if the purpose of this prequel was to have me shaking in my boots (from both lust & anticipation), then we can consider it a smashing success 😂🤪

after the jaw dropping ending of Salt Kiss, we’re left with so many questions regarding Isolde and Mark’s relationship. told from her POV and set months before Mark and Tristan’s meeting, long Isolde and Tristan’s, Salt in the Wound is like an appetizer to the buffet that we can expect in Honey Cut. aside from the obvious question of, “is Mark aware of what happened on the boat?” we’re also scratching our heads over the dynamics of their engagement and feelings about one another, and while this certainly doesn’t answer everything, it does give us a much appreciated snippet of how this arrangement came to be. and in true Sierra Simone fashion, it’s tense, emotional and wrought with drool-worthy smut 🤭

this prequel was simply the best kind of tease & Im even more excited for more of these characters story.
