An MM Retelling of The Little Mermaid. With dragons.
Merman Jack is a terrible virgin sacrifice. Mostly because he isn’t virginal. At all.
Hopefully the Sea King won’t notice.
For Jack, the human world has too many wonderful temptations, and too many alphas to resist. He only has two months left before he has to give himself to the Sea King, and he doesn’t want to spend them in the cold, dark catacombs where the Mermen of Rixton live. It may be forbidden for Jack to go to shore, but when did that ever stop him?
Peter is a terrible dragon shifter. He can’t figure out what he’s supposed to collect for his hoard. Without his hoard, he can’t do any of the important dragon-shifter things, like take his dragon form or find his fated mate. After years of losing his lovers to their fated mates, Peter’s feeling his age, and he’s tired of being alone.
When Peter sees a beautiful merman on the beach, he thinks he’s finally found his fated mate. Jack falls hard for Peter too, but he knows they can’t be together forever. If Jack doesn’t show up on the day of his sacrifice, the Sea King will kill his father and take his brother instead.
Will the love between a terrible virgin sacrifice and a terrible dragon shifter be enough to change their fate?
Omega from the Ocean is a 77,000-word gritty, age-gap romance with knotting, light D/s, and Mpreg of the dragon-egg variety. While the ending may be an HEA for Jack and Peter, it’s an HFN for the rest of the Mermen of Rixton. Omega from the Ocean is intended for an 18+ audience.
REVIEW:
I really like this version of The Little Mermaid. Or the twist of it. Who wouldn’t love dragons and mermaids??? But I love the little twists to it. A dragon without a hoard, a merman who is a little rebel. The characters are so good and fun, but deprived of being who they are, and wanting such a better life.
Jack has been singing for an alpha for a while. But it’s usually ending up a scream because he’s so angry no one wants him. And now even worse, he’s had to sacrifice himself to the Sea King, in order to save his family. But now, he’s found an alpha. One who wants him, one who is falling in love with him, but while happy about it, he’s sad because he knows his time is short. What’s worse, is Peter is finally starting to find himself with Jack, learning who he really is as well. And it’s all going to be taken away, unless they find a way to break the Sea King’s hold over everyone. But it’s not going to be an easy thing, especially when Jack’s family’s lives are on the line. And neither of them sure anything will stop the oppression.
I loved Jack. He’s just so damn adorable. I was laughing that he found out how to speak English in a frat house. Of all the places to learn….oh boy. Lol. But I get his wanting to experience life and different things. I get him wanting to leave the sea because of all that’s going on. Life underwater is cold and unfair and he just wants to be happy. And for a while, he can forget and just live amongst people. Meeting Peter, just made things that much better. He finally found a better purpose for his life. He found someone who made life seem so much better. Someone who loved him for him. And Peter finally being able to find himself to a point. It’s a match made in heaven. It’s fate. I loved these two so much. Both searching so hard for something and finding it each other. They are so sweet and just …sigh…yeah. I’m a sap.
This is such a good story and I’m curious where the next book will lead things. I hope you guys like it too.
