"A Mythical Paranormal Romance"

Interior designer Chelsea Porter first meets mysterious, reclusive artist Nicolas Demitry at an art gallery opening. She is enchanted first by his painting of Poseidon, and then by the man himself -- the handsomest man she has ever seen. But Nicolas seems to have an awareness of Chelsea that disturbs her. She feels a pull coming from him that she doesn't understand. Several chance meetings later -- she still knows little about the mysterious artist and has to fight the powerful attraction that keeps drawing her to him.

There is a lot more to Nicolas than meets the eye. He has a dual life on land and sea. His paintings of the ocean's inhabitants reflect only a partial glimpse into who he is. He has waited for Chelsea for over one hundred years, and his need for her love is more than just personal. But he can't let her find out too quickly about the destiny that she must face and the dangerous trials she must pass. His entire future depends on winning her love and complete trust.

POSEIDON'S KISS is a very imaginative paranormal romance. After a somewhat slow start the mystery of Nicolas Demitry's identity is gradually revealed and we are drawn into Ms. Crease's colorful vision of the gods of the ocean. This book is a must read for those who enjoy inventive paranormal romance with a mythological twist.
