A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rose Sutherland

Cozy? Check.
Fairytale retelling? Check.
This captivating sapphic historical tale offers a delightful blend of intrigue, slow-burning romance, and an immersive setting. You will be transported into a world of yearning, Gothic ambiance, and Celtic folklore, specifically a retelling of the Selkie Wife legend. The gradual development of the friends-to-lovers relationship adds depth and emotional resonance to the narrative.
While there may be moments of slower pacing, the satisfying conclusion more than compensates for any perceived lull. The overall effect is one of heartwarming positivity and contentment, leaving readers with a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Thank you, Penguin Random House Canada and NetGalley, for this ARC.
