Audio format
Soren never sounds like what I think he should. This is a quick listen that leaves you wanting more and more and more of Soren's POV since we so rarely get it delve into his mind. Father Stuart Ballard has a great rapport with Soren and supplies hilarious comic relief. If you like the Original Sinners you'll love this one.

Being a huge fan of The Amazingly talented Author Tiffany Reisz and her "The Original Sinners" series, I would do almost anything for a opportunity to read this book. I have a deep love for most of the characters in this series, especially "Father Marcus Stearns". I just know his confessions are as intriguing and delicious as he is. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that one day I will have the great privilege of reading those confessions of his!

I’m not an ephebophile, Stuart. If she were my age I’d be a much happier man. But she’s not. That doesn’t stop me from wanting her anymore than it’s stopped her from pursuing me.

Bunu okumak epey aydınlatıcı oldu :) Hala karar verebilmiş değilim gerçi Søren mi Nora mı? :D

Read The Confessions which included this novella.

[Pauline · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just love everything about this series and Tiffany Reisz as an author. I had the pleasure of meeting her right after The Siren came out and she is awesome. I hope this series never ends. Whether it is a full length book, or a shorter novella like this book...every single piece of the puzzle she adds to these characters adds something incredible and more insight into the lives and psyche of them.

Anytime with Soren & Eleanor is a great time. Two of my all time favourite characters. This was a short journey and reflection from a few moments in time. While I could see the value of Tiffanys confession I would have much rather completed the triad with Kingsley having his own confessional moment. I think Sorens long time trusted priest deserved to spend time with all 3 of them at least once in his lifetime ❤️

Tiffany Reisz.... Original Sinners... Need I say more??

absolutely loved it, just wish it had been longer.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

A satisfying novella detailing both Soren and Eleanor's confession to Soren's confessor, Father Ballard.

[Γιώτα Παπαδημακοπούλου · Rating 5 out of 5]

Έξυπνο, "εξομολογητικό" και άκρως αμαρτωλό. Λειτουργεί ως "σφηνάκι" μεν, αλλά προσφέρει μια άκρως διεισδυτική κι απολαυστική ματιά, στο μυαλό ενός ακόμα πιο απολαυστικού άντρα.

Ya la había leído, pero volverla a leerla me provocó muy buenos sentimientos. Se sintió bien volver a leer sobre estos personajes.

LOVED Father Ballard!!
Listened as part of The Confessions! :)

[Phyl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely loved it, if you're a fan there's should be no hesitating to reading this.

I love Soren. He is an intimidating force to be reckon with, he doesn't bow to anyone and people are willing to do anything for him or just to be close to him and his godlike presence. (I always refer to him as Soren not by his hated name)
I love that a 16 year old girl has brought him to his knees. He's being sexually pursued by her.

'I met Eleanor'
'Lovely name. I hope she's beautiful enough to warrant ruining your life over'
'She is'

Soren confession to Father Ballard is hilarious, the bantering between the two says a lot about their relationship.

'She's pursuing you'
'Like the proverbial hound of hell'

This explains so much about Eleanor. My favourite Eleanor moment is when she snuck into his office and masturbated on his desk. Tenacious and she has balls of steel.
How does Tiffany keep writing the stories even better than the last.

The Confession of Eleanor

Oh lord you will need holy water before you even begin this book. If it involves Eleanor you know it will be sacrilegious, unholy and you know she won't hold anything back it's not in her nature.
You will feel very dirty afterwards and will need a cleanse.

Father Ballard meets Eleanor

'Do I call you Eleanor? Or do you prefer Nora?
'I answer to both so you decide, What does he call me?'
'Eleanor'

I loved her confession to Father Ballard
'You're fun, I like you'
'No flirting, wicked girl, I know your type'
'I can't help it, I spread for Roman collars'

All of their interaction are pretty much like this. Fun, flirtatious and wicked.
She's a favourite character of mine, she's a lot of fun.

As always, TR doesn't disappoint. What an account! FAVORITE SERIES OF ALL TIME!

[Jen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved The Confessions! It was gritty, scandalous, and read in one sitting. Well, I guess that wasn't hard since it wasn't that many pages, but still had that Wow factor and witty humor that Mrs. Reisz puts in all her stories. I especially loved the Q & A after with Cindy (Beta reader). There was one thing that shocked the hell out of me, & I should be use to it having read all Mrs. Reisz short stories and books. Here it is, how in the HELL has the Original Sinners series remained off the NY Times Best Seller List! If it was up to me they would all be on there but to find out not one has baffled me!!!!! Regardless of who these F@ckwads are responsible for this travesty, The Original Sinners Series will always be on my best seller list!

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

As always Tiffany Reisz Never disappoints! The confession of Nora was almost more remarkable than Father Stearns! I love all these characters as if they were my family and friends! I am a cradle Catholic and I was so disturbed when I read The Siren and I swore I wouldn't read any more of her books! By the time The Angel came out I had time to reflect and I gave it a try with an open mind and I fell in love! No other book has touched me as much as this one did! I am a hopeless romantic and this book had it all. I have since read everything from The White and Red Years and everything in between.Tiffany 's writing has such depth and she really plays with your mind. I love her style of writing and I look forward to her new stories.

[Brenda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Marcus Stearns AKA Soren, has been a mystery, and God love us all, still really is. The Confessions gives us a slight insight into his mind about his precious and beloved Eleanor AKA Mistress Nora. And through the shroud of mystery we still love Soren and his totally dominant life and meaning. Yet, Eleanor holds the strings to his heart and always will. We knew that. This book explains how...hard...the battle was for him. Thank you again Tiffany Reisz for yet another chapter of our beloved series.

Just finished The Confessions.

The Confession of Marcus Stearns was as expected, riveting.

Read The Confessions for an insight to Nora as well as Tiffany.

Over a year ago, I added this to my TBR list - it was worth the wait!!! Love this 'peak' into his world and Nora's. And the look into Tiffany Reisz's head was AMAZING!!!

[Renate Jacobs · Rating 4 out of 5]

Absolutely awesome! I loved seeing more of a Marcus/Søren perspective on the story. Also, as always, Tiffany Reisz writes phenomenal dialogue.

[Maria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short but so very sweet. Soren and Eleanor... One of the best love stories ever ( plus the supporting cast) I can't get enough of these characters and am a bit sad they are 'in hiatus' .

[Claudia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Team Soren forever! I loved these confessions.
