These characters, the tangled webs they get themselves into, I LOVE IT!!

Tiffany can still make Sóren, Nora, and Kingsley fresh after all these stories, books they are still incredible to read. Everytime, I read an Original Sinners story it's like I'm being surrounded by friends and I'm welcomed home.

This one is hard for me to review without revealing any spoilers. But here goes.....

Nora is typical Nora only happier, less restless. Sòren is as always insightful, he always breaks my heart somehow, Kingsley is a daddy a real honest to goodness daddy. I couldnt be happier for him. These three have come so far and I believe have a few more tricks up thier sleeves.

The story revolves around a dead priest and Nora is going to help crack the case. Her partner Cyrus was a great addition to her friends list. The two just mesh. But really when has Nora not meshed with anyone. The case is intriguing,, thier clues are kinky, mysterious and a little dangerous, but Nora can handle herself. Although Cy does lend a hand hes such a gentlemen. I truly loved thier friendship.

Tiffany though had me in tears in this one too. Sören and Nora give us more of themselves, we get so much insight into the two of them. Together they are truly an amazing couple. Apart....I dont like to think about it.

There are some really huge moments in this story, I'm talking huge!!!! There are moments that will break your heart, and then moments to make you giggle. But the big moment will shock you.

Enjoy the ride, even if it's not in the backseat of a Rolls-Royce's its fabulous.

I LOVE Tiffany Reisz' books especially 'The original Sinners series'. This is book 9 in the original Sinners series where Soren comes clean about fathering a child. As a consequence he's been suspended from the Jesuits for a year. He's left Kingsley and Nora back in New Orleans while he travels around the country. In another part of the world, a priest lies dead in his home, cause of death deemed a suicide. The priest's last call was apparently made to Nora. The local police department get the help of a PI who travels to New Orleans to question Nora about her connection with the dead priest. The events that follow show Nora and the PI teaming up to figure out why the priest might've killed himself. In the midst of all this Soren returns to New Orleans and resumes his relationships with Nora and Kingsley.
This book was set in New Orleans and Tiffany has added elements of witchcraft in this book which made for a fascinating read. Of course, I really enjoy reading about the unholy Trinity that is Soren, Nora and Kingsley. I'm sure there'll be more to their story and I can't wait to read more!

I’m one of those less is more people so did I need another book in the series? No. Am I glad for The Priest? Yes. I love the caper vibe even though it’s dark and awful. I love that the main relationship focus is on Nora and Søren. I love that there are only two POVs and one of them is a brand new character. And I very much appreciated that light that gets shed on the beginning of Nora and Søren because it needed to be talked about between them. Good and bad is rarely black and white and often the difference comes down to choice.

Thank you 8th Circle Press and NetGalley for the ARC!

Would give it 10 stars if I could! If you have read the rest of the series don’t stop now. This may be the best one of all. I enjoyed the mystery aspect of the story. I’m not sure why but it felt as if the mystery overshadowed the lifestyle aspects of the book. The character development continues to amaze.

6* Amazing Sinner Stars

The priest was my most anticipated read so far this year and it was so worth the wait because it was a fantastic all-consuming read. Every book in the Original Sinners has been a 5* Star read but this one was a 6* Star for me. The Original Sinners has to be my all-time favourite series.

This story was a little different from the others because Nora, who is now living in New Orleans gets herself involved with a PI to figure out why a Priest would commit suicide just before trying to contact her on her old New York number. The platonic relationship that Nora had with the PI Cyrus was very entertaining and heartfelt. They made friends fast. On their mission to solve this mystery they encounter some weird and wonderful people who will have you highly entertained.

Soren and Kinglsey make appearances in the story and catching up with them was such a treat. There were some deep moments of love and digging into the past between Soren and Nora where truths are exposed, and honesty laid bare.

This was once again a flawless, well thought out entertaining read.
To be able to catch up with these sexy sinners is such a treat, thank you Tiffany and please continue to bring us their stories.

Wow not what I was expecting! This book was part detective novel and part super kinky alternative lifestyle ... romance? These folks would make Christian Grey blush. I have not read the previous books in this series but apparently these characters have quite an extensive and colorful history together. Writing and plot were solid and it was a good (albeit eye opening) read.

