What if the Little Mermaid found love with Bluebeard?
The Little Mermaid traded her Siren voice for legs, but gets betrayed by the man who she did it for. Desperate to escape her fate, she stands on top of a cliff only to be rescued by another lone soul, Bluebeard.
Bluebeard, who is also surrounded by a curse, is there to save Ariel and free her with a true love's kiss when she almost loses her life a second time by magic.
Excerpt: “Take me, make me yours, forever,” I said. Bluebeard groaned, and I could feel him throb under my touch. “I might not last for long. If I had known you had such a filthy mouth, I would have kissed you far sooner.” I laughed, the sound rough but melodious at the same time. I might never have my Siren song back, but all I really needed was here in front of me. “Now you can kiss me anytime you want for the rest of our lives,” I said. Bluebeard kissed me, and I moaned when his taste mingled with my arousal. He positioned at my entrance, and I moaned when he slowly pushed inside. I was wet enough, but it still stung a bit when he stretched me to take his girth. With a gasp, I broke the kiss so I could breathe through the pain. He was breathing heavily as he gave me inch after delicious inch.

ARC Review In this story we get two fairytales, The Little Mermaid and Bluebeard! I love the author's creativity to find a way for these characters to work together! The story is great, it's fleshed out more at the beginning with drama and emotions and the characters take quite awhile before they become romantically involved. The spice comes at the end of the story but this one was just so good, I'd love a full length novel about this couple, I think there was such a lot of emotional depth and interest with the curses and such that could really be looked at further. This is one of my favourite books by Leana.
I loved this short read way more than I thought I would (not a huge Little Mermaid fan - I do love Sabastian in the Disney version! 🫣 and I don’t know the story of Bluebeard 🫢) but I loved the mystery of the curses and the story behind them that affect the MCs and how they are able to help each other find what they have been missing and looking for. There is some romance, some spice and a twist on classic fairytales … what more could you want!
I now feel like I need to read the story of Bluebeard just to update myself on classic fairytales 🙂
Congratulations to Lilith Leana for her newest release!
This book is a retelling and mix of the tales about Bluebeard and The Little Mermaid. I think this was a wonderful match. I like it much more than the Disney version of TLM where she gets the Prince lol. If you want a sweet spicy erotica definitely give this one a try.
Such a cute pairing and finally an age gap. It doesn't matter because she's a 150-year-old siren!! Lilith turned the heartache from both original stories into a mixed story of love and finding your own HEA! I loved the nods to Ariels origin story as opposed to the well-known movie!
