the Narnia of her creation. The outside world forgotten, you are now trapped willingly in her dungeons where demons come out to play. Søren, Mistress Nora, and now Kinglsey.
Reading her books is akin to baptism, you just get dunked in her words like holy water and your hidden kinky guilty pleasures get absolved of all shame. I felt a Euphoria that was religious and supernatural. 
I opened the page, met Kingsley and Madame, and ever since I've been having an out-of-body experience. It's an inexplicable phenomenon, you truely start believing in this mythical world and it's superhumans.
Kinsley Edge, who we met in the Original Sinners books is John Kingsley here.
His cover was “John Kingsley Edge,” a twenty-seven-year-old American mystery novelist— as yet unpublished, living out his Hemingway-in-Paris dreams. 
Having served as a Legionnaire, now his missions are covert, lethal & dangerous. By day he's occupied and focused, it's the nights that haunts him. His lover invades his dreams and taunts him mercilessly. He of wounded pride and bruised ego, refuses to accept the shameless love.
“How do I find you again?” Kingsley asks. 
“Please, tell me before I wake.”
“You don’t find me,” the boy says. “I find you.”
“Find me then.”
“When it’s time.”
“When will it be time?”
“When you find you.” 
He is wandering like a spirit in limbo, seeking absolution and acceptance from his lover, Marcus Stearns.
A new mission takes him to the Secret Chateau, a Madame who he wants to go logger heads with and a deep seated desire to be a submissive. All this confusion makes him blind to the fact that he's way over his head in the game of chess played between Alice & Colonel Masson. Recovery mission soon becomes Rechérché mission. A search for his own closure, his own soul-sorting.
"This place definitely seemed too good to be true. 
Beautiful, intelligent, kinky women. 
An elegant luxurious château. 
Quiet. Serenity. Refinement. Fucking amazing food. 
A sadist. An exquisite, vicious, delicious sadist… Oh, there had to be a catch."
I've become a HUGE fan of her style of writing. Her books should hang in a museum like art masterpieces, for all the world to admire. Andrew calls himself her manservant and I'm uniquely jealous of his standing at this moment now. She's a true Madame of BDSM writing, low key, confident in her talent, amidst the so called pseudo-intellectuals claiming authenticity.
“He tied you up to tell you he never wanted you to leave him. 
He bit you because you were the food to his soul. 
He struck you to mark you as his possession, as a valuable he would want returned to him if lost or stolen. 
That’s why you miss it, Kingsley. 
That’s why you miss the pain. 
Because every time he hurt you, he was trying to tell you in the only way he could how much he loved you.” 
And here I thought, the pain was all about breaking the body and spirit. It's more about restoration, wiping the slate clean and rebuilding of a submissive in a master's own image. Customising a human, sort of!!!! Thank you Tiffany!
I bet she laughs in her corner everyday, polishing her crown, with Søren by her side, a step behind and when she closes the heavy wooden doors to play with her characters and chronicle their wicked games, i get a weird feeling, that the corner seat in the playroom where Kingsley and Colette have their wedding night, is not just a figment of my imagination and one time, maybe Queen Reiss is/was an occupant?!!!!. 
I swear my mind is playing tricks. Like I said, opening her book is like gazing in the crystal ball. You can't believe what your eyes read.
The Chateau is a central character. It's walls throbbing with playful intrigue, trap doors, secret chambers and trick games add to the allure & mystery. Free will is an illusion. You're a puppet as soon as you pick up the phone to seek admittance.
Of the characters, Madame is of course the most interesting, Polly and Colette are, dutiful servants or perverted playactors.....I've yet to decide. If they were genuine, they deserve accolades for their Oscar worthy performances. I mean the lip biting virgin act of Colette had me going soft on her.
Polly was right about one thing. Kingsley is adorable little boy, craving non sexual touch and care, just made me wanted to hug him tight. Hide him in my embrace.
“Bonne chance, Madame.” The sentiment was sincere. This is what he came here for, after all— to be free once and for all of the hold that boy in the forest had on him. Or die trying."
By this time I was really teary eyed. Enough already Marcus!!! 
His extreme kinks give him a path to absolution at least, for that I'm eternally grateful. 
I swam through this blazing story, red hot fiery lust filled river, I dunked, soaked, steamed and came out plenished. A fantastical journey, that ought to be mandatory guide to all the wannabe BDSM writers. A benchmark to measure up to. Now I have to go bavvk to the start and read Søren & Nora
“Ah,One more regret for the butcher’s bill.”

