Sigh sigh sigh!!!!

Tiffany Reisz knows how to grab my attention. Yes, there were stories I’ve read before, but there were 2 brand new stories for me that were absolutely incredible (just as all of her stories are).

All stories center around Søren or Kingsley or both, and all made me miss reading the Original Sinners series. And I might just drop everything and read them all over again.

I think what I enjoyed the most about Winter Tales is getting to know Søren and Magda’s relationship, their special bond. I think Magdalena is the only person Søren behaves that way with. And by that way I mean you’ll have to read to know. I won’t ruin it for you.

I can’t find it in me to write my thoughts on every one of the stories, so I’ll just leave you with this – READ IT! As soon as it comes out. If anything, it will tide you over until The Priest comes out.

Splendid 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Well… you may have noticed the word ‘sinners’ in the title – I didn’t! I saw the cover, I noticed the words Christmas and anthology and requested it! You can imagine the slight surprise I got on reading it!

After the initial shock though, I really did enjoy the read. It is steamy but there is also a great story to back it up, one which keeps you intrigued and interested throughout. The characters are all great and well written about.

Not quite what I expected but turned out to be a pleasant surprise and a very good read! Think 50 Shades but 100 times better!

5 Memorable and Fabulous Stars!!

I really loved and enjoyed The Winter Tales Anthology, which includes the following novellas: December Wine, The Christmas Truce, Poinsetta, The Scent of Winter, and Blood & Wine, some of which I have read before, and if you are familiar with author Tiffany Reisz's masterful execution of her storytelling, no matter if is the third or the hundredth time, she knows how to evoke reader emotions.

However, what I love must, are her clever emotional twists. When I think I know where the story is going < BAM >, she shakes my entire world. That's freaking rich, and I love her for that!!

All in all, this swoony, erotic, heart-pounding passionate Christmas anthology is guaranteed to make your toes curl, leave you breathless, weak in the knees, and will have you fanning yourself, and begging for more!!

Do yourself a favor, and grab your copy today!!

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!!

Not knowing this was part of a series, I was pretty lost. If you are into graphic sex, this is the book for you.

Steamy, fun, quick read. I haven't read the other books in this series but I absolutely want to now. The characters are so complex and you easily get sucked into their journey. Great set of short stories for the holiday season!

I wish I could give this book ten stars or more!! It was an amazing story like all of the others from her that I have read. It had a few tales of past Christmas as well as present. All of the stories intertwined with past stories from Reisz. One character does something that I can't talk about without spoiling the book but its worth the read, if you love Soren and Kingsley. It made my heart soar and I really hope to get more about them in the future. Seeing Griffin grow up as a character and the relationship between Nora and Zach was amazing.

I couldn't put it down every time someone tried to talk to me I told them to go away because I wanted to finish but I didn't want it to end.


Go Into This One Knowing: Collection of Stories, BDSM, Sodomy, Adultery

I've loved the original sinners book since the very first novel as Reisz has crafted a world that one no longer wants to be an onlooker. The characters, Nora, Kinglsley, and Soren are writen in such a way that you could picture in your mind's eye, the looks, the hidden smiles, and the secrets that they share.

Winter Tales is no exception, set around Soren's birthday, these short stories share insight (past, present, and future) into the relationships of the three friends and lovers. My only disappointment was that it ended too soon, like an old friend you only see once a year. I'll wait with anticipation of the next tale.

Didn't really know what to expect being as i had never read anything by Tiffany Reisz but the cover and the title caught me. This is a novella that includes various intertwining stories. And i have to say i dig them. And will definitely read more from Tiffany.

Note: Review and rating are for the brand new novella, December Wine only.

In this novella, Nora Sutherlin and Zach Easton went to France on a mission to inform Nicolas (Nico) Delacroix of his heritage. I enjoyed seeing their first encounter with the attractions just simmering on the surface. It’s nice to see Nico’s vulnerability and how it mirrored her own past.

It’s always delightful to go back to my favorite Original Sinners characters, and it’s an extra treat when the story involved side characters that I’ve always wanted to know more about.

