"Superb, Amusing, Entertaining!"
In 1804 Kent, England, John Bugg shows his spouse Konstanze
a book filled with naked women in bondage. He expects that
to heat her blood to the boiling point and gets his riding
crop to add to the fun. Unable to deal with her husband's
perversions, Konstanze leaves. She travels to Penperro on
the Cornish coast where Tom Trewella watches her come out
of the sea. In desperate need of tricking the crown's
Preventive Water Guards so he can continue his smuggling
operation, Tom hatches a wild idea. He offers Konstanze
the role of a mermaid, a part she cannot resist though she
knows she must stay hidden from Buggs. An attraction
between Tom and Konstanze was not expected, but feelings of
love further disrupt the con game. THE MERMAID OF PENPERRO is not the typical regency romance
as it reads as if PT Barnum decided to write a novel using
Lisa Cach's cache of talent. The story line is superb,
amusing, and quite entertaining as Tom, Konstanze, and the
townsfolk try to pull off a scam. Anyone who relishes
something unique and different in their reading material
will find this historical a
top choice.
