THE CHATEAU (An Erotic Thriller – The Original Sinners) by TIFFANY REISZ

‘I love you. I still love you. I hate you. I still hate you. I want you. I’ll always want you. I only left you so you’d come and find me. Come and find me. Find me and come.’

Another brilliant instalment in the world of Tiffany Reisz’s Original Sinners series. We travel back to when Kingsley is a mere twenty four year old Lieutenant in France. He is a rogue under orders. A man running from the one who owns his heart, sent on an undercover investigation and retrieval mission. Where better to try and disappear yet find yourself than inside the house of a sex cult who celebrate the Story of O?! With Søren very much playing on the mind and in the heart of our beloved Frenchman we learn of a time when introspection and soul searching takes the lead through the manipulations of the illustrious Madame.

‘Use me. Hurt me. Destroy me because you’re the one who created me. Kill me because you’re my only reason for living. Find me because I’m lost without you.’

The elusive Madame drew out the vulnerable side of our cocky lovable Frenchman who has a penchant for sarcastic humour and erotic thrills. I really felt the breath of Søren on the back of my neck as I was reading. His presence felt in the shadows of every word written. The invader of dreams and fantasies. Kingsley goes on a journey -which clearly- as we now know left a permanent imprint on his life thereafter. Thrilling, kinky, erotic and emotional. A story of a strong women and a man who’s somewhat lost.

“He broke me. In so many ways, he broke me. He broke me until I was happy I was so broken. The more pieces of me there were, the more pieces of me there were for him to break into even smaller pieces. By the time he was done with me I was nothing but shards. If I’d spent another day with him, I would have been the dust on the bottom of his shoe.”

I swear I say this every time I review, but this series, these characters- they truly are my heart. I immerse myself so fully I convince myself I’m part of the story. An active character in the shape of a voyeur and eager participant. I can’t get enough, I will never have enough. I will inhale every single instalment Tiffany Reisz releases. Every book a brilliantly written piece of a wonderful and epic puzzle which has me falling in love all over again.

“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.”
