wow!
This was super hot, Ms. Simone doesn’t disappoint. I loved it, reminds me a little of the American Queen series. And a little about Priest. I can’t wait for the second part!

Sierra doesn’t disappoint with the spice that’s for sure. Not too much to say about the overall plot though. I fear the narrator of the audio killed this one for me.
If I could give this book 100/5 stars I would. This is a top read for me this month, maybe even this year.
If you've ever read, seen, or heard of the story of Tristan and Isolde, it may spoil a portion of the book for you HOWEVER, Sierra made this her own with the twist involving Tristan and Mark.
Tristan has just left the army and he doesn't know what to do with himself. He's not the same man he once was, but war will do that to you, right?
Everyone claims he's the hero, but hero's don't exist... or do they?
Mark is the head of the Lyonesse club (kink club btw) and he's got dark dark secrets, but being Tristan's new uncle-in-law, he offers him a job working as his personal body guard and Tristan's world goes topsy turvy.
Mark's one request of Tristan is to go pick up Isolde from Ireland and bring her back to him... but can he?
Just ugh, Sierra nailed it. NAILED IT.
What to expect:
- Kink
- Kink club
- MM
- MF
- Secrets
- Memories of war
- Broken Trust
- CLIFFHANGER - god damnit, lol!

I really enjoyed Tristan and being in his POV for this book; he's the most interesting character I think. And though I'm not necessarily feeling hooked on the overarching story quite yet, I will admit to being intrigued with where things are headed. As always Sierra Simone's writing is so beautiful and can pack an emotional punch.
The step uncle? The military? The trauma? A pov from a man? The spy themes? The Catholicism? Please, it’s too much. Pick a struggle
Being the first book of the Lyonesse series, it is a continuation of the Salt in the Wound. If you haven't read Salt in the Wound then when you begin this book, you will have no idea who Isolde is. This series follows Mark Travena, Tristan Thomas, and Isolde Lawrence who are all intermingled in the sexiest of ways. Mark is in an arrangement that he will marry Isolde even though she would prefer to be a Nun, Mark hires Tristan as his bodyguard and after a shootout, sends Tristan to collect Isolde from an estate in Ireland and spend three weeks on a yacht making its way back to New York.
The first half of this book sees Tristan and Mark beginning a working relationship together that quickly turns into a romantic one. We then find Tristan on the yacht with Isolde and they begin a friendship that quickly turns into a romantic relationship. Only for reality hits and they arrive in New York and Mark and Isolde are about to get married. They both have agreed that they are not going to tell Mark, then we find that there were cameras on the ship and Mark knows everything. The end leaves us thinking about what the heck is gonna happen next.