I feel like I say this about every single Tiffany Reisz book I read but I can't help it. I'm powerless against her word sorcery and The Chateau once again shows that--I couldn't put it down, sleep be damned. Fans of her Original Sinners series are going to LOVE The Chateau and a chance to see two of their favorite characters again and readers who are brand new to this particular book world will be equally enamored with it because the references to the series are woven so smoothly that you don't need to know anything about these characters to enjoy this novel as a stand alone novel.

It's completely absorbing, this novel, and I don't really know where to start. So I'll just say that I loved getting to see Kingsley in his more youthful days--to see him experience things that had a huge impact on his adult life and to see how he and Madame worked through some things that they both had in common (some of the discussions they had were so very insightful). I enjoyed trying to put all the puzzle pieces together before things were revealed and I especially enjoyed the very last section.

So, in summary, I love all things Tiffany Reisz and The Chateau is definitely a must read!

I picked this one up on NetGalley when I was in the mood for something different. I didn't realize it was a part of a series, let alone book 9 in that series. I had no clue till I went to mark on Goodreads that I was reading it. That being said, I haven't read any of The Original Sinners series so take that into account when reading my review. 

I do enjoy Tiffany's books. Some are very hot and heavy on the erotica, and some are very story driven. This is kinda both but more erotica. I liked the story behind The Chateau and that was probably my favorite part of the book. 

The characters were also an enjoyable part of the book. Kingsley took a bit to get invested in but I really liked Madame. 

I'm not sure if this was enough to push me to read the previous books but I did like this book. Everyone of Tiffany's books is an experience and I'm looking forward to her next one.

5 “God Bless America” Stars

What in the world did I just read? Tiffany Reisz sure does spin a web in her storytelling. One that you must read thoroughly or you miss little tidbits that change the whole story.

Sitting down and devouring this story, I figured out that Catherine was one person that you wouldn’t want on you bad side. She is a puzzle maker, cutting each piece to perfection, allowing each piece to fit together perfectly.

Kingsley is at the Chateau for work. He is going to locate a young man who has just up and left his family. He’s joined this ‘cult’ that no one has been able to crack and get into. Leave it up to the exceptionally trained Kingsley to get past Catherine’s test and into the Chateau.

Read this story carefully, work the pieces of the puzzle before trying to make the picture beautiful. There is a proper way that the pieces fit and once you’ve put them together, what a story the picture tells!!!

Absolutely loved The Chateau! Sometimes I find myself whispering this too…
”It’s all right… It was just a dream.

#BookBistroBlogApproved

‘I love you. I still love you. I hate you. I still hate you. I want you. I’ll always want you. I only left you so you’d come and find me. Come and find me. Find me and come.’

Another brilliant instalment in the world of Tiffany Reisz’s Original Sinners series. We travel back to when Kingsley is a mere twenty four year old Lieutenant in France. He is a rogue under orders. A man running from the one who owns his heart, sent on an undercover investigation and retrieval mission. Where better to try and disappear yet find yourself than inside the house of a sex cult who celebrate the Story of O?! With Søren very much playing on the mind and in the heart of our beloved Frenchman we learn of a time when introspection and soul searching takes the lead through the manipulations of the illustrious Madame.

‘Use me. Hurt me. Destroy me because you’re the one who created me. Kill me because you’re my only reason for living. Find me because I’m lost without you.’

The elusive Madame drew out the vulnerable side of our cocky lovable Frenchman who has a penchant for sarcastic humour and erotic thrills. I really felt the breath of Søren on the back of my neck as I was reading. His presence felt in the shadows of every word written. The invader of dreams and fantasies. Kingsley goes on a journey -which clearly- as we now know left a permanent imprint on his life thereafter. Thrilling, kinky, erotic and emotional. A story of a strong women and a man who’s somewhat lost.

“He broke me. In so many ways, he broke me. He broke me until I was happy I was so broken. The more pieces of me there were, the more pieces of me there were for him to break into even smaller pieces. By the time he was done with me I was nothing but shards. If I’d spent another day with him, I would have been the dust on the bottom of his shoe.”

