Strong and masterful, the Lord of the Deep enchants her...and Meg must surrender. Only he can satisfy her virgin longings--and her darkest desires...Mystical Erotic Fantasy! Many historical, paranormal and fantasy romances have mentioned sirens, satyrs, selkies, witches, fairies and creatures of the underworld that can shift shape and interact with humans; many in deeply sexual ways. Dawn Thompson is one of the first writers to entertainingly explain this mystical and fantasy world to readers in such a sensual way that the reader actually feels connected, understands, and believes in this other world. The handsome Simeon is the Lord of the Deep and is a selkie that rules the ocean realm and at times can shed his seal skin and walk the land. Selkies are considered some of the most sensual creatures with high libidos and find nakedness and sexual contact a large part of their need to survive. It is during a time when Simeon and his other selkie consorts shed their skins on land at the ocean's edge that the beautiful Megaleen sees them through her window and is sexually stimulated by Simeon's beauty. Megaleen is a human that has been declared a witch and has been banished to the Isle of the Mists in the Eastern Archipelago, Principalities of Arcus to live with her aunt until she can be taken to the Isle and become a Priestess. But once Simeon sees the beautiful Meg he realizes she is his mate, although human, and takes her to live in his land where he, as The Lord of the Deep has power over the Isle and at times on the land. Under the ocean, with many beautiful and unique sea creatures, within the beautiful, deep, under water palaces, they continue to have many sensual encounters and their love deepens. But can Meg remain immortal like Simeon and can Simeon find a way to help keep her immortal while not losing his ability to lose his selkie self? If you are a reader that is uncomfortable with many sexual scenes, this book may be uncomfortable for you. But if you are a fan of the erotic romance, this book is extremely satisfying, because you will be able to see the beauty and lyrical descriptive fantasy above the sexuality. Not only does it have the erotic sexuality expected in an erotic romance, but the fantasy storyline of another world with many mystical creatures, some evil and working at hurting Meg and Simeon and destroying their love and immortality is a highly satisfying and enjoyable read, because there is an extremely interesting storyline beneath all of the erotic sensuality. I look forward to the sequel "Lord of the Dark," which is another one of the mystical creatures, this one who lives in the world above the land, who yearns for Meg in this first book, but realizes she truly belongs to Simeon. Dawn Thompson, now gone from us, has left many books behind to be released. As a cancer survivor, this reviewer can relate and embrace the focus of immortality and care of human souls that are lost in this other world of the deep ocean, a place of extensive life in which Ms. Thompson has written. Lord of the Deep is truly a beautiful story overall, well-written and a very satisfying read for the erotic, fantasy and/or paranormal fan to collect and keep.
