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?
Q&A with Mimi Jean
-How did you come up with the idea of Mermen?
I love stories where the unlovable or revolting are turned into something we all can’t help but fall in love with. Example: Who didn’t love Warm Bodies? The dude is a zombie and eats brains, but most of us were probably loving him from the first moment.
And when I wrote the ACCIDENTAL SERIES, I was kind of going after the same thing. Mayan gods are NOT sexy. They just aren’t. But creating a world where that just wasn’t true was so much fun. And my gods aren’t just sexy, they make you laugh.
Anyway, when I decided to tackle another similar “taboo,” I wanted something that would really, really push me. So I chose a species I find hard to get turned on by.
Half-fish men can be pretty, but they’re not sexy! (For me, anyway.) But that was part of the fun! Reinventing the entire folklore surrounding mermen and mermaids and turning it into something that would turn the mermen-haters into mermen-lovers.
-What did Cimil think about all these Merman?
She’d want to make them all her personal pets and spank them.
-Will there be any crossover between the Accidentally Yours characters in the Mermen series? Will there be any invisible unicorns?
LOL. I hadn’t thought about that, but now that you mention it, I could see some of the Mermen jumping over to Immortal Matchmakers (my ACCIDENTALLY YOURS spinoff), looking to Cimil and her unicorn for a little help in the love department.
CAUTION: These are not your average fairy tale, fantasy,
Barbie, kids cartoon mermen! They are mean, they are vicious, and they are
absolute bastards. Also it ends in a cliffhanger, typical Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
fashion. Unlike some of her other book this book is strictly in the third
person and I love that; and like her other books it’s weird and I love weird. I
loved the premise of the book a protected island in the middle of the ocean
it’s only inhabitants gorgeous men unfortunately all of them are massive
a-holes. So you are thinking to
yourselves… Mermen? Yes. Do they have tales? No the evolved past the point of
needing them. They are also stronger, faster, can breathe underwater, and of
course swim like they are part fish, which they are not they are genetic
cousins to us land lovers. Think along the lines of Mermen are to Human as
Tigers are to Kittens. Liv is an awesome character she is strong and not
willing to give up even when it comes to Roen. Now Roen, he is a bastard but
despite it all your heart goes out to him because the situation he finds
himself forced into. The chemistry between the two is outstanding and at one
point makes you want to strangle someone; more specifically Roen.
The book starts off
with Liv in a life raft; she was on a fishing boat doing interviews for her
dissertation when a freak storm comes and sinks the boat and she is the only
survivor. She has been floating around for over a week she thinks she is
hallucinating when she sees an island, she really thinks she’s hallucinating
when she sees a very large very naked man swim out of the water on to the beach
and she knows she is not hallucinating when a shark starts circling her raft.
At first she thinks the man is a savior but it soon becomes obvious that is not
the case.
Roen is a self made billionaire, he hates the water and the
only way to conquer anything is to master it hence the shipping company. He was
raised by a mother running from his psychopathic father an eco-terrorist and
all around A-Hole and Roen wants nothing to do with him but fate intervenes and
lands his father’s will in his lap. The will includes the coordinates to
nowhere, well nothing that’s on the map. When Roen gets there his helicopter
crashes and his phone won’t work. He saves Liv from a half naked man trying to
drown her.
Whatever you do... don’t drink the water! Roen immediately
feels a pull to Liv and a possessive need to claim her; even when he knows he
normally wouldn’t do these things he doing them for Liv. That’s not the only
thing he is becoming one more and more like these Mermen and maybe the only way
to save Liv from them is to come one of them.
I love Mimi Jean Pamfiloff and even though this ends in a
cliffhanger book two, MerMadMen, is already available!
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.
