“Women tend to fall in love with me when I take my clothes off.”



Oh, Kingsley, you can train me anytime! Kingsley is a talent scout, and Charlotte, this fire-breathing red-head caught his eye one night in his bar. He takes her home making her an offer she can’t refuse, because let’s face it Kingsley knows everything about you… One month to train under him, to meet a Dom who wants a submissive not afraid of fear
"Knowing him he’ll offer you a room in his rather impressive home and the freedom to come and go as you please as long as you are at his disposal three to five evenings a week. He’ll have a partner who is his sexual equal and you’ll have someone who is quite happy to make most or all of the decisions so you, for once in your life, won’t have to."

Super short read but it's just what I needed to get me all ready for The Prince (The Original Sinners, #3) by Tiffany Reisz , can’t wait to get my hands on more of this delicious naughtiness .

Submit....


Kingsley Edge is a Matchmaker with a difference. His clients have,
"...specific desires."





He's looking for a match for a very wealthy, attractive client....
"A dominant desires his submissive trust him enough to allow him to take her even when she is afraid."

*Who is this client???
*Will he be able to train the lady who has caught his eye???
*Will she be able to submit and meet the clients' kinky desires????





This exciting, erotically enhanced short story is delightful and gave more insight into the world Kinglsey reigns supreme in, "...his kinky little community." We also see Kingsley's caring side present itself; he eloquently explains the way things are in his world....and how fabulous that world is for those who choose to experience it. He's very sure of himself, content in his own skin and that is a very, very SEXY quality in a man.

I LOVED it and would like to see more of the strong submissive he trained so thoroughly..... ***wink wink*** Things got very, very HOT!!!!!! And Tiffany gave us a very nice little ending...

Thanks Rosalinda for advising me to read this before THE Prince.... I feel a much better connection to Kingsley's character after reading.... Submit to Desire.

♥ BR with my lovely, Deanna... think it was just the two of us for this one????

“I’m in love with all of me. I’m a very lovable pervert.”

Yes you are, oh King of Kink!! I adore you! I want to suck face with you and do other naughty things ! You make my hoo-ha quiver, you sexy half-Frenchmen!!

Deliciously, depraved short featuring Kingsley and his shiny black boots! Charlotte aka Charlie, was a real trooper and I love how she gave herself over to Kingsley! Again and again!

Pleas tell me there will be more...I need more!

Shoulder-length dark hair and olive skin, my Kingsley!

January, 2023

Starting the year with this Kingsley-centered novella is something I've done a couple of times, and it was great, so I decided to end 2022 with it.

Actually, I picked this for two reasons:
1. It's my favorite Original Sinners novella with my favorite Sinner.
2. It's a quick read, and I needed a quick read because I couldn't bear to lower my reading challenge goal once again.

Mostly the second reason, but the first one made me enjoy it.


February, 2020

This story keeps getting better with each read.

It's a damn shame it isn't longer.


January, 2019

A few years ago I picked this to be my first read of the year. It was a good decision, so I decided to do the same this year. Plus, a re-read was long overdue. I can't believe I let five years go by without reading this story about Charlie and Kingsley. It is unacceptable!

In case I didn't say it in the last... I don't know... day, Kingsley is my very favorite character in The Original Sinners series. How did that come about? Well, first The Angel piqued my interest, and it didn't take long after that for him to become my #1. The Prince set me up, and Submit to Desire knocked me down. That's why this story is special.

I'm happy to say I loved reading it this time as much as I did years ago. Perhaps even more. Meeting Kingsley through Charlie's eyes was a decadent, delicious treat as ever. Better than chocolate. It's a shame it didn't work out between them.


January, 2014
“Everything in moderation, ma chérie. Except orgasms.”

It's 2014, and I wanted to start this new year with something hot and kinky. (Last year I wasn't as lucky.) So, naturally, I decided to reread the novella starring my favorite French pervert:
“Kingsley Edge, CEO, Edge Enterprises. When destiny fails…”

It's no secret that Kingsley is my favorite Original Sinner. Actually, it's quite obvious. That is why this is my favorite novella is the series, and why I'm dying to read The King. But, let's not jump ahead.

Submit to Desire is about Charlie, who was at a bar trying to drown her past boring relationships in alcohol. And then she saw him.
“That is Kingsley Edge. And he is the opposite of boring. And if you three have any sense you’ll stay away from him.”
“What sense I had just took her panties off and laid down in front of him.”

She met him, and he proposed a "business arrangement". Of course, she accepted, because who would say no to Kingsley? Seriously?! And who would ever want to?

So he trained her. And what a training that was!

A perfect novella, this was. Just like the man himself. (But don't tell him that; he's arrogant enough as it is.)
“You’ve always been this bad?”
“Au contraire. I’ve always been this good.”

