Sometimes making the right choice comes with great sacrifice, and for Lance and Nora, there really is no other choice. Making the most of a night they never want to end, treasuring the seconds, minutes and hours, cherishing the memories. After all, everything happens for a reason; he was sent to her so that she can help him and in a way he helped her too.
The Last Good Knight Part V: The Last Good Knight is a beautifully sad ending to the series. Don't get me wrong, it's happy in a sense, we kinda knew all along, but it doesn't make it any easier to read. Truly an amazing addition to the Original Sinners world and as much as I swooned over Søren, welcomed Lance with open arms and fell in love with Nora all over again, I missed Kinsley. He was mentioned, but didn't get enough ink time. Luckily there is more to look forward to so this isn't goodbye just yet.
This story takes place three years before The Siren and two years after Nora left Søren.
"My knight and my protector.”

“You’re my knight in shining armor, Mistress.” Simone gave a playfully melodramatic sigh.
“I knew a knight once,” Nora said.“I’ve got nothing on him.”

5+ stars!
This was by far the best out of all the installments and a perfect ending that linked back to the beginning of part 1. This quote from Lance says it all:
"I have dreamed for two years about getting my daughter back. I have dreamed for sixteen years about finding the perfect woman for me. I find the perfect woman for me and find out how to get my daughter back, but...to get my daughter back, I have to give up the perfect woman."
Nora's always been my favorite heroine, but in this part her character truly shines - I got misty-eyed here. Though short, this series was just what I needed whilepatiently waiting for The Saint to be released.

What a way to end a novella series! I’ve enjoyed every part of this journey between Nora and Lance. This last installment was definitely the best!
I think any fans of the Original Sinners series will love these, and if you haven’t read The Original Sinners, I can’t recommend them enough!

“I have dreamed for two years about getting my daughter back. I have dreamed for sixteen years about finding the perfect woman for me. I find the perfect woman for me and find out how to get my daughter back, but... to get my daughter back, I have to give up the perfect woman.”Nora wants nothing more than to help Lance, but by doing so, she may be forced to lose him. I adored Lance. And Nora’s character shined brightly in this installment. She may be the funny, kinky dominatrix, but she is really just a woman with a huge heart.
I think any fans of the Original Sinners series will love these, and if you haven’t read The Original Sinners, I can’t recommend them enough!
Destiny doesn’t always play matchmaker. Sometimes it plays other games with us. Sometimes we win the game... Sometimes we lose.

The provocative tale concludes.... And WOW, what a fabulous conclusion... I LOVED it!
The Last Good Knight novella series is written with the usual flare and humour I have come to love and expect from Tiffany Reisz; each part becoming better and better until this, the final, wonderful, Part 5. I was completely and utterly with them in their world.
It's a story about destiny, selflessness and doing what's right...
Nora is so smart with not an ounce of selfishness in her. She’s giving and caring and sensible and probably the biggest thing for me is.... She’s a realist with a cracking sense of humour. I adore her.
And, Lance? Well he's deliciously perfect...
It made me cry, even though I know her destiny, I know how the main story goes... That's the beauty of The Original Sinners, it makes you feel things you didn't think possible.
My Lovely feelings for the WHOLE 5 PART NOVELLA series
The Last Good Knight is kinky, sexy, beautiful and in the end, quite an emotional tale.
We see Nora experiencing her world of being 'Mistress' and living her life in true delicious 'Nora style.'
We see glimpses of the relationship between Nora and Soren, a unique relationship that all fans of TOS LOVE, ADORE and long to read about.
***
Tiffany Reisz captivated me with yet another tale from The Original Sinners series. I will never tire of Nora’s voice, hearing her sarcasm, her wit, her sense of fun and irony, her strength. I will ALWAYS want more. And Tiffany Reisz has provided!!
If you're a fan DO NOT miss this story and if your not, and you like exceptionally written kinky stories with depth and personality, take a look at this series, it's of epic proportions!

The Original Sinners series information
The Last Good Knight is a complete story in itself but it contains one massive spoiler for the main series, a spoiler which you may or may not already know. With this in mind, in my opinion, The Siren should be experienced before anything else in The Original Sinners series...
My review of The Siren
***I devoured The Original Sinners series in the following order...
The 4 full length books are essential reading and the novellas, not to be missed, in my opinion.
It worked beautifully for me!
There are also free short stories on Tiffany Reisz's website that can be read around the series as desired.

