REVIEW:

Puerto Rico, 1725

King Philip V’s henchmen are after Sebastian. Hiding in a dark alley, he meets Malik the sea witch and kraken shifter, even though it’s short, the man got under his skin.
With no place to go, he travels to Malik’s hut deep in the Puerto Rican forest, to find shelter and protection. And oh my goodness does he find protection!

Besides the delicious breathtaking sex scenes, there’s more to enjoy, the threat of the King’s soldiers who want to take Sebastian’s life, and the magic Malik possessed.
Both Malik and Sebastian have a secret.
Malik is smitten by Sebastian. He pleasures him all the time. Dang, Malik working Sebastian’s body with his tentacles was hot af!! Malik is certain Sebastian will run when he’ll find out when he’ll reveals his human body.
Little does he know!

If anyone can top this kraken sexiness from this story, I’d like to know, I doubt there is. My goodness, the sex was incredibly intense, sensual, and inventive, every tenth of an inch was palpable, it was scorching, I was afraid my iPad would go up in flames, thát hot!!
Smut with depth, because yes there’s a story, and I won’t spoil it, and yes it’s all wonderfully written and creatively designed. I loved Sebastian and Melik.
Gosh, the ending… I adored the unexpected outcome!
A wonderful conclusion to a beautiful enchanting series!