Kingsley, Kingsley, Kingsley, the things that come out of his mouth... Things like:
“I’m not arrogant. I’m French.”

“Women tend to fall in love with me when I take my clothes off.”

“I’m in love with all of me. I’m a very lovable pervert.”

“My god. I’m even more handsome than I thought.”

All that just makes me like him more.

À bientôt, monsieur. Bisous.

This was a good way to start the year, indeed.


May, 2013

Oh, Kingsley, I love you. And why wouldn't I? You're a very lovable pervert.

On re-read I'm raising rating! Not sure if it's a pure 5 stars, but close enough.

Now I'm moving on the first book of the series. Again. Hopefully, the story will pull me in this time :)

Third time around... Definitely 5 stars😍

I LOVE KINKY KINGSLEY!!!

*fans self*
Well Damn! What can I say?? It's Kingsley F%@king Edge!

This short story made me smile, and brought some laughs too!! This is a great addition to the Original Sinners series. One of the things i love about these characters is that they don't make any apologies for who they are, and they are completely comfortable with their kink. Kingsley is so much fun to read, after first meeting him in The Siren I just loved him. I also loved the surprise ending in this one, I sure didn't see that coming but I'm glad it did! :)

Quotes:

“Is there any particular reason why you dress like it’s the nineteenth century instead of the twenty-first?”
“There’s only one reason that matters,” he said as he escorted down to the main level of his home. “Because I can.”
-Charlotte and Kingsley

“You’re trying to get me to fuck you by calling me ‘sir,’ aren’t you? It will work. But not yet.”

(I'm still smiling)

Rating: A ... Heat: Sizzling

Charlotte is single. Once again. Her ex was nice... and boring. Charlotte doesn't know what exactly is missing, just that her desires are never fulfilled. And after a lifetime of always being in control and taking care of everyone else... maybe it's time for a change.

Enter Kingsley Edge. The complete opposite of nice and boring. With a reputation as the King of Kink, and an uncanny ability at knowing peoples desires, he has a proposition for Charlotte. He has a client, also unfulfilled in his sex life, looking for more out of a relationship. He believes Charlotte will be a perfect match for him. But said client is into kink, specifically D/s, so Charlotte will need some training.

And Kingsley is just the man to train her. Charlotte’s training showed a different side to him than we've seen previous in The Siren or Little Red Riding Crop. It was a quick peak at the man beneath. No less hard and dominant, but definitely more human. And, holy hotness, what he teaches Charlotte in a month’s time is titillating. Delectable. I will never look at hair brushes or flashlights the same again.

This was another fantastic novella in the Original Sinners world. So fantastic that I had to read it twice in one weekend. It is simply astounding (and electrifying) what Miz Reisz can do in such short amount of pages. The ending was perfect—and yet I hope it’s not the last we’ll see of Charlotte and Kingsley.

Favorite Quote:
"How bad is it?"
"Terrible. I barely left a mark on you. We'll have to rectify that."
"What do you call these?" She pointed to the bruises on her chest and shoulders.
"Just nibbles." Kingsley bit her wet neck.

Kingsley, Kingsley, Kingsley... what sense I had just took her panties off and laid down in front of you

I was not into Kingsley at all but after this short I am on my knees and on his feet... And... I hate you Charlotte, stop cutting his hair you slut! I need him to come to France so I can go and visit him :)

My favorite quotes:

"Are you a priest too?"
"Non. But I have a priest on speed dial if you need one"

"I wasn't born bilingual but that doesn't change the fact that it turns you on that I am. Oui?"

"Those of us in the lifestyle are too busy having very good sex to worry about the gender wars"

"When destiny fails..."

"God, you're arrogant"
"I'm not arrogant. I'm French"

"How bad is it?"
"Terrible. I barely left a mark on you. We'll have to rectify that"


"Women tend to fall in love with me when I take my clothes off"

"Your lovers have been vanilla. That's a tragedy"

"Thank God"
"You're welcome"


"I'm in love with all of me. I'm a very lovable pervert"

"My God. I'm even more handsome than I thought"

This was a wonderful look into gorgeous Frenchman, leader of the Underground Kingsley Edge.

Charlotte sees Kingsley in a club and is intrigued; who wouldn't be. King offers her a deal, train her for a month and she gets sold to a client. Hmmm, shall we play a game?

I love the short stories from Tiffany Reisz, she never fails to draw you into this world of The Original Sinners and does not disappoint. She does challenge you have you change your mind and question the "normal"as she does with this:

"Charlie, in this house the word slut is the highest compliment I can give. It means you are a person who owns her sexuality and is unafraid to experiment and open her mind and body to new experiences. I am a slut to."

Oh Kinglsey, you had me at Oui!

