Kingsley Boissonneault works as an undercover officer for the French military intelligence agency. He is offered a different mission involving infiltrating a cult to rescue his commanding officer’s nephew. The question is whether he wants to be rescued and whether Kingsley will want to leave once he gets there…
Tiffany weaves a rich and intense tapestry of emotions and characters in a gripping and twisting storyline. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This erotic thriller definitely had a sinister feeling that I couldn’t seem to shake. 

Getting a glimpse into Kingsley’s past was very eye opening. And disturbing. This Chateau is like no other. But it’s a time in his life where, I believe, it was a major turning point. Choices were made that shaped him into the man he is today. 

Being 24 he was still young, and yet he had more life experiences than most people in their 40s. So when he goes on a mission to the Chateau, he thinks it’ll be easy. But there was nothing easy about this. 

This book was a real page turner. In fact, I read and read and the next thing I know, it’s over. This had my heart racing practically the entire time. And I’ll admit, I even gasped once or twice. 

Tiffany Reisz is a wizard of words. This world she creates is nothing that can ever be duplicated or copied. Magnificent!!

I'm not sure why this is billed as a standalone because it's certainly a great addition to the Original Sinners series.  It's a prequel of sorts about part of Kingsley's life as a young man and you need to have read the series to understand much of what is in the book.  In any case, it's terrific.  Kingsley fans will love getting to know him better.

As usual, the author posts interesting questions via her characters and let's them answer those questions in a very thought provoking way. 

Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARCgiven in exchange for my honest review.

This is my first encounter with a book by Tiffany Reisz and even though this is the 9th book in "The Original Sinners" series I picked it up and read it with no problems at all. The Chateau can be read as a total standalone story. I was very excited to get to read a book by this author as i'd heard so many good things about her writing from my friends and so being intrigued and with a need to judge for myself, im very happy to say that I was so impressed with how fast I became engrossed in this story and I absolutely loved the writing style of this author. The words just seemed to flow so well that I couldn't help myself from turning page after page and before I knew it i'd finished the book.
Kingsley is such a brilliant character with so much charm, intelligence and wit that you can't help but like him. Madam even though she is a total enigma is such a wonderful character, she made the story feel a little dark and dangerous which I totally loved. One moment she is like a warm and loving mother giving comfort to her family and the next she is a twisted and vicious temptress that likes to give out lashes, lies and pain. Together Madam and Kingsley were a toxic mix of a willing slave with his sadistic mistress who used his fears against him.
I loved everything about this book, it was beautifully thought out and took me on an amazing journey with it's characters. It deserves 5 wonderful Stars!

Ok, don't freak out everybody but this is the first Original Sinner's book I have read. I know, I know, trust me I will remedy that soon. That being said, I had no issues reading this book and I feel it can be read as a standalone.

Whew, Kingsley, holy sexiness personified Batman! This book had me from the very first page. Kingsley is working his sexy way through all the co-eds in Paris while recovering from his last mission. He is starting to feel a little restless when he is asked to go on an unusual mission to find a young man who is being held by a sex cult. This young man also happens to be the bosses son. Yea, no pressure there. But, when Kingsley meets the mysterious Madame, she turns his world upside down! This story is filled with intense sexiness, intrigue, danger and mystery. It truly kept me guessing until the end. 

Tiffany Reisz is a master of her craft, her writing pulls you in and doesn't let you go even after the story is finished.

The Chateau takes us back to a time BEFORE Kingsley built his empire.

A time he spent with another sadist, who taught him about a few things he needed to learn about his own sadist.

I always wondered where Kingsley came up with the idea for his kinky empire, and this is the story of that idea. But also the story of how Kingsley was found again by his true love, his blonde sadist. The Chateau is a beautiful, sexy, love affair with a world few understand. Madame may teach Kingsley a thing or two about pain, but also about games. And how a true sadist mind games can help you clear your mind and make the decisions your heart desires.

