Loved this book! It's a fantastic addition to this series, and I loved getting to learn more about Kingsley and the connection that formed between him and Søren

I haven’t read the Original Sinners series, but I have read many of Tiffany Reisz’s prequel novellas so I’m familiar with many of the characters, including Kingsley. I felt comfortable reading this book without having read the rest of the series since it truly is a “stand-alone” novel.

The Chateau tells of 24-year-old Kingsley when he was a spy for a secret French military intelligence agency. His next spy assignment sends him to a sex-cult at The Chateau where he meets the sadistic Madame. There are BDSM scenes as Kingsley willingly takes part in the sexual and sadistic activities that take place at the Chateau. It was a delight to read of a young Kinsley with his carefree attitude and his joie de vivre. However, underneath all his exuberance, Kingsley is devastated by his memories of Soren and how much he misses him.

The writing is exquisite and the story flows satisfyingly, with a bit of a surprise at the end. The flashbacks fit seamlessly into Kingsley’s present-day experiences at The Chateau. This novel has made me want to read all the previous books in this series. Highly recommended!

This novel is set in the original sinners universe and it stars Kingsley Edge as a 24 year old spy recovering from his last mission. He is asked to go undercover in a female dominated sex cult to recover his boss' nephew. I am a huge fan of Tiffany Reisz's original sinners series so I was so excited to see an early review copy through netgalley of The Chateau. We get to see Kingsley in the years he was apart from Soren and pining for their lost relationship. At times I actually cried because Reisz wrote about Kingsley's heartbreak so well that I felt his pain acutely. I also laughed out loud at some of Kingsley's dialogue. I love how adorably cocky and arrogant he is! I absolutely loved the novel. It was sexy and thrilling and was a great continuation of the series. Please buy the book when it becomes available on June 5th and support an amazing author.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you want something different in that it balances the erotica perfectly with suspense/thriller then this is for you. The writing pushes the reader along with the Lt. Kingsley to the edge sexually then brings you back with a well written story that had me side eyeing my Kindle when encountering certain twist. This is my first read in this series and now I have to go back and read them all.

LOVED young Kingsley 😍 He has obviously always been a daredevil with a heart of gold. The metamorphosis of how he came to learn about his submissive side was a unique and so beautifully told journey. What I loved the most about THE CHATEAU was that the women in the story were "the strong gender" and the men doted on them like Queens. But they showed so much respect and admiration at the same time... How Tiffany Reisz manages to make me fall in love with characters so fast and hard will probably remain a life mystery to me. Her sophisticated writing makes even the biggest debauchery look like a classical Gala in the Ritz. I know, weird comparison but everyone who has read and loved Reisz will know what I'm talking about. And all these little twists and turns; I soaked up every word of THE CHATEAU because I would have been worried I'd have missed some important detail if I'd have even foregone one word. If you want to read a book that will keep you glued to the edge of the seat from the first page to the last, THE CHATEAU is definitely for you.

A great addition to everyone who loves the ORIGINAL SINNERS SERIES by TIFFANY REISZ and wants to know what made King King, the sub.

What can I say? I loved this book! It was perfect! Tiffany did it again. And I'm not into BDSM. But I really love this series!
I loved young Kingsley, now I knew him more, his feelings, his relationship with pain and with Søren.
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. Beacuse every time he hurt you, he was trying to tell you in the only way he could how much he loved you.
And now I can see how the idea of his kingdom came. Honestly Kingsley wasn't my favorite character in the series (I'm in TeamSoren 😉), I liked him, but now I became fond of him. 💓 He was funny, charming and so hot. I think I could fall in love with the 24 years old Kingsley.
Pretty words and handsome faces have been making the hearts and loins of girls come to life since the beginning of time.
I couldn't put this book down. The Chateau and Madame were both so mysterious, because of this the story was so interesting. There were BDSM scenes but these series, and these books are more then sex and sadomasochism. These stories have depth.
I loved the mind games in this book, and it was good to read about the past, about Kingsley's relationship with Søren. And the ending was perfect! I love the cover!

