OH, MY WORLD! Can't believe I read this... should've been a DNF. My eyes sting... Just...
OK... So I saw the ridiculous cover and I ignored it. I read the blurb. "While overseeing a storm shelter, Jill rescues a gorgeous man stranded on the beach. Smitten with her; Jaiden fails to disclose a secret: his fins" Mermen
I liked the premise but unfortunately, it was a horrible trap I fell for and do regret. For starters, the book is written in a way that it's impossible to be immersed in. It so cheesy and naive that even being a PR it fails to make the fiction appealing or acceptable. Its ridiculous from beginning to end. The dialogues are so predictable and odd. It's like a really bad movie with low budget and lazy writing. It doesn't even make the effort to make characters rational. Even naive Disney scripts have more sense for there movies. GOD! And don't get me started with the romance... I hated it. The heroine sounded more like a clueless teenage girl! The guy was just the perfect robotic prince. Which didn't make it boring exactly but exceedingly cheesy. It's like someone who doesn't like romance made a book to sabotage romance, creating horrible one-dimensional characters, an awful sex scene, and an empty story. I'm not saying it's the case. But it feels like that... I can't stop... I have to finish this review! The Hero was practically drooling and kissing Jill's feet like a slave with no real motivation. Yes, Jill saved his ass... And that's his only reason. It's just painfully wrong. He praised her so much it sounded more creepy than romantic. And she's swoon away like in a second. The idea of a perfect male in this PNR/erotica is a robot that praises you, never contradicts you and has sex with you because you're amazing and perfect always. And is at your disposition as long as you accept he's a merman of course. Awful... Truly. I'm sorry... It's not romance. It was very bad porn. The story, the characters, the pace was all wrong! And I think the sex was the worst part of it... I will never erase the disgusting word phrasing of "WET POUCH" from my mind. It's stuck in my brain. It will haunt me till the end of my days. Ugh! So yes... I do not recommend this book. 1 Star, because it wasn't a DNF. I don't how... It just happened.
