      I was first introduced to Nora in The Siren, the first book in the Original Sinners. By then Nora had lots of experience under her belt. So it was nice to read who Nora really was before The Siren in this book. It was easy to see however that Eleanor was destined to become Nora. Nora would not have been the woman she is now if it was not for Soren. Which I liked that Soren did not give into his urges instantly with Eleanor. She was rebellious and needed to learn patience. Soren did teach her this among other things. Although this is more like an erotic read, the story had good depth and the characters actually had personalities as well. Thus the reason that I really enjoyed this book. This just so happens to be a really good thing as this book is a big book at 448 pages. Yet, it is a quick read. The relationship that Eleanor shared with Kingsley was also a special one. The men in Eleanor's life are good guys that are not afraid to show passion.

      5 "Oh My God" Stars! Tiffany Reisz is one of the most talented erotica writers! The symbolism and play on words that she employs in The Saint just blew my mind! I couldn't get enough of this story. Every time I attempted to put it down, I just found myself thinking about it and replaying and dissecting pieces of it, until I eventually found myself picking it right up again, because I just needed to immerse myself in it again! From a reading order perspective, although this book is labeled as book 1, according to the author's Goodreads page, it is actually not the recommended starting place for this series which is broken down into two parts: The Red Years Quartet (The adventures of Nora Sutherlin, Dominant and erotica writer) and The White Years Quartet (The adventures of Eleanor Schreiber, submissive). Instead, she recommends that you read The Red Years Quartet first (which was also published first). But if you're impulsive like me, and just can't wait to read the latest book, don't worry. I personally had not read any of the other books in this series and did not feel lost starting with this one. In fact, I think it may have actually heightened some of the suspense, as at the beginning of the story, the main character is grieving over the loss of a loved one, but it was not until the very end that I learned who that was. Throughout the whole book I kept dreading that it might have been someone else, as this book almost felt like a eulogy to me, given the reverence and love that is so clearly communicated for one of the characters. I was so emotionally relieved when the mystery is finally revealed at the end, that I actually cried. Had I started with the recommended reading order, I imagine I would have missed this emotionally charged aspect. Of course now that I am so invested and intrigued by these characters, I definitely want to go back and read the entire series, starting with The Siren, Book 1 of the The Red Years Quartet part of The Original Sinners series. This is a story within a story. The main character, who today goes by Nora Sutherlin (but who was born Eleanor Schreiber), tells her new lover the "fairy tale" of how she became the person she is today, including how she met her first love, who also happens to be her lover's father's best friend and their intricately interrelated past. With a thief for a father, who she has never been able to rely on, and a mother, who she believes always regretted her (given that she preferred to become a nun but only settled for motherhood when she found herself pregnant at the tender age of 17), it is no wonder that Eleanor Schreiber is different from your typical teenager. Unfiltered and rebellious to a core, Eleanor questions everything and longs to drown her misfortune in the gratifying feeling of pain.Forced to attend Catholic masses by her mother, Eleanor is ready to give up on religion until fortune changes her life's course the day she meets Reverend Soren Stearns, the new priest at her church. Soren is unlike any other priest she has ever known, and she is instantly obsessed with his good looks, intelligence and ability to read and truly understand her. Soren, in turn, is equally captivated by Eleanor. When Eleanor gets charged with grand theft auto (her father had convinced her to steal cars for him to pay off a debt, but rather than bail her out when she is caught, he flees the scene and abandons her), it is Soren who comes to her aid. To save her though, he has to call in a favor with an old, dangerous friend, Kingsley, and in return she has to promise complete and total obedience to Soren. It is this rescue that seals their fate.Soon Eleanor and Soren start spending countless hours together as Soren is tasked with monitoring her community service. The attraction is undeniable, but even as Eleanor strives to throw herself at Soren, Soren fights even harder to keep her at bay given the multiple layers of forbidden love. In addition to the taboo nature of a love affair with a priest, Soren recognizes that Eleanor is still only a child at 15 (especially compared to his 29 years of age), and perhaps the most compelling reason Soren resists Eleanor is that notwithstanding her self-professed masochistic tendencies, he knows that his erotic, sadist inclinations are far darker than any she could possibly imagine.So begins their journey, aided in part by Soren's best friend, Kingsley, who also happens to be a notorious BDSM private club owner with ties to the mob. The Saint primarily focuses on the four years between Eleanor's 16th and 20th birthday, when Soren slowly reveals his secret life and dark past and simultaneously helps ensure that Eleanor really understands what she claims she wants and helps her prepare to enter his secret world.Powerful, intense, thought-provoking and definitely not your typical romance, but oh so good. If you love edgy, dark, original BDSM erotica, then I can't recommend The Saint highly enough!Source: Review copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

      “If I had something that valuable, I’d lock it up.” He smiled at her. “I plan to.” That's one of 32 passages I highlighted while reading "The Saint." 32. This book is everything. Absolutely everything. I've followed Tiffany Reisz's characters from the very beginning, including all of her short stories, and they just keep getting better. Achingly, heart-wrenchingly, rip your heart out and then ever so gently put it back together amazing.

