Erotic Paranormal Romance

Present Day

While swimming complacently throughout the ocean, Anna cries out in pain as she's hit by an unidentified object.  Upon closer inspection, however, she recognizes the glimmer of a very large feather.  Though she's never seen one up close, Anna realizes the silky feather in her hands belongs to an angel and is covered in blue blood.  Her mind says not to get involved, but when she sees the actual wing that the feather belongs to in all its glory and splendor, she allows herself to be carried further away from her original destination.  Afraid, but determined to help, Anna delves deeper into the ocean to save the injured angel. As a mermaid, she knows angels exist, but is unprepared when she sees the beauty and strength of Jonah, even as he lay close to death. Anna soon feels darkness and evil around her and realizes her solitary state; yet she feels an immediate and unexpected need to save this angel no matter what the cost. 

As the Prime Legion Commander, Jonah's battle with the Dark Ones has almost proved to be fatal, and even though he is still alive, part of him is ready to give up and allow death to take him.  He's hurt over the loss of his best friend and constantly battling with the enemy has begun to take its toll.  Yet he's drawn to the beauty and tender kindness of his savior.  Eager to do his will, she's still strong enough to master his dominant nature, and he's very attracted.  Her desire to be with him at all costs is admirable, but he knows it's not safe for her to be with him.  The Dark Ones are circling the skies seeking their prey and they'll hurt whoever gets in the way.

I never could have imagined that the love between and angel and mermaid could be so visually stimulating and erotically impressive.  With the use of inventive imagery and brilliantly descriptive characters, this tale defines erotic romance at its best.  Joey Hill provides the reader with adventure, multi-dimensional characters, love and even humor to keep the momentum going.  Jonah's dominant and deliriously sexy aura is so intoxicating, yet he's equally intuitive and sensitive while interacting with children. It's interesting to watch the interaction between a mermaid who yearns for closeness as she fights so desperately to protect an angel ironically destined to protect all of mankind.

Will there be a happy ending? As a powerful angel, Jonah is soon forced to make a deadly decision that could change everyone's lives, and Anna must come to terms with something quite unexpected.  A MERMAID'S KISS is a riveting tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat and satisfy your craving for a deeper sense of love and emotion.
