PRAISE FOR THE LORD AND THE MERMAID
5***** This series gets better and better with each book. The fourth book brings even more of the kingdom to light. Plus, we get to see more of previous characters we’ve been introduced to. I love tales of mermaids and this one had such a deep story behind the love formed between Meri and Nik. Nik’s past is dark and so filled with pain. I can’t wait to see more of this couple as the series continues.
5***** Retelling of The Little Mermaid is better than the original and Disney!

I really enjoyed ‘The Lord and the Mermaid’ it’s such an entertaining read. I love how Ms. Rowley has created a fantasy medieval world and taken a very intimate approach to the subject of love. She emotionally delves into their hurts, pain, fears, obsession, desires, lust, and so on…… Each character in her fantasy world is somehow related to the royal family and we get to see how all events and people overlap in each book yet each story can be read as a stand alone. I particularly love this story because of the two main characters, Nik or Nikolas and Meri or Merielle and I can so relate to the story. Nik is a loner and a sea captain living in a remote place and Meri is a mermaid who Nik helps. There interaction is one of frustration and love, flirtatious and infuriating. Meri can become human and loose her tail only if she can fined someone who truly loves her. And like some men and even women too Nik will not admit his love for Meri, she’s an inconvenience to him! There are the well meaning friend and family members looking out for Niks best interest, which doesn’t help either, then there are trust issues too. I want to shake Nik and tell him to wake up and I want to see Meri become human. There are some great scenes written in this book and a couple of good guffaws in there too. It ended all to soon and too fast for me but it was definitely an exciting read.
The Lord and the Mermaid is the 4th book in Bernadette Rowley’s Queenmakers Saga. Merielle and Nikolas’s story is unique and entertaining. I like the fantasy angle. Meri and Nik definitely have their share of ups and downs, while Meri faces her own miraculous situation. They are both interesting characters and they mesh well with people from previous books, thus keeping the saga alive. The storyline remains fast-paced, filled with twists and turns, intrigue and romance. I can’t wait to see what surprises book 5 brings!
