His Little Barmaid
by Taylor Holloway
His Little Barmaid is a great twist on a classic fairy-tale. I loved how all the key parts of the story were related back to the Little Mermaid, with the villain Ursula, the helpful friend Sebastian and Ariel with her beautiful voice which was stolen from her.
Ariel dreams of making it in Hollywood. Singing, dancing and acting is her passion, so one night when working at Sebastian's karaoke bar, she sings and catches the attention of Ursula. Ursula needs Ariel's voice for her latest musical movie and in return will give her a chorus girl part, but it must remain a total secret that Ursula isn't singing her own parts. Ariel, eager to have her foot in the door of Hollywood movies accepts and signs immediately on the dotted line.
After a chance encounter, she meets Derek Prince, the male lead in the movie, and her crush since she was a teenager. There spark is instant and they are keen to see where it goes, but Ursula and the production company have other ideas. Drama ensues, with sabotage happening left, right and centre, secrets being kept and blackmail being handed out. Will Ariel and Derek be able to get through the hard times and come out stronger and as a couple in the end? Or will Ursula win and drive them apart? Will Ariel ever get her voice back and the recognition she deserves?
This was such a fun read, with lots of twists and turns, drama and a lot of love too! It's such a clever adaptation and I will be reading the other modern day fairy-tales in this series as soon as I can!
