A Midwinter Night's Dream by Tiffany Reisz
3.0
Reisz releases a short story set in her Original Sinners universe every Christmas, but this year she followed a plot bunny and wrote an 85 page novella. I'm not complaining! The main characters are reimagined in the Victorian era with Soren as a Baron, Kingsley his valet, and Nora his ward.
If you haven't read the main Original Sinners series don't bother with this - you'll need to get through the first four books or so to understand and appreciate what's going on here. The vibe is completely "what if", centering on what it would be like if Nora and Soren actually got married. It's fun, it's a good kind of silly, and it has a couple of hot sex scenes. Soren and Kingsley's bisexuality is discussed in an interesting way thanks to the setting. Reisz even takes a plot device I despise and makes it into something palpable.
Not bad for my first read of 2019.
