3 out of 5 stars. I liked the relationship between Valerian and Shaye. However, Gena threw in so many other background characters (with another love triangle) that I didn't get to read as much of them as I would have liked to. But I did like the setting she created out of Atlantis ... definitely I wish I could see it myself.

Paranormal Romance. Atlantis 3. Valerian is king of the nymphs. Shaye is his human mate. OK
( )

This is a unique story about the under water city of atlantis and the mythical creatures that live there like the male Nymphs who need sex in order to stay strong and battle like the warriors they are. During their take over of a Dragon home, their nymph women are taken and the Nymph king makes a decision that will change his life and the life of atlantis forever...he goes to the surface and the sea god Poseidon isn't thrilled.

I found this to be an engaging humorous read. I actually stayed up all night reading, which attests a great deal to how much I enjoyed this book. I connected with the leading female character and found her a force to be reckoned with and oh the envy of having my own Nymph king....yummy.

The only reason I gave this 5 stars is because I'm not a fan of switching in and out of different point of views- but that by no means is saying the writing is bad- just personal preference.

This is the first book I have read from this author and I intend to read more. ( )

The third book in the Atlantis series. This time we are brought into the lives of the nymphs, briefly introduced in Jewel of Atlantis. A race of man-like creatures that no woman (of any type) resist. They have taken over one of the portals from the dragon-men, and raided the surface (Earth) for women. Apparently, nymphs grow weak if they don't have sex a few times a day. Most of the women come willingly, except for Shaye. The nymph king, Valerian, instantly feels a bond to her and wants to claim her as his own, but one of his warriors has the same idea.

Meanwhile, the dragon-men want their portal and castle back and are planning on launching a full scale attack to kick the nymphs out. Then out of nowhere one of the gods (think ancient Greek) appears and starts meddling with things.

Back with the nymphs, Shaye is slowing losing her resolve to fight against the attraction she feels for Valerian. I enjoyed both the characters of Shaye and Valerian. They were constantly evolving as they learned more about eash other and how best to get along. The supporting characters, both nymph human and other, were developed perfectly for the role they played.

Until the very end I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Then things sort of fell apart...or fell together as it may be...just a little too neatly. It seemed as if she had written her characters into a place she couldn't get them out of.

4/5 ( )

Valerian is the Nymph King of Atlantis and when he goes to the surface to find women for his men, he happens to find something he was never looking for; his mate. Being mated for him was something unheard of because of their sexual conquests, but one look at pale, blond, Shaye and he was enthralled by the fiesty stubborn woman. Trying to convince her to let him pleasure her was by far the hardest thing he ever had to do, and he enjoyed the challenge. Shaye repeatedly denies and torments Valerian until she can no longer stand it herself, and gives in the to the "sex god"... and all her cold emotions get melted away with one touch. Shaye knows she is a goner... and she is in love with him..
