Fen is a selkie - a seal shapeshifter, a seal skin the
key
to his ability to shift between man and seal. In addition
to shapeshifting, he can also cloak himself in magical
glamour -- a very powerful illusion. Neither of these
represent Fen's true power though, he is an empath, capable
of sensing other people's emotions and letting them feel
his
own. Fen's empathic power is so exceptional that in some
situations, he is even able to see the memories of certain
scenes played out before him.
River Thibodaux has dedicated her life to making sure her
brother Jason has the one thing she wanted but never had, a
stable home life. River and Jason's lives were in constant
upheaval as they were growing up due to their parents
fighting, breaking-up, and making-up. Once River was old
enough to leave, she moved with Jason to a small town in
Maine - she started a business, bought a home, and started
a
new life for them. River had even opened herself up to the
idea of love and a relationship; however, things ended very
badly and River has wrapped herself up in a cocoon of pain,
shut off from life.
Fen is drawn to River's pain and has an overwhelming need
to
help her resolve the issues causing the pain so she can
move
forward. With Fen's help, River unlocks feelings she has
long left buried, bringing to light her passion not just
for
the man, but for life itself. Fen helps River build on her
relationship with her brother, helping her to realize that
though she's dedicated herself to creating a better life
for
the two of them; it won't matter if she doesn't actually
live that life. With Fen's empathic help and love, River
is
able to finally open herself up to a love that has been in
front of her all along - Leo.
OCEAN'S SURRENDER is a beautiful, paranormal romance with
incredibly erotic sex scenes. Denise Townsend has created
two incredible protagonists in River and Fen -- both are
multi-faceted, complex characters that draw you in and
leave
you wanting more. Ms. Townsend's writing style flows very
well and I completely enjoyed this book. Also available,
Ocean's Touch.
When a lonely woman has lost all trust, it takes an
otherworldly creature to restore her faith in mankind.
River is still recovering from the attack by an ex-boyfriend
a year ago that left him dead, and her grievously injured.
Damaged emotionally and physically, she is continually
tormented by her attacker’s brother, who blames her for it
all. Worse than his blame, though, is her own—River believes
she was at fault for letting the attack happen.
Fen can sense River’s emotional pain like a beacon in the
night. A selkie, he is compelled to help her on her path to
healing, both emotionally and physically. Leading her on a
journey to claim her own strength, he also helps her draw
closer to Leo, the paramedic who saved her life that dark
day…and who has never forgotten her.
Warning: This book features an abused woman, a man who wants
desperately to help, and a sexy selkie who knows just how to
heal what ails them all.