For all the original sinners, you will love this story. It really was an insight into Kingsley that we yet haven't had the chance to see

4.5 Stars!

At 24 years old, Kingsley Boissonneault is a Lieutenant in a French military agency. Upon being given a new assignment to infiltrate what appears to be a kinky cult, Kingsley sets course to complete his mission. However, he doesn’t expect his personal life to intersect with work, and as a result, he learns more than he could have hoped.

With Kingsley, there is never a dull moment and though he approaches this assignment with his usual vigor and lustful nature, he learns that his adversary is quite talented in her sadistic practices. While performing the tasks required of him, Kingsley returns to a past where he once surrendered to Søren. Quickly realizing Madame doesn’t have any limits, King plays her game because to play is to win. 

As this plot takes the reader down a certain path, it becomes clear that not all is what it seems. Passing each test, Kingsley advances until the final level becomes a truth that he’s always known. Showing his vulnerability, Madame is relentless in her pursuit causing my heart to break for King.

Madame is an interesting character who might seem like another well-known Original Sinner sadist, but she is quite different in her methods. With her motivations, Madame is a force to be revered and yet feared. While Kingsley is looking for answers, Madame is able to turn his world on its axis. 

Throughout, Kingsley has his usual charming, sexy moments but grasping the level of his loneliness during this time underscores his connection to Søren and his need to submit. With his time at The Chateau, Madame proves to be a crucial element in King’s future. 

The Chateau is an erotic and thrilling story that offers introspection and shows the depth these characters will take to obtain answers. Plus, getting more of Kingsley is always a good thing, as he never disappoints.

The story of the Chateau is Kingsley in his prime. He's 24 and working for the French military intelligence agency. It's seven years since he'd lost Soren and now spends every night with a different woman in his bed.  

The Chateau is ninth book in The Original Sinners series.  The story returns us to a time in between. 

"Through the looking glass where everything is backwards."

Kingsley is given an unusual assignment. He's to infiltrate a sex cult that worships the Story of O. It couldn't have come at a better time. Kingsley had been feeling lost and alone.  He could use some insight through the looking glass where men served women and a  sadistic Madame that could bring Kingsley to his knees.  

In the Chateau we discover the youthful Kingsley. When he still held hope for love and family. He was romantic flirt. In the Chateau he's given the opportunity to have it all except his one true love. The Chateau takes the best of eroticism and the beauty of hope to the next level. 5 Stars

"Find me because I'm lost without you."
Take a decadent yet mysterious journey with the notorious, kinky Kingsley Edge at the age of twenty-seven to "The Chateau"... a journey of self-discovery where even the All-Mighty "King" is decimated to knowing absolutely NOTHING and yet realizing EVERYTHING! Suffering years and years of terrifying nightmares he comes to accept one thing... he cannot stay away from the person who created him... his only reason for living... because it is only through PAIN that he truly feels how it is to love and be loved. Tiffany Reisz is an evil sorceress who has the power to weave stories that keep you prisoner to her books... The "Original Sinners" series is so addictive that no matter how many MORE books she adds to this collection, you'll never get enough! 5+ Angst-Ridden Stars to a sensual adventure into a femme-domme cult where all dreams come true?!!?!!

To me, every new Original Sinners story is a gift. There are always delicious new discoveries about these characters I’ve grown to love so much, and The Chateau is another treasure wrapped in twisted silk ribbons. 

Featuring a 24 year old Kingsley Edge during his time as an agent in the French military, he is charged to infiltrate a supposed sex cult. However, the mission takes a personal turn. His time at the Chateau and with Madame (a brilliantly crafted new character!) sheds beautiful and tragic light on the man King becomes—with Tiffany Reisz’s signature style that is so much fun to read yet is deeply emotional with some jaw-dropping twists. A master storyteller, she had me smiling and laughing one minute then clutching my aching chest the next. In the end, I felt like I ran a marathon and tears were welling up in my eyes. 

