Christmas in Atlantis by Alyssa Day – a Review
Description:
The Gift of the Magi…in Atlantis
Warrior-turned-pirate Dare is the black sheep of all Atlantis. He’s enraged Poseidon, the sea god, so much that he had to forfeit his ship and the water spirit who inhabits it. For Dare, being denied the ocean is worse than death. Until he meets a woman who drowns him in waves of hunger more powerful than the sea.
After the accident that killed her parents and blinded her, Lyric discovered she had a special gift—that of song sight. She now sees the world in her own unique way, and is able to discover the rarest of artifacts. One, containing a single Wish, could make all her dreams come true. Or it could deliver to Dare—the man she’s falling in love with—the thing he most desires.
It’s the season of miracles in Atlantis. A chance to make wishes come true . . .
But whose wish?
Review:
Christmas in Atlantis by Alyssa Day is part of her new Poseidon’s Warriors series, in which she will be doing a book in every month of 2018. We can look forward to more fun in Atlantis with some of our favorites from the past (Warriors of Poseidon). Christmas in Atlantis was a fun quick paranormal romance that you can enjoy and finish in one sitting.
We meet our hero, Dare, on his ship as they are trying to survive a terrible storm. Dare and his water spirit, Seranth do everything they can to save the crew, as well as asking the Sea God, Poseidon for help. But when Dare goes overboard, he calls for the Atlantis portal to escape.
Lyric Fielding is our heroine, who is blind and a famous painter; she is also a gem singer. Lyric has been dating Dare for 5 years, and knows that she has fallen in love with him. She has been anxiously waiting almost a year for him to return home from his trip, and plans to approach him about her feelings.
Dare ends up at Lyric’s house all wet, and feverish. Lyric takes care of him, and during his feverish ramblings, he professes his love. What follows is a sweet romance, with a wonderful couple, especially Lyric, who was a fun and brave heroine. Dare will bring Lyric to Atlantis, fulfilling a dream for her and it is there that the fun begins for us when we see most of our favorites from Atlantis. Lyric was in her glory being in Atlantis, and meeting Queen Riley and the others, who welcomes her openly. Dare was beside himself when he learns that Poseidon was taking away his ship and his water spirit. Will Lyric and Dare stay together? Will Dare find a way to get his beloved ship back?
Being a huge fan of Warriors of Poseidon, I was thrilled that Alyssa would be bringing us back to Atlantis. Christmas in Atlantis was a fun read, with a heroine that was so likable; a romance that was heartwarming, filled with love and sacrifice, as well as enjoying the wonderful secondary characters. If you enjoy a sweet pure romance, some excitement and a great couple, I suggest you read Christmas in Atlantis. Thank you Alyssa for bringing us back home to Atlantis.
