ROMANTIC FANTASY AS SHE FOLLOWS HER LOVE BENEATH THE SEA Gina Taylor, who scouts tropical getaways for the rich and famous, goes for a swim on a tropical island and is caught in a riptide. She fears she's lost when a powerful swimmer manages to reach her in time and save her. She discovers he is a friend of Dano's, a dark eyed admirer she has just met. On shaking hands with her savior she notes the blue of his complexion and fears he has a breathing problem. The two men try to pass it off as a genetic anomaly, and reveal they are officers on a historic sailing ship, inviting her to lunch aboard their ship. She passes out at lunch and wakens to find Dano, and others with the blue tinged skins are aliens who have been living in secret in undersea domes for centuries--along with thousands of humans they saved at sea and their descendants. Soon Gina finds herself involved in politics and revolution and romance in the amazing world beneath the sea, as she falls in love with Dano. But is the handsome alien all appears to be? Who is behind the attempts to kill her, or a plot to lead the Aquans to conquest of the surface world. When the time comes, will Gina have the courage to take the desperate chance that will save her friends among the Aquans and her world? Here is a novel that wil thrill romance and fantasy lovers alike. Ayden Delacroix, writing for In the Library Reviews, hails the romances of Jac Eddins as: "Fast paced and attention-grabbing, changed my thoughts on [this type of] Romance. The characters weren't flat or predictible, they were alive, vibrant and full of surprises. … detailed descriptions and intriguing secondary characters."
