This review took me days to write. This book shook me because people who look like me are not usually positive main characters in Western media. We're not usually the main love interests. We are not represented with the vulnerability, delicacy, or intelligence of others--as human, flawed, thoughtful, loving, capable of all the same human things as others. Our hair, skin, hands, and feet are not seen and touched as objects of beauty in mass media. This book did all of that in the most natural, human way and it means the world to me.

I loved how protective and supportive he ended up becoming. He made her feel included and important This one was one of my favorites of the series so far. I also really liked the small look into the polyamorous relationship, I do wish that were a book itself as I'm curious about how that went down, having read this series, I can see that being tough for these males.

I mean, how could I not? I adore bad boys and morally gray is one of my favorite colors, but an overzealous scientist with an untamed urge to make you his latest, greatest experiment just didn't sound very swoony to me... BUT I am beyond pleased to say I was very, very wrong. In fact, Ukuri is quite swoon worthy, kind of charming, surprisingly sweet, undeniable clever and pretty hot! Lol All kidding aside, I thought this book was really amazing. It was exciting and suspenseful, dramatic and emotional, and heart melting and steamy. Noemi is truly a perfect match for him and as with all the heroines in this series, she makes your heart ache for her even as it fills with awe over how actually awesome, she is. As far as the overarching storyline goes, we get some interesting twists and lots and LOTS of developments that have left me filled with a potent blend of anticipation and anxiety about what will happen in the next and final book.

Who best embodied the traits of their long-lost mer queens? It was a mystery. \u003cbr\u003eA thousand years ago, a great catastrophe destroyed mer-human relations and drove mermen deep into the oceans. Mermaid queens, who were once as plentiful in cities as mer warriors, died out. Now, only sons were born. \u003cbr\u003eHiding in the ocean and clinging to the old covenant was killing them. They had to seek modern women for brides. Now.\u003cbr\u003eHis treasonous vision had incited riots in the cities and landed him in the prison of the great, ruling All-Council. But it had also convinced a warlord to break his city’s covenant and marry a modern woman. After the existence of mermen was revealed to all, a small army of warriors rebelled from their home cities and freed Kadir.\u003cbr\u003eMany of these hundred contestants would make fine queens, but which was best for his queen? His queen must be confident. Radiant. She must shine her inner light and uplift all who looked upon her. \u003cbr\u003eThe instant he saw this Elyssa cowering behind the purple curtain, he knew. Finally. She was the one.\u003cbr\u003eIf his lieutenant hadn’t been busy, Kadir could have simply carried Elyssa out of the pageant to the waiting vehicles. She would have understood her situation on her way back to Atlantis.\u003cbr\u003eShe was his.\u003cbr\u003eBut he had to acknowledge his physical state. She might question his ability to care for her. “Is my choice unwelcome?”\u003cbr\u003e“No!” She laughed and shook her head. “No, but I mean, I’m no one. They’re amazing.” She pointed at the stage. “They’re all...uh...they’re...”\u003cbr\u003e“Not you.”\u003cbr\u003e“No.” She bit her lip, teasing him with the desire to bite it also. “I didn’t prepare for this.

She shook her head as though to chase it away. “Me? As a mermaid queen?” Her light began to shine once more. “Really?”\u003cbr\u003eNow she believed.\u003cbr\u003eHe pressed forward to seal their agreement with a kiss...\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"I am in love with this series and these great characters!
