I am always in awe of Tiffany Reisz. The Chateau, like all her other books, hits every note for me with smart and dialogue, dry humor, well-defined characters and an original plot. The story of Kingsley in his 2os going undercover in a French commune ruled by women is twisty and twisted. It's the kind of book you can go back to and enjoy different levels of detail each time.

Kingsley Boissonneault liked living on the edge. As an operative with a French military secret agency, he endured many aspects of the job. But his latest assignment was nothing like the others. Infiltrating a sex cult might sound like a dream job for him, if only he didn't have to face his greatest fear.

When it comes to Kingsley, I know I'm going to be entertained. He has always been one of my favorite characters in the series. He's confident and adorably cocky, and in this book we also get to see his vulnerable side. This is the time when he was still trying to find a footing and we get to follow his journey of pleasure and pain.

Madame is a new character that I love. Her brand of sadism was completely different than Soren, but not less painful. I admire her ways of putting Kingsley through his paces. I certainly wouldn't mind being an occupant of her chateau haha!

I really love the part with Madame and Kingsley. She played a significant role in his life and helped shape him to be the person he ended up in the series. And I will always love Soren. However in this book I feel like I wanted to know more – something that I am not already privy of when it comes to their relationship.

The Chateau is a story of recognizing one's true self. It gives a glimpse of Kingsley's psyche during a lesser known period of his colorful life and would satisfy the insatiable needs of The Original Sinners fans.

5* Kinky Kingsley Stars

I was so excited to be able to read and catch up with some of my favorite characters from the Original Sinners Series. This story centers around the much loved Kingsley in his younger years when he was serving with the French Foreign Legion and what he got up to in his “off” time. His curiosity and experimenting in these early years set him up for his future as the King of the Underground. This book had some new and very interesting and loveable characters. I was so happy to have glimpses of Søren throughout the book too.

This series has to be my all time favorite series and once again the book was very well written and flowed well. Thank you Tiffany Reisz for giving us another fix into the lives of our beloved sinners.

Thanks to NetGalley, Tiffany Reisz and 8th Circle Press for letting me read and review this ARC.

A dangerously sexy novel that will be sure to delight readers looking for something a little bit darker.

I needed more Kingsley in my life and I was not disappointed. He's just my favorite character in the Original Sinners series! He's sarcastic and witty, basically everything I strive to be.

C’est magnifique. Vraiment. Formidable.

First things first, I need to say I am a lover of the Original Sinners books. I have read them all. I read most of the novellas and the Christmas freebies too. I’m not a stand-alone reader. Every book has been amazing and added to the richness of the body of work.

You know I am team King? Did you know that? Because I am totally, utterly, completely Team King. And this book gave me my King in spades. 24 year old King no less! Do you hear the giggle in my voice? I am totally giggling. I want to be the one who meets King at the phone box. Please can it be me?

My beautiful Kingsley, he joined the French legion and he has a mission to find a lost boy who has been taken by pirates. But this is not Peter Pan. It could be Alice Through the Looking Glass though.

Tiffany writes of strong women, of men who are complex and of relationships that are just right. The Chateau gives us a glimpse into the moulding of King and his club. King can’t stop the dreams of the boy with white hair who always wants to win. I wonder who he is dreaming of.

I love the smell of winter.

The Chateau, An Erotic Thriller,  Tiffany Reisz

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre:  Mystery and Thrillers, Romance

I love the Sinners series ( and the side stories), adore Kingsley so was expecting to love this. Sadly though I didn't.
Its the same hot and sensual writing, King is a gorgeous young man here and we see echoes of the man he will grow into. There's lots of memories of Soren here, him and King, that weird but very symbiotic relationship they have and I thought I'd love the way how some of the gaps in the stories were filled. I just didn't connect with the book though, felt it was just stretching the series too far for me. As ever though I can see others love it and that's how it goes. Not all books suit all readers.
I really enjoyed the way the sensual and erotic sex was blended so perfectly with the stories in the Sinners series, up to this one. Here it seemed as though the sex took the place of the story, that lovely balance that's been so perfect for me was lost with Story taking a back-seat. That never works for me, I need a solid story to hang the sex on, or it just becomes meaningless.
I think its time for me to part with this series, stick to re-reading the first eight books and enjoying the shorter side stories as they come out.
.
Stars: Two, sadly a fail for me but of course others feel very differently. Subjective taste books...we'll never all agree.

C’est magnifique! This is the story of Kingsley after he left boarding school and before he became the underground king of New York. It’s a dark, sexy, and lovely story with all the feels and sighs that I’ve come to expect from Tiffany Reisz. This is a fantastic addition to the Original Sinners universe. I received a free e-book copy of this title from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

The Chateau is erotic, titillating, scintillating and downright dirty!!! Filled with mystery and intrigue at every turn that will keep you guessing until the last page.

Kingsley is an agent in a very secretive French Military agency. While recouping from his last mission he is recalled to duty for an assignment that is quite out of the ordinary. He must infiltrate a top secret sex cult known simply as The Chateau. While inside Kingsley is tasked with finding and returning home his commanding officers nephew.

