Purchase options and add-ons
As a young mer in the palace guard, Lou had given his heart to sweet, noble Kyria. But he should never have let the princess lure him up to her rooms. Her stepmother, the reigning queen, caught them together and banished him.
Now he’s cursed to wander the drylands until he finds his true love—his soul mate. And after three hundred years, he’s still waiting. When he meets a human woman who shares his long lost love’s face and name, will he let himself fall for her, when he could lose her forever if she loves him back?
This second chances romance from the hero's point of view skillfully combines fairy tale, myth, and fantasy; adds a dash of heat; and tops it off with a happily ever after.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2018Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI enjoyed this story a lot. Poor Lou! Kicked out of Mer paradise and separated from his love for centuries, until... Don't want to spoil anything but suffice to say this is a fun, quick read with just the right amount of spice, and a happy ending for all concerned.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2019Format: KindleShort and adorable. A merman has been pining for the love he lost when he was banished from the sea by an evil queen. Now he runs a tourist mermaid school and when a woman who looks very like his lost love attends, he's smitten.
There's just enough of everything in this tiny story--world building, romance and mermaids. However, something had to give in a story this size and the characters aren't terribly vibrant. We don't learn much about the heroine in particular. But that's okay. If you're looking for a very quick read featuring mermaidy goodness in the wake of Aquaman, you won't be disappointed.
