This book possessed me, but I was half way through it and realized I was trapped. The beginning is exactly the smutfest I knew was coming, but the latter half of this book is genuinely just plot. Which is fine, if not a little off putting considering you don’t see it coming until it’s too late. The rating is low because this book feels like it was purposefully chopped in half to sell more copies, and I have no way to access the book for the next month.
While not part of the American Princess series, there were references to it and the characters. In other words, having that back story isn’t necessary but ties in parts of this story.
Overall, it did feel like American Princess in a different setting. I’m all for a good why choose, but it felt so similar that it brought me out of the story. Though, I will admit the spice (both MM and MF) were top notch, and I did enjoy the troubled soldier turned bodyguard turned lover story. Some parts did seem to move a little slow, but I think that’s the nature of these books due to the heavy themes.
Of course, the surprise at the end will keep me going with the series. The author as excellent and keeping interest piqued!
(Side note: I started this book but had to put it down because I wasn't in the mood for something "heavy." While this book isn't of a deep, dark nature, it did technically take me longer than two days to complete it, as I tend to prefer lighter reads.)

As erotica goes, Salt Kiss stands out for its strong character development and compelling storyline. Compared to other books in the genre, it leans more toward a slow burn—which I found refreshing. While it certainly delivers on the spice once it gets going, the pacing gives readers time to invest in the emotional arcs first. That balance between plot and passion makes the experience feel richer and more grounded, rather than just a whirlwind of steamy scenes. I’m definitely intrigued to continue the series and see where the story goes next.
