I’d give 10 stars if I could!
Ahhh! I completely loved every single moment in this story! It was so sad at times, feeling like there could be no possible happy ending. Other times, the hope and possibilities were nearly overwhelming. Jett is such a dark character, seemingly unredeemable, while Becky is so bubbly and cheerful, all while hiding a secret. Together, they’re hot and sexy, explosive and tempestuous... I’m dying for the next story!

So I decided to follow [b:A Nurse for the Wolfman|43192251|A Nurse for the Wolfman (Chimera Secrets #1)|Eve Langlais|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546351950l/43192251._SY75_.jpg|67017768] with Guarding the Mermaid. It was also an enjoyable read. I was expecting more "mermaid time" but I think the author made the right choice in terms of story and relationship development. The timeline of this one was somewhat concurrent with A Nurse for the Wolfman and it was interesting seeing the same events from different perspectives. Once again, Dr. Chimera knows more than we think and I am curious where the story will go next.

So I expected more ‘guarding’ of the mermaid... but turns out he only guards a mermaid at like 83% because the vast majority of this book she’s still completely human. There is a scene of them having sex with her as a mermaid... but honestly not what I expected from the title and the cover. Even the chapter pictures in the book, it was a mermaid with a tail & she doesn’t even have a tail in the book?
Overall I can’t give more than a 3 because I felt bamboozled into thinking this was a mermaid romance when it wasn’t, AND there’s a huge chunk of this (again I think it was at least 50%) that was basically a rehash of the time in book one? Yes, it’s a different couples perspective, but I don’t need to rehash all those convos again and see stuff I’ve seen I personally prefer it to continue in time not revert back.
Also I hate how good Eve is at the last page of all her books. Even when I find them just an OK read, the last page ALWAYS hooks me into the concept of the next book, and more often than not, even when I think I’ll love it, I really don’t but I continue to get suckered into another book lol.

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
The end almost had me disappointed, but then Langlais hit it with just the right the amount of dark to appease me lol. This is a read in order series even if the first and second books are happening on the same or similar timeline. I appreciated that the mad scientist is shown not to be omniscient, it would have been boring if that persisted.

I admit it, I have a thing for evil scientists and their experiments. So of course I was going to make a reading this series a MUST read. The first book didn't disappoint, but this one was a little slow to start for me. (I admit it as much as I like evil scientists I dislike reporters looking for a scoop- they are often so shallow and self centered!)
That said, I kept at it partly simply because I pictured Dwayne Johnson (and his raised eyebrow) as the hero Jett. Once the story got going though it really sucked me in. I loved Jett and Becky's story; sympathized with her situation; and loved the solution they chose for their life.
Now the LONG (two week) wait for the next in this fun series.
