Review – ‘Seduced by the Sea Lord2527 by Starla Night

Blurb 
Determined warlord
Torun cannot wait to claim lush captain Lucy, who mistook him for a
shipwreck survivor and pulled his injured body from the ocean. All his
instincts tell him she is his soul mate. Now she must join with him and
give him a child.
Lucy can2527t believe the words coming out of this
dominant male. He insists her destiny is to become a mermaid queen and
mother to his future children. The one thing “destiny” forgot to mention
was that Lucy2527s a broke divorcee who can2527t even have a child. It2527s
really too bad, because his gorgeous lips are all too kissable, and
she2527d love to see his iridescent gold tattoos moving as he flexed those
broad, hard pectorals under the water…
But Torun2527s in more
immediate danger than a bad bump to the head, and Lucy is the only one
who can save him. Their choices will either save the entire race of
mermen, or destroy it forever.
 
Review 
 

Lucy is
divorced, broke, and her now-ex husband stole her major archeological find a
few years ago. To redeem herself, she2527s searching for more Sea Opals off the
coast of Cancun and finds a body instead. After she drags the sexy dark-haired
man on her small ship, he wakes up and sets out to seduce her.

Torun is in
search for a human bride but the mer people have very strict rules about what
type of woman is appropriate. After two fellow mer warriors leave him for dead,
he finds himself on a human2527s boat and recognizes Lucy as his intended bride.
For him, it2527s love at first sight. For Lucy, she2527s sexually drawn to him but
doesn2527t believe they can be together. Though he tells her the truth about
himself, she thinks he2527s delusional but promises to help him save his native
tribe (of humans, she believes) after he promises to take her to the source of
the Sea Opals.

I understood
the beginning of the book but I became confused after Torun took Lucy to the
underwater cave. When he telepathically spoke to her, she seemed able to
understand him even though she hadn2527t drank the special elixir yet. Once she
finally believed that mermen are real, she totally accepts it without shock or
surprise. After they were exiled, they decided to stay on land when they could2527ve
returned as the rulers of Sireno. Why didn2527t they return? Why did so many mer
warriors still want to kill them after Lucy proved herself a legitimate queen
(wife) to Torun? None of this made sense to me but maybe I missed something.

I received an
ARC of the book through a newsletter subscription and I2527m not sure how
different the finalized copy is. In my edition, there2527s a few missing words and
punctuation errors. I hope that2527s fixed in the final copy. Other than my
confusion with a few plotlines, I thought the H/h were likable characters. Torun
was righteous, determined, and devoted to Lucy. She loved him just as much and,
through his acceptance of her, she started to believe in her own worth again.

The story
ends on a HEA but the epilogue is only available if you sign up for the
author2527s newsletter. I don2527t understand why some authors do that. Since I2527m
subscribed, I downloaded the epilogue and it makes the HEA even sweeter.
