    About this audiobook

    A sexy, sleek-tailed monster.

    Zantu has evaded the mate-bond for thirty-five years, dodging promiscuous mermaids with vile intents. Unlike mermaids, mermen bond for life, and Zantu refuses to accept the heartbreak most mermen die of. That is, until the glint of gold catches his eye, and a simple salvage mission turns to passion. Now he's bonded to a human.

    A woman looking for a reason to live.

    Briana thinks her life is over after the loss of her child. Instead, she falls into the arms of a merman who is anything but cold-blooded. He's wild, seductive, and sets her blood on fire every time he touches her, and soon she begins to need him for more than his magic to breathe underwater. He might just give her a new purpose.

    But as dangers encroach from every side, Zantu must choose; keep his new mate at his side or keep her safe.

    Either way, he's sure he'll end up with a broken heart.

    Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, dangerous mermaids, and sexy merman secrets. Guaranteed HEA with no cliffhangers. Intended for mature audiences.

    Once upon a time I thought I wanted to be a biomedical engineer, but experimenting on lab rats doesn't always lead to a happily-ever-after. Now I blend my nerdy infatuation of science with character-driven romance to explore the ways in which love can be eternal and even monsters can find their mates.   When I'm not writing, I'll be in the garden or the kitchen, exploring Alaska with my husband, or preparing for the zombie apocalypse. I also love wine and hard apple cider, am mediocre at crochet, and have the cutest 12 pound bunny named Abigail. Interested in more about me?

    • 3/5
      A short but, definitely, spicy underwater escape! It could've been longer, or not. I still enjoyed reading it. Got side-tracked by other books but this is a good distraction from longer reads. Will defitenitely read the next ones.
    • 5/5
      The author narrations was great. Brianna and Zantu are such an adorable pair. So happy they had their happy ending
    • 4/5
      What a sweet story and I felt so sorry for Brianna! Married to a cold and uncaring man, she only wanted a baby. Desperate, and grief stricken, she sought to drown herself in the ocean. Only fate and a pair of green eyes from deep below the sea breathe life in her again. Once, she felt awe inspired in the ocean, and enjoyed seeing the fish and mer-people, but she could not sing or protect herself when jealous mermaids sought to kill her and take her mate. I liked that Zantu had saved Brianna, and after thirty-two years of fending off mermaids, it was a HUMAN that he had bounded with! Unable to leave her side for long, he found out that he could not protect from everything in the sea.
    • 2/5
      Brianna's world is over. She lost her baby and her marriage. She puts on weights and walks off a pier into the ocean wanting to end it all. What she did not plan on was entering a whole other world underwater. Merman Zantu finds her and breathes life back into her. Shortly thereafter, they fall into lust and mate. Brianna's life starts over in a new world with a new mate because when merman mate, they mate for life.Zantu has a hard time selecting a mate because all mermaids are greedy, manipulative, and leave mermen and their merchildren behind. Having recently witnessed this happen to his brother, he avoids mermaids even more, viewing them as predators. While treasure hunting, he comes across a human who needs rescued and breathes into her allowing her to breathe underwater. Saving her life forever changed his.I tried to like this book but it was irritating at times. Zantu calls Brianna "my little angelfish" redundantly and the sweeping concept that all mermaids are greedy and malicious did not add to the book. Furthermore, it felt like they were having sex every five pages and then they were telling each other that they love each other after only a brief amount of time. The final redundant part for me was how Zantu kept thinking about how females cannot be trusted because they will leave you. Yet Zantu left Brianna behind on more than one occasion! It was a novella and easy to read in one sitting. It is difficult to tell if this book was originally written with the intention of shorter length because it felt like a lot was left out. The plot holes seemed to be covered up by more sex scenes. Furthermore, there were big transformations that happened but were not explained how. It just did not feel like it flowed well, in my opinion. I am adding the second star because there was a lot of detail regarding the marine world. Not only with what it was supposed to physically look like, but how all of the marine creatures interacted. I would not recommend this book for those who dare bothered by explicit sex scenes, suicide attempts, infidelity, abandonment (particularly maternal abandonment), depression, violence, and coercion.
