(from back cover) “Enter a mythical world of dragons, demons and nymphs…enter a world of dark seduction and powerful magic…enter Atlantis…

Females young and old, beautiful and plain crave Valerian’s touch. None can resist his blatant sensuality and potent allure…until he steals Shaye Holling from a Florida beach and holds her prisoner in his underwater kingdom.

The cynical Shaye wants nothing to do with the mighty warlord, but she’s inexplicably drawn to him. For underneath the warrior’s arrogant beauty lies a complex and powerful man. A man whose caress is like fire…

Now Valerian must fight for the privilege of claiming her as his own. Because there’s one thing Shaye doesn’t know…

That when a nymph discovers his true mate, she’s his for life.”

 

This is Ms. Showalter’s third paranormal romp through Atlantis,(at least I believe it’s the third, please don’t flame me anyone if I’m wrong! ), and I enjoyed it immensely. She has a wonderful sense of humour, and Shaye is a fun character to follow through her ups and downs. The world building of Atlantis and the characters there are great, I’m looking forward to more romantic adventures here and in any other “world” Ms. Showalter creates.  See more about her books at www.genashowalter.com

Shaye and Valerian along with the supporting characters were a lot of fun to read. I got totally wrapped up in this story for a few hours and for me, that’s the goal of reading, so The Nymph King gets
