Author Bio:
R.S. Kellogg writes the Everyday Goddess Stories, the Mermaid Magic Tales, and fiction in the story realms of Breadcove Bay and Agratica, among other places.
Beware. These are not your nice and gentle, pretty merpeople, but HE stands out from the rest, at least in Alex’s eyes.
She doesn’t know…
He’s forbidden to tell…
Could the old legends be true?
Is there one special woman, waiting for him to find her?
Could she be human?
It’s hard to come up with new and unusual moments in a familiar tale, but Alice Renaud succeeded. I was quickly drawn in by the world and characters. Some hot romance is in order and, even though it was heavy, it was also sweet and innocent. I loved this wonderful adventure in Alice Renaud’s fantasy world. An easy read and it left me wanting more. Just proves, predictable can be very enjoyable.

For centuries the shape-shifting mermen of
the Morvann Islands have lived incognito among humans. But one of them, Yann,
has developed some bad habits. Like rescuing humans, even when doing so risks
revealing his true nature. When he fishes Alex out of the sea, he doesn’t
expect her to reappear eight months later, and turn his life upside down by
asking him to be her guide.
Alex is determined to fulfill a promise to her
dying grandmother, by gathering pictures and stories of the Morvanns. But she
soon discovers that, on these remote Welsh islands, legends have a habit of
becoming true!
Over the course of a few days, Yann and Alex grow
close. But some mermen hate humans. Their hostility, and Yann’s secret,
threaten to tear the couple apart just as they are discovering that they are
soul mates. Can Yann overcome the obstacles in his path and make the right
choice?
I immediately began reading Music for a Merman by Alice Renaud, after finishing Book I, A Merman’s Choice. I was so enchanted with the world Alice created, I had to know what comes next. I love that, without looking at the blurbs, I anticipated it would be Rob Regan’s story to be told next and I am really looking forward to it.
Rob Regan is a rookie cop….and a merman. A warrior of the Regan Clan.
A woman, lying the in the middle of the road, right in front of a digger that is part of a development that many in St-Sulien opposed. I love how Alice Renaud incorporated our current social media and click happy culture. These touches of realism add those elements that make a book special to me.
Oh yeah. I am buckling my seatbelt for a bumpy ride, when I visualized Charlie’s seductive smile. I think Rob will have his hands full and I anticipate some laughs along with some lovin’.
I love that Alice Renaud created characters that are opposite of the characters in Book I, A Merman’s Choice. It keeps the stories fresh and exciting. I do love a spunky, flirtatious, snarky girl having fun with the shy, naive, hunkalicious cop.
Even though I know where we’re going, Alice Renaud throws in a surprise or two along the way to a happy ever after.
Who’s next? We have done two of the three clans, so I foresee someone from the Dooran Clan being spotlighted next.

“Rob Regor knew that humans were trouble.
All the shape-shifting mermen of the Morvann Islands knew it. And human women
were double trouble, especially when they were lying on the road in front of a
digger.”
Rob has a mission. Go to the mainland. Work as a
policeman. Find out as much as possible about the mainland humans. Report back
to his father, the head of the Regor Clan. It should be easy.
Until he has to arrest Charlie. Rob can’t fight his
attraction to the sexy eco-warrior, and it puts him on one hell of a collision
course with his family and his Clan. Will he break the rules – or break her
heart, and his?
Unfortunately, I got behind. Hurricane Sally came through with a vengeance and we were without power for five days. I WILL get to this ASAP, because I do LOVE my merpeople.
Caltha the fierce shape shifting
mermaid has no time for romance… but Jonty the warlock has a few tricks up his
sleeve!
Caltha Dooran is the
toughest, fiercest shape-shifting mermaid in the western seas. She has three
Clans to rule, and no time for romance. But when a warlock, Jonty, turns up and
asks her to come with him to London to capture a water monster, she can’t say
no. In London, away from her duties, her attraction for Jonty grows… and they
soon fall under each other’s spell. But will his past and her responsibilities
pull them apart, or can they find the only true magic, the one that binds two
souls together?