A nice, quick, erotic read with a happy ending. I listened to the Audible version and it was less than 2 hrs long. The narration was okay, but not great. I think i might have enjoyed it more with better narration. The blurb is pretty straightforward and tells you exactly what you're getting. The sex was hot. Not too dark, just a little kinky with some BDSM elements. Nothing shocking or too offensive. A good, entertaining read.

I am becoming more and more convinced that Kingsley is my very favorite sinner!

Submit to Desire is a short story about Kingsley training a new submissive, Charlotte aka Charlie, for one of his clients. Charlie is completely green when it comes to the world of kink so when Kingsley asks her to spend a month at his home she is nervous, but also very intrigued.

“You don’t have to be afraid of your fear, Charlie. You’re allowed to be afraid and like it.”
“Normal people aren’t supposed to like this stuff. Normal people aren’t supposed to enjoy being thrown down, tied up and practically raped.”
“My beautiful Charlie.” Kingsley kissed her slowly. “Perhaps it’s time to admit you aren’t normal people.”

This is another solid story that only further cemented my addiction to this series. I don't think I will ever get my fill.

I've been devouring everything else I can find that was written by Tiffany Reisz.

This is about Kingsley and Charlotte and OMG! The smut levels are off the charts!

He is arrogant, domineering and sexy as hell and I'd happily submit to him any day of the week!
I could have spent days reading about Kingsley and Charlotte.

I LOVE KINGSLEY EDGE!!!! What a spectacular character, the thought of him makes …

SUBMIT TO DESIRE thrilled me and excited me. I only wish there was more!

Well, this was a fun little read. It's been so long since I didn't want to punch an MC in the face, I've forgotten how it felt. I need more ladies like her in my books.
I really enjoyed this book and will be reading more from this author.

Also Kingsley is interestingly hot! I wonder if there are any more books with him in it. Hmmm...

I really liked this book and wished it was longer. Charlotte is single. Once again. Her ex was nice and boring all of them were. Kingsley Edge is anything but boring Charlotte thinks he is a pimp she knows that he is handsome and rich and the bartender at the club her and her friends are at tells her he is dangerous. After she comes to on the bar floor that her friends left her with Kingsley's foot on her back he makes Charlotte and offer to take her to his home. Kingsley offers her two months pay to train her to be a submissive for one of his clients although she is afraid she is also excited. The sex scenes in this book were hot Charlotte or Charlie has he calls her has never experienced anything like it she learns a lot about herself has he teaches her to learn to enjoy submitting to another. The ending of this book was a bit confusing to me other that this was a really short quick read that I liked and wanted more of.

A quick prequel to The Siren that explains how Kingsley met Charlotte and trained her to be a sub.

I like Kingsley SO much more when he's the Dom and not getting the life beaten out of him by Soren.

Submit to Desire ... or ... Desire to Submit ... now that is the real question! :)

Short and sweet HOTTTTTTT!!!

“Women tend to fall in love with me when I take my clothes off.”

Aaaahhh, Kingsley! You wonderfully overly-confident sexy, French pervert – how I love you!


Featuring the king of the kinky underground, this short novella tells the story of Kingsley finding and training a new submissive for a client. His training includes lots of practical experience, and all I can say is – Charlotte is one lucky bitch!

“You’re such an asshole. I can’t believe you’re digging around my past.”
“I intend to fuck you blind before you leave my home, Charlie. Is penetrating your past more intimate than penetrating your body?”

Entirely unapologetic and devastatingly sexy, Kingsley is at his arrogant best as he introduces a somewhat shy, but very intrigued Charlie into ‘the lifestyle’, and opens her eyes to sexy shenanigans beyond her wildest dreams.

“My feminist friends would kill me.”
“Those of us in the lifestyle are too busy having very good sex to worry about the gender wars.”

Set before the The Siren, it doesn’t tie into the overall storyline of The Original Sinners series, but is a great little extra for those who, like me, are having withdrawals from Tiffany Reisz’s fantastic characters. We even get a very brief glimpse of Nora and Soren.

A must read for fans of the series.

4 stars.

I bet you are sick of hearing of Tiffany from me? Oh, come on, just admit it, you are going “Enough already!”

Well, too bad. This woman has ruined me right and proper as far as mainstream BDSM romance goes. I would have never thought that a book series would consume me since the Fever Series. Well, it looks like I am wrong.

In this wicked little installment we get more of a taste of Kingsley. Now, I know we pretty much know that Kingsley swings both ways. Which wouldn’t it be hot to see him with a guy? That is, until you see him with Charlotte. By God I don’t think I can see Kingsley with anyone one else. The submission is beautiful, moving, and emotional. They connection that the two have is something that I can’t even begin to explain. I am convinced that these characters are alive and well someone because of how well that Tiffany writes them. If I don’t see Charlotte in any more Original Sinners books, I’m going to be just as upset as if I don’t see Big Brad Wolf in another book. I can’t honestly imagine Kingsley with anyone but Charlotte. I connected with her on multiple levels. It worked, it moved, and it made me WANT MORE, which is the most important thing of all.