Here I am...staring off into space, wondering what I am going to do with my life now that I've finished this book. Was this my favorite in the series? No. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. You see, Nora Sutherlin is probably one of my...if not, the favorite...book heroines ever for me. I adore the way Ms. Reisz has written her. The way after 9 books and countless novellas she doesn't veer from character canon...Nora's smart, savvy, beautiful, wicked, jaded...and a wee bit broken. This lady has been through some *stuff*, I want to be her when I grow up. This cast of characters is wildly entertaining and...an unconvential family that you can't help but root for.

<i>The Priest</i> definitely focuses more on Nora, than on Søren, Kingsley or the rest of the crew...although we do get name drops of the rest. We get introduced to Cyrus, a private detective, whom I absolutely adore. And Mercedes...who, well, I'm not going to spoil any of that business.

This book could potentially be a standalone, but I really don't know why anyone would want to go into this series blind at this point...there is so much amazing backstory you'd be missing out on this far in...and I'm being completely honest here, this series is one of my favorites, ever!

A couple of standout lines here.

<i>Excuse me. Dracula. Elvira. Can we focus?</i> *giggle*

<i>...you understand why women desire-sometimes, not all the time, and certainly not all women-to submit to a powerful man as it's so hard to be a woman in a world so hostile to women. The fantasy of having a powerful protector is a potent one when it seems like the threats from dangerous men are everywhere all the time. </I>

I laughed, I cried. And man, even though there isn't as much in this book as some of the others, the smut is nuclear. I'll miss them until-God, I hope there's a next time...a novella...a something, please tell me there's a something in the future, because this ending, not a cliffhanger, but wow, I just am already sad and missing everything about them! Thank you to NetGalley and 8th Circle Press for the advance release copy in exchange for an honest review. 4 stars.

A priest commits suicide and Mistress Nora's business card is found on him as the cops process the crime scene. When the case seems a bit fishy, but the police close the case as a suicide, a private investigator is brought in to look into the situation.

What follows next is a terrifically crafted and impactful story. Cyrus Tremont is terrific as he appeals to Nora to help him unravel the case. There's terrific banter between these two, which was a welcome aspect to this dark story. It's not hard to see what might be behind the priest's suicide, and the way Cyrus and Nora work together provides the lighter element that is much needed in this story.

And there's more to The Priest than just this mystery. Soren is back, and he's deliberating his return to the Jesuit order which comes with some significant conditions. I've never been much of a Soren fan, mostly because I don't think he's honest with himself, but The Priest changed that for me somewhat. He's confronted with finding that honesty inside himself in this book and the circumstances of the suicide bring him to the brink of understanding. I just loved this about this story and I've found myself having a softer heart toward Soren for it. The Priest finally deals with some issues I've had with this complicated character, namely his vows and it sheds light on Soren in a way that made him seem more human, more vulnerable, and I adored that about this story. Even Nora sees him in a slightly different light and that impacts some of the decisions related to faith and the church that she makes.

There are so many wonderful insightful lines lines from the various characters in this and I just wanted to read them and then read them again. It says some fairly important things about men, women, power and inequality, especially the ending which had me holding my breath just a little bit.

This might be my one of my favorite books in this series and from this author. I loved everything about it. If you like romantic suspense and BDSM erotica, you might like this. It can be read standalone, but for the full effect of these wonderful complex and creative characters, I recommend reading the series in order.

***ARC received in exchange of an honest opinion***

Do you cry your eyes out when you read a good book? I rarely do, but Tiffany Reisz is ALWAYS the exception to any of my rules! That is what happens when you finish a book that makes your heart soar and that is so filled with emotion that you cannot stop feeling!!!

The Priest is everything I needed since The Mistress. Not only Nora needed it, but I did too! I needed the explanations, the motives and everything, but as usually, Tiffany gave it to us when we were ready! And boy was I ready! I fell in love with Søren all over again with this book. I loved that I got to see a side of him that he hadn't yet shown us. I mean, he even surprised Nora, so you know things are serious.

Not only a side of Søren, the DOM; but of Søren, the Priest and also, most of all, Søren, the man. Because I think that he finally allowed himself to feel like a man in this book, without his many titles (and talents). I also love how vulnerable he is, but still so very strong and so very dominant.

I saw the more vulnerable side of Nora in the Confessions book, but now we get to see a different kind of strength in her. I mean, from the first book we knew Nora was badass. Either she's Mistress Nora, Eleanor or Nora Sutherlin, she's always strong and always a badass. I feel like she's the most vulnerable when she's just Eleanor, with Søren. She gives glimpses of her vulnerability with other people, like King (I mean, with their history, there's no way she wouldn't), even maybe with Nico. But with Søren she allows herself to just be her. But there is just something Søren has never been able to see, until this book.

