This is a cozy fantasy novel. I went into this one knowing nothing and was unsure what to think and ended up liking this cute story about found family.

This one had all the elements for an entertaining book, but just wasn't what I was looking for. This had some great world building and steamy romance scenes, but I was expecting to like or care about the characters a little more. A romantasy with pirates and mermaids...great start.
