Salt Kiss
Salt Kiss | Sierra Simone
3 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Tristan Thomas is lost. After leaving the Army, the young former soldier is in limbo. Until, that is, he’s hired by Mark Trevena, the owner of Lyonesse—DC’s ultra-secret club—to be Mark’s new bodyguard. He’s drawn into Mark’s dark, seductive world of power and desire, and slowly drawn to Mark himself, even though Mark is everything Tristan knows he shouldn’t want: cruel and wicked and shamelessly amoral. But protecting Mark isn’t Tristan’s only duty: soon, Mark asks him to guard his soon-to-be bride as she travels home from Ireland on Mark’s yacht. Tristan is jealous—and hurt to learn that the object of his obsession is engaged—but the soldier in him is made to obey orders, and he goes to fetch Mark’s bride for him. Isolde Laurence is nothing like Tristan expected, however. Young, quiet, and sharp, she’s being pushed into this marriage by her family, and as the two travel back to America, Tristan finds himself fascinated with Isolde and the glimpses he gets of the lonely but determined woman behind her reserve. And the fascination is mutual: one night, while sailing under the cold stars, they share a searing kiss. From there, it’s a fast fall into the forbidden. But in Mark Trevena’s world, the fall is only the beginning… The Lyonesse trilogy is a queer, kinky contemporary retelling of the legend of Tristan and Isolde, set in the same world as the New Camelot series. Readers will not have to read New Camelot to enjoy Lyonesse, although readers who enjoyed New Camelot will find all the things they loved about the trilogy here: MMF ménage, plenty of the angsty forbidden, and a sweeping retelling of a familiar story.

👀 This was fan-yourself spicy, like, almost TOO spicy, but managed to carry it off with juuuust enough plot to get by. As a Tristan and Isolde retelling, it may be carrying it off? Mark is incredibly unlikeable, and Tristan just felt like a blank slate, although it also seemed like he was SUPPOSED to feel that way. I‘m glad I read the prequel first so I had a better handle on Isolde. Waiting for the second now…

I'm currently reading an ARC of the start to Sierra Simone's next trilogy. It's a modern re-telling of Tristan and Isolde with I think Mark, Tristan, and Isolde ending up together (Mark is not Tristan's blood uncle in this version, though that has not stopped Sierra Simone before). I highly recommend reading the prequel novella, Salt in the Wound, first. It's currently a free ebook. Sierra Simone is not afraid of the taboo.
