From number one Amazon best-selling author J.R. Rain and New York Times best-selling author H.P. Mallory comes the Midlife Mermaid series! A paranormal women's fiction novel!
Being a mermaid isn’t all it’s cracked up to be....
In the underwater kingdom of Corsica, mermaids are the property of mermen. We’re considered valuable as breeders until we reach our mid-30s, at which time we’re deemed no longer useful.
Good thing for me I’m 40, never had any children, and I’m a widow. So, I can basically live my life as I see fit.
Until my husband’s younger brother, Cullen, decides to make me his wife...one of seven.
Cullen has a mean streak a mile wide, and he’s always been obsessed with me—ever since we were young. Now that his older brother is out of the way, he recognizes his chance to finally possess me.
Only I’m the type of woman who won’t accept my fate so easily. No, I’m a fighter by nature, so when it’s decreed that I should marry Cullen, I do the only thing I can do.
I escape. To the land.
Once I reach the shore, I’m facing a whole new and terrifyingly unfamiliar world. Luckily I’ve got the siren’s song, which encourages humans to do whatever I want them to.
Except my song doesn’t work on one human male in particular: Sawyer Ray. And Sawyer just happens to be the one man I need, because I’m fairly certain someone has come after me....

The unusual protagonist makes for a novel experience. Not just the fact that she’s a mermaid, but also that she’s in her forties, she’s not looking for a life partner (at least at the start), she doesn’t regret not having children, and she’s curvy & proud of it. Her determination to live an independent life won me over.
The ending is very abrupt. It is clearly leading to the next book in the series. There’s no cliffhanger as such, but I would have preferred a better-rounded ending.
The audiobook, clocking at 4 hrs 10 min, is narrated by Kelley Huston. She does read well, though her accent wasn’t to my liking. Still, the audiobook is a nice option to explore this story.
All in all, this is a nice book that balances fun and seriousness. I loved how it stressed more on Eva’s finding her own freedom. If you can ignore the logical flaws, this can be a great entertainer. Recommended for a light-read mood day.
3.75 stars.
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook at my request and these are my honest thoughts about it.
Better than I expected.

It was a nice adventure but this is only book one of a trilogy. I am not sure this story needs three books be told.
I enjoyed this book and was entertained throughout the entire book.
I have cheated and read the blurbs on books 2 and 3, which has made me decide not to continue after this book. Having said that, this is a great listen and a very enjoyable read.
Worth the credit.

Little Mermaid, Fish Out of Water
I like a story where characters are new to the world. I think the author does a decent job of making it feel like Eva doesn’t know the things she shouldn’t know as a mermaid (it does have some inconsistencies though). I’m a bigger fan of the first half of the books before the potential love interest showed up. Although I knew he would be there due to the blurb about the book, I felt like the story became much more stereotypical once he was introduced.
As I’ve stated before, I enjoy a story with an older protagonist. Always nice to read something about someone who isn’t a teen or in their early twenties.
Solid narration; no complaints there. Although, I recommend you listen to the sample to verify that you like her voice.
If you enjoy mermaid stories, fish out of water tales, light romance and older protagonists, this is worth a look. If you have kindle unlimited this is worth a borrow if you are curious.
I’ll admit though that I’m not likely to continue the story. It didn’t hook me and there are hundreds of interesting reads out there that will likely fit my tastes more.
