Melaan is
depressed because his sisters were captured and killed by humans.
Humans look
at mermaids and mermen like demons, and when they are caught, they are
killed.
He is wallowing in his depression at the ocean’s surface, when he is
trapped in
a fishing net and dragged onto a ship. He is then thrust into a tank
and told
that he will be sacrificed, because God wants all demons to be killed.
He vows
to free himself and find his way back to the ocean. The one
complication in his
predicament is Caera, the daughter of the man who captured him.
Melaan
doesn’t want to like her at all. She is the daughter of the man who
wants to
kill him. Yet, she is so kind to him and he can’t seem to resist her.
He soon
finds himself developing deeper, more sexual oriented feelings for the
fiery
haired beauty. He wants to indulge in these feelings, yet he knows that
he has
to get back to his home, the ocean. A relationship between a merman and
a human
could never work out. It is doomed to fail.
Caera is
drawn to Melaan when he is brought to her home. She soon finds herself
visiting
with him, and spending time with him whenever she can. She quickly
learns that
just talking with him isn’t enough. She wants a deeper bond with him.
But in
giving herself to him, is she setting herself up to be disappointed?
Can a
relationship between them work? What if he is killed before she can set
him
free?
OCEANBOUND
is a fantasy erotica that vaguely reminds me of “The Little Mermaid”. A
mermen
and a human fall in love, except there is no chance of the human
growing a tail
and entering the ocean, or the merman growing legs and living on land.
They set
out to prove that a relationship between a merman and a human can work
out, if
they can set him free. Ms. Savage pens an interesting fantasy romance
that
tests the bonds of a relationship.
