Description

The first time I meet the devil, he knows my name. The second time I meet him, the truth becomes clear: Mark Trevena is to be my husband. No matter that we don't know each other. No matter that he's older than me; shameless and sinful; the owner of a secret club where the powerful come to play. My father has spoken, and I'll be the devil's bride the minute I graduate from college. Except my future husband has one condition for this arranged marriage: we have to pretend it's real. He'll teach me, he says. How to pretend to be his in pain and pleasure both. How to pretend to arch and writhe under his touch. But his lessons are teaching me something else entirely... ...that Mark Trevena wants me in a way that's not pretend at all. And no matter how I might fight it, the devil will have his due.

  • Salt In The Wound Book Review
Format: Kindle
Salt in the Wound by Sierra Simone is the prequel novella to the Lyonesse series, told from the POV of Isolde Laurence, the series’ main FMC. Sierra Simone is my all time favorite author. I’ve read her Priest series, and those books and audiobooks will always hold a special place in my heart. She has this unique power to weave a mystic veil of obscurity over her stories with her words. The way she layers her narratives, from the opening to the climax, feels like watching an expert baker create the most decadent cake. With just the right balance of mystery and playfulness, she keeps the reader captivated. Salt in the Wound is no different. The way she brings Isolde and Mark Trevena (the MMC) to life with her lyrical writing is breathtaking. It’s the perfect blend of kink, intrigue, and yearning, making this story feel like a delicious treat that I absolutely devoured. ... show more

  • Salt in the Wound
Format: Kindle
"Salt in the Wound" kicks off the Lyonesse series with a quick, fiery read that’s as seductive as it is intriguing. Centered around Isolde, the story offers a deep and compelling look into her character while still teasing the dark, enigmatic world of Lyonesse and the powerful figure of Mark who rules it. Sierra Simone’s writing is as spicy and addictive as ever, blending sensuality with a touch of mystery that leaves you eager for more. Isolde’s development shines in this installment, and I’m already looking forward to diving deeper into Mark’s secrets in the books to come. ... show more

  • fun read but rushed
Format: Kindle
Very 50 Shades of Grey vibes with equally poor logic. Writing was good, as in it was easy to follow and engaging but my god, the logic and motivation of the characters make absolutely no sense. The whole virginity schtick was the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while. Still, overall a good for a spicy preamble for what I assume to be a great spicy three way. ... show more

  • Very steamy and unique
Format: Kindle
It took me a while to fully process what was going on, and I'm still not sure I grasped all of it in terms of the uncle and father and motivations for this marriage to the main male character. But let's get into that later. Our main female character lost her mother to a car accident as a young girl and her distant banker father has raised her strictly and unaffectionately for the last few years. The story starts when she's 17. She's 17 and it's made clear she's attended some form of catholic school, but more extreme than what most of us imagine. Closer to a convent I think. And for an undisclosed reason (unless I somehow missed the explanation) she's trained to fight, hand to hand and with weapons, like and up and coming ninja by the nuns. She's devoted in every way to the Catholic church and determined to become a nun and pledge her life to the service of the church. All her youthful plans are ruined when surprise surprise, her dad has essentially bartered her off to a much older man, in a business and political deal. The much older man represents the opposite of life as a nun. He owns a kinky sex club, he's 14 years older, cold, hard, and devilish. He's agreed to marry this young girl after she graduates from college in 4 years...but during those 4 years he's negotiated to have access to her to prove to those around him that their relationship and eventual marriage is real. And in order to sell this relationship being real, she must play the part of his sub, at his club, since everyone knows that's his kink. And that's the premise. Tropes- Age gap Lessons for inexperienced heroine Virgin Forced proximity Billionaire Things to note- Triggers- This wasn't labeled as dark but it's definitely not light. Heavy religious tones, manipulation of innocent young girl by father, uncle and main male character, coercing an inexperienced, never been kissed, teenage girl to participate in BDSM kinks and a kink club using her religious beliefs and belief that she is sacrificing for God was uncomfortable at times for me. By the end of this story, I walked away rethinking what I thought about everything that happened and with the belief that the entire story was told by an unreliable narrator, in that the reality she perceived was entirely something else for the men around her. I'm curious about what will happen in the next book, although wary...I don't like the main male character. He's currently a villain in my eyes. Having said all that, this was an interesting and unique read. When you read as many books as I do, the ones that are different stand out. This one was different. ... show more
