Is Aaron her mate and is he the one who will break the curse? This well written Holiday romance between a mermaid and the sheriff who are perfect for each other. I loved reading Lotta and Aaron’s love story and I look forward to reading more about Sapphire Lake and the mountain mermaids.

Part of the Sapphire Lake series a well written short Christmas story that held my interest throughout, I want to read more in this series. Sheriff Aaron Holmes and mermaid Charlotta Lawsen’s story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The Sheriff and Lotta have a romance that spans decades, in Holly Gunn’s Silver Bells: Mountain Mermaids:Sapphire Lake.
It is such a pleasure to read the sultry and heart warming words written by Holly, as she adds to this series with amazing and unexpected characters.
We watch the longing of two individuals, who have responsibilities that each think will keep them away from the love they know they have so deeply for the other.
A sweetly ringing Christmas gift to her readers, with some extra magic to warm our hearts for the season, and all year long!
Aaron the sheriff of Sapphire Lake has always secretly loved Lotta the mermaid. Lotta had been looking for her fated mate since she woke up 25 years ago to be greeted by the town sheriff. She secretly loved him too but the town thought she was loose due to where here mate mark was. This year though was going to be different for her, her sister and the sheriff. Fun read.

The first book in this new series is a definite winner!!
I loved the interactions between Lotta and Aaron. They were so perfect together. All the years apart when they could have been together, it just made me feel so bad for both of them!
Bring on the next book in the series! I am so ready to read about Essie and see where her sense of adventure and her love of shiny things takes her!

In any good Christmas Story, a wish some has carried in their heart comes true. Lotta and her sister have been together since a witch cursed their people. Lotta has been looking for her one true mate to break her curse. Her mate has to really see her and that includes her mermaid mark. Unfortunately Lotta’s is in a very private spot, that a mate couldn’t accidently see. Aaron, the local Sheriff, has kept an eye on Lotta and her Sister for 25 years now. He has now decided to go for what he wants, whether he is Lotta’s mate, she would love for Aaron to be her mate. The holidays are moved in Sapphire Lake around the full moon phases. This story fits in the series of the other Mermaids really well. I love short holiday stories like this one.

Finally seeing the light
Wow! What an amazing offering into the world of the Sapphire Lake Mountain Mermaids. This author sure knows how to draw out the emotion and excitement in a story. Poor Lotta really has gotten the short end of the mermaid tail. To have a mark that can only be seen when intimate with another, to have a man who ends up marrying another, to have a sister that she has to push on for, to resign herself to eventually be alone, these would all break any other person. But the author has made Lotta out of much sterner stuff and a love that is worth the rest of eternity alone. Good thing when a blast from the past almost takes it all away. I love how the author has tied in her Shifter Kings books with this one, could Essie be in store for an entirely different fate than her sister? I can’t wait to read the author’s next book and see who will get their HEA.
Sheriff Aaron Holmes is a kind, terrific man who thinks he is now past his prime and not entitled to find that someone special everyone looks for. With so much to offer, he’s just not convinced something wonderful is just waiting for him.
Charlotta Lawsen has likewise given up the hope that, after all these years, she can possibly be of interest to the yummy Sheriff. With neither of them looking to find romance, what can get them to open up to a chance for love and happiness?
This is a good story of two worthy people who deserve to find each other and finish what they never started years ago. Will the mermaid and her sexy sheriff give love a chance? Grab your copy and find out – is it ever too late to fall in love?!
I loved this book with its well developed and engaging characters that have loads of chemistry. The flow of the storyline kept me turning the pages.