I loved every word of this fun and erotic thriller, and King’s character now holds an even deeper place in my heart. This is a must read for Sinners fans.

Note: Though The Chateau could be considered a prequel, I highly recommend reading the series in order for full emotional impact. There are insights into Kingsley’s character that I think you won’t fully appreciate if you haven’t read his full story.

THE CHATEAU: AN ORIGINAL SINNERS NOVEL

We get a glimpse back at Kingsley life as a spy. And what a twisted story we get, as we go into the looking glass to the world turned upside down. When Kingsley is sent on a mission to expose a sex cult what he actually finds inside the chateau is a place where women rule and the men serve.  

Madame, a woman of wisdom, power, and beauty. And oh by the way a sadist. Why does Kingsley attract the cruelest sadists.  And when offered his deepest desire but at a cost, give up the boy in white.

The Chateau is a new standalone Original Sinners novel from international bestseller Tiffany Reisz, author of The Siren and The Bourbon Thief.

This story was unbelievably good!  I love Kingsley's character and to see his vulnerability and his masochistic nature.  The story revolved around Kingsley Edge, the King of Kink in the 8th circle of New York from The Sinners Series by Ms. Reisz.  He is very jaded throughout the series with hints of his vulnerability and love for a certain priest.  In this story of the Chateau, we can see how he got some ideas for his own Kingdom from a very powerful, yet genteel sadist who was only known as Madame.  Madame was a master of mental manipulation but saved her best games for the lucky few in which Kingsley made the cut.  He was given the assignment to find the Colonel's nephew within the chateau, but not only did he find the nephew, he found himself.  The games that were played were truly diabolical and I loved every minute of it!  From the sadistic games of the Madame that made me cringe, but be in utter delight and made me giddy to the compassion I felt for Kingsley in the torture that he endured through his desire and the Madame's.  I wanted to read the story again immediately after I was done, so that I wouldn't miss any minute details, it was that good.  It was a phenomenal story by a phenomenal writer.  Absolutely loved it all the way around.

The Chateau: The first of the Original Sinners books to make me gasp more at the plot reveals than the sex scenes

As a reader of all Tiffany Reisz’s books to date, including the The Red, I thought I was hard to shock. And yet, Ms Reisz found a way. And I enjoyed every letter of it.  This novel is a big step closer to the thriller genre, which she’s toyed with in stand alone titles recently.

I simply had to love this book.  Kingsley is one of my favourite characters – rakish, witty, sassy and fun. It was a delight to be immersed in his 20s, during is service with La Légion (the French Foreign Legion).  And what an extraordinary assignment he enjoyed in these pages!

Ms Reisz knows how to give good fan service, with a cameo fans will recognise from her other works, along with many mentions and memories of a well known blond boy.

In terms of new characters, Madame and her family are strong, thoroughly enchanting female characters. As Ms Reisz explained “[Vanity Fair said Famed dominatrix Catherine Robbe-Grillet] makes Fifty Shades of Grey look like a Disney movie. Madame makes Mistress Nora look like a Disney Princess.”

“All over the world right now… girls are being raised in homes where they’re expected to serve men- first their fathers and then their husbands. The boys get the jobs outside the home and the girls get the cooking and cleaning inside the home.  So many countries, so many cultures, it goes without saying that women serve the men of the household.  For some reason – sexism – when its reversed… people assume we’ve gone insane”

My only minor disappointment is that this book wasn’t scheduled for release on March 8, International Women’s Day. If you’ve seen Deadpool, you may recognise that as an entrendre, as this book delivers a certain scene that Ms Reisz teased her fans with on Twitter before she left that particular social media.

