3.5 Stars.

Notes:
I liked it.
A bit too 'Sweet' for me.
The situation with the rogue wasn't answered. Left hanging even though there was an epilogue.
Likable characters.
Fun, short, sweet story.
Some adult steamy scenes. One scene was super hot, one medium. Both could have been a bit more.
Only 1 editing error.
Well written with decent flow. Even though I found it just a tad boring.

I liked the story a lot. I mean, the story was short but it was good. The only thing i didn't like about the book was it felt like it was forced. I don't know but this story was definitely forced. But i still liked it a lot, i am going to read the book again.

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.… (mais)

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.

Please note: an electronic copy of this book was generously provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
