Summary
By NYT and USA Today best-selling author Michelle M. Pillow
Terminally ill, Cassandra Nevin has come to the ocean to live out her days on a boat with a bunch of scientists who don't even know she's sick - or that she's not even a scientist. When something from the depths of the abyss attacks their boat, leaving her to drown, she knows it's her time. But then the unimaginable happens - she lives.
Iason the Hunter doesn't understand why the woman he's trying to save from death seems insistent he save anyone but her. Duty bound to try and rescue whoever he can; he takes the woman into Deep Ocean, to his home beneath the waves. But it would seem a watery grave wasn't the only thing threatening his new charge's life. To try and save her from her illness would mean possible disgrace and being banned from ever swimming in the ocean again. But what else can he do? From the first moment he saw her, she had command over his heart.
Rating: Contains graphic sexual content, adult language, and violence.

Enjoyable tale
This is book two in the series, though the story runs concurrently with the first book and not in sequence, you therefore find that there is some repetition of the tale though from a different point of view.
The story centres around Cassie who is dying from an aggressive cancer, when she is tossed into the sea but rescued by a Mer.
A good story with interesting characters and an action packed plot.

The Merman and his Red Headed Beauty
You really can’t go wrong with a Michelle M Pillow story and this is one of my favourite series. Great characters, fantastic world building and some really nasty baddies in the form of the beautiful Olympians! Loved Iason and Cassandra’s story and with wonderful narration from Rebecca Cook this is easily a 5* read!

Love under the sea.
This book follows Cassandra who is saved by Eason. She was on the same boat as Bridget but she’s ill and the healer advises Eason to take her to his home to heal her. Although Cassandra accepts some things Eason tells her there’s other things she thinks are all in his mind. She can’t let herself fall in love with Eason as she doesn’t want to hurt him when he dies so she runs away and is caught by psychotic Maya and her floozy band of mermaids .

Brilliant adaptation
This imaginative series improves with each story. Cassandra is dying so when the ship she is on is wrecked, she fights the mere who is trying to save her. For Iason it is love at first sight, why is she fighting him telling him to save someone else. This is a brilliant second story in this series. I love Michelle M Pillow's work.

Excellent book
Loved this book, sexy hot, exciting and very well written. I enjoyed listening to this narrator very much, she was clear, concise and the changing of the tone of her voice was excellent.
I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 18.

Still here!
Aside from the recaps of the shipwrecks, told from a different POV, the first telling was very similar to this book. It was interesting to read it from the Mer POV. After the rescue, we got the story as Cassandra remembered. It was a very good story. As with book one, this one contains lots of thigh-squeezing sex scenes. If that is your thing, you will love this book.

Loved It!
I loved this book. I liked the first book in this series "The Mighty Hunter," which I also listened to in audiobook, and was happy to get my hands on this one. I loved this one so much better. Great world building and wonderful characters. I didn't care for the heroine in the first book, but really liked this one. Cassandra was dying from bone cancer and already in a lot of pain from when we are introduced to her. Nearly dying at sea and being rescued by mer Iason weakens her, but can also be her salvation. I found the storyline captivating and I couldn't put it down. But of course I do have my issues with Cass a bit in this book at her logic of easily accepting some paranormal/mythology, but dismissing others as crazy talk.
Rebecca Cook did a fantastic job narrating. I was impressed with her variety of voices and thought she did a great job for Iason as well.

Commanding the Tides
This is the 2nd book in the Lords of the Abyss series. Cassandra is on a scientific expedition ship when it is attacked by a sea monster and sinks. Ethan and the other hunters from the Mer people try to stop it but they are too late to save the ship so they saved the 2 women from the ship and bring them to their domed city beneath the ocean. Bridget's story is the first book in this series while Cassie's is the second. In this story Cassie is terminally ill and on the ship mainly considering it as one last great adventure or escape. When Ethan saved her there was an instant connection between the two. Will Ethan and the Mer peoples power of healing be able to save Cassie or will the illness take her now that she has found true love and wants to live? And can she believe in their love enough to fight for it or will she try to run away again. These are some of the questions posed by this story. You will have to read it to find out but I can say it has a satisfying conclusion with each story being part of the main continuing story in the Lords of the Abyss series. I enjoyed this story and look forward to the next.

I Enjoyed It
This is the second book in this lovely series, and whilst it's not absolutely necessary to listen to them in order but it does in my opinion mean you get more from each individual story. The world the author has created here about the Mers is so well done the books contain an overarching storyline about the Mer-people that continues throughout the series.
This book concentrates on Cassandra, a terminal cancer patient, who as if the cancer wasn't bad enough found herself on a boat which sank! Lucky for her, she is rescued and cared for by Iason, a mer hunter. Imagine her surprise when she is told that curing her cancer is possible here and that living in Atlantes has many more benefits too than were possible above water.
The story is exciting, has some drama and intrigue, there's even a villainess thrown into the mix which all adds to the excitement.
The narration of the book by Rebecca Cook is very well done, she has no difficulty bringing the characters to life which added immensely to my enjoyment of this well-crafted and interesting story.

Love, Love, Love this series!!
Iason faces possible disgrace if he tries to save Cass from an illness. It doesn't help that he fell for when he first saw her.

Iason and Cassandra
Iason the Hunter is on the same team as Caderyn, the hero from book 1, and rescued a woman from the same sinking ship. The healer has tasked him to heal the extremely ill human. He agrees. He looks at Cassandra as a gift from the gods. When she awakens, she is totally taken with her rescuer. There is a bit of danger when the Olympians make an appearance. This one has a lot of steam, but it has a getting to know each other feel as well. Danger, thwarting villains, steam, and falling in love make an exciting story. I enjoyed Rebecca Cook’s narration.

Engaging
Commanding the Tides is the second book in the Lords of the Abyss series. It follows Cassandra and Lason. Their story is intriguing with a mystery and suspense aspect. I liked how the emotion and reactions were detailed. The narration helps bring the story to life. I was easy to listen to and kept me engaged.

Iason and Cassandra
Book 2 of the series. Loved it, such a fun series! Iason and Cassandra’s story.
The story rehashes some important points in the beginning. This is valuable if you had not read the previous book, or it’s been a while. It sets the story off to a good start. In this story the hunters save 3 women and capture 2 of the sea beasts. Cassandra is dying of cancer when the ship sank. These two have chemistry. It’s clear they are meant for each other, even though Cassandra fights it. Iason is willing to put his reputation and profession on the line to win her. Several hot scenes in this romance. The Olympians are up to their tricks causing mayhem. The story and characters are well developed. The narrator is great, I truly enjoy listening to her performance. I am looking forward to book 3!
