Mira and Andy
Giving 3 stars. Book wasn’t as realistic or exciting or riveting as I thought it would be. The mermaid part was fascinating to me because I’d always wanted to be one. But you never picture an aquatic creature in all the elements of this story. Andy was a very good supporting boyfriend then husband and father to Mira, Einstein and Marina. I wondered why Erica was fully human and not mermaid.

This was cute but had no real substance to really engage the reader. Everything just happened perfectly and there was no real conflict; it just felt shallow. I hope the author works more on their writing since their storylines are interesting.

Author did a wonderful story line with this book. Large print and small enough to get it read in one day. Altho it looks like a preteen book it has x-rated scenes.

This promises to be 'a shifter romance like no other!' but doesn't deliver on that at all - It's a mermaid romance - there are tonnes of those out there.
So we have our mermaid - Mira who's been kept a virtual prisoner by her over protective half sister. She encounters her first man, an architect building a house next door - falls in love with him, gets pregnant and ends up also fulfilling her final dream to become a rock-star.
What can I say? It is what it is - a super-trashy mermaid romance with a wish fulfilment plot, very little depth to the characters and hardly any emotional build whatsoever.
It's not without charm and I've seen far worse writing - there aren't too many glaring mistakes (although there are two instances where Andy - the hero's name is used and it should read Einstein, their son). I liked the children - the genius Einstein is interesting and things like his bubble magic are cool - would have liked to have seen this level of imagination in the rest of the story.
The romance is far too easy. The hero is boring - all he does is fall madly in love with our heroine and try and fulfil her wishes - there's no back story to him, no personality and no depth at all. He just blithely accepts she's a mermaid without any real kind of reaction. sex scenes are a bit clunky - but far from the worst out there.
This isn't so bad it's embarrassing, but it's not particularly great either. If you like mermaid romances and want a quick, light read, by all means check it out, but there are far better examples of the genre out there.

Love in and out of water
This book was fun to read the love they had was sweet and heart warming. Some time the sister did seem over bearing, but that was the way she showed her love. No danger of bad men trying to hurt them but loved them and keeper there secret. The children are to funny. Good read all around
