About The Book:
Mermen
(The Mermen Trilogy Book 1)
by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
They’ve got something he wants.
INFAMOUS BACHELOR and SELF-MADE BILLIONAIRE ROEN DORAN IS A BASTARD. Yes, he knows it. And no, he doesn’t care. He’s got money and power, and he depends on no one. But when his estranged father dies, willing him a secret island, Roen will come face to face with an even bigger secret: its occupants. And these savage, sea-obsessed warriors are quick to make their position clear: Leave now or die.
There’s only one problem. Nobody tells Roen what to do. Ever. Oh, and one other thing. He’s just met the island’s other new “guest” and something about her brings out his possessive side.
SOLE SHIPWRECK SURVIVOR LIV STRATTON had been adrift at sea for ten grueling days when salvation miraculously appeared: an uncharted island. Only, the deceivingly beautiful men who live there aren’t interested in saving her. No, not at all. Because they somehow believe she is their property, a gift from the ocean to do with as they please. This is not good.
Her only hope? Billionaire Roen Doran, of all people. A man who’s said to care for nothing and no one. But if he’s so heartless, then why is he about to risk everything to help her?
My Review:
Mermen by Mimi Jean PamfiloffMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Mermen by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff is the first book in her new Mermen Trilogy. This is outside my usual genre of reading but sounded intriguing enough for me to venture outside my comfort zone. We all have to do that from time to time right?
So there's an Island, there are Mermen, there's a shipwrecked young woman, and lastly there is Roen Doran. Billionaire businessman and king of the shipping industry.
A missing ship in Roen's fleet causes him to go in search of it and lands him on the same island as the missing, shipwrecked young woman, Olivia, that he's been reading about in the papers.
But what is the island. What on earth (or in water) are mermen and what does that mean for the rest of the planet. Jump in, make a splash and prepare for a cliffhanger. Some of your questions will be answered while more questions will be raised.
An enjoyable and different read of alpha males and lust and power.
About the Author:
Before taking up a permanent residence in the San Francisco Bay Area, Mimi spent time living near NYC (became a shopaholic), in Mexico City (developed a taste for very spicy food), and Arizona (now hates jumping chollas, but pines for sherbet sunsets). Her love of pre-Hispanic culture, big cities, and romance inspires her to write when she’s not busy with kids, hubby, work, and life…or getting sucked into a juicy novel.She hopes that someday, leather pants for men will make a big comeback and that her writing might make you laugh when you need it most.
Q&A with Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
-Do you listen to music when writing?
Yes. I generally have a play list for each book and share those in my “note from author” section in every story.-5 fave movies?
Ugh. I don’t know. Maybe Pride & Prejudice and North & South, but both are BBC mini-series. Ummm… The Princess Bride is great! (Corny and sweet with lots of adventure. Go Buttercup! I loved World War Z (so scary and suspenseful). Ooh, I watched Snowpiercer on Netflix the other day—frozen apocalypse on a train—that was freaking cool. And…definitely Star Trek #1 of the new batches with Chris Pine. I love all of the Star Trek movies, but the opening with the Beastie Boys playing and the kid driving off the cliff sucks me in every time!-5 fave books
Ugh. That’s hard. I don’t think I know. Can I be lame and just say there are too many?-With everyone wanting to love mermen why did you decide to make them the villain?
They’ll just have to read and find out! But everyone should keep in mind who I am and what I always write. I never really leave readers hanging, though they may suffer a bit to get to that pot of gold.