"...this is something bigger than both of us."I loved this mini series. Each novella may have only been less than 30 pages but it is well written and if you loved Nora from The Original Sinners series than you won't be disappointed with the quality of these novellas.

5 "Surviving" Stars
Nora at her best, doing what is best for "Her Knight in Shining Armor," was extraordinary. Listening to all their options, Nora and Lance have come to a sad realization.
"One last good night?" Nora offered. It was all she had to give.
Nora and Lance's last night together is poignant and heartfelt. The love, yes the love that these 2 feel for one another is written with emotion and beauty. Nora's wants and desires, Lance's needs and desires, all wrapped up in their last night together. The story overflows with it and how they go about doing the right thing is flawless.
"A wise man once told me that destiny doesn't always play matchmaker," she said. "Sometimes it plays other games with us. Sometimes we win the game..." "Sometimes we lose."
Tiffany Reisz is one phenomenal writer. I loved The Last Good Knight Series. Each one had a little bit of a cliffy that fed perfectly into the next novella. TR never disappoints and always delivers a grand slam. I can hope and pray that she continues to gives us snippets of TOS players. Each one is special and unique and makes us want more and more. ♥♥

The inevitable conclusion to a VERY enjoyable serial by the talented Tiffany Reisz.
There is nothing else that could have happened with these characters, knowing what happens to Nora years later, but I still was happy to go along for the ride! Nora is sexy and confident, Lance is gallant and eager to please. The chemistry between the two of them was lovely, as it was in the rest of the serial.
Being the last installment, this episode had a "winding down" quality. It was nice to know how everything played out and I'm ready to go on my next adventure with Mistress Nora.

This final installment actually brought tears to my eyes. Nora is the BEST heroine ever!!
"I have dreamed for two years about getting my daughter back. I have dreamed for sixteen years about finding the perfect woman for me and find out how to get my daugther back, but...to get my daugther back, I have to give up the perfect woman."
They have one final night together...

***** 5 Miss Me Stars*****
This last book was exhilarating, the author definitely saved the best for last. I love that in the end, everything remained the same...
Nora takes Lance to her client's house, the important judge who she sees once a week for his foot fetish. The judge offers great help and brutally honest advise that will work to aid Lance get his daughter back. In order to stand a fighting chance he must cut ties completely with the kink underworld; this means, quit working for Kingsley and stop seeing Nora. This hurts them both tremendously but it must be done, but before they say goodbye the will spend one last night together. No words will be needed, just the erotic touch, the pain and the passion, enough of it all, to last them for a lifetime...
Nora is no stranger to any kind of pain, physical or emotional and she thrives on the feeling, nothing will stop her for being who she is or from taking what she wants. She shares herself with many but in reality, as much as she doesn't wish to admit it to herself or anybody else, she only belongs to one man...
Reading this book was such a treat, I loved every single part of the story. Tiffany Reisz's writing is completely enthralling, she made me fall in love with Lance just as Nora did, regardless of my devotion to Søren's character, this author can control all my emotions with her words and I'm always happy to oblige.

** Note- This review is for the series as a whole and will be posted for each 5 parts**
4.5 Stars!! Smutty good fun with Mistress Nora and a scrumptious ex-Navy SEAL!!
Once again I was taken with Tiffany Reisz’s writing and snickered and squirmed my way through The Last Good Knight. Nora, Nora, Nora…she takes center stage again and she never fails to amuse me with her snarky comments and commanding feisty attitude. But, I also enjoy seeing her tender side, which Lance really brought out in her. I loved the relationship that these two formed, in and out of the dungeon! If you’ve read The Original Sinners series then you know Nora’s destiny, but it’s fun to read about her adventures and the men she falls for along the way. She has a huge heart even though she rules with an iron whip! There is no doubt that Lance was a man, had the situation been different, that would have knelt before her forever.
As much as I love Nora, what made this read for me was the appearance of Soren! He’s a 10+ star character! He’s intoxicating and there’s something about him that just turns me inside out! I LOVE HIM!! Every time I read about him I want to shout…Halleluiah!! He makes me giddy with glee!! Even though Nora’s head says no to Soren her heart needs him, and when these two “play”, it’s explosive! It was fun going back in time with them and seeing where their relationship is at in this stage of the game.
I just wanted a smidge more in the end where it pertained to Lance and I was a little disappointed; I was smitten with his character and felt the need to know more. However, Tiffany Reisz has written about side characters in shorts of their own, so maybe, just maybe, we’ll hear about Lance again!
Behind all the kink, witty banter and sexy good fun, is a touching story about loss and heartache. I read in the author’s acknowledgements that the basis for this story is real life events. It made me contemplate about what I’d read and it also made me very sad. I hope that other readers think about this story too and understand that while it was an enjoyable fictional read, the circumstances that Lance was dealing with happens to people in real life. I’d say that Tiffany Reisz accomplished what she set out to do; give readers an entertaining story with some of our favorite characters and made a very valid point.
Tiffany Reisz is in a league of her own. No one can quite write erotic comedy with a rich complex story the way she does, and for that reason she’s one of my favorite authors and I worship her!
**One more thing before I go that I feel is worth a mention.** This is part of a serial series, which I’m normally not a fan of. HOWEVER, Tiffany Reisz is only charging $0.99 for each short, which for such an accomplished author is a steal, and is releasing them in 5 consecutive days. She’s also a generous author and has given readers many free juicy tidbits, which I appreciate very much. So, in my opinion…the price is right and she doesn’t leave us hanging, the story completes itself in 5 days. I do wish that eventually, and I’m sure she will, release these books as one complete novella.

