"One woman, a selkie, a martial arts instructor discover the truth and love"

Romance Paranormal

About a year ago Rachel was attacked, raped and nearly killed. Her attacker was never found. Since that time she has shut herself away from life and the only thing she has done besides work is train. Rachel has been training with Jack in his martial arts studio. She has been recovering and learning to live her life again.

Yet her pain is still great and Conleth, a selkie feels it from the ocean calling to him. He goes to her to help her heal. Heal her he does.

He also teams up with Jake and a local detective to discover who her attacker is because a year later he starts leaving Rachel 'gifts'.

I really enjoyed OCEAN'S EDGE. All three of the main characters are very strong and work well together. Conleth the Selkie is sexy, caring and smart, Jake is also sexy and smart plus he has been there for Rachel training her in martial arts, becoming her friend and maintaining a safe distance, until Reachel is ready to open up. Conleth uses his selkie skills to teach Rachel to feel again, after her violent attack. Rachel soon realizes she enjoys sex with Conleth and that she wants Jake as well. Now as the three of them search for her attacker, they realize that they make a great threesome in many ways. Denise Townsend has a hit with OCEAN'S EDGE. I'll be reading her other stories as soon as they download.

SUMMARY

In the search for justice, she could find love…and maybe a little magic.

In the year since the attack that nearly killed her, Rachel has worked hard to recover despite the fact her assailant was never caught. Countless hours of self-defense training have rebuilt enough courage to approach the sea that spit her out like a piece of meat. Complete healing? Not even close.

Then Conleth, an honest-to-god selkie, emerges from the sea, offering a magical friendship that begins to unearth the carefree woman she used to be.

The first time Rachel’s tiny foot connected with his balls, Jake cheered from his fetal position on the floor of his dojo. As he’s coached this incredibly brave woman, he’s kept to himself the growing feelings he knows she’d reject. But that hasn’t stopped him from privately digging for the evidence to reopen her cold case file.

With Conleth’s gentle guidance, Rachel begins to rediscover the part of herself who isn’t afraid to love. Until a rose appears on her doorstep—along with a cruel reminder that her attacker is still tracking her every move…

Warning: This book features a martial artist, a kick-ass survivor, and a sexy selkie who wants to help bring a rapist to justice.
