Slippery when wet…

Forces of Nature, Book 1

From her first kiss to her first sight of dolphins dancing on the waves, Alexia Colten has always held a special place in her heart for Jaffrey’s Cove. Now that she’s back to help her grandmother settle into a home, she discovers this place has lost none of its remembered magic. In fact, it seems more magical than before -— and more erotic.

After she’s gifted with a beautiful, dolphin-etched medallion, she finds herself surrounded by the golden boys of summers past. Her body is filled with longings she can’t explain and dreams of blue lights that turn into lovers.

Joshua Marley and his cousin Anthony are merfolk, a people capable of living beneath the waves as either dolphin or human. Alexia holds the medallion that marks her as the next in line to lead their people—if she can prove she can transform. Working in tandem, they’re sure they can arouse her passion and protect her from those who would use her simply to gain power.

But their strength alone may not be enough to help her face the challenge of her new position…

Warning: This title contains a conniving granny, naked men in the surf and shifters who take fun in the water to new depths. Snorkels not required.

Coming this Tuesday from Samhain Publishing!

*************

I really liked the premise of this book. I thought it was well done and even though there are dolphins on the cover and the blurb hints strongly as to the nature of the book, it kept you guessing. Viv handled this like the master she is. (Or should that be “mistress”? LOL)

The romance is touching as well as hot and the men are sexy shifters of the very best kind. If you like paranormal romance that’s not the norm, you’ll love this book. It reminded me a little of some of Christine Feehan’s non-vampire works, with the heat index turned way up.

For sexy water shifters, splash your way over to TIDAL WAVE by Vivian Arend. You’ll love it!
