Transformation: The Merman, Book 1

Yes I would. It's short, sexy and steamy but also well written.

Gabriel of course. I love how his mind and body are at war with one another, can't wait to see who wins that fight.

No I haven't but I will listen to his work again.

It was and I did.

Review: ​
​When Gabriel Braven was just nine years old, he lost both his parents in a boating accident. A young, carefree boy that lived in the water became insanely frightened of it from that point on. Now he's twenty one, graduating college and finally moving back home to the beach that claimed his parents lives. The closer Gabe and his best friend Corey get to the beach the stronger to pull is, the voice that calls Gabriel to the water. As afraid of the ocean as he is, he can't deny how calming the water feels when he's in it. He's also having very vivid dreams of an exotic man that calls to Gabriel's soul, loves him in ways Gabriel has never known and promises Gabe that he will never be alone.

After the accident that took Gabriel's parents, he's become a little cynical, he no longer believes in happiness or love, and he definitely doesn't swim. He is forced into the water to save a couple from drowning and his body literally comes alive under the waves. There there is the dream that is so vivid, so realistic, that Gabriel cannot stop thinking about the gorgeous man that took him in his sleep. Soon Gabriel realizes the water and the man are strongly linked as they are both linked to Gabriel. While Gabriel's body wants nothing more than to disappear into the depths of the ocean with his savior, his mind has other plans, the cynic in him refuses. But time on land is in short supply for Gabe, and the sooner he comes to terms with his destiny, the better.

My three favorite colors... short, sexy and steamy. An erotic little tale of a boy that runs from his destiny only to be drawn back to the place he belongs by circumstance and his subconscious. ​The writing in this story was insane! The way Aratare used words and phrases, the world that was created for Gabriel, always knowing exactly what he was feeling because the author expertly conveyed every emotion. I wasn't sure about the narrator for the first few minutes but then Patton found his footing and the story really took off from there. Gabriel is young, insecure and emotionally scarred because of his parents death. His mind and body are at war with each other when it comes to the water and Patton made sure the listener always knew exactly how young Gabe was feeling. And then the man's quiet but forceful nature that was explored with a sort of monotone but melodic voice, it was perfect for his character.

I'm excited to see where this series takes Gabriel. Will he learn to trust the man? Will he embrace his obvious destiny? I guess we will find out in the coming books. Definitely a must read for anyone that has a fascination with mermen or Paranormal Romance stories.

Awesome!

Book 1: Great story about a boy who hates water because of a tragic accident that kill his parents... but somehow he becomes different from that experience.

Book 2: Great continuation.... now we are finding out what is happening to Gabriel... but the professor.... dude... what is up with him?

Book 3: AWESOME!!! Finally we get some back information about Gabriel, the Mers and the settlement... But that Cliffhanger ending... C'mom.... when is Gabriel going down in the sea and meet his family down there? Seriously...

I hope there is only one more book.. because I am ready to meet the Mers!!!

Great narration... Awesome buy, credit or sale for all three books!

The story takes u threw hardtack to understanding to longing to just pure magical tid bits of a wonder of magical love

Yes I would. Who wouldn' like a story about the mermen so what if it's BL?The adventure alone is worth it.

It's as exciting as any supernatural story I've read.

I don't think so but I love his rendition of the many voices.

Mom & Dad, there love for themselves and their son & their struggle for life.

You'll know what I mean when you here this story :)

There's nothing in this book that is more than a confused young man and fables.

This book Honestly so much better than I thought it would be! Before I had even finished listening to it I went back and bought the rest of the series.

Chris Patton's voice is perfect for it to! He acts it out and gives every character their our manner of speaking that makes it that much more alive.

Gabriel is just adorable too! You can't help but love him!

God I love this story the second time I've done this book the storyline is a great story when I listen to the book so I can actually see it as if it was a movie

Exceeded expectations. Can't wait to get to the next book in this series! Narration is particularly exceptional. Will be looking for other books narrated by Chris Patton who makes the listener feel like you're right in the book!

really like the story just felt like it ended a little to soon. will read the others because I'm interested in the out come.
