Publisher's summary

Seduced by the Sea Lord: Warlord Torun cannot wait to claim Lucy, who mistook him for a shipwreck survivor and pulled his injured body from the ocean. He insists her destiny is to become a mermaid queen and mother to his children. The one thing "destiny" forgot to mention was that Lucy's a broke divorcee who can't even have a child.

Sacrificed by the Sea Lord: Mer-king Kadir has endured ridicule, banishment, and undersea prison for his belief that modern human women will save their race. Elyssa can't even match her socks. How can she rule an undersea kingdom?

Enslaved by the Sea Lord: Mer-warrior Soren is no catch. He prefers to protect the other warriors' brides rather than seek his own to repopulate. But he can't control his cravings for elegant Aya.

"Soren's Dark Night": An exclusive scene linking damaged warrior Soren to his betrayal of the warrior he most respected.

Stolen by the Sea Lord: Zara almost died the night she was forced to the surface. Suddenly, her mer-husband, Elan stands on the shore before her like a mirage. He even escaped with her son. And a deadly secret.

Contains mature themes.

LOVE THIS SERIES!!

I totally got into the stories.... would have liked 2 narrators to express the feminine and masculine roles a little better. I hope the other books become available soon so I can continue to read this series... Overall liked the story and hope to explore more like it

great girl empowering stories

All the couples deal with self doubt and overcoming obstacles both in their relationships as well as their lives under the sea.

Perfect balance

Refreshing balance of female empowerment and success, romance, sex, and action. Loved it!! Storyteller was great even if she doesn't always pronounce the t in her words.

Book 2 Sacraficed

I did not like the heroine. The heroine was just stupid…..from beginning to end. I continued to read since it’s a book set. I do wish the author chose a different narrator. She’s not bad but could use work on her male narrator voice. Overall I love the story line. But I’m not buying the nakedness of the Mer. It just seems weird.

I liked all other books my this author. I hope to continue the series after this 4 pack.

Different

Definitely an obsession with a male genitals. Love the description of how the male bodies are. As women to believe in there selves no matter what negativity brain washing

3/5

I didn't do my research before starting this box set. I didn't realize that there are at least two more sets in this series. Each book builds of the previous ones in the series which makes this set feel more like just the beginning rather than a complete story. I'm honestly kicking myself for looking and continuing with this set rather than switching for another book before my Audible trial finished. This was a colossal waste of time. The women were either emotional minefields of self-doubt or strong, independent and closed-off. The mermen were all "protective" by not communicating the dangers of their situations. Combine this with no real resolution after four books we're lucky I'm not scoring this with less stars than 3.

Book 1: Seduced by the Sea Lord
POV: Lucy, Torun
Steam Level: Steamy
3/5

The story is good, compelling. The Merman race are dying out and Torun is is trying for find a solution by finding human brides. Obviously this does not go over well with the elders. He's seen as a traitor. When Lucy accidentally stumbles upon his body she pulls him from the sea. From there miscommunications, half-truths and unnecessary drama abounds. When Lucy accidentally reveals the mermen to the world things get even more crazy and sill the characters cannot communicate. I was annoyed but also wanted to see what happened. This audiobook took me quiet some time to get through which should have forewarned me to stop and switch to another book.

Book 2: Sacrificed to the Sea Lord
POV: Elyssa, Kadir
Steam Level: Steamy
3/5

Elyssa is clumsy and has absolutely no self-confidence. When she accidentally stumbles into King Kadir's arms (literally), he decides she's the one for him - despite the ongoing bride pageant. I think her clumsiness was supposed to be funny and cute but good lord was her self-doubt and lack of self-worth annoying AF. Again the story was good but the characters left quite a bit to be desired.

Book 3: Enslaved by the Sea Lord
POV: Soren, Aya
Steam Level: Steamy
3/5

Enslaved by the Sea Lord starts where Sacrificed to the Sea Lord ends. A battle is brewing and dangers from land and sea are brewing. Soren rescues Aya and they work together - once they learn to trust each other - to help save New Atlantis. That trust was like pulling teeth - no one could be fully honest and open - pushing each other away to protect the other from themselves. I wanted to smack them both several times throughout.

Book 4: Stolen by the Sea Lord
POV: Elan, Zara
Steam Level: Steamy
3/5

Zara is Elan's bride. His bride who was taken away from him and their newborn son and unwillingly returned to her island. No Elam is back, with their baby, wanting Zara back. Can she trust him? Will she trust him? What secrets is he hiding? This book was a change in that it mostly took place in the human world but of course the epic climactic battle took place under the sea. However, this book end not really on a cliffhanger but not really complete either. There are quite a few more books in this series that I won't be reading. I enjoyed the over-aching story but the characters left a lot to be desired. It was the same old miscommunications and lack of confidence in the other and themselves that was present in the first three books of the series. I will not be continuing - even if I had the opportunity to read or listen for free.

Main character

The female character in the second book irritates me so bad. Sorry every other second

The narrator WON’T pronounce the “T’s” in the middle of a word. “Straigh-en”, “Bu-in” on & on…Drove me crazy!

Really like the way the characters are introduced then they are developed in succeeding books. It would have been nice if the merman characters voices were not so robotic & one dimensional.

Good listen

I enjoyed listening to all the four books for one credit. I have mixed feelings about these books. The first and last were honestly not that great. I almost quit after the first book but I am glad I stuck around for Kadir and Soren stories. The Mer human connection was well done but all the need for launching a mer dating website and the cosmetics storylines fell flat. The author seems to specialize in creating heroines with significant insecurities who eventually find their power. It was at times so frustrating to listen to the heroines and their issues were emotionally overwhelming. But there is something of a lesson tucked underneath all the drama that tugged at my heart strings . I can also appreciate the writer’s growth from the first to the second book.
Overall it was a good series to indulge in .

Story A+ Narration C-

Great price for 4 full books. Really fun stories. The narrator pulled me out of the story often. Her pronunciation of some words was alarming and the high pitch of the voice she used for some characters or situations was painful. The books themselves deserve 5 stars. I found myself thinking about the story when I wasn’t reading and looking forward to more.
