Thanks Netgalley for a ARC to read and give my honest opinion.

I am absolutely mesmerized by this author's writing, it doesn't matter what kind of kink her books contain, I will read it and enjoy. Kingsley is 24 in this novel, and he is sent in to a "cult" to rescue the nephew of his Colonel's. The story has some references to the Story of "O" and the Looking Glass which I thought was unique and entertaining. Kingsley has reached a point in his life where he can neither go forward or back and the story is about encouraging him to move on. I laughed...I cried... it was just an emotionally wonderful book. I am so hooked on this beautiful series.

Fav quotes:

“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.”

Omg.....just beautiful..I absolutely teared up.

“Not all problems are meant to be solved,” she said. “Some are meant to be endured. All too often we learn more from living with the question than we ever would from the answer.”

Just wonderful quotes... so true

I'd give this book ten stars if I could, just an amazing and beautiful book.

I don’t know what I expected when I started reading this book, but it definitely wasn’t that. This was my first read of the series and while I wasn’t lost trying to follow along, I expected more from the assassin plot line.

It was an easy read and well-written. I enjoyed the descriptive details about everything - it really helped to transport me into their world. Overall, this really wasn’t the book for me, unfortunately.

****4.5 stars****

Kingsley is a very enigmatic character; one can easily be enamoured with his resilience and constancy. His threshold for pain and perseverance seems limitless once he puts his mind to something; notably the one thing, or person, he really craves for.

Although there are other characters in this story, they all pale in comparison to Kingsley. Disclaimer- I am new to the series, so this book is my introduction to the mystery of this man.

The Chateau is a worthwhile read; it doesn’t shy away from the difficult questions. I am definitely intrigued enough to want to read the rest of the series.

5 Stars

The impossible happened while reading The Chateau; I fell deeper in love with outrageously witty Kingsley Boissonneault. This time, a younger version of the kinky, cunning and overly sexy character I've come to adore. Just when I thought I knew everything about this charmer, Tiffany Reisz proved me wrong by adding another dimension to his multi-faceted persona. We finally see a hint of the gentler side to this ruthless, perpetually whorish man. I'm addicted to all the Original Sinners, always greedy for more when it comes to this series, and having a glimpse into King's time while in La Légion was genius. Masterfully written with a plot filled with intrigue, twists, and turns, Reisz gifted fans of the OS a refreshing new perspective in this ninth installment.

Journeying through the period separated from his "monster," beloved Søren, we see a 24-year-old Kingsley as an officer for La Légion. His highly specialized skills for the French Agency are diverse, but his latest assignment is undoubtedly intriguing. The Colonel entrusts King to rescue his nephew, Leon, from the claws of The Madame ~ the mysterious and elusive head of a sex cult where men are (supposedly) subjugated to serve women in every way ~ hidden a chateau. His task is to infiltrate and bring Leon home, but Kingsley discovers there is more to this rescue mission. As it turns out, this sex club of sorts is the perfect place for the lewd lieutenant.

Throughout this read, there was one character who fascinated me more so than my dear Kingsley, and that was Madame. She, very much like Søren, was a sadist who consistently played mind games. She probed King for personal information, exposed his emotional pain like a raw nerve, and used that weakness against him. For Kingsley, the Madame helped put his life and relationship struggles in perspective.

Another fantastic novel crafted by the brilliant Ms. Reisz that I highly recommend. Tabboo reads are often out of my reading comfort zone. However, Reisz's unique and exquisite writing style captivates me every time. Her words effortlessly flow to spin magnificent and compelling tales.


I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the publication. Thank you NetGalley

This book is so good I am not going to give any spoilers but if you are a fan of Tiffany Reisz you are going love this story.

It is about a much younger Kinglsey. I have always like Kinglsey but My heart will always be with Soren, but you can't help but fall for Kingsley in this one the author has a way of doing that to you.
I loved reading what Kinglsey got up to while he was at the Chateau. I enjoyed all the characters. loved the writing. just everything about it so so good.

So, full disclosure, I have not read a single one of the million <i>The Original Sinners</i> novellas, full lengths, freebies, etc. So why did I request this, you ask? Because NG didn't indicate this had anything to do with a series when I clicked on it. Shame on me for not doing my GR sleuthing, I guess. Shame on them for not indicating the series connection. But.. it all worked out? Everyone wins?

"<i>What's America like? Tell me that, at least.</i>"
"<b>Barbaric. They eat butter on their croissants.</b>"

For an erotica, this was kind of.. fluffy. Jaunty? I don't know how to describe Reisz writing. She's handling serious emotional subject matter and yet I'm laughing all the way through this because Kingley was kind of a ridiculous creature.

