The controversial story before the story continues in the critically acclaimed and award-winning series The Original Sinners.

For years, Kingsley Edge warned Eleanor the day would come when she, the mistress of a well-respected Catholic priest, would have to run and hide. She always imagined if that day came she'd be running away with Søren. But instead, she's running from him.

Knowing Søren and Kingsley will their use their influence to bring her back, Eleanor alone, penniless and scared takes refuge at the one place the men in her life cannot follow: the abbey where her mother has taken orders. Behind the cloistered gates of the convent, Eleanor hides from the man she loves and hates in equal measure

She cannot, however, hide from her true nature. When Eleanor befriends a young virginal nun, she faces a startling sexual awakening. But Eleanor can't stay forever, and the lure of her real life beckons beyond the locked gates. But to follow her fate means to leave Kyrie behind, a sacrifice Eleanor refuses to make

The lure of the forbidden. The temptation to sin. The price of passion has never been higher, and Eleanor will have to pay it if she ever wants to go home again.


"It was a dark and stormy night...."

 It's 2015 and Søren, Nora & Kingsley have very important, life-changing 'business' to do in Scotland. That's where they are. In an old scottish castle.
(I'm not telling you what it is that they're going to do there - it would spoil too much ☺ - even though you can read it in the very beginning of the book!)

And that night, while King is running away from a Kilt-and-sex-addicted Juliette, he hides in the Priest's and Nora's bedroom. Where the three of them start to talk.

They talk about the THAT YEAR.
That horrible year when Nora left
Søren. And Kingsley - too afraid of what the Priest will do to him or Nora, leaves too. They were both gone for a year. And they never talked about that dark time before.
But now, because Nora accidentally told
Søren that she once had and affair with a nun, he wants to know what happened to his two loved ones back then. Even though it might hurt to hear it.

"I will never reach the end of you. Every time I think I've seen it all, you lead me to a hidden door and open it."

And so it begins....

2003.

We hear the story from both Nora and King's POV.

Nora has just aborted King's baby and, we don't know what happened, wether it was physical or with words, but
Søren hurt her pretty bad that morning. And so she decides to leave. Forever.

She also feels guilty for aborting a baby that Kingsley wanted more than anything in life.

Kingsley was more dark knight than white knight, but whatever his sins, he had one bright, pure and beautiful hope - that he would be a father someday.

So, she leaves. And she ends up in the 'Abbey of the Sisters of Saint Monica', where her mother is a nun. Because that's the only place where her Priest and her King could not get to her...

No Men Beyond This Point. No men allowed. Not even priests.
 

She's allowed to stay.
And that's where she meets Kyrie. A young, not-yet-nun, who falls in love with her. And who helps her decide what to do with the rest of her life.

And Kingsley....

He travels around the world for a while and ends up in Haiti.
Where he finally meets the woman of his dreams. Juliette.
But she's not free to love him and to be with him.



What will happen to the Priest & the King & Nora?
What will happen during that year that will change their futures forever?
Will everybody survive this book?
Will there be a Cliffhanger?


Nope - I'm not telling you anything!!!  ☺

I LOOOOVED "THE VIRGIN"!!!!

I was soooo HAPPY to find THE VIRGIN on my kindle weeeeks before the official release - I might have broken out into a spontaneous Carton-Banks-Dance!!!


I couldn't wait to get started ... I missed Nora, Søren and Kingsley.
Even though I'm horribly anti-religious - I'm a tiiiiiny bit of a groupie ☺


I was a bit scared at first - about the whole Nora & her lesbian experience thing. That's not really my thing. But Kyrie was such a cute girl and it was all so sweet and it all helped Nora so much with her life and her future. I loved Kyrie.

And I realllly loved how we finally hear about King & Juliette. Because I have to admit that Juliette wasn't really on my radar all that much in the previous books. She was always there, but somehow, for me, she was a bit in the way of a happy-ever-after for King & Nora & their Priest.
But now that we hear that story, we fall in love with her too, just like King did. And it was sooo adorable to read - the way he falls for her and wants to save her.

And of course all through the stories that Nora & King tell Søren, we are sooo sorry for the Priest too. Because whatever he did, and if he meant it or not - he's the one who's been left behind. All alone. The two people he loves most in the world gone. Maybe to never come back again.
I cried a lot while reading.



I wish this series would never end. Or that maybe somebody would make a TV-Show out of it, so that we could stare at Kings & Priests all day long ☺


IF YOU'VE LOVED THE SINNERS THROUGH THE LAST 6 BOOKS - YOU WILL DEFINITELY FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM ALL OVER AGAIN NOW! 


♥ WHAT AN AMAAAAAAAAZING STORY ♥


THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TIFFANY!!!!

Thank you for giving us this glimpse of past events, that were really needed to understand the whole thing!!!! ♥



and now PLEASE HURRY - I need to read THE QUEEN ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tiffany Reisz is the author of the highly acclaimed series The Original Sinners. Her first novel, THE SIREN, won the RT Editor's Choice Award for Best Erotic Romance of 2012. Slightly shameless, Tiffany dropped out of a conservative Southern seminary in order to pursue a career as a writer. This move, while possibly putting her eternal salvation in peril, has worked out better than she anticipated. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her boyfriend, author Andrew Shaffer.