If you haven’t dove into Tiffany Reisz, then you aren’t living!

Oh, Kingsley. He's remained just slightly on the cusp throughout this series for me. Desirable, charming and a little bit of a mystery... But in Submit to Desire we see him in a new light as the star of his own show.

Charlotte is tired of the boring nice guys, stumbling upon Kingsley Edge terrified and ignited her. A simple business arrangement, a month under his training and then the possibility for her use her training to good use. As Kingsley teaches her to submit it awakens a desire she never imagined lived within in.

Kingsley has my full attention now, he's been slowly gaining it for the last few books - but there is something that just catches your attention. The idea of this man, who is as soft as he can be hard; a man who longs for something he can't have... His seduction of Charlie was spectacular. I loved the concept of throwing a vanilla girl into the mix, after all these stories are meant to flame fantasy and the way Tiffany Reisz is able to tell a story, you can't help but wonder what you would do in in her shoes.

Now on to read more of our lovely switch.

Ah, Monsieur Edge – je t’adore.

Kingsley King of Kink Edge may well be my most favourite player in Queen Tiff’s deviant little underworld. In this spicy little short, he meets Charlie quite literally breathing fire in one of his clubs. He’s looking for a submissive to train for a ‘client’ and decides Charlie is the one and sets about educating her in his devilish ways for a month.

He gives her a highly appropriate safeword, dragon, and starts to educate her in the fear and trust of deep submission. They play some highly erotic games and how much did I long to be in Charlie’s stilettos? Kingsley even has his own version of a hidden object game!!

Kingsley – you totally rock my world. I love everything about him from the Rolls Royce to the dandy style from the way he rolls ‘Ma Cherie’ off that delicious French tongue to his gorgeous hair. Le sigh!

I have been dying for a story about Kingsley since I met him in The Siren. Admittedly that was only last night, but god he is just so devilishly handsome and charming, sexy and dangerous.
My only complaint is that I wish this was from his pov. I want into that head, I want to know what he is thinking behind all that ego and bravado. Still, now I am simply more in love with this sexy frenchman, who wouldn't be? Even he is..
I'm in love with all of me. I'm a very lovable pervert

Just a short little sexy read in the world of the original sinners, loved it.

Posted on Under the Covers

I’ve entered the world of Kingsley kink and now I don’t want to go back!

Tiffany Reisz gives readers a small reprieve as they impatiently await the next book in the Original Sinners series, THE ANGEL. In SUBMIT TO DESIRE, readers get a glimpse into Edge Enterprises where Kingsley Edge rules the underground world. Known as a talent scout, Kingsley has an eye that allows him to create matches between people with certain kinks.

In the opening paragraph, we meet Charlotte who embodies a fiery persona. That fire is displayed nicely by her red hair and also her talent as a firebreather. I have to say that I really loved Charlotte! She was flirty and fun, but also believable for a person who isn’t quite familiar with the world of kink. As Kingsley introduces her to this vast dark world, readers are plunged into it as well and they get a full dose of Kingsley Edge who does not hold back. There were so many great sex scenes in this book but my favorite one has to be the insertion scene. I had a huge grin on my face while read it. Once again, I am reminded of the inventive uses of everyday objects.

SUBMIT TO DESIRE thrilled me and excited me. I only wish there was more! Tiffany Reisz has me eating out of the palm of her hand. Will I ever be the same after this? I think not.

I really enjoyed this one. I knew what Kingsley was up to the whole time but the fact that Charlie didn't made it hilarious. In fact, this was a great story if you looking for something light and fun.

I really enjoy good safeword play. I really liked the scene were he carefully reminded her what to say before he took his hand away - because she was so scared I am not sure she would have remembered otherwise. And I don't usually like forcing someone to use a safeword to end a scene but that one worked because he kept things so light.

Kingsley can train me any day!

It's no secret that I love the work of Tiffany Reisz. As far as her cast of kinky characters goes, Kingsley is my favorite. He melts me with his unapologetic and unabashed kink. I know lots of readers adore Søren, but Kingsley is the man for me. This story was exactly exactly what I hoped for–a more in depth look at Kingsley and what makes him tick. I will say I had no idea what was coming at the end and I had to re-read it because I was so surprised!
Fantastic as always. Can't wait for The Angel.

A good quick read with the very sexy Kingsley from The Siren. Was good to learn a little more about the enigmatic and devilish Kingsley in this Novella. I did find it lacking in the certain unique POW that Tiffany Reisz instills in her novels. Still, it was a good read.
