Michael's Wings... *sighs* I wish I had had the self control to read this selection of short novellas much slower. But that was simply impossible. The stories were all irresistible, and it made me so happy to be in the Original Sinners universe once more!
Reisz, as always, is so skilled with her words I am transported alongside her characters, and that is the sign of greatness when it comes to writing in my opinion.
I adore and love Tiffany Reisz! I've been a fan of hers since 2012 and when I read The Angel, I could not get enough of Mick and Griff. I love me some m/m add some kink, and I'm like a dog with a bone.
I cannot pick which short story I loved because I loved them all! I just want to sit by Ms. Reisz's feet and watch her writing magic happen. I'm an Original Sinners fan for life and whenever she graces her readers with a new short story, I'm the first one waiting with baited breath to get my grabby hands. Mick and Griff will always be special to me. Their love story is so beautiful and empowering. I cannot wait to re-read this book one more time with my co-bloggers so we can write an epic review on our blog page. Thank you Ms. Reisz for bringing Mick and Griff back to us.

Oh, how much I love the Original Sinners Series!!! Everything about those books is amazing. The characters, the plot twists, the sex, the emotions it provokes in you, the sex, the kinky side that liberates yourself to question if there is more you want from life yourself, the sex. And then there is the love. Tiffany Reisz makes me fall in love with her stories each and every time, and all that with her writing about how her characters fall in love. Be it with another person, their soul-mate, a child they didn’t know they missed their whole lives or God. Yes, I’m not religious and I was a bit overwhelmed at times from all the Bible-references while reading the novels. But I fell in love with the way Soren loves his connection to God. So yeah, Tiffany makes me see things in the world and myself that I never recognized before. It was shocking at the beginning but once I accepted that really good books can actually do that to you, I was all on board. And even thankful for it. No matter if novella – like in this case with “Michael’s Wings” or all the other Sinners-novellas – or full length novels in this series, I love them all. Each and every word of it.
In this special case, the novella features two of my favorite characters from the books: Michael and Griffin. But a big dose of Nora, too. Reisz’ trademark sass, humor but most of all heart has shown itself in those few pages yet again. Bravo!
There are a few other novellas featured in this anthology most Original Sinners fans should have read them until now on Tiffany Reisz’ homepage or with the Radish-app. But even if so, it’s definitely worth buying this awesome collection of short-stories. I enjoyed reading the novellas again on my kindle immensely.
How can I rate this something other than 5 stars? I can’t, simple as that. So, 5 solid Sinners-novellas-stars from me and a definite recommendation. In fact, I can recommend all books by Tiffany Reisz. *Insert all the heart-emojis here*
I can't get enough of the characters in Tiffany Reisz's Original Sinners series. This series is intelligent, emotional and full of heart. Loved this one!
I freaking LOVE Mick and Griff. (In fact, I've "renamed" my current foster pup Griff b/c he's mischievous lol!) But seriously, TIffany's writing is amazing and I always want more of my Sinners.
With the exception of one novella, Michael's Wings is a collection of short stories previously found on the author's website. If you're a fan of the Original Sinners series (an eight-book collection), you will love Michael's Wings. If you're unfamiliar with this series and its characters, you may feel a bit lost. This is definitely a collection for fans.
Of the seven novellas included, "Christmas in Suite 37A" is my favorite. It's got a little bit of everything in it—sweetness, despair, longing, kink, and—bonus—a homily from Soren himself. What's not to love about that?
Would I recommend this collection to a friend? Absolutely. But first I'd tell them to read the Original Sinners books. To really enjoy the richness of these stories, you need the background information that the full-length novels contain.
Have you ever loved a love??? Michael and Griffen's love story is an all time favourite of mine. Their love is fresh, romantic, sexy as hell, and heart warming. Oh lets not forget funny the banter between these two is priceless.
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this story. I love learning more about them. The background, their private moments. Tiffany gives us all and then some in this.
I had read all the novellas previously but it was so great to go back and re read. I laughed again and even cried. Griffen just shocks me sometimes in a great way.
I love that we get an update on Søren and Nora. Wish Kingsley had been away but he had a great excuse.
I will never get enough of these characters. I look forward to learning and hearing more from them. The Original Sinners will forever be my favourite series.
Loved it Tiffany!!!
The books comes with spoiler warnings and so it should - Michael's Wings takes place before the final novel in the main series, therefore having the potential to spoil a LOT if one hasn't devoured all the 8 books before picking up this collection.
I was so happy to read a new story in the Original Sinners series, and I'm happy to say it didn't disappoint. Michael's Wings was exactly what I expected and hoped for - the shy but maturing Michael and his possessive a loopy Griffin, their shared insecurities and love. It was great to see another glimpse into their private life and to read about how Griffin popped the question, and how Michael reacted and responded. The additional short stories included in the collection are ones I've already read before, but they compliment Michael's Wings to produce a more comprehensive collection if one just wants to dip into Michael and Griffin's life and read about them. They are a truly remarkable couple and all the stories display their growing personalities and love perfectly. Although I have to say, the collection may have benefited from the stories maybe being in chronological order, and there were quite a few typos that may be corrected before the book goes on sale in November.
All in all a great collection, where old favourites from the Original Sinners are revisited, and offers a bit of respite in the desolate world that is the post-OS reader's reality.
Michael's Wings, An Original Sinners Collection, Tiffany Reisz
Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews
Genre: LGBTQIA, Romance
Well, if you love the Original Sinners series you'll want to read this. I don't usually read shorts/novellas unless like this they are about characters I already know, so can understand and follow easily something that doesn't need space to tell me who everyone is and all about them.
The new novella covers 30% of the total, the rest being previously published shorts. I'd read all them before, but love this world and characters even though I find the concept of loving multiple people difficult to understand. then I guess we love all our children so in a way why should multiple lovers be an issue? something to ponder I guess....
Of course Michael needs time to answer That Question - griffin knows this and yet its hard (!!) waiting, an anxious time for him. Nora help Michael sift through his fears, he loves Griffin, they all know that but he's has such insecurity about himself, and such a difficult past he needs to deal with this, work through it and a beating or three from Nora concentrates his mind!
A fun read, usual TR sensuality and spice, a bit of sass, a lot of sex and sensuality and a side of submission helps Michael understand himself.
Stars: 5, great value if you haven't read the rest of the stories, but still good to have them in one collection at a decent price.

3.5 stars
Lovers of Tiffany Reisz's, Original Sinners series, are bound to enjoy this collection, as did I.
I wanted to give this 4 stars but knocked half a star off due to be distracted by annoying errors. Mixing up a characters pronoun, very early on, being the first of many.
I understand this is an ARC, but even in an ARC it is rare that I come across 70+ glaring errors. I hope the final product gets a lick of polish before people have to pay to read this.
Oh Angel , these short stories you want to savor take your time, but no I couldn't I devoured them . Pure joy and ecstasy in the pages. Michael and Griffin and these compiled scenarios take place through The Original Sinner Series ( if you haven't read I'm judging you and don't read this! Again JUDGING YOU! Lol ) You're told when they happen there is no real order. You don't need it. You fall right back in love and lust with the beauty of our lovers. We have little scenes with some favorites that make cameos. As always the writing I'm laughing I'm emotional and I'm in love ,So deeply in love with our Boys.

I absolutely loved reading about Griffin and Michael. This is a collection of short stories but they are HOT and you get to read some of your old favourite characters. So good I laughed I felt sad I have to say the sex was great between Griffin and Michael but I do love the story more and the banter between them all just makes you laugh so much.