3.5 STARS
Was it enjoyable? At certain points yes.
Was it necessary in The Original Series Compendium? Eh.
The fact that I'm giving this a 3 despite of what I've been reading this week may be a silver lining in my inability to fawn over this offering from Tiffany Reisz.
It was okay. I just found it a little pointless in the grand scheme of things. Because whatever conflict and reflections Nora may have had at this point in her life courtesy of Lance adds very little to what I know of her. I understand this was based from real-life events and I like that it calls to attention the prejudice good, honourable men like Lance suffer in society.
But the way this was made to fit in Nora's bigger story makes very little sense to me.

ARC received on behalf of Harlequin via Netgallery.
In the final installment, Lance is given the chance to get nearly everything he wants. Nora is the key to that, but in taking it, they will lose each other. How deep can you fall in just a matter of days? Nora and Lance are now having to face the reality that their time is up.
For those that have read the prior books, this is a fantastic addition to the experience. Think Daniel, but with Lance you get something more. I my head Nora is able to keep all the men that have captured a piece of her heart, they live happily together, each one giving and taking what they need. If you haven’t yet ventured into the series, reading this first won’t ruin anything – but I think you should read the series novels first. I think seeing her connections with Soren and Kingsley prepare you for these novellas. I am not sure if the same feelings would be there if I wasn’t already aware of the connection and relationship she has with Soren.
But no matter what order you find yourself reading the series, it is one that should not be missed.

**The Last Good Night provided by Harlequin via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**
5 Good Night & Good Bye Stars
If you've read The Original Sinners Series, you know Lance isn't a character in Nora's life after this short series. Lance provides some magic to Nora in TLGK, gives her feelings and emotions important to her growth. He's a romantic, a charmer, and a really good man. Smart, funny, matched perfectly sexually. But Lance lives life missing something incredibly important, more important than anything Nora can give him. We learn of this importance in the earlier installments. And in true Nora form with her big heart and her conscious (don't tell Soren) she gives it back to Lance. But not before spending one last good night in which Nora makes a big decision regarding herself and her feelings for Lance.
The Last Good Knight series excited me. It was fun and quick and reminded me why I love The Original Sinners so much. It excited me to read to The Saint releasing not long from now. Lance played an important part of Nora's growth as a character. And she gave him the greatest gift in return. It's a bittersweet love story leaving you both sad and happy yet fulfilled. I'm so thankful to have read it and through Ms. Reisz's brilliant story-telling for being reminded and excited all over again.

You know the inevitable conclusion to this tale, but it still makes your heart break and pitter patter when you get there.
Overall, a great serial and a fantastic added layer to Nora, Soren, Kingsley and their history. These characters truly feel like members of my real life.
"My dad said that there comes a time when what you want to do is the opposite of what you need to do. And the boys do what they want to do, but the men...the men do what they need to do."

I loved Lance and Nora was great.
I really can't stand Soren. Stop being a priest if you like kink, asshole(aren't Catholic priests supposed to be celibate?). He chose to be a priest and now he's breaking all the rules the Church has and all the vows he made when he became a priest.
Him being a Catholic priest is so creepy and it makes me think of all the priests accused of sexual abuse.
Why doesn't he just get a normal job where it doesn't matter what he enjoys in bed? No one would care that he's into bdsm if he weren't a priest.

