MICHAEL’S WINGS (The Original Sinners #6.3) by TIFFANY REISZ

“Tell me why you’re afraid of saying yes to something you and I both know you want.”

Michael’s Wings was just wonderful; spending time with Griffin and Michael with a novella that explored what happened after Griffin popped the big question; followed by a series of previously released short stories set at various points throughout the Sinners series. This was just the perfect trip down memory lane with time spent reminiscing and catching up with everyone though the main focus obviously being on Griffin and Michael’s relationship – the good, the bad and the sexy.

“He thinks I’m perfect, and I’m not.”

The Sinners series should be read in order therefore this collection of stories cannot be read as standalone. Rather its feels almost like a gift to those of us who adore Tiffany Reisz, her masterful writing and her unique and highly lovable characters, I miss them tremendously!

Griffin and Michael’s story had me crying, laughing, smiling as well as getting a bit hot under the collar! Shame really that I got hot under my collar and not Søren’s, sigh….our Priest makes appearances as does Nora and Kingsley which just made this even more perfect. From start to finish; Michael’s Wings was trademark Tiffany Reisz and I loved every minute of it.

 ‘A human being was a matrix of wants, needs, and desires and when the pain reached its peak, Michael wanted nothing, he needed nothing, he desired nothing and so he became nothing. It was the purest peace.’

I’ve always had such a soft spot for Michael, having cried many tears for him and I really felt that this novella showcased a young man growing more confident in his skin, assured of his choices and content in the knowledge of Griffin’s love for him. We are shown moments where heart-break, confusion, misunderstanding and uncertainty rears its ugly head as well as moments of pure unadulterated joy and intimate exhilaration.

“Why can’t we cut the cord?”
“Because the cord is made out of the same stuff our hearts are made of.”

The banter, the kink and the emotional elements were spot on; once again showcasing that Tiffany Reisz really is the –mistress- of the written word. I can honestly never have enough of her stories nor enough time spent with these characters. My heart feels incredibly full, yet is big enough for more.

“You on your knees in front of me with that look on your face. That’s my whole damn life.”
