THE PRIEST (ORIGINAL SINNERS #9)

Tiffany Reisz's USA Today bestselling Original Sinners series returns with the long-awaited sequel to The Queen.

When a New Orleans parish priest is found dead of an apparent suicide, the police see no reason to investigate. Private detective Cyrus Tremont knows a cover-up when he sees it, however. A former cop, he's seen it all...or so he thought.

Clues point him in the direction of Nora Sutherlin, an erotic romance writer who moonlights as a dominatrix. Together, they form an unlikely bond built on their shared need for justice.

As Cyrus is drawn deeper into Nora's underground world of pleasure and pain, what lines will he cross to discover the truth about the priest? And what will he and Nora do with the truth once they find it?

The Priest is the beginning of a new era for Reisz's Original Sinners series, and the perfect jumping-on point for new readers.

Liza's Review:

The Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz is one of my favorite series ever. I fell in love with this cast of characters and love each new installment in the series. I learned long ago to never take anything at face value in the series, and have to say that once again Ms. Reisz kept me guessing with The Priest.

I loved getting to spend time with Nora, Kingsley, Søren, Juliette, and Celeste of course and I love these characters so very much and catching up with each of them since the move to New Orleans. However much of the story takes place with Nora and a PI who is hired to figure out why a Catholic priest had called Nora right before he committed suicide. Cyrus is the PI who steps in with Nora's help to figure out exactly what happened. We learn a good bit about Cyrus and his fiancée Paulina as Nora and Cyrus work together. I really enjoyed the mystery portion of the story and also enjoyed having new people in the Original Sinners world. While I couldn't see Cyrus and Paulina joining the world full-time, it was fun to see Nora make friends with a man she didn't actually sleep with. 

As the mystery of the priest unfolded, Ms. Reisz took her readers on a roller coaster ride. Nora had some big decisions to make and I honestly got answers to so many questions I had about Nora and 

Søren and how they got together. ​Honestly it only made me love this story more to get those answers. I did feel left in limbo with Søren’s future with the Jesuits, and can't wait to find out his decision. 

The Priest was a wonderful addition to the Original Sinners series. It gave us a different look at all of these characters and I can't wait to read the next installment in this series.

Liza's Review:

Tiffany Reisz is absolutely one of my favorite authors ever! I know when I pick up one of her books; I’ll be pulled in from the very first page and will not want to stop reading until I’m finished. Winter Tales was everything I wanted and more. While I love her stand alone books, I first found her because of her Original Sinners series, and they remain my favorites always.

December Wine 

I loved getting to see Nora meet Nico for the first time. I also adored her time with Zach. I laugh so much when Nora and Zach are together. I’m not really sure why, but I just love when the two of them are together. I think part of it is the banter and the fact they each, even while together, absolutely love their significant other. They can talk about pretty much everything because they are friends.

I felt the connection between Nico and Nora immediately. For a child not raised by Kingsley, Nico had so much of King in him. I loved that Nora listened to him as he dealt with his feelings and didn’t force his choices. It really helped me to understand how and why Nora needed Nico in her life. Seriously this story had me wanting more from the very first page.

The other four stories in the anthology had each been previously released in ebook and it was much fun to revisit each story. Again these stories are like book crack to me and I loved every minute of these stories.

I anxiously await each new release from Tiffany Reisz and know I’m in for the ride of my life each time. The Original Sinners books are my favorites and I loved getting to spend time with so many of my favorite characters. I highly recommend the entire series of books!

Liza's review:

The Original Sinners series is one of my favorite series of books ever. No matter which book I'm reading, Tiffany Reisz manages to pull me in from the very first page. Picture Perfect Cowboy was a picture perfect addition to the Original Sinners series.

Jason Waters comes from a super conservative family and truly believes his sexual fantasies means there is something wrong with him. Until he meets Simone. Let me just say I really loved that Simone seemed to understand who Jason was pretty much from the moment they met and I loved she was totally willing to help him learn the lifestyle. Simone has been trained under the absolute Masters with Søren, Kingsley, and Nora, and there is just a sweetness and a strength about her that makes you fall a little bit in love with her on the page.

