Resumen del Editor

Females young and old, beautiful and plain crave Valerian's touch. None can resist his blatant sensuality and potent allure…until he steals Shaye Holling from a Florida beach and holds her prisoner in his underwater kingdom. The cynical Shaye wants nothing to do with the mighty warlord, but she's inexplicably drawn to him. For underneath the warrior's arrogant beauty lies a complex and powerful man. A man whose caress is like fire.… Now Valerian must fight for the privilege of claiming her as his own. Because there's one thing Shaye doesn't know…that when a nymph discovers his true mate, she's his for life.

Ugh, couldn't finish.

I read this book many moons ago and liked it then and have always love GS. However as I'm listening, I thought to myself, "why?" Why did I subject myself to a storyline that is so dull witted. Yes, Nymphs are sexual characters, but man, it's portrayed in every. single. paragraph! After the first few hours, I could give it anymore. The characters were annoying. The heroine was a typical, "I hate all man, therefore I shall hate you too." The hero, "I am man, hear me roar!"

The narration for the female voice is fine, but when it comes to the male voices it is sorely lacking. Imaging you trying to do a deep male voice, yup, that's what it's sounds like.

Needless to say, I had to return it. Not worth a credit.

meh...

I absolutely love gena showalter she is one of my all time favorites. she keeps me entranced in her genius. now as for this book I wasn't captured the way I normally am with her reads. for one savanna Richard's IS NOT MAX BELLMORE... when max reads to me I feel like I'm there on the very adventure the characters are on. he describes the story in detail and his voice is remarkable.Two savannah doesn't bring the growl the heat and passion Max's voice brings to a man's character. her voice was one way for valerian all through the read too serious. her voice changed for all the emotions shay felt but not for valerian. in no way am I saying Ms Richard's is not a good narrator she is great but I prefer male narrators to females especially for intimate scenes.

A VERY ENJOYABLE FANTASY WORLD TO DWELL A WHILE IN

This is book 3 in GS's Atlantis series where, in the mythical realm beneath the sea, there are three Kingdoms..... Dragons, Vampires and Nymphs and it's where a whole host of other weird and wonderful creatures live. There are alliances, hatred, friendships, wars, portals and lovers but overseeing it all is the mighty vengeful Poseidon. They could each be stand alone listens.

The handsome Nymphs need sex all the time to keep their strength up but the Dragons have stolen their females so they are forced to steal some Human women and that's when the trouble starts for Valerian, King of the Nymphs when he locks eyes with his mate.... Shaye.

It's fun, fantastical and there's a lot of bantering, humor and angst between the H/H when Shaye doesn't want to instantly drop her panties and stay with the super sexy and gorgeous King so, for the first time, Valerian really has to work hard for it. There's also sub plots involving the Dragons, Vampires and Poseidon and a secondary romance. It's filled with great characters and GS's imagination at world-building is awesome and the Narrator did a good job coping with all the many different voices.

Worth a credit? This is a entertaining, light and enjoyable fantasy romance with a couple of sex scenes between two very likeable main characters. I've listened to the whole series now and have loved every one so, YES, a very creditworthy addition to the series.

Nymph King

Great Book definitely , kept me guessing from the very beginning to the end. Story line was extremely exciting.

Well narrated!

What did you love best about The Nymph King?

I loved the story line. I think the whole concept of the Nymphs was well put together. It had very funny moments and there was definitely times when she made me want the Nymph king lol I give this book 5 stars for the narrator as well. She did great!

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Nymph King was my favorite. He was so darn arrogant but became putty in Shaye's hands. It just went to prove that women can definitely get under your skin.

What does Savannah Richards bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Personality and enthusiasm! Loved the way the voices were portrayed for each character.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Nymph King : Legends of Atlantis

Any additional comments?

Let Savannah read all of Gena's books!

The B-movie version of novels

It lacked the sophistication of a good fantasy world. It seems all the mythical creatures are lumped into one underwater world. The characters and plot are typical.

If there’s really nothing else to read or to listen. And, if you’re simply tired of hearing, talking and watching about COVID-19 and politics, then this would be an ‘ehh’ option.

loved it

<3 easy to read wonderful story love that and I did not put it down I stayed up too late to read it if you want enjoy love stories this is the book for you

I was delighted and laughed a lot

I really enjoyed this story. The narrator was exceptional! Although the heroine was frustrating throughout most of the story, who could not fall immediately for Valerian. I laughed a lot. It was hard putting this one down.

Loved it

Gena Showalter has always been one of my favorite authors, her stories are always amazing

Umm yikes

This is my first and now last Gena Showalter books. It was disturbingly rapey with the treatment of brainwashed women by the entire population of nymph men. This world sounds more like horror rather than romance.