"<i>But.. you will fuck anyone.</i>"
"<b>I won't. I'll fuck <i>almost</i> anyone. There's a difference.</b>"
"<i>Who wouldn't you fuck?</i>"
"<b>Nazis.</b>"

Because I have no idea how this ties in, I don't really know if this was some kind of big reveal about this character or if Kingsley is even a 'main' character. I know nothing! But I found this enjoyable, interesting, though not earth shattering. I was even tempted to round up to a four. It was a close call; mainly because of that little bit near the end that kinda made me go 'oho, aha, good one!'. I think if I were to ever read the books, to understand how this fits, I could see this rating going up. Will I ever? I don't know. Too much erotica is.. too much erotica. But maybe one day I'll get around to navigating this hefty series.

"<i>Christ, how many dildos do you have in this house?</i>"
"<b>Enough that were you to suddenly disappear, you would not be missed.</b>"

From a standalone perspective, this is definitely easy sexy funny reading, and I actually enjoyed the mindfucks maybe a tiny bit more than the uh.. well, you know. From a series perspective, this is probably a winner. Definitely not sorry I read it and, as a bonus, ten points to Slytherin for the Canadian representation and jokes.

Anytime Tiffany Reisz writes another installment in the Original Sinners Series, I am all in and with The Chateau it is a no brainer.

It's great going back in time, especially Kingsley at age 24, in France and in the Armed Forces when he is assigned to find the Colonel's nephew Leon, who may or may not be part of a sex cult. Oh man, reading how much Kingsley missed Soren, was so much. While in France he meets a woman by the name of Madame who, just like Soren is a sadist, oh good times for Kingsley.

You get Kingsley's funny one liners and you get a look back at the young French man, good times.

I adore anytime Ms. Reisz can bring back anyone from the OS because I just love each and everyone of them.

This is the adventure we all have been waiting for. We finally get a Original Sinners follow up, that is Kingsely in all his glory. I was expecting this to be a book about battles,killings, war and of course great sex.It all that and more. It is like the Original Sinners on steroids. It's twist and turns will take you on to the battlefield Tiffany does best love.

Now we get the Kingsley story. This Sinners novel is a complete standalone for Kingsley, about twenty years in the past as a young man exploring his bisexuality. An unofficial official mission sends him to The Chateau, where men serve women. It's erotic and explicit, and finally gives us answers as to who this monster is that helped Kingsley find himself. If you've read any of the Sinners books you know him and will completely "get" this book. In the past I've been turned off by Reisz's books, just too explicit for me, but I wanted to try again knowing this was different. I'm pleased that I was accepted to receive an early copy, I really enjoyed the path he took.

I was NOT expecting this book at all!! I really enjoyed this story and definitely recommend it if you want a story that is unlike any other. About halfway through, a thought popped into my head about this story and by then end, I realized that thought was correct! Loved it!

I didn’t want to put this book down. Tiffany Reisz has a way of making you feel like a part of the story, or at least like you’re in the story watching the events unfold. I’m pretty sure it could be read more than once and different nuances will be picked up that weren’t before.

If you’ve never read Tiffany Reisz, definitely let this be your starting point. I’m also going to be looking up the book referenced.

Tiffany Reisz once again dazzles Original Sinners fans with an erotic thriller of a novella for one of her most fascinating characters. Kingsley Edge has so much depth under so many layers we learn something new of him with each new Original Sinners publication. Reisz takes us back in time with this novella revealing more of King's sordid past while introducing new characters to the scene who helped shape the man we know and love. With her deliciously twisted Sinners tales Reisz delves into the unknown of characters we thought we already knew so intimately. The Chateau holds no exceptions to this as we witness a young Kingsley in the midst of a major life change where he's forced to face his greatest fear through a pleasureful journey of pain and acceptance. It was a satisfying way to find out how King became The King in this story of self discovery. Another Original Sinners winning story, I only wish there were more from that past transitioning to after that, maybe for another time. Reisz's writing is as exciting as it cathartic. She's a brilliant story teller whose abundant love for her characters shines with every turn of the page.

I just can’t get enough of this series! Fans of Kingsley Edge will devour The Chateau & I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them retreads this as soon as it’s done. It’s fun, kinky, sexy, and definitely thrilling in more ways than one. Kingsley not only charmed my panties off with his clever quips and daring personality, I especially love the scenes concerning children. Can he get any sexier?!

I love it when TReisz writes these origin stories, it fleshes out the characters more and of course, reading any Original Sinners story is ALWAYS a treat. It’s also unbelievably delectable how utterly gorgeous everyone in this world is! I mean even the mole, Georges, has its own appeal!

Anyway, my wish is TReisz writes another full length origin story this time starring Griffin. I bet that would be so much fun!

I loved this book especially learning about Kingsley when he was in his early 20s. This was a nice refresher for the original sinner series. A bit different direction then I thought this story was going to go. Fans won't be disappointed and I think I love Kingsley just a bit more.

