“enjoy the spicy romance part of Salt Kiss”
I have conflicting feelings regarding Salt Kiss. I don't know where to start. I can say that Salt Kiss is definitely a spicy romance read. Like really spicy romance. All of my spicy romance readers and dark romance readers are going to love it. I literally devoured this book so much. But that's not my problem with this book.
While I enjoy the spicy romance part of Salt Kiss, my conflicted feelings regarding this book mainly focus on the characters actions. Let's start off with the two main characters at the beginning of the book.
Before going any further, I will say that this review will contain some spoilers. If you don't want any spoilers, then avoid reading any more of this review.
Why I Am Conflicted With These Main Characters:
-Tristan: Oh, sweet O'Tristan. My sweet old boy—well, my sweet, grown male. He is literally so sweet and adorable while he tries to recover from his PSTD. He never expected to fall in love with his boss, Mark, so I kind of forgive him when he discovers Mark's betrayal and starts falling for his fiancé, Isolde. I don't blame him. He loves Mark, so he takes a hit when he discovers that he is engaged to someone else. The angst of that betrayal leads him to a whole new perspective in Mark's world.
-Mark: I swear, goodness, I want to cause physical harm to you. You are literally the definition of a hole. Your behavior was so terrible. I don't understand why. And I don't want to either. You literally knew from the beginning who Tristan was, and you didn't care for his feelings at all. You truly knew that he would fall for you, but instead of taking that into account, You blinded him with your expected betrothal. And you act surprised that he falls for your fiancé, Isolde. Excuse me, but make it make sense.
-Isolde: I don't know how I feel about you. I understand your situation. No one wants to be in that situation where you are forced to get married. But you knew that Tristan had feelings for Mark, so why start something with him? That's very selfish to do. I have suspicious feelings that you have hidden motives and are being selfish. I don't like it. I especially don't like it that you are playing with Tristan's feelings.
Personally, I enjoyed Tristan more than Mark and Isolde. And that's terrible to say since this is the first in the trilogy. I don't know if I will continue reading the series. My conflicted feelings overwhelmed the joy that I had while I read the spicy romance parts.
