Nora Sutherlin, Dominatrix-turned-literary-star, is held prisoner by two dangerous men. Under different circumstances she would enjoy this immensely. These men aren’t lovers, however, but tools of vengeance from an old adversary. Possessor of the hearts of two men, she plays her hardest hand

But her captor isn’t interested in play. Or pity. In Nora’s world, however, no one is ever truly powerless. Her friends and lovers will do anything to save her – even if the only certainty seems to be sacrifice and heartbreak. The stakes are high in a dangerous game of love, lust and passion

Nora plays Scheherazade to save her life, and any other book, I’d look askance at the blatant excuse for flashbacks, but here, it’s not even close to a problem. Nora trusts Søren and Kingsley with her life; I’d trust Tiffany Reisz with mine. (Well, my book life, anyway.) (Probably my real one too, tbh.)

Still amazing characters, and a very well written story! However, the mistakes with both the French and the Danish made me kind of fall out of the story instead of just enjoying myself.

The Mistress is the fourth and final installment of the Original Sinners series “The Red years”. If you haven’t read the first three books in the series, go read them. Now. With that said, make sure you make it back to The Mistress. This book is the best out of the four. In The Mistress we find that Nora has been kidnapped by an old enemy of Soren and Kingsley’s. Nora is Keeping herself alive by telling stories of her time with the three most important men in her life. Meanwhile, Wesley, Kingsley and Soren race to the rescue. Will everyone come out of this alive or will someone have to pay the ultimate sacrifice? So, would I recommend this book? Absolutely. Tiffany has a beautiful style of writing, even when Nora is cussing up a storm. I never fully appreciated all of her characters until i read The Mistress. I felt that i really connected with everyone of them. The Mistress is full of emotion. I love this series and I love this book.

This is a very hard review for me write. I literally just finished this book. I've read comments from others who were on one side or the other. They were either calling for blood because they were so upset at this book. There have also been people who have been yelling praises for how great this story was. I finally quit reading them because it was making it difficult to read, even though I never did see a single spoiler (thanks for that people).

There are two things I bothered me about this book. There are too many POVs. I don't think Grace and Laila really needed things told from their POV. I really think that the story would've been better if their story was told from someone else's POV. Second, there are some aspects to the ending, or really one part in particular that I didn't like. Other than those two things, I think it was a fairly good story, but not as good as I would expect after reading the first three books.

Here's the thing that gets me, why did Grace have Soren's baby? Why did Soren give in and have sex with her? She is not the first person who would've "sold their sole" to have one night with him. Did he somehow know that the reason Grace and Zach hadn't had a child yet was more on Zach and Grace and wanted to give them the child they wanted? That would be something I could see Soren doing. I don't see him having sex with anyone besides King or Nora for any other reason.

I will say that I was very happy for Wes, I think Laila is the right/better girl for him. It is also good for Laila, because I do think that Soren was going to prevent her from ever having sex if he could.
