Michael's Wings Series: Original Sinners #6.3 on 7 November 2017
Pages: 253
Griffin has just popped the question—yes, that question—and Michael doesn’t have an answer. He flees town for New Orleans to see his confidante and sometime-Domme, Mistress Nora. Will a weekend of beignets and beatings help him untangle his knotted-up heart?
Thus begins Michael's Wings, the eponymous novella that kicks off the latest entry in Tiffany Reisz's LAMBDA Literary Award-winning* Original Sinners series.
This companion collection to fan-favorite The Angel also contains six previously-published stories starring Mistress Nora's favorite angel and Griffin—his master, his true love, and the sexy-as-hell bane of Michael's existence.
Michael’s Wings… *sighs* I wish I had had the self control to read this selection of short novellas much slower. But that was simply impossible. The stories were all irresistible, and it made me so happy to be in the Orginal Sinners universe once more!
Stories:
All the stories in Michael’s Wings are set in the Original Sinners universe. If you know me at all, you know I absolutely love everything about the characters, the universe and the stories Reisz writes in this series. Each story brings something new to the table. A little quirk a character has. A different perspective on something that happened. A vulnerability that had been well hidden in the past. And, as always, the writing is absolutely amazing.
There are seven short stories in Michaels’ Wings, and they are all great. Of course, they’re all a little naughty. And they’re plenty hot. And spending some time with these incredible sinners is always a nice treat. No matter if I had a good week or a meh week, spending some time in this universe just makes things good all around.
If you’re new to Tiffany Reisz and her Original Sinners series, I think you should start with The Siren rather than with Michael’s Wings, as you might be a bit spoiled for the full series if you pick this one up first. If you’re already familiar with the Original Sinners but haven’t read this one yet, you should. Trust me! One-click it, and bask in the awesomeness.

Thanks for sharing! I’m curious about these now – and I need to read this author in general. 🙂

I seriously need to read something by Reisz! Do you see me enjoying her books, Lexxie?
I’m glad these short stories delivered. You can never go wrong with your favorite universe + sexy! 😉
I think you should at least try her, Nick. Start with The Siren, and see if that works for you. You might be slightly shocked, but I think the beautiful writing, plus the characters will still be able to draw you in.
I haven’t read this series yet, but I always love it when a favorite series gets a collection like this to add to what I know about the world and characters of the series.
And, yes, I have devoured books that I meant to read slowly and savor. 😉

well, to be fair, i don’t have much self control either. good books are like that right?
True. Good books are impossible to leave.
I have yet to try this author and I really need to make sure I mark down this series. Brilly review!
Oh my gosh, then you’re in for a treat, Melissa!

I have read her other works and actually own books one and two of this series. I need to get on it.
Oh yes, you do need to get on it, Kim. I’m pretty sure you’ll fall in love with all of the characters of the Original Sinners.
I loved The Night Mark and do want to read more from Reisz but I am not usually too much of a fan of erotica so I am a little nervous about this series. I am so glad you enjoyed these stories, Lexxie!
There’s so much more to this series than erotica, though, Carole. I would suggest you try the first book, and if that doesn’t work for you – don’t push on. However, the characters, the character development, the overall story – everything, really – is so well done. And you have already sampled Reisz’ writing, so you know she is awesome 😉
And to think I started it all, huh? LOL I stopped at The Saint, but not because I wasn’t liking it—I think you are aware The Original Sinners and its creator are one of my faves EVER!—just a matter of time and other commitments . . . *sigh* Anyway, I LOVE Griffin and he and Michael are such a pure pleasure to read!!!! I really want to read this badly <3
Oh wow! How in the world were you able to actually stop??? I want to go back and re-read the whole series, but that’s a time commitment I can’t take on right now. Griffin and Michael are swoon-worthy. And their story in here is beautiful <3 (see how tempting I can be?)
I don’t know, sometimes I really surprise/shock myself! And you are probably going to ruin me with all the one-clicks, my friend . . . Although in this case, the couple in question played their big part as well 😉
Sorry / not sorry :p

I really loved this one. Griff and Mick were my favorite couple in this series. So, several stories with the two of them was perfect for me. I agree that you at least need to read The Siren and The Angel before reading this book.
I loved Griff and Mick, too. But Nora is still my favorite character of all 🙂
