Synopsis:

In a world where humans don’t know mermaids exist, Mari leaves her home in the ocean to escape her mother, her betrothed, and her tribe’s expectations in order to make a go of independence on land. Chase, former Navy diver and self-appointed curmudgeon-who-isn’t-worthy-of-love, lost his brother in a freak diving accident and now fears the ocean he once loved.

When a hurricane threatens, they have to work together to save everything they've worked so hard to build. With Mari's betrothed on the rampage over a centuries-old vendetta, the storm isn't the worst thing they'll have to face.

Read an Excerpt:

Mari’s lower lip trembled and she rubbed her palms against her knees and looked back toward Inna. She was in trouble.

Big trouble.

Inna stood, unmoving, and staring at her. She reached to her throat, but words had dried on her tongue. She shook her head as tears sprang to her eyes. This couldn’t be happening. Not now. Not when she was finally getting Chase to relax. Not when she thought things were finally getting better. Not when she’d finally pushed her betrothal out of her mind, at least for the moment.

Mari looked from Chase to Inna, then back to Chase. What to do? What to say? The only way this situation could be worse was if Inna saw everything… Oh gods, how long had he been watching?

He’d kill them both.

“He’s been watching.” Had she spoken aloud, or was her mind screaming? She blinked away the tears and wiped away the trails on her cheeks. It felt like her frightened heart had expanded and she couldn’t breathe. Inna was going to kill them.

Chase jerked upright. “He couldn’t have seen anything inside the cart. It’s okay. He didn’t see anything.”

The setting sun streamed across the park, casting long shadows of rides onto the empty beach like an invading army of giant insects. Inna’s thick shadow moved swiftly along the ground. One thing was for sure, Inna had seen enough to be pissed.

He was headed directly for them.



GUEST POST with Author Kerry Adrienne:

My Favorite Book

Wow, to only pick one book is very difficult. I thought about this a while and decided that a book I must really love above all others is one that I re-read the most often. That book would have to be The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.

I read it first when I was maybe ten years old, and the Joad family reminded me of my grandparents even then. They were Depression-era folk, that was about the only comparison, but something about the way the Joads reused things and valued things reminded me a lot of what I saw in my grandparents. And the way they protected family, no matter what. I had never read a book that had drawn me in so deeply except Gone With the Wind and I felt like I was making that trek to California (which might as well have been Mars to this poor girl in the mountains of North Carolina), and I felt like I was in the migrant camps. Something about the way Steinbeck wrote (at the time I didn’t know, but later I realized he did many things very well—characterization and setting among them) captured me like no other writer. I love other books of his (East of Eden is probably my second favorite).

When I first saw the movie starring Henry Fonda, I loved it, mostly. Seeing what the desert and dust bowl looked like (at least in Hollywood’s vision) was interesting. Everything was so desolate and dirty. Yet life went on! People managed to live and even find happiness along the way.

I was disappointed that the movie had changed many things, especially the ending, but I was too young to really understand why other than that the book was so very long and that would make a really long movie if they tried to include everything from the novel.
The ending however, confused me. Why did they change that in the film? To me, even as a young child, the book’s ending was perfect. It was hope and new life in the middle of death and hardship. It was a rose among the thorns of life. Rose of Sharon. I got it and I thought it was beautiful. It had a tremendous influence on me. It was such a perfect example of theme being strong and perfect but not preachy. At least, I didn’t think it was preachy. I read later that some did think it was preachy later.

Other books that I would say are also my favorites are: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Stand, Childhood’s End, The City and the Stars, Neuromancer, and I could go on…

Blog Tour w/Review - Cherry Pie

Cherry Pie (Mercury Rising Book 1) by Samantha Kane     Date of Publication: September 16, 2014   Blurb:   You can go home again if you can get a foot in the door.   Mercury Rising, Book 1   A year after packing and moving from L.A. to Mercury, North Carolina, John Ford still hasn't adjusted to the heat. Or to life without his long-time partner. As he fixes up the old house he bought, the quiet becomes his only companion, and he's content with that—until a deep-voiced stranger plants himself under a tree across the street.   Eight years ago, Connor Meecham left someone behind in that house—himself. Now he's back to find the man he used to be, before drugs and prison sent his life careening off the tracks. But it's not his mother's face peering through the window any more. It's a man who seems as lost as Conn himself.   When John learns what the house—and the dying town—mean to Conn, he finds himself opening the door to his heart. Just

This is book #6, in the True North series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding of the series, and too avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this compelling series in order. Skye returns to the place she hates the most to help out the sister she always wanted.  When she gets there, tables have turned.  There is now danger if she pushes too far in finding her sister.  Who can she turn to? Benito AKA "Ben" is a blast from the past, who has always had a thing for Skye.  She was the one that got away, and he has no intentions of letting that happen again.  He also has to find her sister and solve his case. While this author is a definite auto purchase, she always brings the goods to the table.  In this story, we get a second chance romance with such heart and heat that every page is a sizzling delight!  I loved the banter, and was eagerly turning each page to get to the next.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***Th