I swear I say this every time I review, but this series, these characters- they truly are my heart. I immerse myself so fully I convince myself I’m part of the story. An active character in the shape of a voyeur and eager participant. I can’t get enough, I will never have enough. I will inhale every single instalment Tiffany Reisz releases. Every book a brilliantly written piece of a wonderful and epic puzzle which has me falling in love all over again.

“He tied you up to tell you he never wanted you to leave him. He bit you because you were the food to his soul. He struck you to mark you as his possession.”

***I received an ebook copy from the author at no cost***

I could write a whole book about why I love Kingsley Boissonneault. He's easily one of my top five favorite characters ever written by any author. The Chateau is all about him, and Reisz did us good.

King is young in this book, a mere 24-years-old. He's cocky, loves to have as many women as he can, and continues to nurse memories from the boy who owned him years earlier. When he's sent on a mission to investigate a sex cult he gets more than he bargains for, and ends up on a personal journey of all things erotic and BDSM in the meantime.

The idea of the chateau itself both intrigued and excited me. A castle full of men who are subservient to women. The castle itself is based off The Story of O (which I now feel like I must read). Madame is intelligent and captivating, and knows when and how to wield her power. I quite enjoyed her character, and am hoping that we might get another glimpse of her in future books.

I loved seeing Kingsley before he became the well-known man he is in present-day times of the series. His journey in this book, at the chateau, was instrumental in helping shape him into the man he becomes. His relationship with Madame reminded me of his with Søren in some aspects, but Madame has her own way of interacting with subs and slaves. Kingsley discovered himself in ways that he hadn't before. I'm not going to give out spoilers, but I can confidently say that any fan of Kingsley will love where Reisz takes him in this book. (And seeing him all vulnerable, as a submissive ... Unf. So amazing.)

Kingsley and Søren's relationship is referenced a few times throughout the book. King still aches for his former lover. Some of his time in the chateau is reminiscent of the time he spent with Søren. Søren appears in King's dreams pretty frequently, which broke my heart a bit and gave me butterflies.

When it comes to erotica, especially of the BDSM variety, Reisz is my go-to author. Her imagination knows no bounds. Every word of The Chateau was deliciously sinful, and the different scenes were smart, sexy, and hot. Reisz's writing is, as always, captivating and vivid. With The Chateau, she's crafted a tale full of surprises and, through which she plays beautiful games with words and left me stunned and craving more. The characters are amazing, the plot is gold, and everything moved along at a perfect pace. I couldn't put the book down once I got started.

This book can be read as a standalone, although I would recommend reading the whole series because the characters are INCREDIBLE.

If you're looking for a suspenseful and intriguing BDSM story, The Chateau is one story you won't want to miss.

Kingsley gets a permanent spot at the top of every book boyfriend list imaginable. And The Chateau gets the Wordaholic Must Read seal of approval.

Five stars to this novel!

I love TiffanyReisz books so I knew that this one would be no different and it wasn't. It's fun and kinky and sexy without turning into the bad porn that we see so much of. It's definitely entertaining and it becomes something you don't expect. Can't wait for her next book. So this pick up and enjoy it as much as I did. Happy reading!

When you are a Lieutenant for the French Military, assignments can vary from day to day. For Kingsley – the latest assignment entrusted to him is to infiltrate a secret sex club. A mission that is both intriguing and just the kind of thing that required the finesse that only Kingsley could give. What Kingsley finds when attempting to complete his assignment will lead him down a path that only the Sinners could experience.

Finding the Chateau via Madame, Kingsley quickly learns that men do not dominate in piece of paradise. Women reign supreme and are willing to show Kingsley how much fun it can actually be. The only person Kingsley had ever ‘served’ was Soren. Life at the Chateau certainly changed how Soren felt and reacted to exploring submission. Games were found throughout the Chateau, but one thing remained the same, Kingsley’s devotion to Soren.



Don’t you get excited when you realize Tiffany Reisz is giving you another glimpse inside the lives of your favorite Sinners? The Chateau is a bit different from the other books in the Sinners series. In this novel, we follow a young Kingsley through the trials of pleasure, remnants of pain, and a good helping of uncovering the strength within his soul. A fine testament to the depths of which Kingsley’s devotion for Soren comes to light.