It takes a little while for this story to get going but the slow buildup is enticingly done. I enjoyed the various characters and did not guess the revelation at the end. Of course the action was hot as usual with this author.

Not enough Søren, but there's never enough Søren anywhere. Adored this one as much as the rest of the Original Sinners series - Tiffany Reisz is perfection.

I'll never get enough of Kingsley Edge. Ever. Seeing this young, playful side of Kinglsey was breathtaking. The Chateau gives us the kinky goodness we're used to getting from Tiffany Reisz. The witty, flirty banter between King and everyone he comes into contact with is magical and had me smiling all the way through. And Madame. I don't even know what to say about Madame except she's exquisite and awful and strong and cruel and everything a Madame should be. Brilliant!

Let me start by saying: I totally love Kingsley. Like most of the Original Sinner's characters, he has so many facets and this story shows them all: arrogant, funny, confident, vulnerable and still in love.

This time we get to join Kingsley during his time at the military intelligence agency and his newest assignment. And I loved every second of it. The 'Blond Monster' was ever-present, even though he wasn't technically in the story. I mean, a Kingsley without his Priest is simply unthinkable. I missed Nora though ;-)

I've said it many times already, but I love the way Tiffany Reisz writes. The little details, the flashbacks, the very, very awesome characters that fit together so well. It's all there and I can never get enough of it.

This is an absolute must for every fan of the Original Sinner series. I need more, pretty please!

As someone who is an avid Tiffany Reisz fan, I was very excited to read The Chateau and learn more about Kingsley’s back story.

From start to finish, this was an exceptional story. I was particularly pleased to learn more about the circumstances that shaped Kingsley.

I am one of many who probably received an email from 8th Circle Press requesting I read the ARC of The Chateau and review it. Did I quick run and do it? Nope. I don't like Kingsley. I know, I know, so many of you do, but I just don't. So what brought me here? Bad romance. No, not the song by Lady Ga Ga, bad romance novels. So many are boring or unoriginal, like the one I just read last weekend. So, I looked over the description of The Chateau and downloaded it. And.... Meh... I still don't like Kingsley. He dropped like a rock for me when he, a grown man, let Eleanor, a twenty something submissive in his care, go through one of the most difficult times in her life - alone. And the Chateau does nothing to change my mind. So, the good: Kinglsey "serving" women. In my mind he is very handsome, sexy, and willing. The bad: these characters (the "O.S." world of characters) all seem to lack emotional intimacy and the ability to show affection. So, the story, the writing...well done. The sex scenes? Yes, fun too. But to me it is just sex, which after a while is empty. Still, this is entertainment, right? And no one forced me to read the book. But, by going back to these characters over and over and over I am not sure what the author is trying to do, besides get $5.99 for an e-reader copy or $24.99 for an audible copy. I want something from the characters that I just don't think is possible for them: simple warmth, tenderness, endearment. At the very end of the book the author had a chance to give the reader and Kingsley a small serving of this very thing, but chose to keep Kingsley guessing and therefore us too.

When Lt. Kingsley was assigned to do "unofficial" job to investigate the disappearance of Leon, nephew of his commander, who believed he is being held against his will by a sex cult. Accepting the job is easy but getting inside the so-called sex cult, Kingsley must go through some test. Patiently Kingsley was able to get in. And after spending a time there and meeting the "Madame" of the house. He learned something more about himself than he bargained for. A decision must be made will Kingsley choose the right one?

The Chateau is another masterpiece by this author. Words cannot justify how good she writes every dialogue in this book. It's witty, sexy, and definitely hot. The plot, those unexpected twist towards the end just amazing how she can play mind games with her readers.

And characters that are unforgettable. Kingsley, I already like him from the previous book I read of The Original Sinners, but in this book, I FLOVE him. Madame is certainly worth meeting and I cannot wait to see if this author will write more about her. I will certainly be looking forward to that if she does. Secondary characters are also endearing like Polly, Collette, Bernie and that tick, Georges.

This is standalone, so if you haven't read a book by this author this is a must-read. Ms. Reisz works can be addicting so you have been warned. Highly recommended!

