Lords of the Abyss Book 6

The Merman King

Nicola Sarah Brooks

Lucius is king of the Merr of Atlantes. But with the Olympians making a grab for power, all is not well. When he makes himself the guinea pig in an experiement to let the Mer move into the open air, he saves Olivette as she is thrown overboard after a government official gets too handsay and she fights him off.

When Olivette awakens in Lucius home she is understandably confused. She just wants to go home but Lucius is doing all he can to make her feel at home, including getting more of her "gowns" made (read sexy Mrs Claus outfit in many colours LOL), 

Lucius and Olivette are a great match, even when she doesn't see what he sees in a failed florist. I loved the way the story tied up all the loose ends and really meant that the Mer HAD to move on from their life under the dome. Fab ending to the series!

Futuristic Romance A girl with a mission... Agent Ulyssa Payne is on a mission. It's her job to make sure the Medical Mafia leader doesn't leave the planet of Qurilixen. But, when her target is killed by his own daughter, her mission is over. Now, she's stuck on a barbarian planet for three months until the Agency comes to get her. Getting kidnapped by King Attor, she's left in the Var harem to await his return. But, when the King dies in battle and doesn't come for her, she's stuck dealing with his son, the new savage King of the Var. This is one complication Ulyssa didn't need. A royal complication... The Var Princes were raised by a hard man who put no stock in love-especially love with one woman. Bred to never take a life mate, these men will do everything in their power to live up to the dead King Attor's expectations and never fall in love. Kirill is a man who must do his duty, only he didn't expect to do it so soon. When his father dies, he knows it's his destiny to be King. What he didn't expect is the troublesome mistress that's now his to deal with.

Lords of the Var Book One

Ulyssa is a government agent sent to the planet Qurilixen to stop the use of biological weapons. However readers of the previous Dragon Lord books will recognise her more as the vapid Gena from the brides ship - WHO KNEW!!! The threat is over before she really got a chance to complete her mission and now she is stranded waiting for her transport home and on to her next mission. Found near her campsite by King Attor, she is kidnapped and dumped in the Var kings harem. 

When he is killed, his son Kirill becomes king. Kirill comes upon Ulyssa when she tries to flee the palace and getslost. There is an instant heat between them but she makes it clear that she plans to leave him when her spacecraft arrives. Will she change this princes mind about being attached to a single female? Can Kirril get the thorny female to admit she cares for him?

I was not a fan of Kirill and Ulyssa to begin with, it took me a while to warm up to them. That may because having read all the Dragon Lord books I was a bit biased against the Var. But they are also quite emotionally stunted individuals and prickly characters are always so hard to engage with. However, I managed to get them in the end and you can see where their isolationist tendencies root from.

Ulyssa is rash, outspoken and easily takes offence and ends up punishing not only Kirill but herself. Not exactly the actions of a totally hard hearted unemotional woman! 

Hoping to get more involved with the Var princes are the series unfolds.
