In The Waves of Tristwick by Deborah M. Hathaway, New Release!
Book Summary:
What is a fisherman to do when he catches a mermaid in his net? Let her go—or fall in love?
A Regency Romance
Cornwall, 1815
As
a well-respected fisherman in the Cornish seas, Trevik Honeysett
provides a living for many poor families in the southwest of Cornwall.
Despite the most powerful fishing companies attempting to cut off his
own ability to fish, Trevik refuses to give up. However, when he
discovers a mysterious, injured woman entangled in his net, things
become much more complicated—especially when suspicions arise that she
is, in fact, a mermaid. Knowing he might very well lose his workers to
their superstitious beliefs, Trevik decides to uncover just who the
woman is. The only problem is…she can’t remember.
In truth,
Morvoren Hollow knows exactly who she is. She merely needs to keep her
identity a secret long enough to accomplish what she’d set off to do.
Fortunately, pretending to be a mermaid will keep Society away long
enough to do just that. Her lie becomes harder to manage, however, as
her injury takes longer to heal—and as the nosy but handsome fisherman
reels closer to the truth.
The two clash head-to-head as Trevik
refuses to believe Morvoren is actually a siren from the sea. But such a
thing would be easier to imagine than what he finally discovers about
her past. Fearful of what might happen next, Morvoren must decide her
next step. She can either learn to trust again—or end up truly alone.
This is the fourth book in the clean Regency Cornish Romance series by Deborah M. Hathaway.
Although this romance is a stand-alone novel, the books are best enjoyed when read in order.
My Review:
This Cornish romance story was so
good! This is my first story set in Cornwall and I was immediately
immersed in the culture. I loved it! Hathaway brings the reader straight
into the culture and heart of the people. I felt like the Honeysett
family were real! The dynamic between Moroven and Trevik was explosive.
From hating each other to searching the other one out, they were like
fire and ice. And my heart was melting! The mermaid aspect of the story
was wonderfully done and woven into the entire storyline. I absolutely
loved it. When you read a book and you can visualize not only the place
but the people, the author has been successful. Everyone would feel at
home at the Honeysetts and being surrounded by their love. This is the
first book in the series that I have read and it reads completely fine
as a stand alone. I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts
and opinions are my own.
Happy Reading!!!
