About the author
Donna Grant
307 books4,771 followersDonna is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over a hundred novels. Her most popular series is the breathtaking Dark King (aka Dragon King) series featuring dragons, immortal Highlanders, and the Fae.
In addition to her novels, Donna has written short stories, novellas, and novelettes for digital-first and print release. She has been dubbed as giving the “paranormal genre a burst of fresh air” by the San Francisco Book Review. Her work has been hailed as having “deft plotting and expert characterization” by Publisher’s Weekly and “sizzling” by RT Book Reviews.
She has been recognized with awards from both bookseller and reader contests including the National Reader’s Choice Award, Booksellers Best Award, as well as the coveted K.I.S.S. Award from RT Book Reviews.
Donna travels often for various speaking engagements, conferences, and book signings. She is also a frequent workshop presenter at national conferences such as RT Book Lovers Convention and Thrillerfest, as well as local chapters.
Born and raised in Texas, she also has ties across the border in Louisiana. Growing up with two such vibrant cultures, her Cajun side of the family taught her the “spicy” side of life while her Texas roots gave her two-steppin’ and bareback riding. She is never far from her faithful 80 pound dog, Sisko, or her three cats. She can often be found at the movies or bookstore with her children. Or buying makeup. And shoes.

The basic idea was behind Mesmerized was interesting, a woman is being sacrifed to Poseidon and is bound and thrown off a cliff into the see only to be rescued by a gorgeous man who is a descendant of Poseidon... and unknown to her, her betrothed. His people, since they live on land, aren't quite merfolk but with their connection to the sea they are close.
Mesmerized ended up being more on the ok side, although I did like both of the leads, there were just too many detailed love scenes for this short a story. Don't get me wrong I do like some steam with my story, but I am not an erotic reader, so I like it better when the love scenes actually move the story forward. The first few couplings did do that but the last few didn't and I started skimming them to find out what happened next...

AMAZING
I LOVE EVERYBOOK I HAVE READ BY THIS AUTHOR. THE LEAD CHARACTERS ARE ALWAYS IN SYNC. THE STORYLINE OF THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING I HAVE READ. THE ADVENTURE IN THIS ONE IS INTRIGUING. THE VILLIAN WAS UNEXPECTED. THOSE THAT HIDE IN THE SHADOWS.

A good short story something totally different from what I normally read by Donna Grant. Interesting characters

Usually love ALL of her stories but this was more erotica than story. Had great potential for an all out novel and another series but it just never happened. It has good characters and was well written, too short.

Not bad, but I still don't understand why they were kidnapping the children to sacrifice them to thier own descendent. That wasn't made clear in this one. I know it is novella but come on, don't leave me hanging.
