Blurb: Raef, a lonely merman, spends his days watching the dashing Lord Haverford from afar and dreaming of love. When Haverford is robbed by a pirate, Raef vows to reclaim the stolen goods, hoping his victory will buy him the happiness he yearns for with Haverford. But Jon Kemp does not match what Raef knows about pirates, and the simple quest Raef anticipated turns out to be an epic journey. For while Jon might be a nobler man than Raef believed, he’s still a pirate. Love and loyalty are not on Jon’s agenda, and he certainly has no plans to love someone not entirely human … Review: When the elders of his mertribe tell Raef he must marry and foster babies, Raef vows it won’t happen and instead, leaves his tribe to find the love he’s always wanted, which leads him to the shores of Lord Haverford’s home. Watching Haverford for a summer, Raef fancies himself in love with the dashing lord but cautious in approaching the lord for fear of rejection. When pirates steal a precious ring from Haverford, Raef believes it’s the perfect opportunity to attract Haverford’s attention. All Raef has to do is steal the ring back. Unfortunately, that proves easier said than done when Raef’s caught in the act and held aboard the pirates’ ship. But while he’s there, Raef’s feelings of love and loyalty start to waver when the captain of the ship, Jon Kemp, shows Raef more kindness than pirates should. And when Raef learns why Jon stole the ring and who Haverford really is, it confuses Raef’s intentions even more. When Jon gives him the opportunity to help, will that lead Raef to a love that’s real or a future heartbreak? Oh, how I adored this story! And I will freely admit that my little summary does not do the book justice AT ALL. You may be thinking that the book is more about Haverford than Jon but, no, that’s not the case. In fact, this is a love story through and through with Raef and Jon circling around the very real connection between them. Raef goes through a lot to come to terms with what he believes love is and he’s so stuck on having a prince of his own that he won’t even think of Jon as anything but the barbarian pirate who stole from HIS lord. Thankfully, Raef realizes that not everything he learned as a kid was true and that growing up to believe all kluggites (what the merpeople call pirates) are evil is very inaccurate. Jon is the opposite and doesn’t believe in love at all. He’ll never marry and he’ll never have a long-term lover. After all, Jon’s a pirate who doesn’t keep his treasure. Who’s to say he won’t get bored of Raef soon enough and toss him aside for another? (He doesn’t THANK GOD!) I loved the constant struggle Raef had on believing and helping Jon. It was interesting to see how Raef would vow not to feel anything for Jon but then get jealous or angry over the thought of someone else having Jon. I just absolutely adored Raef because, as a merman, he’s very innocent and naive when it comes to humans. There was a huge language barrier between Raef and the humans so he didn’t understand half of what was being said even if they were speaking English! I found that so funny and cute because he would take phrases or words literally. At the same time, I loved Jon because he wasn’t the classic pirate. Sure, he was once that barbarian pirate but now he’s more of a Robin Hood pirate – taking from the rich to give to the poor. He’s rich enough himself that now he helps the lower class whenever he can. Like in this book where he’s trying to help a woman claim her birth right from the slimy Lord Haverford. Overall, this was a book filled with rich detail, suspenseful adventures and a slow burn love story. The connection between Raef and Jon is intense and sweet and I loved that they had such feelings for each other but were afraid to accept those emotions. It was a sweet moment when they finally embraced what was right in front of them. At the same time, the piratical adventures they go on were blazes of fun, with amusing moments tossed in here and there. I loved the world that was created and how the mertribe still played a role in the end. I hope one day the author will consider revisiting this world because I’d love to see more of Jon and Raef and all of the Alice O’Shanty pirates one day soon. Overall Impression: It was amazing! *I received a copy of this book from the publisher in return for a fair and honest review.* Kay Berrisford’s “The Merman and the Barbarian Pirate” Is A Fun And Highly Recommended Read. Blurb : Raef, a lonely merman, spends his days watching the dashing Lord Haverford from afar and dreaming of love. When Haverford is robbed by a pirate, Raef vows to reclaim the stolen goods, hoping his victory will buy him the happiness he yearns for with Haverford. But Jon Kemp does not match what Raef knows about pirates, and the simple quest Raef anticipated turns out to be an epic journey. For while Jon might be a nobler man than Raef believed, he’s still a pirate. Love and loyalty are not on Jon’s agenda, and he certainly has no plans to love someone not entirely human … Review : Kay Berrisford’s The Merman and the Barbarian Pirate might sound like a classic bodice ripper, but it isn’t. It is, by turns, whimsical, dramatic, and even thought-provoking—a blend of fairy tale, high sea adventure, and cautionary tale. All right, yes, it does have a touch of the bodice ripper, but it’s a very light and self-aware one. I can imagine Berrisford giving us a wink and a nudge whenever scenes arise that would normally precede a breathless ravishing (good and bad) and then breezily turning us down a different path from what’s expected. Only slightly different, though, because despite the engaging effervescence of the story, complications tend to hew to familiar tropes, and a number of plot turns and revelations are somewhat contrived. There are secrets and misunderstandings as well as a good deal of inner struggles in Raef, whose point of view guides us through the novel. He’s the classic innocent about to have his world turned upside-down, his idealized views suffering a bit of a battering. It’s for this reason those misunderstandings and secrets are able to work despite their being an overused romantic complication. It’s also for this reason we get to enjoy – and empathize with – painful lessons he learns about human nature, physical beauty, love, and willful ignorance. Despite his naïveté, Raef’s no dummy, and when he’s burned, he knows to back away from the fire again and again and again. And though he still suffers from an occasional error in judgment, he’s quick to realize it and is always proactive in turning things around.

  • Sixteenth Century Cameo in Eighteenth Century Ring POA
    www.graysantiques.co.uk Sixteenth century cameo in eighteenth century ring POA Ca 1580-1600 agate cameo of a merman / male equivalent of a mermaid / The eighteenth century gold and silver ring is with two small diamonds in silver setting positioned on either side of the cameo.Perhaps the first recorded merman was the early Babylonian sea-god Ea, whose Sumerian Enki, and was known to the Greeks as Oannes. Oannes had a fish head and man’s head beneath, and both a fish tail and man like legs, according to Berossus.[a][1] The fish god Dagon of the Philistines, with a fish-tailed body, may derive its origins from these earlier Mesopotamian gods.[2] Greco-Roman mythology[edit] Further information: Triton (mythology) Triton with a Nymph Triton of Greek mythology was depicted as a half-man, half-fish merman in ancient Greek art. Triton was son of the sea-god Poseidon and sea-goddess Amphitrite. Neither Poseidon nor Amphitrite were merfolk, although both were able to live under water as easily as on land. Tritons later became generic mermen, so that multiple numbers of them were depicted in art.[3][4] Triton were also associated with using a conch shell in the later Hellenistic period.[5] In the 16th century, the Triton was referred to as “trumpeter of Neptune (Neptuni tubicen)” in Marius Nizolius’s Thesaurus (1551),[6][b] and this phrase has been use in modern commentary.[7] The Elizabethan period poet Edmund Spenser referred to Triton’s “trompet” as well.[8] Another notable merman from Greek mythology was Glaucus.