Rating: 5 stars
Medium: eBook

Tiffany Reisz is unstoppable and keeping it hot with these series. The characters are imprinted in my mind, and obviously Tiffany is not letting me forget them ever, every new story awakening my excitement and delight. 
A young Kingsley is delicious to rediscover, his “adventures” unfailingly kinky, intense and so him. 
The Chateau as the story is intriguing, steamy, with interesting twists and book references. The Chateau as the place is a reverie, with dark corners and powerful women.
It was a lovely addition to the series, connecting the past with the present, the characters’ desires coming true, their story living on.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC

Once again we are transported to the Erotic and intriguing world of the Original Sinners by Tiffany Reisz . KINGSLEY! 
This takes place with a young and strapping 24 year old Kingsley and he's young yet he’s lived such a life. I find myself loving most is how we are filling in these little spaces in time from the ORIGINAL SINNERS series. Journeys that I don’t know how we ever lived without. THIS WAS FANTASTIC. We see deep into the the soul of Kingsley and how he sees himself. It’s peeking behind the great curtain where so much of his personality, his plot and ideas were created, How HE BECAME the MAN HE IS. When he started His “unofficial” op and his short yet life altering time spent with Madame and the others at the The Chateau nobody could expect what would happen when it ended. Secrets games and of course lies always play a part. No spoilers! If you haven’t read the Sinners you are being judged by me this is 9th in a series don't ruin it by reading it without knowing the characters! Absolute must read . Arc provided by NetGalley for review.

" The dream always begins the same"..Kingsly
Favorite quote " " ...she was sucking his cock like she'd been poisoned and this was the only way to get the antidote."
I absolutely love Tiffany and her writing style. She captivated me with her penning of the Red. This book the Chateau is part of a series but I read it as a stand alone. It began with a bang and the ending was soothing to me ( I am a sucker for happy endings). 

3 stars for this book ( maybe because it started with such angst and then i was let down a bit)

Get ready to explore the world of S&M and many other sexual fantasies and desires that you have never heard about ( maybe). It tells the story of King and his tumble into a sex cult ( is it really though?) He seemed to enjoy it way to much. But the story unfold with him Searching for Leon and let it be known when the identity of Leon is revealed it was a shocker! 
The story was succinct and was easy to follow through. I felt the climax to the story was a bit lacking and a bit sad as well. It could have been more explosive. Nonetheless, worthy story line for those who love this genre and this author. 
There was literally one grammatical error i found in this book.
There was mentioned of the Caribbean island of St. Croix and since i am an island girl i appreciated that. 
Why didn't Kingsley wear GPS when he first went to the Chateau? Maybe he didn't
 want to be tracked. 
I didn't understand what his dreams were about and I kind of got annoyed with his dreams until the very end.......Enter Father Soren and all the depravity he brings to the story ( suicide, beatings and extreme S & M)

Great book and awesome read.

I can't believe I read this in one sitting. I still find Kingsley a pompous ass at times, yet I am drawn to him all the same. He is a witty, but completely damaged man, that understands etiquette. It's hard to really explain Kingsley in a handful of adjectives.

While this can technically be a stand alone, I would recommend reading at least the first three books in the series before reading this one. It might be better to have a little background history to understand Kingsley's thoughts and feelings about his dreams and why he is they way he is. The story does tell you snip-its of his past, but it doesn't tell you the journey of it, so new readers may not appreciate it fully. I would have loved to know more about Madame. If Tiffany Reisz writes that book, I will be first in line!

P.S. I didn't miss Nora (the main character of this series) a bit.

*ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for honest review (less)

Everyone who has read an Original Sinners book knows how a 20 something Kingsley is going to act in a chateau filled with beautiful, kinky, dominant women.  And of course, he does not disappoint.  But in addition, we also get an hard emotional flogging along with our good time. A night with Soren could not cause so much pain. There is so much insight into the young man Kingsley was and who he would become.  Such wonderful, colorful, sadistic characters pass through his life.  I had to read this twice before I could wrap my head around all the pieces of young Kingsley.  This is a difficult book to review without a spoiler.  There are so many ahhhh moments. More now than ever, I kneel at the feet of Kingsley Edge but I kiss the feet of the Queen of Kink, Tiffany Reisz. Long live the Queen!

So excited reading about Kingsley! I absolutely loved this one.
