About this ebook

Mermaids aren’t real...because if they are...they killed his parents.

At least that’s what Hudson Clark believes until an injured mermaid washes up on his yacht during a storm. The moment he uncovers a half-naked woman in a bed of seaweed and sees her eerie not quite human aquamarine eyes gazing up at him in pain, he’s drowning in her gaze. Learning the truth that mermaids are real...he knows he should hate this beautiful creature, should fear her, but all he wants to do is kiss her...and a whole lot more.



Talia wasn’t born a mermaid. Two years ago she’d been a human woman who’d fallen from her boat during a party and hit her head. But after agreeing to a bargain with the sea, she’s been cursed...with fins. The only light that pierces the dark depths of her watery world is the glimpses she steals on the surface of Hudson. Tall, dark and handsome, he fits every forbidden fantasy she has, because he’s human and she isn’t. After she seeks refuge on his yacht to escape sharks during a storm, she can’t resist staying away from him, can’t resist kissing him. What’s a mermaid to do when a human lures her out of the water and onto land?

Very short speedy read, personally the writing style wasn't my favourite. But the story was nice love at first sight vibes. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I was offered a copy of this little novella, and in an effort to inflate my numbers, I accepted. What a fun little story! To think that mermaids can be "turned", like vampires, is so crazy. Hudson was originally so worried about the age gap between them, that it was absurd. But, once assured that she was "legal", he was okay with it. So protective and loving. Ready to lose her entirely just to make sure that she would be happy… To find a love like that!

This was a touching tail of healing and rebirth (pun intended). The scenic descriptions were both breathtaking and intense, and the characters themselves were clearly visible via in physical form. Hudson, the MMC, had been struggling with the loss of his parents in a boating accident 6 years prior. Living his life, but not really enjoying the process. Talia, well she was something else. Transformed into a mermaid after a fatal accident 2 years ago, she longed for the life she lost, despite the pod that was her new family. These two lonely hearts encountered eachother when Talia washed aboard Hudson's yacht during a storm at sea. Shocked of course, Hudson had heard ramblings of mer-people from his Uncle Jason (who survived the shipwreck 6 years ago). How would his beliefs effect his treatment of the injured girl? Would they let their pasts interfere with their present? I received a gift copy of this book and voluntarily provide this review. Happy Reading Y'all 📚