The Priest is written in Tiffany's usual mastery, I mean, I don't know many authors who can write like her. It's something out of the ordinary the way she writes. I cannot even explain, because I don't even think there's any explanation for it. Tiffany just writes in a way that everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING fits. And even so, I still doubt her sometimes. I mean, for a moment there I was screaming at my kindle and going into panic mode with everything she was hinting would happen. For reals, I actually started to get anxious, as in I didn't think I would be able to handle it. But as usual, and now I've learned my lesson (AGAIN), she is the master. I could not stop smiling and crying.

I bow to the way Tiffany writes her stories, specially this one. I don't say this very often about writers (not because I don't believe they are, but because most of the times it sounds a bit pretentious), but Tiffany Reisz is a true artist. There's no other way to describe it. She doesn't bullshit us with her writing, she doesn't avoid the (sometimes ugly) truths - she definitely didn't avoid it with this book - she doesn't need to pretend or overdramatize the story, everything just flows with her.

The Priest is exactly what I wanted, times so much more! It's perfect and I have a very fuzzy warm feeling in my heart after reading it (although it's probably not the reaction Søren would want LOL).

So thank you Tiffany! For giving us much more than we wanted and exactly what we needed! Thank you for this gift in form a book! Jeg esker din skrivning!

Nora has found a new life in New Orleans. This time ‘after Soren’ is full of promises for the future. Kingsley and Juliette are expanding their family, and Nora couldn’t be happier in her role as Aunt Nora. While planning for the newest arrival to the Edge family, Nora can’t help but reminisce on the life she has led with Soren and Kingsley. So many events have led them to this place in life.

When a private detective show up with questions about a murder, Nora finds herself inadvertently drawn into this chaos. With questions that lack answers, Nora can’t help but feel pulled to the mystery that followed her via business card. Nora and the detective scour the streets of New Orleans to uncover the mystery surrounding a priest’s death. Vampires, Witches, and dungeons will lead Nora on a journey that will delve into the depths of her own delicate heart.

The Priest is the latest book in the Original Sinner series. As the sequel to The Queen – The Priest pulled me back into the lives of my favorite Sinners. Kingsley, Nora, and Soren all play a part in this saga. Each adding a layer to the journey that Nora finds herself embarking upon. While the novel is a standalone, I cannot stress enough how important reading the rest of the series can be. So many nuances are involved in the past books between Nora, Soren, Kingsley, and Juliette.

While the book is titled The Priest, our beautiful Soren is NOT the Priest that is referred to in the title. Nora’s adventures will involve a Priest, a mystery, and a self-reflection that will change how this Sinners head into the future. Simply put……I loved this book!! I can never get enough of Soren, Nora and Kingsley!!

I love Tiffany Reisz and the way she creates these hard-to-put-down stories. "The Priest" is part of her "Original Sinners" series and a reader would do well to be familiar with the earlier books although it may be read as a standalone. Not only do we get the unholy trinity (Nora, Soren, and King) now living in New Orleans in all their glory, but in "The Priest" Nora plays amateur detective to help solve a mystery involving a former cop, a witch, and a priest who committed suicide. I love these characters with all my heart and catching up with them is akin to checking up on good (albeit kinky) friends.

Tiffany Reisz is a wonderful writer. Her books are never "justs". Never just erotica, never just crime, never just anything but good!

I absolutely loved this book. It's always like a special gift when Tiffany Reisz adds to the story of her wonderful Original Sinners books, and this one did not disappoint.

Cyrus is a great new addition to the cast, and I suspect and hope he will turn up in future stories. This book definitely left the door open for more of the saga.

Without giving anything away, I must add that I appreciated the ending and how the far-reaching repercussions worked out. Thank you to the author for that.

I give this book a whole-hearted five-star rating and hope for more soon!

I am so glad I’ve not had to work this week. I did not want to put this book down. I have read every single book created by the goddess Tiffany Reisz, and did not think I could love Soren and Nora more but it’s happened. I have missed them so much.

This is easily one of my favorite books from Tiffany. I loved everything about it. If you like romantic suspense and BDSM erotica, you will love this and anything she has written. It can be read standalone, but I recommend reading the series in order.

