Review: Mermen (Mermen Trilogy #1) by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff (PNR)



Book Blurb

These Mermen Don’t Have Tails, They’re Deadly as Hell, and They’ve Got Something He Wants…

INFAMOUS BACHELOR and SELF-MADE BILLIONAIRE ROEN DORAN IS A BASTARD. Yes, he knows it. And no, he doesn’t care. He’s got money and power, and he depends on no one. But when his estranged father dies, willing him a secret island, Roen will come face to face with an even bigger secret: its occupants. And these savage, sea-obsessed warriors are quick to make their position clear: Leave now or die.

There’s only one problem. Nobody tells Roen what to do. Ever. Oh, and one other thing. He’s just met the island’s other new “guest” and something about her brings out his possessive side.

SOLE SHIPWRECK SURVIVOR LIV STRATTON had been adrift at sea for ten grueling days when salvation miraculously appeared: an uncharted island. Only, the deceivingly beautiful men who live there aren’t interested in saving her. No, not at all. Because they somehow believe she is their property, a gift from the ocean to do with as they please. This is not good.

Her only hope? Billionaire Roen Doran, of all people. A man who’s said to care for nothing and no one. But if he’s so heartless, then why is he about to risk everything to help her?

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

In book one of the Mermen Trilogy, Liv Stratton was floating on the ocean in a raft after the fishing boat she was on sank in a storm. While she is floating along something bumps her raft. When she looks over she sees land which should be impossible. There shouldn’t be an island there. She spots a man on the beach and tries to get his attention. Then she notices a shark has been bumping her raft. The strange man comes to her rescue but then things get strange. He gives her strange water and mentions something about claiming. When she tries to run he gives chase and Roen Doran, Billionaire extraordinaire, is there to save her. This island is full of strange men and the only one she trusts is Roen. She and Roen know they have to get off this weird island. Something isn’t right.

In order to save Liv, Roen has to sacrifice himself. He makes a deal to get Liv off the island and to safety. Liv can’t tell anyone what happened on the island or that it is even there. Her guilt is crippling her and everyone blames her for Roen’s disappearance. Her life is forever changed and she can’t escape her time with the mermen.

I really like this author and have read several of her books. This is a new series that she has developed. I’m not quite sure what I think. I’m not loving it. The mermen are rude and barbaric. So I don’t even like them. The storyline about the island is truly weird and I can’t buy into it. I didn’t like the situations this book presented to the reader. So I hope they get better with the next one.

The real saving grace so far is Liv. I really liked her character. She is strong and refuses to be claimed. She does everything she can to help. I want to see what happens to Liv in the next book. However this book I give a 3 out of 5.
