You think you know the story of The Little Mermaid…
A tragic accident on the eve of her eighteenth birthday leads Princess Erica to a chance encounter with a mysterious man on the beach.

Ari knows he’s crossed a line by mingling with the land humans, but how can he resist the beautiful princess whose life he saved? He must decide whether to stay on land and become like her, or continue to live without her in the depths of the ocean.
Trapped in a centuries long battle between his kind and hers, his decision will rock both their kingdoms.
With a sea witch that needs repaying and the small matter of Erica’s engagement to someone else, Ari knows the odds are stacked against him.

AUTHOR BIO:
J.A lives in a total fantasy world (because reality is boring right?) When she’s not writing all the crazy fun in her head, she can be found eating cake, designing pretty pictures and hanging upside down from the tallest climbing frame in the local playground while her children look on in embarrassment. She’s travelled the world working as everything from a banana picker in Australia to a Pantomime clown, has climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and the bottom of the Grand Canyon and once gave birth to a surrogate baby for a friend of hers.
She spends way too much time gossiping on facebook and if you want to be part of her Reading Army, where you’ll get lots of freebies, exclusive sneak peeks and super secret sales, join up here

I think I would make up my own drink for this one! Something with dark rum and coconut water…. Get it? Dark water?? 😉🍻 I may have to add other stuff if I tried it out, but those would be the 2 main ingredients! 🐟🐠

A martini espresso is dark and brooding so would go very nicely and it would take the edges of the Mills & Boon effect..Did you watch Sirens?

Ha ha! I was actually going to say something with coffee since it’s dark water. 😉 I haven’t watched sirens… I really haven’t had time to watch much since I’ve been reading so much! 😳

Similar to the book in many ways I suspect… Keep reading and great minds think alike don’t they? Well as far as alcohol at least 🙂 xx

Re-tellings of famous fairy stories are always interesting, Nicole. I can’t access your far-side or tag posts – it tells me there is an error?

I’m actually going to do a “mermaid week” soon so I can read a few books I’ve been stockpiling over the last while. I’m so excited for it!!
And that’s strange… I just tried the Far Side post out myself and i got on fine. 😕 Are you going through an email, or my blog page? Because I accidentally posted it when it wasn’t finished and reverted that one back to draft.. So, maybe you’re trying the check the one that no longer exists? Try this