Ahh my heart! What a way to end it. It was right.
I am sad I am done the whole series. It was an incredible ride.
The narration is ok she is a good Nora not so great with the male voices.

The finale to this lovely serial is fabulous. Ms. Reisz concludes another heartbreaking chapter in Nora's life. It explains so much, specifically the next chapter of Nora's life - life with Wesley. In this final part, the secondary plot with the attacked dominatrix is resolved. It is as Kingsley expected. All should be well with the world as the ban on sex between Nora and Lance is now lifted.
Ms. Reisz once again shows her writing ability through both dialog and action. No one said life is fair and Ms. Reisz does an excellent job of showing it.
“There’s no other way?” he [Lance] asked, looking up at the judge with imploring eyes.
“Son, I wish I could tell you something different. I wish I could tell you that there weren’t two sets of rules out there for rich, important people like me and normal people like you. I wish I could tell you there wasn’t a separate set of rules for men and women. I could tell you that but it would be a lie and you know it. And lying to you won’t help you get your [redacted] back.” (loc. 129-132)
While Nora and many of the characters do come across as those lacking morals and ethics, is this really the case? Because I don't agree. They do have a standard and one could say their standards are more meaningful. Will all the men please stand up?
“My dad said that there comes a time when what you want to do is the opposite of what you need to do. And the boys do what they want to do, but the men...” Lance stood up a little straighter. “The men do what they need to do.” (loc. 209-211)
Ms. Reisz's power in her writing is combining a clear image and then following up with emotion for a powerful one-two punch.
He [Lance] held her by her hips as he moved with long hard strokes that took him almost completely out of her before plunging back into her again. One more thrust and he climaxed, his hands gripping Nora’s hips with viselike force. She hoped he’d leave bruises on her, bruises on her body to match the one on her heart. (loc. 317-319)
I rubbed my chest when I read this part and I winced. Still, not all is doom and gloom. Ms. Reisz does throw in some erotic humour. This seems to be a game I'll need to try out.
Let’s go play a game of hide the dildo.” (loc. 373-374)
I'm not a fan of serials. This one is very well done and each part is well contained and packaged just right. Each one makes me want to read the next one. The final piece is satisfying and reminds me how much I enjoy Ms. Reisz's writing. When I read her author's note at the end of this part, it moves me even more. Well done, Ms. Reisz. Recommended for erotic readers who believe a happily for now only means the author is pausing before we can receive our happily ever after.

Ms. Reisz once again shows her writing ability through both dialog and action. No one said life is fair and Ms. Reisz does an excellent job of showing it.
“There’s no other way?” he [Lance] asked, looking up at the judge with imploring eyes.
“Son, I wish I could tell you something different. I wish I could tell you that there weren’t two sets of rules out there for rich, important people like me and normal people like you. I wish I could tell you there wasn’t a separate set of rules for men and women. I could tell you that but it would be a lie and you know it. And lying to you won’t help you get your [redacted] back.” (loc. 129-132)

For the ENTIRE Series.
Yes, that's right. My heart is on fire!!!
Tiffany has created a world filled with characters that have embedded themselves into my heart.
For Soren and Nora, together and apart, these two have topped the charts as my favorite couple and individuals.
I don't want to say much more about this but I was forewarned to have tissues in hand and unfortunately I did not.
Nora
There is nothing to think about; read this wonderful little series.
*** This series takes place 3 years before The Siren ***

What a perfect ending to this 5 part novella!
This book really had me in knots. As much as I knew the end was coming, it was still so bittersweet. The sacrifices that had to be made were truly the right thing to do. It almost made me teary eyed because I know things were so very real for both Lance and Nora their one last good night.
"Such is the nature of dreams. They only feel endless in the dream. By dawn they turn to dust."

In 2015, I started reading The Last Good Knight series by Tiffany Reisz. It was the first book that I read by her, and I instantly fell in love with the series. I have been putting off reading the last book in the series, The Last Good Night. I know the books are short, so I could have easily read it quickly, but I didn't want the series to end. I didn't want to say goodbye to these characters. However, one of my goals this year is to finish series that I've started, so I finally decided to read it. It was the perfect ending to the series.
I loved The Last Good Night. The reader got to see a completely new side of Nora. This book reinforced that she's not just a dom. She's also a caring, loving, kind, kickass woman who is willing to go above and beyond to do anything for those that she cares about. The thing that she goes out of her way to do made me cry. It was so sweet. In fact, a few parts made me cry, which is surprising for how short the book was. I was heartbroken by the ending. I didn't like which relationship she chose, although I do understand why it had to happen.
Tiffany Reisz wrote the perfect conclusion to a series. After finishing this series, she has become one of my favorite authors. I love how her writing style takes me into Nora's world, and makes me feel like I'm there, experiencing things with her. I loved this series so much I didn't want it to end. I can't wait to read The Original Sinners series, and learn more about Nora, Soren, and everyone else. I'll be so happy to be able to reconnect with these characters.

