The Man For Her #5

Saving His Mermaid

Rate this book
Zach doesn't usually make a point of getting involved in other people's business.
But when he sees a woman being harassed on the street one night, his protective instinct drives him to act.
Meanwhile, Callie is grateful for the hot stranger who comes to her rescue.
As a curvy girl who works as a mermaid at a nautical-themed bar, she's used to scummy guys—what she's not used to are good guys like Zach.
And he seems truly perfect in every way: not only is he hot and protective, he also has a heart of gold, and wants the same things out of life that she does.
But can perfection like this last?
Or is their relationship inevitably headed for the rocks?

Dear Reader,
She might have a day job as a mythical sea creature, but the love in this story isn't make-believe. If you're craving a protective man, a curvy heroine, and a super sweet happily-ever-after, this hot little romance is for you!
xo,
Kate

Saving His Mermaid was an okay read.
It was really quick.
Zach and Callie fall in love real fast. Which is ironic since Callie is gun-shy when it comes to love after her stalker fiasco with Jared.
I thought it weird that after everything with Jared not once did it cross Callie's mind to go to the police...why? From the vibe I get with the story, they live in a small town. So I'm sure Jared knows everything about Callie. Like where she lives, works, and he obviously knew her number and kept harassing her to where she needed a new number.
For me it was just too fast to really develop much of a complete story.

Callie and Zach's Story . . .

Callie’s job as a mermaid at The Sea Shanty puts her around all kinds of people. But one night as she leaves work, she is accosted by her ex-boyfriend Jared who won’t leave her alone. Zach happens to be leaving work as well and hears a commotion which he takes a moment to investigate. She appreciates having him come to her rescue. It seems the two of them are already strongly attracted to each other. Is this the start of a new relationship for them? Is Zach as perfect as he seems? Will this unexpected opportunity lead them to a HEA?

The story is well-written and the easy way the two main characters fall for each other will put a smile on the reader’s face. Grab your copy and enjoy their sweet story.

Callie has a unique job. She is a mermaid at a bar. She has a whole dance/swim routine. One night when she is performing, one of the bar customers became obsessed with her. When she left work after her shift, she found him waiting for her. He refused to leave her alone and Callie was force to yell for help. Luckily, Zach who works in a nearby building was just leaving and came to her rescue. Zach can't forget about the pretty mermaid and goes to see her at the bar. Together the two become friends and more.

A short and steamy romance with a fun and unique story line. I enjoyed the mermaid aspect of the story where Callie uses her dance skills to perform in water as a mermaid. I also really enjoyed the descriptions of how she makes it happen and how she creates a realistic illusion under water. I also really liked Callie and Zach as a couple. They were both sweet and spicy together. There is a little bit of chaos to their budding relationship when an ex causes trouble for them but they pull through and give us a beautiful ending. Read this book and enjoy the journey of a mermaid and the man who saves her.

What a sweet romance! Callie works as a mermaid at The Sea Shanty. As she's leaving work, she's harassed by her ex. Zach is leaving work as well a few buildings down and hears her arguing with him so he goes to help. The attraction is instantaneous!

>i>“I knew you were the only mermaid for me.”

There's romance, steam, and sticky-sweet moments between the main characters. Four stars, I enjoyed reading it!

This book was so incredible! Zach works for a nonprofit and Callie works as a mermaid at a local bar. That was an interesting story in that I would have never thought of that but the idea is amazing. When they first meet, Zach has no idea what Callie does.
This author has quickly become one of my favorites. I have absolutely loved every book that I have read from her! I am so glad that I found her! If you have not read a Kate Hunt book, you should be!.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluptuary and honest review.

In this book meet Callie & Zach. Callie working in a bar as one of the mermaids. After leaving work one night her ex tries to take her but Zach seems to come from work and help. Zach would never leave a woman in need. One meeting was all it takes for him to know he wants to know more about her. Can they find a HEA or was this just be a one time thing?

Another great story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Siren song

Saving His Mermaid is the fifth book in The Man For Her series and is a wonderful read. This story is a lot of fun, quirky, sweet, deliciously sinfully sexy and filled with lots of love and romance, along with some sizzling hot chemistry. Callie works as a mermaid at a local bar and Zach works at the building next door. One night he is leaving work late when he finds a young woman being harassed so he steps in to help her out. Callie mesmerizes him with her siren song.....and some tail-flipping. I mean what man can resist a curvy and beautiful mermaid.

I thought that this was a really sweet book. Zach and Callie were great together. Callie doesn't need a man in her life but she wants Zach in hers. Zach is Callie's knight in shining armor and will is hooked on her as soon as he sees her. These two are really sweet together and they get a great HEA.

Callie (h) is a mermaid performer at a nautical bar and is used to being hit on by drunken customers. When she leaves the bar one evening, Zach (H) comes to her rescue when she's accosted by her stalkerish ex. It's instalove between the two in this sweet romantic quickie with a little angst and a side of steamy action.

This was a swoony heartwarming instalove story.
Zach is your typical alpha guy: sweet, protective and caring, mix that with some tattoos and you’re set. Callie is the girl next door.
Together they make the perfect couple combined with some drama from het ex, you have a lovely story to read.

Callie works as a professional mermaid and as soon as Zach sees her something changes for him. He falls hard and fast for the sweet and gentle woman and Callie falls just as hard. Instalove, sweet, steamy, romantic and safe with a sweet HEA😍😍😍😍 A bit OM drama but really insignificant 😉

Zach is lucky as he steps in to help as Callie is being harassed. When he looks into her eyes he knows she is special and discovers through their time together he wants more of her. Does she want the same?

Okay I give up

This is the 3rdnor 4th book I've read of this author. There won't be another.

The girls are either stupid or weak ... or both and the men are so soft in the seat of their pants ,it's unbelievable ... embarrassing, really.

This was a short, sweet, steamy but a great read. It was Zach and Callie’s story and their happily ever after. He definitely was the man for her

I found this short read very boring.....the plot was lacking and the spice was lacking. It's a very sweet love story but overall just not my cup of tea.

Exactly as advertised. Quick, spicy, insta-love. These are too short to have much of a plot but that really doesn’t matter here. Bonus half star for introducing me to the portmanteau “mervert”.