There are many things about The Chateau that will make Kingsley feel like he belongs. Things that will make him question himself and what he would do if given the chance.

"Not all problems are meant to be solved, "she said. "Some are meant to be endured. All too often we learn more from living with the question than we ever would from the answer."

The Chateau was utterly delectable in a dark and debasing manner that will have you seeking out the dark that resides in us all.

This was my first read from Ms. Reisz and even though this is a standalone and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it, I think I'd get even more from it if I had already read the Original Sinners series.

** Received ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review**

A delightfully dirty tale of young Kingsley.

I love this series. I love these characters.

There were a few things that happened where I wasn't sure if I skipped over reading something or if details were left out.

Brillant! Torture émotionnelle et psychologique!
Wicked, leery, unputdownable.

Behind every masterpiece, there’s a master with a dream.
If Soren is the master, Kingsley is the masterpiece.
If Tiffany Reisz is the master, The Chateau is the masterpiece.

There are two things what I know for sure:
1) I’m going to biuld an altar for Tiffany Reisz.
2) I highlighted the whole book.

How I’ve missed this. Missed this world, missed Kingsley, missed this pain. Missed the boy with hair like June and eyes like January. ♥

„If there had ever really been ice int he boy’s veins, it had melted decades ago.”

What to say about this magnifique book? When I read, I enjoy losing myself in the atmosphere, finding that I can "see" what is being played out before me on the page. This book and the damn talented Tiffany Reisz have that just ability. I was hooked from the beginning. This story deeply fascinated me.
The reading of this novel rekindled my love of Histoire d'O. It has awakened a deep desire to re-read that book.

This is not a typical romance. It is intellectual, honest, poetic, intense, nothing short of brilliant. You don't see this type of depth in many romances. This isn't a light, breezy read. It's serious and thought-provoking, but not without laughs. It will make you think about real love and intimacy and what it really means to value it. It's also much more than romance. It's about personal redemption and sacrifice.

This book is why I love literature and passionate about it.

Beautiful, touching and enchanting writing. This book deserves to be read and enjoyed.

The Chateau By Tiffany Reisz is a stand alone erotic thriller set in the Original Sinner world. Personally I think you’d enjoy it more if have already read the previous books and fallen in love with Kingsley. Here we get to see young Kingsley sent on a mission into a “cult” where he meets Madame the woman in charge in The Chateau, who takes her inspiration from The Story of O. The Chateau is a house where the women rule and men serve. I have never read The Story of O but I think I need to.

We get to meet some new characters such as the Madame. She is such an interesting character. A sadist and a brutal one. But not in a physical sense. She is fascinating. We also get some old characters. Søren’s presence is all through the story. Even when he’s not there. He is still there.

Tiffany has yet again created an amazing story with out of this world characters. She took us into Kingsley’s past and made me fall in love with him all over again. I swear she is the reason I’m single. No man can compare to a King or a God. She also had me in floods of tears which I was not expecting. And I wish I could quote the part that made me cry. But it would be a spoiler!! Just go read it.

Would you play a game if you didn't know the rules? How would you pass the test?
Simple, you pass the test by taking the test.
This book was an amazing journey that sucks you right into their world and make you crave for more. I felt like an Alice in kinky wonderland for a while. This book, the plot, the writing and characters are all so delicious I want to live with them.
Kingsley works for a secret agency and he gets a new assignment: to find his boss's nephew Leon. Every other agent failed at the start but King being a King and masochist on top of all gives him advantage where others who tried failed. He gets into the chateau which is a whole new world of intrigue, sex, games, mind games, rules and fun. He finds Leon but things are not as straight forward as the information he was given. This isn't a cult, it's something much more intense and perfect for him. His time in chateau reveals more of Madame past and unexpected twists. Her story is a bit tragic though. The building itself is described in such manner a reader can see himself walking down the corridor. There is so much symbolism in this book, it is a joy to read it and it keeps the reader on edge till the end where there are some big revelations.
I loved how King adopted some lines for himself (appearing in previous books)
Pick one (referring to the dildos)
You're letting me choose?
It doesn't make much difference to me. It'll make a big difference to you.

I loved how the characters interact, and their dialogues made me laugh at time. They are really good. It's amazing to watch how Kingsley is jaded at first but in the chateau he is more playful and becomes more alive. We can see through the book how Kingsley changed and how he and Soren were always connected despite the time apart.
The Madame – she is femme fatale in this book. She doesn't show any weakness and she is a master game player. The puppeteer. When you think you figured her out – you don't. She surprised me with every decision and every line and she played her part perfectly. There was a moment I wanted to choke her but that's how it is with the best characters, you sometimes have love-hate relationship with them. Her games were the best and they keep you in suspense to the very end. She is brutal sadist and I would love for her to meet Soren for once. I wonder how they would interact (and torture Kingsley)?

Overall this was one amazing book. I would recommend it to all Original Sinners fans and everybody who loves great erotica with mind games suspense and some action.