One of the interesting parts of this story is the introduction of Madame. A colorful and intriguing woman that certainly knows all about Kingsley and his past. Madame has lived her own torment, and her interest and sexual prowess is certainly peaked when Kingsley is introduced to life at the Chateau. As readers have come to expect, Reisz’s ability to write the most interesting BDSM books is once again front and center in this story. The eroticism a bit more unique that past Sinner tales, but interesting non the less. The Chateau is a great addition that fills you in on the missing years of Kingsley’s life that you definitely do NOT want to miss!!

While Kingsley Théophile Boissonneault sleeps alone in Paris, he dreams about endless winter, about wolves and about a boy dressed in white.

He’s tried desperately to exorcise the memory of the one he can’t have by signing up for every dangerous mission that he could. Until he is ordered to save a young boy who is being held captive at a mysterious Chateau. And it might turn out to be the most perilous assignment of all.

“Then why did you come here?”
“My own reasons.”
“You wish to serve, do you?”
Kingsley whispered, “Yes.”
She said nothing. The blade remained flush against his neck, cool and sharp.
“You betray your mission easily,” she said. “Why is that?”
“Because fuck my mission. Leon is nineteen. And I don’t want to lie to you.”
“And why is that?”
“For my job I have to lie to everyone. I’d like to tell the truth to someone before I forget how.”

Inside the Chateau, a woman known simply as Madame offers to give Kingsley the life that he always longed for. A life filled with intoxicating pleasure and pain. A life where his passion would never go unrequited and one where he would finally know what is was like to be called a father.

But Kingsley must choose between his heart’s desire and the owner of his soul. And he knows that whatever choice he makes, he will never be the same again.

“Where are you, you monster?” Kingsley breathed, shuddering with need as he wandered down the hall. “You should be here. This is where your kind belongs. And mine.” For they were the same, he and his monster. And truly, who was the more depraved—the boy sadist or the grown man who would have knelt to him on this fetid floor? Even now Kingsley was hard, his breaths shallow, his cock aching. Seven years ago, he’d whispered to his master, “There is nothing you could do to me I wouldn’t want…” And in this cold dark dungeon corridor, Kingsley knew those words were still true. More true than ever. Indeed, the only truth he knew. If his monster were only here now…

“I want you,” Kingsley whispered. “I still want you with every cell in my body.”

With The Chateau, Tiffany not only delivers an erotically charged thriller but also a heartbreaking love story with an emotional punch that will bring you to your knees.

She reveals a side of Kingsley that we’ve never seen before. This is the man that longs for someone to love him with the same ferocity as he loves. And the side of him that desperately yearns for children of his very own.

It’s scandalous, poetic, poignant and life affirming in a way that only The Original Sinners can be. And it’s why our hunger for more from these iconic characters will never ever be satisfied…

Lieutenant Kingsley Boissonneault works for the secretive French military intelligence agency as an undercover spy and assassin. And by undercover, he literally is under covers quite a bit. When his next unusual assignment has him investigating a sex cult, Kingsley is finally tested with a mission that he’s not quite sure he wants to complete.

“The kiss isn’t kind, isn’t erotic, isn’t sensual, isn’t sweet. It’s punitive. It hurts. Kingsley loves how much it hurts. His mouth is invaded, taken over, conquered. Violated.”

I had no idea until opening this book how much I missed Kingsley! He has always been my favorite character and that snarky Frenchman just jumped right off the page and grabbed me! (I didn’t resist). This story gave some insight of one of Kingsley’s adventures while in the French Foreign Legion. Only Kingsley would be given a mission involving a sex cult with female Dommes…nothing he does really surprises me. But this story was just fun because we got to see some of Kingley’s playful side but also how much he missed Soren when they were apart. It really made me want to go back and read the Original Sinners series to feel the beginning of their relationship all over again. I love the idea of standalone Original Sinner books and I hope we get more of our favorite kinky characters. I feel like they must have missed me as much as I missed them since they marked my heart.

I swear with the different types of books that Tiffany has been writing lately she could write a science text book and I’d devour it. I love the way her mind works and can’t wait to see what she has for me next…please don’t be a science text book.

The Chateau was a wonderful reminder of why I fell in love with Tiffany Reisz’s writing. Not only does she make kink sexy, she also makes it funny and smart and painfully real – pun intended. For me, she is also Mistress of the Mindfuck and Kingsley’s tale of sexual discovery definitely delivers in all the best ways.

