ARC Book Review : Winter Tales by Tiffany Reisz

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.

I had almost forgotten how much I enjoyed the unholy trio but this collection brought all those fun memories back. Each story has a thread that connects to the next. We start with Nora and Zach, who I missed so much, searching for Nico, who I don’t love so much. They also talk about the future for Fionn and his secret dad. Nora and Zach have some serious fun on their trip and it ends on quite a beautiful moment with Søren and Kingsley and a phone. This story leads to a super-naughty xxx-mas with the original sinners as they have flashbacks of all their moments. We get two Magdalena stories that bookmark some Søren history and his future. The latter not pleasing me tbh. Kingsley and Søren have a nice chunk of this book and it is perfection. Tiffany writes these characters so amazingly well. I just adore them. We also see a bit of Michael and Griffin before they’re wed. Love this fun collection. It will definitely warm you up.
