![]() ![]() He had his own customs, like wooing Joe by bringing him dead sea creatures as gifts. He didn’t understand human customs or technology. He didn’t speak, except to mimic some of the things Joe said most often, although he sometimes didn’t know what they meant. Sure, he looked mostly human, but he was very much not. I loved how inhuman Dave (the merman) was. Sometimes feelings are just like that, they happen regardless of logic, and the author captured that and made me believe it, which is something not every author or book is able to do for me. ![]() It was such a weird situation, these two couldn’t even communicate properly (it went beyond just a language barrier, since it wasn’t like they could use translators even), but I don’t know, it just worked. But Joe wasn’t immediately thinking about wanting to have sex with the scary, horny merman, the romance and sex took a bit of time, and that made a big difference for me in being able to understand, feel, and believe the feelings between them.Īnd the romance was surprisingly believable, given the weird premise. I’d just had a string of bad luck with m/m romance books in which characters were immediately thinking about or having sex upon meeting, and that became the sole focus of the relationship, which generally isn’t my thing. Honestly, a big part of why this worked for me was that Joe was demisexual. This was so funny, the romance was surprisingly believable given the weird situation, and the characters were fun, including (or especially) the inhuman merman! ![]()
