While out diving, she’s caught by the crew of a trawler, beaten, and dumped as shark bait. Rescued and magically healed by a hot lifeguard, she’s not sure if she’s dreaming, but with the erotic fantasy he … offers–sex with two men–she’s not sure she wants to wake up.Trent Okeanós leads an elite group of Australian lifeguards who hide a secret; they are the last of the Mer. His law forbids sex with humans unless another Mer joins them, but when he saves Jayde, he’s unprepared for the jealousy warring within him. Yet if he dares let his lust turn to love, Jayde will be bonded to him for life and he’ll be stripped of immortality.

Hook by Laney Kaye is on the shorter side but oh, so sexy without sacrificing the romance and connection between Trent and Jayde. We’re able peek into the world of the Mer when Jayde finds herself in Trent’s care after a horrible interaction with some immoral fishermen. Our hero, however, had no idea that this independent heroine would end up hooking him. I highly recommend Hook to anyone who loves paranormal romance because Laney Kaye does it right!!
I was scrolling through my FB when I came across this in one of the groups I am in and I KNEW I HAD to read this. I have had a wild fascination with anything to do with mermaids or merman for as long as I can recall but haven’t come across a ton of authors that write in this genre. But I found Hook and I have to say it was so much better than I imagined! Exciting, sexy, crazy interesting with phenomenal characters and a very unique plot, I was utterly captivated by this story.
Hook was something very special. It was adventurous and fascinating and utterly enchanting with one unique plot that was engaging and neat as all get out! Jayde and Trent had a undeniable chemistry and attraction that I was just HOOKED on! I fell in love with the extreme sexiness of the story and how the mer lived. This was a story that was brimming action and HOT romance and sexy times that made me pant and beg for more. A most enchanting and delightful series so far.
Hook gets a FASCINATING AND ALL AROUND SEXY FIVE SPARKLING STARS!
Saucy, Snappy, and Oh-So-Refreshing
HOOK by Laney Kaye bubbles with vibrant descriptions and snappy humor. The author utilizes a fresh, seductive take on merpeople. As the first book in a series, this new Mer world is boldly and vividly established, broadening the confines of the contemporary while highlighting some very real ecological crises plaguing coral reefs today.
Jayde and Trent negotiate an action-packed, dangerous adventure while whole heartedly falling for one another. The story’s romantic elements have a saucy build with erotic culmination. With so many parts to love, it’s difficult to pick my favorite, but the stellar manner in which the heroine embraces her body and sexual mettle is certainly as refreshing as those warm Australian waters. (…the hero finds her quite refreshing as well 😉
There’s some wonderful Aussie-isms that play into the tone of the story. As a bonus, I will never again think of Hans Christian Andersen, Bill Clinton, or corduroy pants without a few evocative giggles. I can’t wait to read the next book in The Lure of the Mer series!
Sexy Mermen, a bold heroine, passion, and humor creates a thrilling ride! I’m looking forward to the next in the series.
LOVED this steamy merman novel, and I can’t wait to read the next!
I loved this extra steamy merman romance.
