Overall rating 4/5
This book had me hooked from the beginning. You know it is going to be good when the spice hits in chapter 5 with a steamy elevator scene. This was a quick spicy novel with fantastic world building. There were just a couple things that I had a few questions I hope are answered in the second book. Like how are these magical sea people horses, and why were they never really described as such until later in the book when Callum references himself as such? I guess I just always correlated such stories with mermaids. And why did Callum never speak with a Scottish accent until later in the book as well? I cannot wait to read the next installment in the The Sons and Daughter of Lir series!
