A human, a mer, and a satyr walk into a cove...
When Scott Siddell learns that he’s not quite human, a gorgeous satyr and a merman with a secret are the only ones who can help him come to grips with his heritage—and his growing attraction to them.
Raised among humans, Orrin never had the freedom to love. Now that he has mates, this brave satyr must fight those who want them separated forever.
Because of a dangerous secret, Rian has spent his entire life on the run. Orrin and Scott are his one chance at happiness, but first they must escape the Mad Nereid and her deadly ally.
4 out of 5 (very good)
HIGH TIDE is the fifth book in the Olympic Cove series and continues the overall story arc, so you really need to read them in order to get the full enjoyment from them.
In this one, we have Scott (who thinks he's a human), Orrin (a satyr), and Rian (who people think is a mer but is so much more.) Rian and Orrin are already a couple when Scott comes on the scene, and Rian is not happy with his appearance. This, for me, is where I lost a star. Rian's insecurity and jealousy were understandable and he didn't really receive any reassurances. Not only that, but his attitude did a 180 from disliking Scott to not. I would have liked a little more details about the change of heart, a little more build-up.
The story arc is coming along nicely and I am LOVING how it's going with Thetis. Instead of being a cartoon character baddie, she is fully dimensional and I found myself sympathising for her in this book. Loved that!
On the whole, this is a great addition to the series, just not one of my favourites. I still recommend it, plus the others in the series.

Nicola Cameron likes writing romance, especially when it's mixed with SF, fantasy, or the paranormal. When not writing about those things, she likes to make Stuff™. And she may be rather fond of absinthe.
While possessing a healthy interest in love and related activities since puberty, it wasn’t until 2012 that she actually tried writing a romance novel. She hasn't looked back since, and her To Be Written work queue currently stands at around nineteen books (Nicola's mojito-sodden Muse swans in from Bali every so often to add to the list, cackling to herself all the while).
Nicola plans to continue writing until she drops dead over her keyboard or makes enough money to buy a private island and hire Rory McCann as her personal trainer/masseur, whichever comes first.
