I Married a Merman (Prime Mating Agency, #4)
Regine Abel
She belongs to a different world. Struck by a strange illness that confounds human doctors, Neera turns to alien physicians instead. The prognosis? She’s not what she always believed herself to be—Earth’s atmosphere is slowly killing her. Too broke to afford the insane cost of relocating to a new, more suitable world, Neera turns in desperation to the Prime Mating Agency. The match? A sexy merman, with pink scales, scarlet hair, and a voice that makes her toes curl. When Echo hears the Agency has finally found a match for him, he’s over the moon. Finding out his mate’s weakened health will require much caring and nurturing during her recovery has his protective instincts surging forward. Despite some initial awkwardness, her courage, resilience, and mischievous personality have him enthralled. But as Neera evolves into her true self, will this newfound haven become toxic for her as well? Will she be forced to leave behind the blossoming happiness she has found here with Echo?

-Neera is sick, and it turns out it’s because she’s not really human, and her mutation is causing her to evolve in a way not suitable for Earth’s atmosphere. She uses the Prime Mating Agency to match with Echo, who is on a planet that hopefully will be safe for her. He helps her through her change and they fall in love along the way.
[she turns out to be mutating into the other species but she changes her lungs with nanobots to stay with Echo. she’s able to get pregnant easily and unexpectedly, with unprecedented twin girls.]
-I kinda hated this book, which was a total surprise after books 1-3. It was hard to get past Neera not being human, especially since she brought almost zero human-ness to the relationship, and she was undergoing so many physical changes. After the marriage, Neera was suddenly a 12 year old child, using her pouty lips to get her way, stamping her foot and whining and screaming when she fell behind in a conversation.
I felt like the writing took a step back too–the writing and characters felt immature and weird; worldbuilding was still good. The whole book was Echo being patronizing and over-protective, though he had some sweet/caring moments, to me he filled the role of domineering teacher/parent who got to fuck the pupil = gross.
0Al principio estaba tan emocionada por leer algo que tuviera Sirenas, Tritones y animales marinos, y lo único que realmente me emociono fue la pareja de tritones gay que aparecen como en dos o tres capítulos.
0me gusta la tapa? no, porque no entiendo la necesidad de tener un tipo en cuero pero ok. es un romance de un nicho raro? también. me pareció sólida la construcción del mundo de los sirenos (2 escenas de sexo)
