Bitter Burn

De: Sierra Simone

Narrado por: Oscar Reyes, Isabelle Ruther, Jacob Morgan

I think it’s important that you know this about me, that you understand this: I’m not sorry.

I’d do it again.

After my husband died eight years ago, I made vengeance my only purpose, my religion, my destiny. But to get to my enemy, I had to make myself like him. He had a kingdom of secrets? Then I would make an empire. He had blood on his hands? Then I would bathe in it.

But Tristan and Isolde changed everything. I hadn’t counted on wanting them, needing them; I hadn’t counted on how it felt to watch the two of them fall in love. I’d thought I had everything under control—I’d thought I was safe from my own long-dead heart. I’d never imagined that the wronged husband, the jealous king from my childhood fairy tales, would be played by none other than me.

It no longer matters what I used to believe. My enemy is ready to finish the game, and for the first time in eight years, I have pieces on the board I can’t afford to lose. I’ll burn the entire world to keep Tristan and Isolde safe, I’ll scorch the earth—but as any good assassin will tell you, fire will only get a man so far, because there’s always something left in the ashes. And for the three of us, it’s the cold, bitter bones of the truth: their story begins and ends with me.

And every story needs a villain....

Incredible

🩷This story! This author🩷 what an amazing end to the trilogy. Everything comes together in the end. However, the journey to get there had so many unbelievable twists and turns. The way the tragic story of Tristan and Isolde was changed to provide a HEA Miss Sierra Simone how do you do it? Mark, Mark, Mark how did you do this all? As we love New Camelot Lyonnesse is the flip side of that coin and just as amazing. Isolde, Tristan and Mark were a tangled web of what’s right and wrong. This weaves such a magical power of us. I cannot say enough about this. And the narrators were just as special as this story. Thank you Sierra for this gift of your words.

So incredibly hottttt

By far one of the best series I have listened to! The erotica is so spectacularly written. While I normally lean on the darker sides of smut, this was absolutely a book I would not only recommend to everyone but one I would listen to again!!! As a practitioner of BDSM and D/s in my everyday life, I have a huge appreciation for the accuracy in kink as well as the sensational way Mark cared so much for his pets. Safewords, check ins, aftercare, alllllllll the amazingness!!!!!

Mark is Home!

This book was 1000% worth staying up till 1am for - no regrets. 10/10 recommend. Sierra Simone gave us an epic conclusion to the Lyonesse series. Getting into Mark’s was everyrhinf I hoped it would be.

You will go through the all the emotions and the hangover is real!

Jacob Morgan, Oscar Reyes and Isabelle Ruther were amazing! 💛 Get this book on your TBL and into your ears! (After you listen to the first two of course)

FANTASTIC and BRILLIANT

Jacob Morgan as Mark is a dream in the audiobook. The emotion he brings to the character is truly unmatched. I'm usually a victim of my own ADHD and can't finish listening to a book if I also have the book (so I go read it fast and leave the audiobook unfinished) but in this case .. I considered it an insult to read it when I could be listening to Jacob Morgan. The story itself is already amazing and no one can write about kinky sex as eloquently as Sierra Simone. Calling this book smut is like calling Venus de Milo porn. Strongly recommend listening to afterword and the interview at the end.

Impeccable Final Chapter

The Lambs have waited an awfully long time for the final book in this story, and Sierra Simone - as usual - did not disappoint. Bitter Burn is spicy, angsty, action-packed, guilt-ridden, and all the things one expects from her incredible books. I devoured it on the edge of my seat!

Great Ending!

I wish this had been duet instead of dual. There are times listening to female portray male or vice versa takes away from the experience.

It starts out a bit slow but it gets so much better. I do LOVE Mark. Chapter 28 is just over the top, OH LA LA! Great series!

I also love the crossover story with Max, Ash and Greer.

At the end we get a Ryan Bell sighting!

Oh Mark!

Sierra knocked this one out of the park. It was so beautiful to finally get to see the inside of Mark. I never truly found him unrepentant or unfeeling. This book was so deep and emotional. Sierra really knows how to induce a horrible book hangover. And that cameo had me clutching my nonexistent pearls!

No Better Conclusion to Lyonesse

This is my favorite Jacob Morgan performance, hands down. Every line, every sigh, every whispered thought was perfect. I loved being in Mark's head. Isabelle Ruther is forever Isolde in my mind and, as a listener, it feels like such a gift to experience her reprise of this character, especially with how intense the arc is in this book. I think there is something very special about Oscar Reyes's portrayal of Tristan. The sincerity of it, the emotion; you can really grasp this hopeless romantic war hero who will kill to protect the people he loves. One of the best wrap ups to a series I've ever read. There were so many lose ends to tie off and Sierra handled it masterfully. I'm very happy with the conclusion.

Excellent storytelling

The story with all its unexpected twists was awesome! This was truly a page turner. I haven’t enjoyed a story this much in a long time.

Outstanding!

The plot is complex and riveting. The writing is exquisite. What a wild ride! I couldn’t put it down…and now I’m ready to read it again.