I liked it, didn’t love it.
It was a nice little novella, but definitely not my favorite from Reisz. I think my problem was Lance. He was nice, too nice almost. A true knight in a shining armor. I felt no chemistry between him and Nora and that’s why it was difficult for me to believe that Nora had some real feelings for him.
The main reason why I enjoyed reading this novella was because of Søren & Nora dynamics. It was interesting to see how they were, while they were broken up. What can I say, if it isn’t Kingsley & Nora & Søren, it ain’t doing it for me.
Now, even though I didn’t enjoy this as much as I hoped I would, it was still a nice addition to the Original Sinners anthology and a pleasant read when you need your Tiffany Reisz fix. ;)

Tiffany Reisz’s books are the top of any BDSM book I’ve ever read, and this isn't the exception. This book is pure kink from beginning to end, but I wouldn't expect less from a story of Nora Sutherlin.
Mistress Nora is The Queen of the Underground and she does what and who she wants.
“She wore black thigh-high boots decorated with dozen silver buckles, a red leather skirt, red corset, black jacket and a black top hat complete with red band”
In this story, Nora is enjoying her life as a dominatrix, especially when she meets Lance, a hot marine who is willing to be all she wants him to be, and all she doesn’t even know she wants or needs.
“But I do see a lady in this room, the most beautiful lady I’ve seen in a long time. She’s strong, smart and completely comfortable with who and what she is”
The connection between them is evident since the moment they met, and not only in the dungeon, but in every other way. He accepts what she is, what she does and all her needs. He wants to protect her and be with her forever, but the odds aren’t in their side.
There was this part I loved at the end of the book, when Nora and Lance were together, there was complete devotion to each other.
Of course, Nora is still affected by Søren, even though she finds out what she really wants for her life, she denies it anyway because søren is still a big part of her life and he is always in her thoughts and affects all her decisions. They still have each other, and nobody knows Nora better than Søren, and for better or worse, he gives her the answers she needed to help Lance. I adored every part of the book with Søren, when she goes looking for him, when he knew what was going in her mind, when they argued, they are all sign of their love to each other.
“Mine,” Søren said. “You are mine. That’s who you are”
Nora’s sense of humor isn’t missing in this book, she and her smart mouth cracked me up with every kinky joke, most of all if it’s full of irony.
What I liked the most of every part:
Part 1: The new lover of Nora is HOT and is the best male submissive ever!!
“I’m going to beat the shit out of you tonight and fuck you. And then probably fuck you again, and you call me a lady?”
Part 2: What she likes the most of Lance reminds her of Søren
“Søren alone has the same air of ‘this is me, take it or leave it’ that she’d seen in Lance”
Part 3: Nora can’t forget about Søren and I don’t think she will ever forget about him. The way he knows her and gets her naked in every level is perfection and true love.
“Tonight she needed to be his, needed to submit, needed to be the one on her knees”
Part 4: One of the things I love so much about Nora is that while she loves Søren endlessly, she can also love other men, and she fell for lance so fast and hard.
“You’re mine today”
Part 5: Every second Nora and Lance spent together.
“My property. My possession. My slave and servant. My knight and my protector.”

The thing I loved most about Nora throughout the whole Original Sinners series was her selflessness, her ability to put the needs of others before her own wishes. She did it with Zach, with Wesley, Daniel, and who knows who else... This time it was Lance.
After exchanging good kinky porn sites with Judge B, it became clear what Lance had to do to make sure had a chance of fighting for the custody of his daughter. It still pisses me off that we live in a world where watching kinky porn apparently makes you an unfit parent. But there are even more absurd things happening in my country, so I really shouldn't be surprised. Just appalled.
What Lance had to do, sadly, meant no Nora in his life. He was torn deciding what to do, but Nora knew what needed to be done, and made sure Lance knew it, too.
The part that came after that was so bittersweet. I cried and smiled at the same time. It was beautiful. And that is all I'll say about it...
In conclusion, The Last Good Knight was a wonderful addition to the series, and anyone who likes it even a little has to read this, too. Or else...

