5++ Stars!

Absolutely excellent. Basically, books like this are the reason I read. I loved it. Sierra Simone's writing is like the finest wine. Seductive and addictive. I cannot wait to see what awaits for Mark, Tristan, and Isolde. Sierra webs a story filled with intriguing characters, an excellent plot, and culture and history. Absolute perfection.

Do not sit on this series! A masterpiece!!

The beginning was a little bit slow to get into but once the spice kicked in I was in a chokehold! I wasn’t sure about the MMF trope but this was a great book to start exploring that trope. The smut in this book was hot hot hot, I’m looking forward to seeing how things play out between this trouple!

This was steamy, spicy, and everything in between. I wasn't the biggest fan of the New Camelot series by this author, but this one absolutely hooked me from the beginning. It had so much intrigue, tension, and overall wild plot line that I was never bored. The romance was woven in so well and this was a great story from beginning to end.

In true Sierra Simone fashion, Salt Kiss is a spicy dark romance that will leave you breathless! You will be rooting for the main characters, and hating them at the same time.

3.5 stars

Okay, first off... the smut was SO HOT in this book. 10/10.

But that's *all* this book is... There really isn't a plot outside of Tristan falling in love with his boss, then turning around and falling for his fiancee. There's an underlying element of cheating in this book which I didn't love, but I imagine that will be dealt with in the second book.

I'll definitely still continue on, but it wasn't an automatic win for me.

Damn this book was hot & one of the spiciest books I’ve read in a whileeeeee…

Tristan’s breeding kink vibes were something special 🤭 goddamn that man is hot.

So pretty much two virgins capture the attention of Mark Trevena, a sexy older man & owner of a sex club that’s filled with secrets. One is his bodyguard and the other is his future wife. Both have their own kinks & desires, but Jesus everyone is so hot in their own ways. Lord have mercy I don’t think im ready for book two eeeeeek.

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I love Sierra Simone's books and this book is no exception. While I do not think that Sierra Simone is great at making a plot make a lot of sense in a book, she excels at character building and creating a believable romance, which she did in this book. I cannot wait for the second one come out.

If Sierra writes it, I’m going to read it! I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it! I can’t wait for the next book in the series too

Salt Kiss was something i was really excited about when I heard it's coming out! As someone who has enjoyed Sierra's works in the past, this didn't dissappoint! If you're someone who loved queer romance with steam and spice, this is a book that's perfect for you!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for an honest reviews. All opinions are my own.

I have never been disappointed by anything Sierra Simone puts out. Her writing style and character development are top notch.

I LOVED this book and I cannot wait for honey cut to release!

I think this will be a unique series and I loved the couple mentions of Ash so far :)

I would like to thank Netgalley and Bloom Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Salt Kiss is the first book in the Lyonesse series by Sierra Simone. This book is preceded by a prequel, Salt in the Wound, which I highly recommend reading first. Salt Kiss is described as “A kinky MMF retelling of the Tristan and Isolde legend with age gaps, bodyguards, and antiheroes.” Tristan Thomas, a decorated war hero, was recently separated from the Army, lost in the grief and trauma of w, and in need a direction in his life. He accepted a position as bodyguard for Mark Trevena, the brother of his new stepmother, former CIA operative and owner of a Kink Club called Lyonesse. Mark, a devious Dominant, was dark and compelling. After weeks of falling under Mark’s spell, Tristan was devastated when Mark tasked him with collecting his bride to be, Isolde Laurence, from Ireland. Isolde turned out to be nothing like Tristan expected, a young woman who had been pushed into an arranged marriage by her family. He found himself in love with both the husband and the wife. He was thrust into the lives of Mark and Isolde for a reason, which is unclear. This book was amazing, a spin-off of the New Camelot series by this author and a favorite of mine. Tristan is honorable and pure, though burdened by his own demons. Mark is his opposite in almost every way, a true anti-hero. He has secrets and demons of his own. Isolde, like Mark, had been trained to operate in the shadows. It isn’t clear what she has done, but whatever it was happened in service to the Catholic Church. She is a complex character that I hope to understand better in the next book. Tristan is the one who I feel for, as he seems to be an unwitting pawn in the greater game. I cannot say any more without giving away the entire book, but if you like dark romance, then you will love this series. Sierra Simone’s writing is superb and very spicy. This story evoked so many emotions from me, and I was riveted from the first page. Readers should definitely start with the prequel. I initially started Salt Kiss without reading it, but found that it gave me some much needed insight for this book. I am desperate to begin Honey Cut as soon as possible, which is always an indication that a book is good. I hope you will check it out.

I forgot to write a review but this one was good! I have read a few other books by Sierra Simone and this one did not disappoint. I appreciated the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy and can’t wait to continue this series!

If you love a spicy book, this book is 100% for you! Sierra Simone is an author for all spicy book lovers and a staple for spicy shelves. This book has it all and is worth the read. 4.5 stars.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the free copy of Salt Kiss by Sierra Simone for my honest review.

SALT KISS was another great Sierra Simone story, with scorching scenes and compelling characters. Really enjoyed this one and will keep reading anything this author releases.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bloom Books for the opportunity to read and review SALT KISS.

I wasn’t entirely such what I would be getting into while reading this book, however it ended up being pretty much exactly what the blurb stated, which was fine, but I expected a bit more?

I was sort of disappointed in the development of the relationships. It makes sense that the second book will dive into these deeper, but I definitely wanted a bit more stability between the dynamics - especially Isolde. Possibly having different POVs could have helped with this. Mark was just sort of mean and I still don’t believe in the dynamics of Mark/Tristan and Tristan/Isolde.

That being said, Simone is an expert at delivering spice and Salt Kiss was no exception. Again, not 100% my kind of spice, but it’s crafted in a way that you just can’t look away.

Overall, I totally see the appeal of this book, it just wasn’t ultimately for me. It will work for a lot people and I can definitely see myself recommending this to other readers.

holy MM ... switcharoooooo

and so the nun was forced to marry the sex club operator...

that same operator who fell in love with his bodyguard...

that same body guard who fell in love with the nun...

lord have mercy on us all this was good.
I have no words!


i dont even know which couple or thruple i am rooting for here.. I vote for all!

It took me a little bit to get into the book, but one I did, I couldn’t stop reading!

I can’t wait for the next one to be released!

I don't remember when I discovered Sierra Simone but I'm so glad I did. I love a fun taboo writer. This is a spin-off, and I am patiently awaiting book 2 of this new series!

I read Salt in the Wound before this and I was so intrigued to see where the story would go. I adore the first half of this and found myself always wanting to read on. But once I passed the half way mark some of the fizz just seemed to go for me. It was a good read and I adore Sierra Simones writing. I will still be on the look out for the next book in the series.
