Summary: Good stuff but predictable
Comment: There is a certain charm about Gena Showalter's stories even though you can sort of guess the bare bones of the characters and plot without even opening the book. Girl - 25 (or looks it), virgin, headstrong and unusual looks, usually baring a tasteful tattoo. Bloke - rugged, overbaring, overprotective warrior/adventurer type who is instantly besotted with the heroine and spends a great deal of the story coming to terms with his feelings and persuading her to do the same. Somebody threatens the girl and boom, story.
The predictability is the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars because actually I did really enjoy The Nymph King. I like the very easy writing style and I laughed out loud at some of Shaye's lines.
It's definately worth a read if you just want a fluffy, undemanding, straight-forward sort of romance.

Summary: Fantastic!!
Comment: Considering I had never read a book by this author before and purchased on the spur of the moment - I was really impressed! I love mythology based stories and found this added a new twist on what I have previously read. I liked the characters and really got involved with the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes both romantic leads to have guts and real presence, whilst finding their way to each other. I have since ordered some other books by this author and I think after reading "The Nymph King" you will probably do the same.
If you enjoythis book then you may also enjoy Sherrilyn Kenyons Dark Hunter Series.
Happy Reading!

Summary: Easy read
Comment: This book is such a quick read, I got through it in a day. The story itself is very enjoyable, though I think Ms Showalter borrowed a few of her characterisations from Sharon Shinn's excellent 'Archangel'. Nevertheless, for a great holiday read this book is great and definately the best of the three Atlantis books.
Customer Rating:
Summary: worth less than a one star
Comment: Worse than a B-rated movie, it does not even deserve a one star. Plot is weak. Story-telling quality is annoyingly designed just for titillation at the expense of quality. Not worth the money in buying it no matter how cheap.
Customer Rating:
Summary: What a waste of time
Comment: I'd read the resume of this book, and the previous client review but was bitterly disappointed. With virtually no plot and little characterisation this book is just an excuse for mild titillation. The only point in its favour is that it doesn't take long to read
