When a strange Nerei carries an unconscious and badly injured Bas in from the Aegean Sea, Nik knows she must get him to an island in the Atlantic where a hidden spring of healing water will restore her Nerei (merman) lover.
At the same time, her adoptive father is dying from a boating accident in her home town of Tarpon Springs, and he’s asking for her. While battling a strange illness which antibiotics won’t cure, Nik must figure out a way to save Bas and get home to help her father. When Bas follows Nik to Florida, he is forced to keep his distance from her.
He has already escaped one death sentence for having a relationship with a human and he can’t risk another one. Still, he’s furious when Nik turns to her old friend, a mage Bas dislikes, to help her unravel the hidden truth behind her father’s accident.
Water Desires is Book II in the Love’s Siren Song Series. The thrilling sequel to the award-winning Water Dreams will drag you under and not let you up for air until the end. If you like mermaids, mages and magical romance, you’ll love this book.
This is the sequel to "Water Dreams". At the end of the first book I was curious on whether Bas and Nik would manage to be together despite all the obstacles against them and I really wanted to find out the secrets of Nik's origins. This sequel is almost like a Romeo & Juliette forbidden love story between a human and a Nerei (merman). However, it is so much more that just romance. There is a lot of action with a villain out to get them. The suspense was so high that it got me to read until very late at night as I simply couldn't put the book down! I really enjoyed this one and out of all the books from Katherine Eddinger Smits I read, this was my favourite. I wanted to thank the author for gifting me this book to get an honest review and I hope there will be more stories to follow with these characters

This is a great follow up to water dreams. There is tragedy, intense moments and love. So the story continues with Nik trying to deal with being a hybrid. She doesn't make it easy for anyone. I felt sorry for her at some moments and others I hated her. However, she has to deal with a lot of things. She deals with losing loved ones, resentment of a mother, crazy mermaids who are human haters. Nik is strong, and determined to do things her way and figure herself out. She has love with Has and that is strong, but is it strong enough to help her realize who she really is? You have to read it to find out. Great book!!!
