Sex is a necessity for nymphs. Without it, they weaken. So
when his warriors get to the point where they can't defend
themselves anymore, Valerian, the Nymph King, takes them
through the portal of his underwater kingdom to the surface
of the earth to find women to take back with them. Having
gone over 600 years without finding his true mate, she's the
last thing Valerian expects to encounter on the surface.
When it turns out his mate wants nothing to do with him,
Valerian is even more shocked. No woman has ever been able
to resist him before.
Shaye Holling's has spent her life keeping people from
getting close to her, especially men. Having grown up
watching her parents go through numerous marriages and
divorces, she's become quite a cynic when it comes to
happily ever after and uses her sarcastic tongue every
chance she gets to keep men at bay. Things are about to
change though. While in Florida for her mother's six
wedding, what can only be described as the perfect man
emerges from the water and kidnaps Shaye, taking her to his
world below the sea.
From the moment she sees him, Shaye is torn about her
feeling for Valerian. She struggles at keeping him at a
distance while privately craving for all the things he can
give her. Valerian has his work cut out for him, trying to
convince Shaye she's the only woman he wants, now and
forever. But with an impending war with the dragons looming
on the horizon, he may lose her before he has a chance to
convince her they really are true mate's.
Living under the water hasn't sounded this good since The
Little Mermaid came out. THE NYMPH KING will keep you
entertained with its sharp wit and sweet romance. Valerian
is a wonderful hero and Shaye's the perfect woman to keep
him in line. The secondary characters add to the richness of
the story and you'll find yourself choosing sides in
Brenna's dilemma. Gena Showalter's just been added to my
list of author's to read. Be sure to snag a copy; you won't
be disappointed.
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.