I received a free e-book copy of this title from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This is the first book I've read by Tiffany Reisz and while it was very readable (I read it in two days), I had difficulty connecting to the world and the characters. Judging by other reviews I have seen, many things probably would have made more sense had I read the other books in the series. The book was occasionally interesting and quite hot, but there were whole stretches that I didn't buy or enjoy that much, and I felt that the pacing was all over the place (the story of the Chateau gets interrupted all out of sudden). Overall, I don't think it is a good primer for Reisz's world, although there is a character who is making me consider reading more of Reisz's books.

Very well written and constructed as always!
I loved to get to know Kingsley even better. He is a wonderful character! Which is the only reason why I could forgive him his descision ;-)
For all the Original-Sinner-Lovers put there this is a must. For everyone who doesn't know who I'm talking about: GO! Start reading "The Siren" and fall behind the Looking Glass ;-)

This was a quick read and OMG, was it fun!!!! This was my first book by Tiffany Reisz, made available from NetGalley. I didn't realize that it was book 9 (!!!) in the series, but to be honest, it didn't matter in the end. I didn't feel that i needed to read 8 prior books in order to fully enjoy this one. And enjoy I did!. Kingsley is such a fun character He is handsome, he is cocky, he is funny, he is arrogant. What not to love? It would also be fun to read a whole book about Madame, I would love to learn more about her and her relationship with her husband (she kicked him out 15 years ago, but is still in love with him. There is something to it)

Kingsley has always been my favorite character in the Original Sinners series. He's so complex. So misunderstood. So.....rawr. I love me some Kingsley. Miss Reisz did NOT disappoint. There was a little twist at the end that I did NOT see coming at ALL and I absolutely loved it. I loved getting to know Kingsley a little better and seeing what makes him, him.

Paris. 1989.

Kingsley is a 24 year old agent in some secret french military branch.

He was supposed to have another two weeks off, but now his boss sends him on a new 'adventure'. The 19 year old nephew of the colonel is staying at this mysterious 'Château' place.

They don't know if he wants to be there or if he's being held against his will.

Off to the sex château Kingsley goes.....

Eeeep. Finally back with our darlings. ♥

Well, it's mostly only darling King, but the Priest is there too - all through the book - mostly in Kingsley's dreams and memories!

And that's basically what is happening. King is happy being at that sex 'cult' place - it's kinda his sexiest dream come true. But in his nightly dreams and nightmares he tries to come to grips with his love/hate relationship with Søren.

And while dealing with his Søren problems, Kingsley is having an amazing and a very sexy time at this place. No idea why his boss is so worried about his nephew. Or is there something happening here that Kingsley hasn't discovered yet??? ☺

Amazing book! No idea how Tiffany manages to write every single Sinners book just SO perfectly perfect. So heartbreakingly amazing that we fall in love with those guys all over again - every single time!?

I just LOVED seeing Kingsley & Søren again. Even though the Priest was never really here.☺

It was exciting and mega erotic and moving and sad and my heart broke a little for our young King. Ugh. That poor guy. This unbelievably huge love he has for that winter-smelling blondie....

I just adore all of this!

I enjoyed reading this story so much and I strongly suggest that Tiffany should write a Sinners book every other month for the rest of eternity!!!! ☺ Thank You!

Oh and if you're new to the #OriginalSinners, you should start with book #1! You need to read every single word ever written about The Priest and his King and Queen!!! ASAP!

Once again, bravo to Tiffany. I devoured this novel in less than 24 hours and was sad to see it end.

Feminists are once again making a stand in the world and the timing seems quite perfect as this novel is an intriguing look into the world of a strong, sadistic and mysterious woman.

A 24 year old Kingsley is a delight to know. He’s fun, he’s horny and he’s as sexy as ever. But he’s as always, ever the gent. This story gives us another look into the why’s and how’s and gives us greater understanding about the foundations Kingsley goes on to build his life upon.
So many paragraphs in this story took me back to where it all began and my mind was transported back to a sad and emotional chapter for Kingsley in the fictional lives of The Original Sinners, yet he longed to be back there with the boy in white. For me, reminiscing was sheer bliss.

Another masterpiece from Tiffany Reisz.

How does she do it? No really HOW?! Whenever I return to the original sinners series, no matter the time period or place, I feel like I’m coming home. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of Ma. Reisz’s other novels. I love her mysteries her historicals and her romances, but there is just something so exquisite about her erotic novels. She has created the holy trinity of characters, Nora, Soren and Kingsley. This novel focuses on Kingsley at the young age of 24 and living in France. His job is sort of like a secret agent/assassin and he is told to investigate a sex “cult” where the men who disappear there, never want to leave. We meet some exquisite women who love sex and love to dominate including the Madame, no other name, that’s it. Oh and the men serve the women not just sexually, but in all things like cooking and cleaning etc. I love the little twists and turns and the references to the Story of O and obviously, Kingsley’s smart mouth. If you love this series then trust me, you will absolutely love this addition to this insanely kinky and awesome world that only Ms. Reisz could create.
