About this listen

Gabriel Braven is a merman, but he does not believe it.

Gabriel should have drowned twice in his life, but he survived. Casillus Nerion, his beautiful merman savior, tells him the reason for this is simple: Gabriel is a merman. Long ago, a Braven ancestor fell in love and had a child with a powerful merman. This child did not inherit the Mer gifts, but Gabriel has.

Despite seeing inexplicable physical changes to his body when he gets wet and having trouble breathing when there is plenty of air, Gabriel’s head tells him that Mer, like love, do not exist. Ironically, both beliefs are being tested at the same time, as he tries to tell himself that the pounding of his heart when he even thinks of Casillus is imaginary, too.

But whether Gabriel believes or not, Casillus tells him one more devastating fact: the Mer live forever, but unless Gabriel goes into the ocean with him in four days, Gabriel will die.

Can Gabriel accept the truth before it’s too late? Can he open his heart to the merman that saved him? Can he believe Casillus’ words over their mental link that the Mer will never leave Gabriel? Or will he deny himself Casillus and his true nature until his last breath?

Good but

It has so much potential. The bond between the two mc is a bit fast but I assume it’s cause the magic so that’s an easy thing to not be concerned about. However, I don’t understand the releasing of such small parts. Part 1 and 2 possibly even 3 could’ve been combined and it would’ve been nicer. They’re only about $5 each so I don’t get why you have to buy individual parts.
I like the world the author has built for the most part. It’s just little things that are annoying. Nothing is ever really explained and you’re still kind of trying to figure everything out and then the book is over.

Format still weird, but the sex is hot

Still confused by the format. It feels like one book split into parts and sold separately, or a longform serial with a planned ending. It's better than volume one, and the love scene and intimacy is hot, so there's that.

Things really heat up in this book!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Acceptance?

The bath tub scene!

My Head Is Swimming

Chris puts it all out there. His performance captures the passions in the words. X. Aratare's paint such a colorful and emotional picture. I am excited to listen to the next canvass and feel the next Seascape.

Really Enjoyable Series, Chris Patton is Lovely

Totally enjoying this series. It's sweet how the story is progressing and while the plot is following the pattern I'd expect, I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

I'm sure some of the reason I'm liking this one so hard is due to Chris Patton's soothing and engaging narration.

On to the next one!
