Review: Winter Tales by Tiffany Reisz



Winter Tales (The Original Sinners #8.7)
by Tiffany Reisz An Original Sinners Christmas Anthology

Return to USA Today bestseller Tiffany Reisz's Original Sinners series with Winter Tales, a collection of three fan-favorite Christmas novellas plus a brand-new novella exclusive to this anthology. 
 
In December Wine, the long-awaited story of Nora Sutherlin's first meeting with Nico can finally be told. Nora enlists her editor (and sometimes lover) Zach Easton on a mission to track down Kingsley's long-lost son. Nicolas "Nico" Delacroix turns out to be young, strikingly handsome, and very French. He wants nothing to do with his father...but everything to do with Nora.

This special holiday-themed collection also includes the novellas Poinsettia , The Christmas Truce , and The Scent of Winter (previously available only as ebooks). A bonus short story starring Søren rounds out the Winter Tales anthology. 



What I thought about Winter Tales

With Winter Tales Tiffany Reisz has put together a wonderful collection of winter themed short stories set in the Original Sinners world.  I started out reading this (and bad on me for not reading this closer to release date ) with the intention to just read the newest in the bunch, but ended up reading the entire offering. There's something about Tiffany Reisz's characters and her writing that this reader in and won't let me go.  It's like visiting old friends.

In December Wine, Nora and Zach go looking for Nico in France.  I really like how these stories reveal little bits of a larger puzzle that the reader doesn't get to see until Ms. Reisz lets you.  It's an intriguing and sometimes frustrating way to compose a story.  It really keeps things interesting.

This story had me thinking about secrets and the trouble knowing a secret can cause and had me examining my own feelings regarding marriage fidelity.  I like that about this series.

Fans of the series definitely need this.  It's hard for me to say how it works for new readers.

I loved the time I spent revisiting with these characters reading Winter Tales. The characters fascinate me, and it's all good.

This sort of thing is most fun when you get extra depth to characters you know and love. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
