Honey Cut

Lyonesse, Book 2

By: Sierra Simone

Narrated by: Oscar Reyes, Isabelle Ruther

I have one job in this arranged marriage, and that’s to seduce my husband.

It should be easy; I’m the heiress to a transatlantic fortune, bred and raised to make a good match. I’ve spent a lifetime building up my endurance, my discipline, my dedication to my god and my church. The danger lies in falling for the devil who put his ring on my finger—a mistake I made years ago, and can’t afford to make again.

There is one more danger: Tristan Thomas, former soldier and my new husband’s bodyguard. A hero who stole my heart with salt-soaked kisses on the sea.

But Lyonesse is not like other places, and this isn’t like other marriages. Soon Tristan, Mark, and I are tangled in a knot of vicious jealousy and gorgeous wickedness, where suspicion is an aphrodisiac, and secrets and vows are one and the same.

And there is something far darker at play than my real purpose, darker even than the twisted longings of my own heart. Because my husband has secrets of his own, and the reason he’ll stop at nothing to possess me could slice my soul deeper than the honeysuckle-hilted knife he gave me once upon a time.

Because when it comes to Mark Trevena and his games, the first cut is more than the deepest—it’s the sweetest. And he always leaves you begging for more…

Need More

I loved the first in the series, Iso sharing this one I struggled with at times. Just like the first in the series I do feel like I need more to their story though!! The ending I didn’t see coming!

Wow

These THREE books right here!!! I’m actually glad I read these three out of order - first Salt Kiss then the first .50 story —THEN this one—WOW!!! So much passion and then more PASSION!!! Oh yeah and of course a huge heaping of OBSESSION!!!! I Can’t wait for the next one!!! Please be from Mark’s POV!!!?????

the third wheel

it wasn't until this book that I discovered that Isolde is actually the third wheel when it comes to Mark's preferences Mark was married to a man Mark starts a relationship before they're married with a man and continues the relationship with a man. Mark even praises Tristan more. Tristan even admitted that Mark's been lying to her. I believe that regardless of what Mark says to her she will still always come in third place in his heart and that a man will always be his first thought when it comes to love and not a woman. 😒

So good

my flabbers are ghasted. I have read basically every single other book by Sierra, but this one i was waiting because I wanted to read the entire series together. I am blown away. I love how Sierra does retellings and this one was done so incredibly well. It may be my new favorite series from her and that feels illegal to say given how much I love the Bell Brothers.

Holy moly!

Holy moly!

What a book. I didn't think I was going to survive this one. And that ending? It wounded me. The story and these characters are enthralling. I was so sucked into this book from the second that I started reading. I literally don’t know how she does it every single time. I read a book by her and somehow, I’m always shocked and amazed by her immense talent! I did also listen to this on audio and I highly recommend it. Oscar Reyes and Isabelle Ruther did such a wonderful job bringing Tristan and Isolde to life.

I don’t want to, nor can I say too much more without giving anything away. If you’re looking for something unbelievably spicy and makes you beg for more when you’re done, then I highly recommend reading this book!