If you are not familiar with this author, try her series. This one belongs to continuity of the title The Queen. Her books are not only steamy and shall be read by adult audience, but the author has a talent for creativity in her books. You are going to like her books or completely don't like it. Everyone is different.

Book nine is here!!!! OMG I am dying!! But although this is a book 9 you can totally read it without read the others according to the author. I have loved Reisz's stories since I first read her titles. And this one was a total hit. If you loved the other books you will love this one and this one readers was EPIC!!

4.5 Stars!

Continuing in the Original Sinners timeline, Nora Sutherlin has relocated to New Orleans with her chosen family. While Søren is suspended for one year and Kingsley and Juliette are expecting baby number two, a local priest is found dead and Nora was his last phone call. A local detective, Cyrus Tremont, is hired to get answers, but after meeting Nora, he discovers there may be many more questions.

This plot skirts the dividing line between an Original Sinners book and a spinoff. While I liked aspects of both, I was torn at times because I really wanted to delve more into certain plot developments between Nora and Søren which kept me captivated. However, I also enjoyed how Nora and Cyrus cultivated their friendship while investigating the case.

As usual, Nora is in typical form, as well as, the Søren and Kingsley. The depth of these characters is ever apparent, showing a range of humor, pain and ultimately love. Selfishly, I would have liked to peek in the window of Søren’s bedroom on one particular night and absolutely loved the ultimate adventure on another night.

The Priest is an erotic story with mystery yet also delves into the weakness and strengths of its characters.

*An ARC was provided in exchange for an honest review.*

<b><i>“That’s Mistress Little One to you.”</i></b>

The unholy trinity, together with Kingsley's family, are settling and enjoying their life in New Orleans and with Søren being suspended, he and Nora were enjoying and basking their new found layer in their relationship. <i>“This is weird, walking with you at night in public.”</i>


When Nora's business card is found on a priest who committed suicide, our residence dominatrix, being quite intrigued, becomes a concerned sleuth together with PI Cyrus Tremont.

I liked this new route [author:Tiffany Reisz|4480131] has taken. Not the only the endeavour in trying to resolve the why behind the suicide, but also the mystic of New Orleans was a compelling combination.

While Nora is indulging her new sleuthing ambition, Søren is watching and making sure she is mindful and taking precautions. And he sure as hell makes sure they are both content and satisfied. And his gift to Nora? Awesome, <i>“It’s incredibly…generous? Let’s go with that. Incredibly generous—and brave—of you to offer.”</i>

While I'll always relish getting back in touch with the unholy trinity, this was so very different from the other books. I missed King and would have really liked to read his and Søren's scene.

<b><i>“After last night, he’ll be needing more than a day to recover,” Søren said with a little sinister note of giddiness in his tone.</i></b>

I am so excited to be back in the world of the Original Sinners. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen these characters in action. I’ve really missed these kinky weirdos and can’t believe that we’re going to be getting more books with them. No one does erotica like Tiffany Reisz. I cannot giver her or her books enough praise.

WARNING: Due to sexual content, this story is for mature (18 and over) audiences only.

The 9th installment of The Original Sinners series is here, and oh man is it a journey! This story takes us into some of the darker realities of life, makes us question things we thought we knew, and brings us more of our favorite sinners as they try and settle into their new lives in New Orleans.

As is the case when you pick up a novel from this author, you are immediately immersed in her world. Each time I read one of these stories, it feels like a homecoming, and these characters feel like old familiar friends. One of the things I most enjoy is that these stories stay fresh and new despite this now being the ninth book (not including the other various novellas that have been put out).

Even the introduction of a new (totally vanilla) character only heightens the enjoyment of the reader, watching as Nora, Søren, and even Kingsley open Cyrus' eyes to a world he knew nothing about brought about more than one laugh out loud moment (and can we take a moment to talk about the friendship forged between him and Nora? I adored every moment they spent exchanging witty comebacks). There were some twists and turns that I didn't see coming, and a conclusion that I admit at first I didn't expect. Ms.Reisz definitely makes the reader think about some rather tough topics that they may not want to address.

However, unlike prior novels in this series, I do think that you need to have read at least one of the other novels in this series for this one to truly make sense (especially parts of the ending). Nora especially has a beautiful ARC when you see how far she's come from the first book. I will definitely read more from this author!
