About this listen

From number one Amazon best-selling author J.R. Rain and New York Times best-selling author H.P. Mallory comes the Midlife Mermaid series! A paranormal women's fiction novel!

Being a mermaid isn’t all it’s cracked up to be....

In the underwater kingdom of Corsica, mermaids are the property of mermen. We’re considered valuable as breeders until we reach our mid-30s, at which time we’re deemed no longer useful.

Good thing for me I’m 40, never had any children, and I’m a widow. So, I can basically live my life as I see fit.

Until my husband’s younger brother, Cullen, decides to make me his wife...one of seven.

Cullen has a mean streak a mile wide, and he’s always been obsessed with me—ever since we were young. Now that his older brother is out of the way, he recognizes his chance to finally possess me.

Only I’m the type of woman who won’t accept my fate so easily. No, I’m a fighter by nature, so when it’s decreed that I should marry Cullen, I do the only thing I can do.

I escape. To the land.

Once I reach the shore, I’m facing a whole new and terrifyingly unfamiliar world. Luckily I’ve got the siren’s song, which encourages humans to do whatever I want them to.

Except my song doesn’t work on one human male in particular: Sawyer Ray. And Sawyer just happens to be the one man I need, because I’m fairly certain someone has come after me....

Brilliant collaboration

Eva is a fourty year old widow sho a fled the sea to escape an arranged marriage. This is a ture fish out of water story as Eva learns about life on land and how to interact with people, while tring to keep what she is a secret. I look forward to seeing how her relationships develop as the story moves forward.
The narration is excellent
This is a brilliant collaboration between J.R. Rain, H.P. Mallory

Little Mermaid with a Darker Twist

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It reminded me of the Little Mermaid but there were much darker elements to the story. In this world, mermaids are the property of their male counterparts and have almost no rights. Eva is a 40 year old, recently widowed mermaid who finds herself in the unfortunate position of being forced into a marriage with a man who has little need or use for her except to own her. The night before her second marriage to this man, she makes her escape to the surface.

I enjoyed how this woman reclaimed her self-worth. Landing on her feet takes on a new meaning when she sheds her fins to walk into her new life. Despite being 40, her entire world was suddenly brand new and she had to learn to survive with the help of the friends she makes along the way.

The book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger so now I have a bit of a wait for the next book. I am looking forward to Eva's next adventures already!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
