Sea Fever

Lucy Hunter has been content playing in her garden and being a school teacher. A child of the land, happy thinking she is mortal. Now she discovers she is apart of an ancient battle between elementals. That she is not a child of land, or a mortal, but a descendent of the children of Sea and part Selkie. Conn, the prince of the Selkie, has come for Lucy. She is the child of the prophecy, the one that will save them all. He will do whatever it takes to bring Lucy to sanctuary and protect her from the children of fire - even kidnapping. He feels more than just passing friendship for Lucy but has learned winning the battle is not laying your heart open to love. Can Lucy convince him that he is wrong before his attitude drives her away and the future of all the children of Sea forever? Sea Lord is the third Children of the Sea novel by Virginia Kantra. I particularly loved this one and you do not have to read the others in the series to understand this novel - it is a true stand alone. Conn has a hardened tough exterior which reminds of the coolness of the ocean - seems cold to the touch but inside it is teaming with life. Lucy is very much the sunlight to Conn's coolness. She never realized her entire family has had superpowers that she came from a line of Children from the Sea. She has no clue about this Great War. She is completely taken by surprise by Conn. His sex appeal has her enamored, but his heart keeps her around as she sees the man within the Prince. When you want love, action, adventure and mystery you want to read Sea Lord!

This book was great. It was by far the best of the three. I enjoyed it alot. Kantra is a talented writer and I look forward to her next book.

Virginia Kantra gets better and better! In the third installment of her "Children of the Sea" saga, Kantra ups the suspense, the sensuality and the sheer emotional impact to levels only a master story teller can sustain. The characters are well drawn and believable (even the mythical ones-no small feat), the drama tight and fast-paced, and the romance heartfelt and satisfying. And Kantra's writing is simply lovely-crisp and delightfully evocative. Sea Witch and Sea Fever were great reads, and Sea Lord surpasses them both. Read Sea Lord. You won't be disappointed.

Regina Barone's hopes for finding Mr. Right go out the window as Caleb Hunter, the last eligible single man on the island, ties the knot with island newcomer Margred (Maggie). Judging men had never been her strong suit anyway, accounting for her status as a single mother of five year old Nick. At least Caleb had been pleased with her catering efforts and had given her the rest of the evening off. And so she slips off with a bottle of wine to wallow in her woes, but not for long. Out of the darkness appears a man she'd been two young to remember, Dylan Hunter, Caleb's long lost brother. Beware Regina, for although the sexy newcomer is undoubtedly different from anyone you've ever met, what he is looking for tonight is not commitment. Dylan Hunter is a man of mystery to be sure. When Alice Hunter (a.k.a. Atargatis) had left her husband along with Caleb and his sister Lucy, she had taken the oldest son Dylan with her. When Dylan has reached puberty at thirteen he'd discovered his parents' secret the hard way. Imagine a teenaged boy suddenly transforming into a creature that he had never even known existed. Shortly thereafter Dylan had discovered his mother's pelt and returned it to her. She had taken him back with her to the sea. Imagine a confused teenaged boy opened up to a whole new world, a world of wonder beneath the waves where he would be immortal and never age. He draws his own conclusions and turns his back on the father he believed had betrayed his mother in the worst possible way. When Dylan's mother drowns a year later in a fisherman's net, his resentment against the humans builds further. He is then fostered by the selkie prince Conn ap Llyr. Dylan sees the world in black and white. Either you are human or you are selkie. He is selkie; the family he'd left behind was human. He'd not given them much thought since. However, in reality the half breed selkie doesn't completely fit into his adopted world either. His heritage is a little too human for him to be considered for the prince's elite guard, the position he covets most. His selkie magic is weak as well and when he is finally given an important mission it just has to be in World's End, Maine. The peaceful island fishing town where he'd spent his childhood had recently experienced a fire demon attack. Two selkie females had been attacked, one brutally murdered. The other, Margred had been rescued by his brother Caleb and two had fallen madly in love. Dylan had followed Margred to the island and now chafing in his human wedding attire, he goes in seach of what selkies desire most, sex, and happens upon a lonely and slightly drunk Regina. It doesn't take much of Dylan's considerable seduction capabilities to convince her as Regina has been alone for a very long time, unfortunately neither is thinking of birth control until it's too late. Dylan plans to walk away and not look but then he is assigned the job to discover the reason for the sudden shift in the balance among the element

Regina Barone is lonely. She is a single mom raising her eight years old son Nick while working as a cook at her mom's lobster shack on the Maine barrier island World's End where she was born. She has no personal life at all and no hope for one in the future as she personally understands the name of her home. While the town celebrates a wedding, a depressed Regina sneaks away to get drunk at the beach; she miserably thinks she has no one to share her bottle with. However that proves wrong because Dylan, brother to the groom police chief Caleb Hunter, is also on the beach getting away from the festivities. His ruler the Selkie Prince sent him here to investigate a demon existence. The human and the Selkie are attracted to one another, but neither see a long term relationship brewing between them until danger makes both reassess their priorities. This direct sequel to SEA WITCH is a fantastic romantic fantasy as Virginia Kantra enables the readers to look deep into the souls of a lonely single human mom and a Selkie. The story line enables the reader as we did in previous Children of the Sea tales to believe in the existence of Selkie and half-breed Selkie. Fans will enjoy this fine thriller as Selkie are a commitment phobic species as Dylan keeps on reminding himself even while he suffers from SEA FEVER caused by his attraction to a surface dweller.