Oh la la this Kingsley's book!
I loved Kingsley, even more young Kingsley!
I loved this book, all of it is a declaration of love for Soren and their relationship!
Sometimes it's heartbreaking, sometimes swoon but it is so Kingsley!
I loved Madame character, so mysterious and smart!
The third part is swoon ! (I am sure the answer is yes!)
Thank you Tiffany for this awesome sequel! It was hard to say goodbye to them! I am so glad we know more about this family. I really loved King, a funny, arrogant, swoon character and the Soren/King story is <3

Oh, seriously, Ms. Reisz...what have you done to me? I'm ruined. Seriously and utterly ruined. In all of the best possible ways. Of course. Clean cup, clean cup, move down, move down. This was an erotic suspense that reaquaints us with an old friend... a very dear friend from the Original Sinners series. Kingsley Edge. Also known as Lieutenant Kingsley Boissonneault of the French secret military installation, la Legion.

In this book, a much younger King, is on a mission... is the cost of this mission worth what King wants above all else?

Luckily enough I was given one of these ARC beauties to review prior to release, however, I am now wishing I could become a permanent resident of The Château.

Gah, this book was hot. I mean, not that there is ever a doubt with a Tiffany Reisz book, but, damn. My kindle was smoking.

There were a couple of proofy things but it was an ARC, I am sure it has been fixed since I received my copy. Thank you, to NetGalley for this hot, spicy bit of naughty to brighten up my weekend, 4.5 stars.

If you need more Kingsley you need to read this book. Tiffany doesn’t fail to deliver us a story full of erotic suspense.

Kingsley is my favorite character in The Original Sinners series. In The Chateau, we get to see a young Kingsley at a turning point in his life. I loved all of the mystery and intrigue. Another great one from Tiffany Reisz!

The Chateau is my first book I have read by Tiffany Reisz! I now need to run back and start this series. I was blown away when I met Kingsley in this story. The depths and the journey we are taken into the BDSM world will keep you wanting to explore more. The story behind The Chateau kept me wanting to turn the next page so I can get just... MORE!

The characters were lively. They knew what they wanted and the exploration of their world has you right there too. I seriously feel like I am missing with out reading the others book. But I caught on with this story that I was able to read it as a standalone. I am sure Tiffany Reisz's fans are loving hard that she brings in a beloved character from what I see. I recommend this book!!

Just when I think I can't love Kingsley more, Tiffany Reisz delivers another great story! I'm a huge fan of the Original Sinners series and I couldn't wait to read more about my favorite Frenchman! This book follows a 24 year old Kingsley while he's on assignment for a super secret French intelligence agency. He's supposed to infiltrate a chateau that is run by women, where men are their willing slaves. The nephew of the Colonel has gone missing behind this chateau and Kingsley is supposed to go in and retrieve information about the Chateau's leader, known only as Madame, and check on the nephew, Leon to make sure he hasn't been brainwashed. Kingsley, they believe, is the perfect cover. However, things get clouded when Kingsley immediately falls for the erotic and powerful women in the Chateau.
I'll stop there to avoid spoilers, but this is Kingsley Edge we're talking about, so you know that kinky fun hijinks are guaranteed! I adored the secondary characters of Bernie and Polly!!! Polly was absolutely hilarious and had a great chemistry with Kingsley - I wanted more scenes between the two! One of my absolute favorite scenes included Kingsley and Jacques, a baby boy living in The Chateau. That scene is guaranteed to make your ovaries explode! (Or at least mine did! Seriously swooning for Kingsley!)
If you are a fan of The Original Sinners - this is a must read! If you are new to the series, you could absolutely still read this book and be able to go back and read the other novels. There are flashbacks and scenes that are recalled, but they are explained by Kingsley in a way that you wouldn't have to have read any of the books prior to this one. I recommend you do because they are amazing! And who doesn't love more Original Sinners? All the stars for The Chateau!!!!

4.5 stars. A story about Kingsley at age 24? No matter what age, he doesn’t disappoint or fail to entertain. But I especially loved seeing him delve deeper into understanding his own self. Kingsley has always fascinated me. He has that adventurous side, coupled with total sexiness, charm, French accent and dry humor with a hidden vulnerable side that has some very dark desires. There's this secret chateau that Kingsley is assigned to work his way into in order to uncover some answers for his boss. And let me just say that the overall premise of this chateau's existence was intriguing and incredible. Kingsley comes face to face with the fulfillment of fantasies that could only be dreamed of and he is constantly thinking about a certain someone who is never far from his mind. The mental manipulation is mastery at its best and watching Kingsley unravel with making choices is a different form of the usual pain that he takes pleasure in. Any fan of Kingsley will love this book and realize that it's a must-read.
