I have no way of proving it to myself, of verifying it, but I can’t shake the feeling that this is really him, that this is the real Mark. Not the indolent devil of Lyonesse or the cold former killer, but the man who watches me eat with a possessive interest, who scolds me for bad chess moves, who can identify all the tiny, temporary wildflowers that crowd up around the gravestones.
It’s not that his eyes glitter less when he’s sprawled in a chair; it’s not that he’s any less ruthless. It’s just that it’s all there together, stirred up together, and it’s all completely fixated on me. Playful cruelty and utter possession, and I am at the center of it all.
Okayyyy spicy spicy and lots of drama.
There is arguably not a lot of plot but it’s definitely picking up, and I am excited to dig into the next!
“I like knives,” she says simply as she returns. Leave it to Mark to marry a little thing who says I like knives the same way most people say I like ice cream. “Don’t you?”

If there is one thing to know about Sierra Simone’s books, it’s that you are in for the most beautiful writing with the most beautifully heartbreaking characters.
Salt Kiss follows Mark, a man with mysterious intentions and the need to be in control, Tristan, Mark’s new bodyguard and his complex feelings around his life as a soldier and his new found desire for his boss, and Isolde, Mark’s wife to be and Tristan’s soon to be obsession.
The first half of the book we get to see Mark and Tristan’s relationship develop. From the start, we’re unsure of Mark’s true intentions but it becomes clear that Mark is more than meets the eye and his dynamic with Tristan is one that is not only hot, but about to be oh so complicated. When Tristan is sent to escort Isolde from Ireland to the states on Mark’s yacht, the moment he sees her, his obsession begins.
Isolde is still a force to reckon with, she didn’t ask for this life and is taking it with such grace. She knows what she’s getting into and I cannot wait to see where her story goes. Her connection with Tristan is immediate and when they give in? It’s everything you could want.
Everything about this is just perfect. It wouldn’t be a Sierra Simone book without a touch taboo and some delicious and unforgettable scenes.
