What I love most about The Mistress Files is not only are you getting a collection of short erotic stories, these stories are more than just erotica. Reisz does a beautiful job of blending the sexual with the emotion. I would even go so far as to say that the emotional aspect of the stories is what drives the sexuality of the stories. The different characters and their conflicts is what makes this book such an enjoyable read.As a fan of the series, this novella collection is an extra treat for me. Nora has become one of my favorite female characters and to read her exploits just gives me deeper insight into the person that she is. She tells her stories with the same brand of unapologetic, in your face, witty and sensual style that I love reading in the main books.Each novella in the book focuses on different characters with different issues regarding their sexuality. As much as sex is involved, the real issues are more psychological. I appreciate how the issue of shame and self-doubt are addressed and how Nora works to help her clients understand themselves and to own their sexuality. All of that is done without sounding like an after school special. You can’t help but feel the conviction in which Nora addresses these issues. For myself, it just made me fall in love with this character even more.Just as you would find in the main books, The Mistress Files is full of beautiful and fun writing that not only targets your kinky side of you but also your heart. These novellas are full of charismatic characters that you can’t help but like. This in turn is what makes the erotica aspect of the book stand out and enjoyable. If you are a fan of the series, this is just another fun side trip into the life of Mistress Nora. If you haven’t read any of the books of The Original Sinner series, this is a good taste of what you would get of what the main books are about. Either way, it’s a fun ride to take.