Okay sure, his mission to “investigate” a “sex cult” sounds like the makings of a bad porno, but I can assure you The Chateau is far from that. It’s an erotic thriller in which our French hero gets to play James Bond and spread his baby kinkster wings while surrounded by… pussy… galore. Yes I went there.

Those familiar with Kingsley Edge of Original Sinners fame will not at all be surprised that Kingsley Boissonneault makes a fantastic hero even in his twenties – smart, sexy and deadly. His ennui leaves him no room to escape the memories tormenting him, so he is more than happy to dash off into the unknown to investigate the enigmatic and beautiful Madame.

Thus begins Kingsley’s journey of self-discovery. Or in his case, a rediscovery. Since joining the French Legion, he had reverted to his skirt-chasing ways and abstained from kink. But at the feet of Madame and her brand of tough love (spoiler alert: that’s an understatement), he learns to accept all the facets that make up his true nature. She was as much mother figure as she was personal tormentor, and her lessons left a lasting impression on young Kingsley.

To be honest, I never really connected with Madame, but I’m not really sure I was meant to. To borrow a reference from the book, the story had a decidedly Alice Through the Looking Glass feel to it and possessed a surreal, dreamlike quality. The plot was twisted and cruel – something I’ve come to expect from Reisz – but what held my attention was young Kingsley and his overwhelming charm, bravado and yes, innocence. My absolute favorite part was the sharp repartee between the characters (another Reisz signature) – funny, cutting, and often both. I was thoroughly amused by the early exchange between King and his blundering colleague, but seriously, a smitten Kingsley had me flat-out weeping with laughter.

Make no mistake though, despite some warm and cuddly moments, The Chateau is more Anne Rice erotic fantasy than Disney fairy tale. Reisz fans will adore this glimpse into young Kingsley’s life but I also believe the book is successful as a standalone. Either way, you can’t go wrong with a little Kingsley in your life. Or a lot of Kingsley, for that matter.

3.5 stars

only person he’s ever loved.

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’ve always been curious about Kingsley’s time in the French Foreign Legion, so I was excited to hear about this story. And while I do wish there had been more to that, I still enjoyed The Chateau. I was surprised (but then again not) about how blasé he was during this time in his life. It was typical Kingsley, but I thought if ever there was a time Kingsley was going to be serious, it would during his time in the military. I always love Kingsley, but this book really highlighted my favorite Kingsley – the masochist. There is something about this man when he’s not in control that is so damn sexy. I think because, in present day books, he radiates power and strength. I love when it’s stripped away.I did love the premise of this series, because putting a challenge in front of Kings is always a good time. I loved everything about how he got to the chateau, and once there, there was, as always, a lot of hot sex. It’s mind boggling to me how this author can take even casual sex and make it so meaningful. But I will say, about 60% into this story, it slowed down for me. Luckily it picked back up at the end, and when Madame enters Kingsley’s life once more, it’s clear he will never be the same.

I really enjoyed this glimpse into Kingsley’s past, and what seemed to an event that left quite an impression on him. The Chateau was very layered and there were some twists that I didn’t see coming. If you’re a fan of The Original Sinners series, you’re going to want to pick this latest installment up!

This review was originally posted on Books & Beauty Are My Bag.

A sexy BDSM read in a whole other level mix in with thriller and this book definitely become one of my favorites from Tiffany Reisz and definitely a MUST-READ.
This book is about our Lieutenant Kingsley investigating a sex cult, oh yeah, the King and a sex cult and with powerful Madame teasing him to the other side, oh yesssss this sure has story that keeps you turning page after page, you can't stop reading it wondering what will happen next.
The twists and the turns, the hotness and the steaminess and all the banter and the joke, even something that makes me cringe described so beautifully.
Love everything from the first chapter.

As for characters, well is The King, so what's not to like, right?!?! And in this book we can see the other side of King, and it makes me love him more.
And Madame, well you really need to experience her firsthand. She's definitely an interesting character.

If you love sexy beautiful read with twists and turns, this book is a MUST for you.

✦ Erotic thriller that fucks with your head and has plenty of kink. NOT a romance

✦ As with this entire series, I can only describe it as “it’s complicated but I fucking love it.”

