The Mer-Mate

De: Ellory Douglas

Narrado por: Jessie Elwyn

I should have died when the storm threw me overboard as a child. Everyone said it was a miracle I survived, but I know better. I never told anyone what I saw beneath the waves that day. Who would believe me? Half the time, I don’t believe myself.

Someone—or something—rescued me.

Ever since then, my life has been a search for answers. I need to prove myself wrong, because being right would be unfathomable.

Now, years later, my expedition goes sideways and I end up back where it all started—underwater, and in the arms of the creature who saved me.

He’s not just real. He’s breathtaking. Powerful. Protective. And the way he looks at me?

Like he wants to claim me.

Super Cute!

Are you looking for a sweet and spicy shortie, with no angst and a merman who’s ready to give his mate his knot and holds himself back until she’s sure about forever?! Then look no further because this was the best way to spend an hour with an immersive read! I enjoyed this audiobook narrated by Jessie Elwyn and highlighted so many fun quotes while following along with the ebook!

Shayle should have lost her life when she was thrown overboard during a storm as a child. It was a miracle to everyone above the waves, but she never told anyone the reason why she’s still alive…no one would believe her anyway.

Ever since then, Shayle has been searching for answers…to prove that the unfathomable was just that – unfathomable.

Years later, when her expedition goes south, she ends up back where it all started – underwater, and in the arms of the creature who saved her. Shayle is drawn to his breathtaking beauty, power, and protective aura. And the way he looks at her? Like he never wants to let her go…would that be so bad?

Listen, if I fall overboard, and I’m not assisted by a merman who’s been watching over me for years to make sure I’m safe, including having his dolphin sidekick keep tabs on me from afar…then I will be sorely disappointed haha! Toren is a dream, because this merman is ready to explore his mate *wink* and once he finds her pearl? Game over. I will never leave the ocean. Goodbye, world.

Quick and Perfect

This novella was so good! It was quick and to the point. I would have loved a couple more hours of it, but it had a little bit of everything a reader could want!

Jessie did a fantastic job in narrating, also!

Knotting Mermate

The narrator did a great job going from MMC to FMC. I know it’s always a little 😬when it’s not a duet narration.

This is a novella so it’s about an hour read. This also means there no waiting for the smut to happen.

With that said, the story progresses really well and we are give enough back story about our FMC that nothing feels rushed.

Even small things like why are my clothes off or how can I breath and talk get answered in ways that only add to the story, so your never feel like anything is missing.

If you want a quick smutty mermaid read this is for you

Short, Sweet, and Seriously Steamy Under the Sea

I won this audiobook in a giveaway from the author.

4.5 rounded up to 5

This was a fast, fun monster romance! I loved the premise, our FMC is convinced someone (or something) rescued her when she went overboard as a kid. As an adult she's on a quest to prove herself wrong, and ends up as a marine biologist.

For such a short read, it really hit the spot! The perfect quick monster fix! It’s the kind of novella that leaves you smiling, a little flushed, and wishing it were longer.

I really really enjoyed Jessie Elwyn's narration of this book!

IPB Meets Little Mermaid in this Merman x Human romance

This was shockingly so good for how short it was! We got character background for our FMC, an obsessed MMC, and a HEA. This was my first book by this author and now I’m very intrigued!!

If you need a short audiobook or ebook, this one is less than an hour long and less than 40 pages! Go read this to help you reach your reading goal!
