When Rubi finds herself out on a singles cruise headed for the Bahamas, she can’t help but to wonder how her life has gone so horribly wrong. Many speed dates later and one drunken night on the deck sends Rubi head over heels, literally. She finds herself in the cold water of the Atlantic watching the boat she was cursing not long ago, sail off into the distance. Stranded in the middle of the … ocean, she knows it’s only a matter of when she dies, not if. When three gorgeous identical strangers show up out of nowhere, Rubi is certain she is drunk and hallucinating. As they whisper dark promises in her ear and drag her into the dark abyss, she says goodbye to her pathetic life. Little does Rubi know, she is about to be thrust into a world full of magic, centuries old prophecies, sea monsters, and mermaids.

I really enjoyed this new story by Brandy Slaven, especially because of the mermaid theme!! I haven’t read a lot of mermaid books but I loved the way Brandy described their tails, powers, and how realistic everything read in terms of being in/under the water. I love the brothers antics and how their relationships grew with Rubi and developed throughout the story. I am super intrigued by some of the side characters, esp those who joined them towards the end haha. I can’t pick a fav brother, which I think is a great sign that an author made them all have traits I would love. Rubi was a strong MC that I liked and can’t wait to see what happens with her as Queen!! Loved her humor and snark, esp when teamed with Zeph
The reason I couldn’t give it 5 stars was because there were some plot inconsistencies and some odd transitions that took me out of the story. For example, like how they communicate underwater. There were times some of Rubi’s internal monologue was repetitive. Fund more errors than I normally do in books, esp Brandy’s. Don’t get me wrong, I still liked the book, but I think it needs a little more polish before I could change it to a 5 star rating.
I would definitely recommend this series, you will love the escape it brings!! By the way, the first chapter or so from book 2 is at the end…..like I totally need that book right NOW. I am hooked, definitely will be waiting impatiently for Owan’s story
Love me some mermen! I love the premise of this story! Rubi is a hot freaking mess. She is on a singles cruise, gets a bit tipsy, and falls off the ship. She has chalked it that she is going to die. She wakes up in a swanky room with three incredibly handsome men. She thinks she had a crazy one night stand and is still on the cruise ship. Oh the things she feels and how she reacts to finding out that the three handsome men are actually cursed meren….and her mates….and then finding out about her true past! Oh the list goes on and on. She is the hope for these mermen to break the curse and bring life back to their realm. Then she realizes just how comfortable and at home she is. She is to be their queen, but has absolutely no queen-ish mannerisms. She is an absolute riot! Her hunky mermen all have crazy different personalities and each one worships her like the queen that she is. You really get to see their love for each other when other characters are introduced.
I was immediately sucked in with Rubi and her sarcasm. Then there are the three Z’s (the handsome mermen) and their crazy different personalities with all of their hotness. Smush this all together and you have a wonderful new world, full of intense love, laughter, and some hawt sexy time. Oh, and don’t let me forget the action. There are monsters out there that are full of hatred and nastiness. The battle between good and evil is never ending. I love how this story ended and am looking forward to the next in this series.
Rubi has no idea how much her life is going to change when she decides to take a cruise. Talk about a major life change. Rubi is the missing princess. So much is expected of her. Of course who doesn’t love mermaids and mermen.
These are some seriously sexy mermen. The characters are all different. Each with their own personality. There’s some silliness along with the serious. It’s a great start to a new series.
I’ve been waiting for a new book from this author for what feels like forever, but this was so worth the wait!
I loved the storyline. I haven’t read many merman books, so this one automatically caught my attention. I really liked Rubi, she was a character I could easily love and root for. She finds herself on a single’s cruise, trying to meet some new people. While on the cruise, she gets drunk and falls off the ship. She finds herself being rescued by three hot men who tell her she’s their savior.
I’m really looking forward to more books in the series. The plot really kept entertained and I need to learn more about these characters!
My my Miss Rubi how you get yourself in trouble. This makes me want to find my own amazing water men. I enjoyed the book. I loved the steam level and found myself wondering what would happen next and try to figure the books twists before I read them. I only stopped reading to get a water and use the bathroom. Loved it.
I LOVED this book I have been waiting for a great Mermaid RH and this is it!!!! People of your reading this, the answer is YES you should buy this book, it is so worth it. I loved learning about Rubi and her men, great world building, plot and I can’t wait to see what’s next for this Empire!!