✦ I think this line from an interview with Tiffany sums up the book nicely: "The pitch was, “Kingsley goes on an erotic adventure inside a femme-domme cult.” The story pretty much wrote itself. It’s James Bond with blow jobs, BDSM, and an angst-ridden bisexual hero still in love with his ex-boyfriend"


There are some books that you love even if the kink inside is not your kink. And that's definitely the case with this book/series. I don't want to be in the characters' shoes 99.99% of the time, yet Tiffany has a way with the world and characters and just her voice in general that makes me adore every moment I spend in the book, regardless of being a bit out of my element while doing so.

Simone gets her story told in November and I cannot fucking wait!

5 <b> Looking Glass Stars </b>

Lets start this review with some honesty since Madame likes to flay me and take my secrets.
I am starting this book series on #9… I thought I would be compeltly lost.. but oddly I am not lost. And it was soooo tasty!!!

This story is about Kingsley who is a French American spy/murderer for hire ish. And his assignment is to infiltrate the chateau and rescue a man being held captive. Kinsley doesn’t even hear the rest of the assignment before he agrees to be willingly thrown into the cult. As Kingsley channels the story of O he knows without a doubt he will infliltrate the commune and learn everything about them. And he will give himself over to the pleasure and the pain.
<b>“You see, it’s not what I can do to you. It’s what you’ll allow me to do to you. If your willingness to suffer is infinite, then my capacity to hurt you is bottomless.” </b>

I like that this book shows the differnet levels of BDSM. And really shows that it’s a game of consent. The book is a game of tests and lies and secrets. Also the sex scenes are not traditional and yet somehow they are arousing beyond belief.
The book ends and then I realized


<img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/xUPGcpfvIsVNeOAZgI/giphy.gif" width="40" height="100" alt="description"/>

Because the book you thought you were reading all along… isn’t the book you actually read ..

Well done Madame !!! Well Done!





my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2341372659

I am a huge fan of this series, I'm not going to lie. I absolutely love the characters and Kingsley is no different. I loved going back to a younger Kingsley and seeing a different side to the man I thought I knew and loved. An outstanding read and I would recommend it without a second thought.

3'5 stars, actually
A kind and funny reading with one the main characters of the Original Sinners world created by Tiffany Reisz.
I must admit that Kingsley is not my favourite character but this book is like him, witty, funny, hot and a bit touching. It must be read after The Queen and the rest of novellas situated in this world because it's narrated from the present, although the main story is one adventures (and a very important one) lived by a young Kingsley.
Everything Tiffany Reisz writes is very sexy, kinky and a bit of emotional and this book is no exception. I think all the Original Sinners fans are going to like it. There's a little mistery, a lot of things that became part of the Kingsley we know... and a lot of Soren's presence.

My review in Spanish:
3'5 estrellitas.
Una lectura amable situada en el universo de los Original Sinners (O.S.) y que tiene a Kingsley como protagonistas con la omnipresencia casi permanente de ÉL. Aunque la trama tal y como la dejamos en el 8 de los O.S. no avanza entiendo que se considere el 9 porque es una novela de longitud normal y porque cuenta una experiencia pasada de Kingsley desde el presente, con lo que es necesario conocer en qué punto dejamos a los personajes principales.
Dicho esto os comento que me ha entretenido bastante aunque teniendo en cuenta que Kingsley no es mi personaje favorito de la serie sus libros siempre me gustan un poquito menos. Sin enbargo para los fans de los O.S. creo que es una lectura necesaria y que va a gustar ya que la Reisz, como siempre en ella, hace que este libro encaje como un puzle en todo el universo que ha inventado (que a estas alturas menudo pisto es), dándonos las claves de muchos comportamientos futuros de Kingsley. Digamos que antes de lo que pasa en este libro Kingsley era una persona y después de él, empieza a ser la persona que conocemos.
Como siempre en Tiffany Reisz es un libro estupendamente bien escrito, con destellos del humor del que Kingsley siempre hace gala (aquí es algo más serio de lo habitual), mujeres fuertes, detalles sueltos que nos llegan al corazoncito a los fans y con BDSM y sexo explícitos (y no me refiero a tres azotes en el culete y todos tan campantes, me refiero a cosas más fuertes y a ver el BDSM como modo de vida).
Y todo esto mezclado con una especie de misterio a resolver (que al final se resuelve torpemente) que anima un poco más la lectura ya que te da la sensación de no estar ante un libro de folleteo nada más sino ante una historia más completa.
En fin, que es una lectura entretenida que nos va a dejar a los fans con ganas de volver a pasar un ratito con nuestros O.S. favoritos.
