Take Me Away
Shrouded in mist, the hidden shoreline near her family's Maine estate is a place of refuge for Claire Bishop. There, she can forget the physical limitations imposed by a tragic accident and escape judgmental eyes. Yet someone is watching from the depths of the sea, a being who senses her inner despair and is drawn to help her. Prince Morgan, risen from the waves and as perfect a man Claire has ever laid eyes on. She is sure she has dreamed him into existence--Morgan's masculine beauty and sensual tenderness cannot be real. Then the dream overtakes reality. . .
With Morgan at her side, Claire is suddenly freed, swimming with him to a lost paradise, a fantastic underwater world with a sunken stone city at its heart. Soon the lovers find that their union has aroused the wrath of his warring clan--but Claire would rather die than return to her crippling life on earth, and Morgan will not live without the woman he adores. . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
While presenting a vividly detailed, supernatural world derived from Atlantis legends, this debut novel lacks spark and a distinctive voice. 29-year-old heiress Claire Bishop is permanently paralyzed from the waist down after a boating accident. Bitter and depressed, she leaves New York for Seaborne, an estate on Maine's coast that she had inherited from her grandmother. There, she spends her time staring at the ocean and wondering whether there's a point to living. What she doesn't know is that Morgan, a hunky, undersea prince, has been lustfully spying on her. When he musters up the courage to meet his landlocked love, Claire is inordinately attracted to him especially when he starts to come to her in erotic dreams and she finds she can walk in his undersea world. Between Claire facing down a scheming ex and overprotective father and Morgan battling against threats to his future throne, the two realize their destined passion together in steamy scenes. Irons paints the paranormal side of things with a meticulous and imaginative brush, creating uses for undersea creatures, both real and fictitious, that tickle the senses. Unfortunately, many scenes could have been tightened or cut, the writing style is dense and oddly old-fashioned, and the characters bring nothing new to the genre.