      In "The Saint," the first book in the White Years Quartet, we watch Nora and Søren meet and fall in love -- such a pedestrian term for their relationship, honestly. It's a love most of us only hope to have, and Tiffany crafts it beautifully. I laughed, I cried, my heart ached over and over again. Tiffany is a sadist, and I'm the masochist eager to take the pain she doles out over and over if it means just a little more time with Soren, Nora, and Kingsley. Beautiful.

      After having read and loved the first book in this series, The Siren, I just knew I had to read the rest of these books. The Original Sinners series has eight books in total.While The Siren kicks of the series and should be read first, I think The Saint is best read second because it takes the reader into these characters pasts and give an idea of who they are and why.I have to say author Tiffany Reisz blew me away again. I loved The Saint as much, if not more than The Siren. When I was done reading The Siren, I wanted to know more about these characters, in particular Soren, who is Nora’s true love. I didn’t really care for Soren in book 1, but here as I learned more about his past, I began to like him.The Saint begins with Nora telling a story to her young lover Niko, in a cottage no less, in the Black Forest of Bavaria. The setting has a fairy tale feel to it. Nora is heartbroken, although the reason why is not revealed until the end, but the reader knows someone she loves has passed away.As Nora tells Niko her story, she starts from when she was a young teen in a Catholic school where she met Soren. Nora also details how she met Kingsley, who plays a huge role in these books and is Soren’s best friend.Young teen-aged Nora a.k.a. Eleanor is fun to read about and never whiny, which I appreciated. She was sassy and funny and I could see how she came to love Soren. She is already writing stories in this one and Soren encourages her. I loved the 90’s music references i.e. 4 Non Blondes and Eddie Vedder.Soren is a heart-throb with a dark side, he is mysterious and as I read I just wanted to know more about him.“She should submit to him in love and without fear, giving her body to him like a holy offering and making their bed an altar.”p.147 The SaintAgain, Tiffany Reisz cleverly writes a sexy, dark, sometimes sad, funny and shocking story. I love her writing style and I gobble up her words. The romance is unconventional, the writing is smart and clever and the characters are unforgettable. Reisz weaves in religion, morality and sex effortlessly. I have been collecting these books for my shelves as they definitely deserve real shelf space, not e-book space.Onto the next book….disclaimer: I received my free copy of The Saint via AmazonVine. This review is my honest opinion. Although I receive free books via publishers and authors, I am never obligated to write a positive review.

      The Saint by Tiffany Reisz(Book #5: The Original Sinners Series)Source: NetgalleyRating: 6 stars!!What’s normal for me:*I HATE reading a series out of order even if the books can be read as standalones. I have actually stopped reading a book when I discovered a preceding title in order to read the preceding title and then start the second book again so I can maintain the series order. Yeah, I’m that kind of anal *I LOVE backstory and history, especially in a long series. For me, the backstory and the history is the heart of any series. This is the part where you get to dig into the characters you know and love (or not!) and understand them a bit better. I have the utmost respect for any author who can build (and that’s what it is, building!) a history and a backstory for his/her characters and make it believable, pertinent and, interesting.*I am not the biggest fan of BDSM especially when it borders on something as dark as sadism but, this author has a huge and very loyal following so I thought I would give it a go. *I rarely ever finish a book and then go straight to Amazon and buy every other book in the series.*I only use a five star rating system.What happened with this book:*I have not read the rest of this series and had no idea I was reading this book out of order. When I realized my mistake I wasn’t even a little bit pissed.*I got an amazingly detailed read with all of the backstory and history of two of the major players in this series. I already know where they started and how they got to where they currently are in their lives and relationship.*Let me be clear, I am now a huge fan of Tiffany Reisz’s brand of BDSM. While the kink is pretty dark in this read, Reisz handles it with care and makes it palatable to even the most squeamish of readers. In fact, she leads the reader into this dark, often dangerous and, seriously erotic world in baby steps. By the time the plot took me to the really intense stuff I was already so invested in the characters and understood how they got to be who they are that I was totally OK with the darkness.*I had to force myself to put this book down and do my “real” job. Seriously, I had to bargain with myself: OK, if I work for 45 minutes I can then go read two more chapters of this book. Only a truly excellent read can get me to bargain with myself like this since I am an admitted workaholic. Furthermore, the second I finished this book, I went straight to Amazon and bought (at full freakin’ price!) the preceding four books in the series and then read the latest five-part novella series (thank you, Netgalley!) in a single sitting. The Bottom Line: I have only handed down a 6 star review a couple of times since I started writing reviews more than three years ago. (1½ years for my own blog and 1½ for AToMR – yeah, I just name-dropped right there!) I was simply blown away by the care and handling of this book and the seriously dark themes that it delves into. Tiffany Reisz and her excellent writing style took me through this story step-by-step and made sure I was ready for the big, heavy bits. Make no mistake, dear reader this is NOT a book for the faint of heart and the big, heavy bits are actually HUGE, GINORMOUS bits that will leave you, at times heartbroken, at times aroused, at times mystified, at times overjoyed and, all the time interested and invested . The Saint delves into many, many dark parts of the BDSM world but it isn’t a read that is just about the sex. This is, at its core a love story and about how two people come together and stay together through the most trying of times and circumstances. The Saint is Nora and Søren’s history, their very lives. By every standard and convention, Nora and Søren’s love is forbidden and when you add to the mix their mutual desire for pain, it becomes even more taboo. The Saint is a very, very dark, emotional, erotic and completely fascinating read and I am thoroughly glad that I gave it a go. Tiffany Reisz took me well out of my comfort zone and I was absolutely rewarded with a fantastic read.