Jason and Simone totally worked for me as a couple. While Jason wants to be the master in the bedroom, there is still a playfulness about him both in and out of the bedroom. He is also such a sensitive and caring person, and always concerned about never going too far as to actually hurt Simone. I loved seeing Simone help Jason discover his true self and watch them fall in love along the way. This story had smoking hot moments followed by some of the sweetest and most touching moments. I loved watching both Jason and Simone grown into their relationship.

Picture Perfect Cowboy was a wonderful story. Fans of the Original Sinners books will love the time we get with Søren and Nora along the way as well. Picture Perfect Cowboy was a fast-paced romance that drew me in from the very beginning. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys erotic contemporary romances.

THE CONFESSIONS: AN ORIGINAL SINNERS COLLECTION

Three Sinners. Three confessions. And all the dirty little secrets you could possibly desire... 

Father Stuart Ballard has been Marcus Stearns’ confessor since the young Jesuit was only eighteen years old. He thought he’d heard every sin the boy had to confess until Marcus uttered those three fateful words: “I met Eleanor.”

So begins the 40-page “The Confession of Marcus Stearns,” a moving coda to the RITA® Award-winning Original Sinners series. Originally published as a limited-edition paperback for the 2014 RT Booklovers' Convention, and available worldwide for the first time.

This collection also includes “The Confession of Eleanor Schreiber,” a companion 36-page story written exclusively for The Confessions.

And, finally, all secrets are revealed in “The Confession of Tiffany Reisz,” an exclusive, in-depth interview.

Liza’s Review:

The Confessions is seriously a gift for those fans of the Original Sinners series. In my opinion, The Confessions is not a book for anyone who hasn't read all 8 books in the Original Sinners series, as readers unfamiliar with the series won't understand everything that is being discussed.

I absolutely adored "The Confession of Marcus Stearns", The Confession of Eleanor Schreiber", and "The Confession of Tiffany Reisz." I wasn't lucky enough to be at RT in 2014, but was lucky enough to have a friend who was there and let me read her copy of "The Confession of Marcus Stearns" after swearing in blood I'd give it back. I had all the same feels reading it for the second time. Without giving any spoilers away, I can say fans of the series will love reading all 3 confessions and if anything like me, will only fall in love with the characters more than before. In fact my girl-crush on Eleanor/Nora is stronger than it was before and these short stories only made me miss my favorite character even more. I also now have a special place in my heart for Father Stuart Ballard, as he is the man to listen to both Søren and Eleanor's confessions. I really wanted to give him a hug several times during their confessions.

Fans of the Original Sinners series will be so excited to read The Confessions. There is insight into the characters and how the series came to be.  I have to say after reading certain parts of the interview/confession with Tiffany, I found validation in how I saw some scenes in my head as I was reading certain passages in the series, especially one with Grace and Søren. I feel like I'm repeating myself here, but The Confessions is not a story to pick up without reading the other books in the series first unless the reader wants to feel pretty lost in what is discussed in the confessions.

The King Release Day Blast

Title: The King

Author: Tiffany Reisz

Date of Publication: November 25, 2014

Summary:

Cunning. Sex. Pure nerve. Only this potent threesome can raise him to his rightful place as ruler of Manhattan's kink kingdom. 

Bouncing from bed to bed on the Upper East Side—handsomely paid in both bills and blackmail fodder—Kingsley Edge is brilliant, beautiful and utterly debauched. No carnal act or chemical compound can relieve his self-destructive apathy—only Søren, the one person he loves without limit or regret. A man he can never have, but in whose hands Kingsley is reborn to attain even greater heights of sin. He plans to open the ultimate BDSM club­: a dungeon playground for New York's A-list that'll change the scene forever.

The club becomes Kingsley's obsession—and he's enlisted some tough-as-nails help. His new assistant Sam is smart, secretive and totally immune to seduction (by men, at least). She and Kingsley make a wicked team. Still, their combined—and considerable—expertise in domination can't subdue the man who would kill their dream. The enigmatic Reverend Fuller won't rest until King's dream is destroyed. It's one man's sacred mission against another's….

Q/A with Tiffany

-Do you have a favorite book or author you like to recommend? Do you have a comfort read?

