Publisher's Summary

M/M gay merman romance

Gabriel Braven is destined for a great love, but he does not believe it.

His parents had a storybook romance…until a freak ocean storm robbed them of their lives and left him alone to be raised by his grandmother. With their deaths, Gabriel’s adoration for the sea turned to fear, and his belief in happy-ever-afters turned to dust. Gabriel vowed to never set foot in the ocean again and to never believe in love.

Gabriel kept that promise until after his junior year of college, when he and his best friend, Corey, return to the ocean-side town where he lost his parents in order to help his grandmother. Gabriel’s bitter fear of the water has only grown, along with his belief that it is his destiny to be forever alone.

Corey is determined to prove Gabriel wrong. It is his mission that summer for Gabriel to find love on the beach…and maybe do some swimming, too. Gabriel will settle for simply not reliving his parents’ deaths every time he hears the rush and shush of the waves.

Both may get their wish as Gabriel discovers the hidden past of the Bravens and the sea sends someone amazing to his aid.

Book 2 coming soon!

I love Aratare's work, but this was so short!

I'm sorry, I loved this book, I truly truly did, but I can't help but feel that it was a slight waste of a credit to spend on one so short. I can't afford to buy books on this app so I rely on the free books and my bonus credits to have something to listen to while I draw. So when I spend one of my precious credits, and the story doesn't even last me two very short drawing sessions, I wonder if it's really worth it. I had steeled myself into using my ceedits for the whole series, but sadly I don't think I will anymore. I need to keep a better eye on story length.

All this said, like I said, I am LOVING this story. I am subscribed to Raythe Reign on YouTube, and I think I will have to stick to that. Perhaps if I ever stop using Audible, I can just get her stories right from the source, her website, but for now I think I'll have to skip the rest of this series... which makes me really sad. I'll look through her other stuff to see if something else is longer. Too bad, I freaking love mermaids :(

Wasn't the best, Wasn't the worst.

The story is okay, good start for the series. The narrator was very good though.