Tiffany Reisz is a brilliant author, I can never sing her praises high enough. She became one of my favorite authors when I picked up The Siren to read. She blows my mind with her talent. Every book I have read of this series - The Red Years and The White Years, I tell myself I will re-read this series once completed. Reisz is kind enough to let us see more into the future with these wonderful characters and into the past. We now know these amazing characters, and how Reisz flows between the past and present is magical, as she unveils the story behind each of these characters and their time spent together, Winter Tales are a collection of some of Reisz's Christmas Stories offered to her fans/newsletter subscribers. Winter Tales also includes Winter Wine - the long awaited tale of how Nico was found, and became part of this makeshift family. Winter Tales helps answer some of the questions I have had for so long. Reisz also have many other novellas/stories surrounding the Original Sinners you can find to help full in the gaps. If you have not read the full series from The Siren, I highly encourage you to return and start at the beginning, you will not be disappointed. Winter Tales is perfectly timed to entice for the upcoming continuation of the Original Sinners with Reisz's new book The Priest, which continues to the story in New Orleans. I already have my copy on Pre-Order. Do you?

*tosses ALL of the glitter*

Okay, seriously, I'm well aware this is a collection of novellas and I've read a couple of them already...but sit down. Because <i>Winter Tales</i> also contains the novella that I've been waiting for--for years! Oh yes, there is a Santa Claus this year, and her name is Ms. Reisz.

Any of you that have read <i>The Siren</i> or any of my reviews for The Original Sinners series know that Zach and Nora are my favorites...I know, I love the rest of the crew; but Zach and Nora, they just have that something magical for me. Zach Easton is at the pinnacle of my favorite-est (new word of the day) book boyfriends list. Ever. In fact, I'm going to have to do a re-read of the whole shebang now, just because I love being so absorbed into this world.

Ms. Reisz's writing is just on another level. The truly unique characters, the top-notch world building, the way the plot loops back in and carries through a lengthy series like this one; it's no wonder that she's an autoread for me. Unequivocal, without a doubt, 5 star read. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in advance of release day in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley and the Publishers for this book.
I had never read a Tiffany Reisz book before and I was not so sure about this one but this was a pleasant surprise. I loved this book and couldn't put it down. It was a nice twist to a christmas eve plot! Loved it.

Winter Tales is a collection of short stories with a brilliantly developed character line, all lovingly intertwined with one another, and it really sets the scene for the whole book. This incredibly author has done it again with the kinky characters and storyline. A must read!

Quick, fun, hot reads! I loved getting to know different pieces of the characters over the various stories. Each story felt different and quite spicy!

Winter Tales was a chance to revisit the worlds of Nora, Kingsley and Soren and discover their backstories. I especially loved Nora's first meeting with Nico in December Wine and Soren's interactions with Magda. Tiffany Reisz always manages to enthrall me with her deeply complex characters and storylines. Her Winter Tales are no exception!

Nora is my favorite heroine of all time. When I saw there was a book of Sinner's shorts that focused on the winter time, I couldn't pass up reading it. As always, Reisz is a master story-teller and writes the sexiest scenes ever. I highly recommend this one!

This was an entertaining read, but I had hardly a clue of what was going on as I've not read any other books in this series. But I expected some smut and I for sure got plenty of that 🙂

I didn’t realize that this was an anthology of stories from a previously published work, so it was a little bit challenging to understand what was going on at first. But even so, it was still an entertaining read!

Best Christmas gift ever!! (yes, to myself, but whatever.) There is nothing like knowing you will love a book before you even open the pages. All Tiffany said was that it was about Nico...and I was mesmerized. The opening story about Nora meeting him for the first time was so moving...I just wanted to jump into the pages and have a group hug with all of them. And after finishing the story, I was hungry for more. I hope and pray that Tiffany has the next in store for us. I've already gifted this book to a friend for Christmas and know she will love it as much as I do. Just the journey of reading Tiffany's wordcraft gives me great pleasure...the complex feels in the story are just icing on the cake. She's also included "The Christmas Truce, "Poinsettia" and "The Scent of Winter". I've read them previously but adored the timely reread on each of them. She closes with a new short story "Blood & Snow", which I suspect sets us up perfectly for the upcoming 2020 release of "The Priest". Which I already love without even seeing. Yes. I admit my addiction. And I don't want to quit. Ever.
It's hard for me to guess if someone would enjoy these without the richness of their backstories. I treasure each of Tiffany's sinners and hope she never tires of sharing them with us.

I enjoyed this book quite throughly. Reisz gives you multiple stories with beautifully constructed plot lines that pull you in, keep you interested and make you fall in love! I loved all of her characters and her ability to make you want their love stories to end happily is absolutely amazing. There wasn't one section I didn't enjoy.