I have a set of books I regularly recommend to people. Want to read amazing literature? Read my favorite novel of all time All the King’s Men by Kentucky author Robert Penn Warren. Want to read the most moving love story I’ve ever read? Read The Vintner’s Luck by Elizabeth Knox. My comfort reads are Sherlock Holmes short stories and Agatha Christie’s Poirot novels.

-What is your guilty pleasure?

I’d need to feel guilt to have a guilty pleasure. Buying office supplies I don’t need is probably the closest I get to a guilty pleasure. I buy them and think about all the people out there who don’t have awesome office supplies like I do and I feel bad for them.

-Favorite Meal?

Coffee and an ice cream sandwich is my version of a “Power Lunch.” The combination of tastes is glorious.

-If you weren’t a writer, what would you be?

My non-writer dream job is train engineer (what? I like trains). My realistic non-writer job would be working in a bookstore. That’s what I was doing when I started my writing career.

Excerpt 1:

“How much trouble am I in for getting out of the car without permission?” Kingsley asked.

“None,” Søren said, and Kingsley was wildly disappointed. “Let’s go. We can make it back to school by tonight.”

Kingsley followed him back to the car. The driver opened the door for them. When they were alone again, Kingsley said, “Or…”

“Or what?” Søren demanded.

“Or we could find a hotel and fuck in a real bed for once.”

“We’re not on a date. And here I was wondering where the real Kingsley had gone.”

“What do you mean?” he asked as the driver opened the car door for them. He slipped inside and Søren followed. They were on the road again before Søren answered.

“When you were with Claire—I wasn’t sure you were the same Kingsley I know and barely tolerate.”

“Why? Because I like kids?”

“You were good with her.”

“Kids are fun,” he said. What else was there to say?

“I never considered you would like children.”

“Well…I do. So what?”

“Nothing,” Søren said, laughing to himself. “Nothing at all.”

“I know you see me as some kind of pervert,” Kingsley said. “But believe or not, I am a human being. Yes, I like kids. I might want kids someday. I don’t have much of a family anymore. If I want a family I’ll have to make my own. Sometimes I have thoughts that don’t have anything to do with sex. I’m not just your toy, you know. I have feelings and—”

His impassioned “I have feelings” speech ended abruptly when Søren grabbed him hard by the back of the hair and brought his mouth down in a brutal kiss. Kingsley almost pulled away so he could finish his tirade before realizing he wanted the kiss so much more than the fight.

Kingsley returned the kiss with equal and greater passion. Søren yanked Kingsley’s jacket off him and threw it on the floorboard. Kingsley pulled his own shirt off and rolled on to his back on the bench seat. He’d remember the sensation of leather on his bare back all his life.

“Have you ever had sex in the back of a Rolls Royce?” Kingsley asked, trying not to rip Søren’s shirt in his rush to unbutton it. He needed Søren’s skin on his skin right now.

“No,” Søren said. “But ask me that question again in an hour.”

Before Kingsley could respond to that, Søren grabbed his wrists, pinned them over Kingsley’s head and kissed him again—deeper, slower, but no less punitive. Kingsley groaned, and Søren slapped a hand over his mouth.

“Quiet,” Søren said into Kingsley’s ear. “We aren’t alone, and I’ll gag you until you choke if I have to. Understand?”

Kingsley nodded against Søren’s hand. A curtain and partition separated them from the driver. He couldn’t see them, but if they were loud enough, he could hear them. He’d disobeyed Søren’s orders to stay in the car, he’d yelled at him and talked back. He was going to get it this time.

Good.

Søren kissed him again. Kingsley kept his sounds of pleasure to a minimum even when Søren reached between their bodies, unzipped Kingsley’s pants, and stroked him hard. Every muscle in Kingsley’s stomach tightened. He sucked in his breath sharply from the shock of pleasure. It took every bit of self-control not to moan audibly.

“You like this?” Søren asked.

“God, yes, so much,” Kingsley said, lifting his hips against Søren’s hand. He spoke in French and English. He was about to lose control of more than his language skills if Søren didn’t stop touching him like that.

“I think you like it too much.” Søren rose up on his knees and looked down at Kingsley.

“I don’t. I really don’t. I like it exactly as much as you want me to.”

“You’re pathetic when you’re turned on.”

“I am so pathetic right now.”