      Title - The SaintAuthor - Tiffany ReiszSummary - Eleanor has never been one to follow the rules, unless they were set to be by her lover, her master, Soren. But this time she needs to get away from her life, her many lovers, and the world of pain and pleasure she has built around her. She leaves everyone behind and flees to Bavaria, the Black Forest, to a lonely forgotten cabin in the woods. Alone with her thoughts Eleanor is awakened by a knock on her door. It is Nico, her submissive, come to care for her. Together, alone in the cabin where no one knows they are, they find comfort with each other as only Nico and Mistress Nora can. When the heat subsides, Nora finds herself confiding in Nico the true reason of her journey to this cabin. Nora tells the story of her origin. How she met Soren and Kingsley. How she became initiated into their world and how she came to be Mistress Nora. Eleanor was a teenage girl, rebellious to her school and her parents; parents whose fractured marriage is finally breaking. Her father is on the run, from the police and criminals alike. Her mother, heart broken from her marriage and unable to cope with Eleanor, sends her to a parochial school to learn discipline."..All Grimm's fairy tales start and end the same way," she said. She took a deep breath and began. "Once there lived..." She paused and let the knife of grief stab her stomach again. She took the pain, breathed through it and let it out. "Once there lived...a priest..." It is here at the school, in the church, she meets the priest who will be her master, Soren. The tall handsome priest stirs in the young teenage Eleanor a desire stronger then she has ever felt. His aloofness and taboo nature only heightened her lust. A heat that the many sides of Soren quickly recognize."..You're not a normal priest, are you?" He gave her a smile that hit her like a slap to the face and a kiss on the mouth all at once. "My God, I hope not..." As Nico listens, Nora tells the tale of the young girl, the priest and the world of sexual exploration she is introduced to. Under the stern and gentle hands of Soren, Nora begins to understand her own desires and sexuality. She learns that pain can be pleasure and that causing a wound can help to heal other wounds. Slowly, deeply, beyond her own youthful lust, she becomes enamored with the priest Soren. The sadist Soren. Her master Soren."..Nora," Nico said. "So much lost." "So much found." She took his face in her hands and kissed him. "Do you believe in God?" "I'm a grape farmer. My whole life I've watched water turn into wine. Of course I believe in God..." Alone with Nico, in a cabin in the Black Forest, Eleanor must come to terms with the girl she was and the woman she has become.Review - This is it. This is the novel that all fans of Tiffany Reisz have been waiting for. The story of how Eleanor became Mistress Nora and how she fell in love with the priest Soren. Her introduction into the world of bondage and sadism. Her love of the man and his desire for the young girl that would become the love of his world. It would have been enough if that was all this story was about, but that is only the beginning of the history of Eleanor as a teenager. There is sadness in the narrative of Nora as she speaks of the young naïve Eleanor. There is a loss in the innocence of the girl. Let's be real, Tiffany Reisz writes erotica. She specializes in the series of Soren, Kingsley and Nora in dominatrix/submissive sex. It is hot and heavy and will leave the reader as breathless as the lovers on the page are. But these books are not just about sex. The erotica is simply the vehicle that Reisz uses; and uses extremely well, to tell a tale of emotion, angst and triumph. This is high drama. The emotions that Reisz fills her characters with makes them so well rounded that it is no surprise that they enjoy ardent following they do. So put down that glossy copy of 50 shades and step up to the real tales. Step up into the world of Mistress Nora. An excellent read.