The Chateau (The Original Sinners, #9)
by Tiffany Reisz (Goodreads Author)

Let me start by saying Tiffany Reisz's Original Sinners series is my absolute favorite series so I was so excited when I got to read this advance copy via Net Gallery. The Siren popped up time after time as recommended lists and dominatrix, priest sadist, underworld so not my thing. Finally I was bored and decided to see what the buzz was. I strongly admit how wrong I was and I write this for others who may think similarly. Don't make my mistake. Give the series a try - it is unexpectedly funny, loving, an unorthodox family not to mention serious drama and mystery at times. The writing and the characters are the best which brings me to The Chateau and to my fav original sinners character Kingsley Boissonneault (later known as Kingsley Edge) after boarding school when he joined the French Foreign Legion. He is 24, Soren no longer in his life yet strongly in his heart as Kingsley misses him dearly. His haunting dreams are adding to his pain. An assignment brings him to a Chateau where the women of the cult rule and the men serve. It is compared to The Story of O, yet with the exception of one night where our switch King begs for what occurs, it is a painless, loving environment where the men are submissive and the woman are lovingly nurturing and dominant. Where the sadism comes in (and is Tiffany Reisz's specialty) are the mind games. Games in which I wont be surprised that may be revealed in later books. I am not taking the Madame's word like Kingsley did. It is not a cliff hanger but I just don't think we are done with this story yet. I think it could be read as a standalone but I would really recommend reading at the least the Siren, The King and the Saint to understand the characters. It will make The Chateau more rewarding if you do.

Tiffany Reisz weaves spells with her writing. It's unlike any of the other stories I read, and she casts magic by pulling me into her books. The Chateau is an Original Sinners book, and I have read one of them but it was a long time ago, so I treated this as a stand alone and it was no problem.

Kingsley is playful and flirty, lonely, haunted by his past. You can tell he wants a family someday and he is quite the charmer. His latest mission sends him to a place opposite of what you would usually expect, and though some things were revealed, I feel it kept it's secrets from us still. Along with the mysterious, beautiful, and fierce Madame of the house.

The dreams throughout the story were at least as interesting as the story itself. Full of symbolism and longing, desire, love, pain. I found this book to be a little dark, a little amusing, very sensual.

I was fascinated by this story. This was actually my first taste of the infamous world Tiffany Reisz has created and while I'm sure I'm not fully able to appreciate Kingsley's story having not read the other books in this series first, I was still completely riveted by his experience in The Chateau. Thankfully The Chateau reads like a standalone, a prequel, a decadent, sensual taste of this world of submission and sex and it has absolutely ensured I'll be reading the other books that I've heard so much about. I'm completely intrigued by ALL of these characters and I'm looking forward to diving in to the rest of the books.

With every OS book I fall more and more in love with Kingsley, when admittedly he was my least favorite character in the red years series. I can now easily say that I love him more than Soren! This book was a fantastic look back into his sorted past to see what helped shape him into the arrogant, twisted and powerful King we all know. Adventure, mystery and erotic fantasy with the sarcastic humor and wit that Tiffany weaves so well, the Chateau is a seamless addition to my favorite series of all time.

I've heard about Reisz's books for years and finally decided to give her a try with this Original Sinners stand-alone. While I'll admit she's a good writer, the story just wasn't for me. I have a feeling her fans will love it though.

The Chateau is Kingsley's untold story of a moment of time in the French Legion. He's recruited for a mission to extract the nephew of his captain from what he assumes is a cult. But in reality turns out to be a dream come true for Kingsley.

He enters a world where women are in control and men are subservient. He hadn't realized how much he missed his sadist until he met Madam. She answered a lot of his questions that felt unresolved regarding Soren and made him feel more confident with his own decisions.

Sure there was erotica but this book was so much deeper than I had anticipated and I loved it.

Tiffany Reisz's writing is both lyrical and descriptive, which is a wonderful combination for an erotic tale. Her books sweep you into the story and hold you there, mesmerized as the story plays out, and the Chateau was no exception. Loved it.
