Book Blurb

Matty Ramiro is having his happily-ever-after with his mer prince, Aldis. It's like a fairy tale, only with awesome sex. What's not like a fairy tale, is the fact that Haelen, the mer in love with Aldis and who would love to see Matty dead in the water, is still out to get his head. It makes having sex in the water a little less romantic.

 

Aldis will put his spear into anything and anyone who dares to harm his mate. When Haelen get's the king involved, the one man with the power to send a small army to Matty's beach home and drag him into the water, Aldis is barely in time to stop them from taking his mate away. There have been too many close calls, and to keep Matty safe, Aldis might have to make the hard decision to leave him behind forever. Not that Matty would allow it...

 

Book Review

Matty and his sea prince, Aldis, are back in this second installment and they face more problems with Aldis’s former best friend, Haelen, who is trying to kill Matty - all because Haelen loves Aldis and wants him for himself. But there are other issues for the two men as well: from Aldis not being able to provide financially for Matty all the way to Matty feeling bad about “stealing” Aldis away from the ocean, his family, and his other friends. One thing is sure though: these two men love each other deeply and whatever happens, they need to stay together.

Matty loves Aldis deeply, but he is also worried he’s taking his lover away from his heritage and the ocean. The idea of separating for any reason scares Matty even more, so he struggles through dealing with all his insecurities. Matty also has to deal with the fact that Aldis wants to take care of him completely – leaving Matty to feel a little less than an equal partner. But Matty will not accept that, and I loved how he stands up for himself despite the odds. His courage in facing the mermen who come after Aldis is remarkable and goes to prove the strength of his love for Aldis – not that I had any doubts.

Aldis knows exactly what he gave up when he changed Matty into a mer to save his life, and he has no regrets. He is determined to make Haelen give up on his ridiculous plan for them to be together, and he is equally certain he will find a way to help provide for Matty now that they are together. Even when his father sends a group of warriors to drag him back into the sea, Aldis is not willing to change his mind. He thinks he has a plan, but when it comes right down to it, the solution is not what he expected it to be.

If you like mermen and want to see one deal with living in the human world, if you want to know how Matty and Aldis are doing now that they have decided they belong together, and if you’re looking for a read that is all about lovers fighting for the right to be together, a few almost assassinations, and lots and lots of merman on human action, then you will probably like this novella.
