The Chateau by Tiffany Reisz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
THE CHATEAU is book 9 in The Original Sinners series. If you’re a Tiffany Reisz fan, you’ll moan and groan at me when I say that this was my very first read from her. And I suppose, technically, it can be read as a standalone. I mean in my ignorance, I never realized that this one was part of a series and I was still able to read it pretty easily. Having said that, I think you’d get a hell of a lot more out of it if you began the series at the beginning!
Ok, let’s begin with the obvious…this is an erotic BDSM romance! It’s got a lot of sexy steam in it but it’s written in such a way as to be almost classy. Sounds weird, I know, but it definitely works. Author Tiffany Reisz had me absolutely enthralled with this strange world where women are the masters and men willingly serve them. It definitely gave me a lot of insight into BDSM and more specifically, sadism and masochism.
I loved Kingsley! Oh my goodness, this poor man had such a skewed view of love. He needed to come to terms with who his true self really was and accept that he required something that perhaps is taboo to most, which I suppose is a journey we all make at some point. He was snarky and funny, alpha hotness half the time and submissive the other half, an utterly complex character that had me rooting for him to find his HEA.
Then when I got almost to the very end, I realized that, NO, Kingsley might NOT get his happy ever after! WHAT?!? This isn’t supposed to happen in romance! It wasn’t until I read the epilogue that I finally understood Ms. Reisz’s direction for her character. See, if you’re like me (a clueless goof) and haven’t read anything from The Original Sinners series, here’s the key: this book is more like an “episode”, a chapter in Kingsley’s life. He DOES get his happy ending, just not in this book! What does this mean? It means that I unequivocally must go back to book 1! Told entirely from Kingsley’s POV.

All of Me by A.L. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ALL OF ME is book 2 in the Confessions of the Heart series. This story revolves around the brother from the hero in book 1 but can still stand on its own.
Ian Jacobs is a hot shot attorney on the fast track to making partner in his law firm. He’s clawed his way to the top by any means necessary, leaving behind a horrible past. Grace is a newly divorced, single mother. She’s about to enter the fight of her life and she desperately needs Ian’s help. But one look in his cinnamon colored eyes has Grace wondering if Ian can give her more than just a lawyer’s advice.
Here’s a confession of my own: I was up until about 2 a.m. reading this spectacularly written book and woke up with puffy eyes from sobbing my heart out! Sweet baby Thor, A.L. Jackson managed to tear my heart out with these two characters, just tore it right out of my chest until I was bleeding all over the floor! Now, here’s just a small spoiler: Grace has three children that she’s fighting for. If you’re a mother (or really anyone who has a heartbeat), you’ll understand the fierce need to protect your kids. And sometimes, the monsters under the bed are real. But Grace was so incredibly strong for her babies. I bow down to her ability to be a sweet, loving, caring, forgiving person even after enduring atrocities. And my poor Ian, the ultimate anti-hero! Gah! Do you ever wonder how one person can be so cruel to another? I’ll never understand that. Ian had to learn how to fight…fight for love, for a second chance, for forgiveness but he also needed to learn how to feel deserving of all if that. It was a hard, arduous journey for him and he’s easily become one of my favorite bad boys!
This one is angsty, tumultuous, it invoked a tidal wave of emotions for me and I’m so thrilled that Ian and Grace found their happy ever after! I can’t wait for book 3. Told from dual POVs. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

Hey y’all…Happy Thanksgiving! This post is dedicated to ALL of the wonderful, fabulous, fantastic, imaginative authors out there. I know that there’s probably THOUSANDS of hard working writers around the globe and there’s just no way to highlight every single one. But here’s a very small list of the authors that I constantly turn to for comfort, the authors that create books that are more like my best friends than characters in a fictional world. I’m constantly in awe of the talent that I discover every single day as a blogger and a reader! Thank you for providing me with an escape from my everyday life, for giving me a chance to live in another world, to meet new characters from all walks of life, for lifting me up and inspiring me, for making me cry and laugh and for so much more…
