REVIEW:
This wasn’t a bad little story but I wished there was more to it.
Peter is thrown overboard off a ship where he was fleeing from being forced to marry. And a woman. He was floating in the ocean close to dying when his, what he thinks are hallucinations, are moving hm to shore. When he realizes that’s not the case, he freaks. But then he sees Cuke and is in awe. They like each other but the language boundaries are hard to overcome. They figure some things out but it’s still difficult. But the sex they share often has resulted in Cuke having a child, but a human one. She needs Cuke to feed and grow but cannot breathe water. They make it work until some people appear and Cuke has to run for fear of discovery. Peter is taken back home for a bit but returns to build a home back on the island to be near Cuke and for their child to be with them both. But his daughter has spoken with the dolphins and Cuke is extremely sad. Peter only hopes they will get him soon and they can be a family again.
Like I said. It’s a cute little story. But it cut off quick to start with and I hate that. Is there more to this story? And plus the book was mainly about sex. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Don’t get me wrong. But I just wish there were more. A way to bridge the language. Well, now they can with their daughter, so there is that. But there was barely any history mentioned, and Cuke’s family are assholes. At least his father tried to help and be encouraging. I just wanted a little more plot. But anyway. I loved Cuke. He was adorable but fierce. He was sweet and I really loved his personality.
See what you guys think.