“I have to do what I need to do,” Lance said at last. “Even if it’s not what I want to do.”
“One last good night?” Nora offered. It was all she had to give.
Lance nodded instead of speaking.

Part 5 of The Last Good Knight made me want to cry. Rather than go into details of this one, let me just say that all 5 parts of this book were very nicely done.
Read it for the characters. Nora is spunky, flouncy, irreverent, and very sexy. Lance, oh what to say about Lance? I think that most women would be happy with a man like Lance. Of course, there is always Soren in the background as well.
Read it for the dialogue. I had this goofy smile on my face throughout the 5 parts of this book. Nora's sense of humor is second to none.
Read it for the sexy times, because there's lots of sexy times.
Read it while you are anxiously awaiting the release of The Saint.
Just read it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin MIRA for a review copy of this book.

Loved all of these novellas in The Last Good Knight series! Definitely a must read for fans of The Original Sinners series.

What the fuck?
I started crying at 65% and I can't freaking stop. I mean come on, over the course of just a few hours I fell completely in love with Lance and the hour before dawn was absolutely perfect. Again there were so many small details and single sentences that burst with emotion that I can't stop the ugly crying. I would quote them for you but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. But trust me, that scene at 65% was heartbreaking, breathtaking and utter beauty.
And in the end, Tiffany Reisz makes it once more absolutely okay that she unraveled me, made me cry ugly tears (yes, I still do) and broke my little black heart because that was how it was supposed to be and I love her for it.

The whole story deserves 5 stars!
The tender and sweet side of the love story between Nora and Lance comes to a beautiful close.

Complete Novella Series reviewed
I have an irrefutable love for Tiffany Reisz, it’s bound and locked in my heart and never wavers though it grows for every book she releases into my eagerly awaiting hands. Honestly, there’s no question that she is one of my all-time favourite Authors and the second I start reading a new book it feels like coming home or visiting with loved ones albeit kinky ones.
“You’re like a queen. You’re strong and fearless. Men serve you. They want to serve you. Hell, they should serve you. You don’t answer to anybody. You don’t apologize to anyone…”
I am in complete love with every single character Tiffany Reisz pens, a love that started years ago yet grows stronger as each has become a life-time friend to me. Yes, a few inspire a love-hate relationship, but ultimately every single one has a place in my heart and feel part of my reading life. I can never have or experience enough, of and with everyone, no matter how long or short a time we spend together.
“No man in his right mind would spurn your love and loyalty.”
Tiffany Reisz writes with intelligence, boundless knowledge and incredible humour and passion. It’s always flawless and quite simply perfection. Dipping in and out of Nora’s life in and around the Original Sinners series is quite simply one of the most satisfying things there is for a reader who has an unwavering love for a mistress who’s brave but vulnerable, feisty yet fair, passionate and sarcastically witty. Also, any time the magnificently commanding Søren enters a scene I read with a pounding heart and categorically melt into a submissive puddle on the floor. Søren; du er stjernerne i min Himmel!!!
“We hurt each other….It’s what we do. Hurt me. Trust that I can take it as well as I give it.”
This series plays out three years prior to The Siren, so please, if you haven’t yet read The Original Sinners series go pick it up, read it and be awed by the beauty of Tiffany Reisz. You truly won’t regret it! If you have indeed had the extreme pleasure of the Sinners you will relish this series! I HIGHLY recommend readers to read Tiffany Reisz’ books in the order she intended and I promise you will fall in love and experience a myriad of intense emotions with added passion and laughter.
So, The Last Good Knight comes in five serials which I devoured one after the other unable to put them down. We begin with Nora meeting Lance at the 8th Circle on her thirtieth birthday. A session interrupted spurs a journey that sees danger, heartbreak and profound loss. This visit with Nora was really quite emotional and I cried on and off, especially when we hit the crescendo of this trip down memory lane. So many elements of this series are not only poignant but quite thought provoking and incites so many emotions amongst the kink and funny laugh out loud banter and one-liners. There was no surprise to me that I fell in love with Lance, yet another brilliantly written character and I’m with Nora on this one….She truly showed her glorious and wonderful heart! I loved every single moment of this journey back to when, before it was……
“Sometimes we win the game… Sometimes we lose.”
