This book is definitely classic Sierra Simone in full form. Just on steroids. With a little touch of magic. Her writing is always exquisite, but in this one? It’s a pure art form. I had to stop and marvel at so many passages most of my kindle is now highlighted. The prose is evocative, breathtaking, tortured poetry. Both Ms Simone and Mark are freaking wordsmiths, playing with our hearts and minds until we are but putty in their hands

Let me start by saying that I’m going to try not to spoil Salt Kiss and what happened. If that sounds vague, I’m trying not to share too many details. However, there are certain plotlines that are carried from the previous book so it’s just best if you’ve read it before reading this review.

With that out of the way, Honeycut started off with a bang but not in the way you might imagine as we’re learning more about Isolode. While the book focuses on Mark, Isolde, and Tristan, the first book felt like Tristan’s and this one feels like Isolde's. She’s such a complex character and the more we learned about her, the more complicated things got.

In learning the background of Isolde, the plot is also moving forward for both her, Tristan, and Mark as they’re all trying to figure out the best course of action for themselves. This is where Sierra Simone really shines because she’ll lead you one way before changing course and making you question everything you ever knew about these characters.

Of course, she brought her trademark steam and these scenes were extra hot. I feel like we all knew how these three were going to end up but honestly, some of the scenes had me blushing. I feel like that is Sierra Simone’s gift, though. She’s one of those authors who can have you blush with a spicy scene and then have you aghast over the plot on the next page.

If you’ve read Salt Kiss, then I feel like you’re going to enjoy Honeycut and it sets everything up for the final book in the series. As Sierra Simone said, the HEA is coming and truly, it couldn’t come fast enough.

Holy cow. This series. I read a prequel, the one before and this one. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's hard to find words to describe this title. It's hot, in all the best ways, but the vulnerabilities of the characters were what got me. I'm still thinking about it.

This book rocked me to the core. I loved the Priest series, and the first book Salt Kiss *chefs kiss*. But Miss Simone, may I bow before your throne! I wait with bated breath for the conclusion in the trilogy and… I don’t know what else to say. I loved it.

This book is overflowing with secrets, lies, cheating, and sexual tension. Mark and Isolde continue to be morally gray characters doing their best not to fall for each other. Tristan's puppy-dog sweetness nicely balances the two of them. The cliffhanger ending is very compelling.... I look forward to the next installment!
