Half-human, half-mermaid, kind-hearted Anna has never belonged anywhere.  Shunned by mermaid society, she doesn’t really blame the others for their unwillingness to befriend her when she suffers from the same curse that afflicts all of the women in her line.

When she finds an injured angel, it is that magnanimous heart that compels her to stifle the overwhelming fear wrought by his enemies and help the handsome Jonah – even when he tries to push her away.

After centuries of loss and heartache, Jonah has succumbed to a debilitating despair that threatens his very soul.  Anna’s innocent hopefulness stir feelings in him he thought long gone.  But will her light be enough to save this war-weary angel?

Oh my.  As big a fan as I am of Joey W. Hill’s work, I really didn’t expect A MERMAID’S KISS.  In fact, I’ll go on the record right now saying I believe this to be her best work yet.  Fans used to her sexy brand of romance will be more than thrilled with that element in this book, but this story is so much more than that.  The author has crafted a tale that inspires hope and faith along with love and romance.

Truly, A MERMAID’S KISS has a depth to it that touches the soul along with the heart, inciting the reader to embrace their own faith in a benevolent higher power.

Jonah is just heart-breaking.  His despair is so intense it makes one wonder just how he will be able to find his way out of the darkness that engulfs him.  Yet along the way, we see glimpses of his heart that tell us he isn’t completely lost, even if he himself doesn’t realize it.

Anna sees it, though.  With her effervescent personality and her ability to find joy in the smallest of things, she is the perfect foil for his darkness, warming Jonah with a heart that is absolutely pure.

For a compelling story of faith and redemption infused with plenty of searing romance, pick up a copy of Joey W. Hill’s A MERMAID’S KISS!
