Summary: I enjoyed it!
Review: Beth had been a young girl living in Grey Gallows when she was rescued from drowning in her beloved sea. Somehow she knew her briefly seen rescuer had been a selkie! Many years later, Beth returned to Grey Gallows. She never knew the selkie had kept watch over her all those years. Beth was the mate he had chosen! *** A magical romance to sweep a reader of her feet! I read this one while sitting on the beach, listening to the waves crash upon the shore. Tess Farraday wrote in such a lovely way that for a brief time I almost believed in selkies. An unforgettable story! ***

Summary: This is an astoundingly magical book - a page turner.
Review: I abosolutely loved the magic Ms. Farraday put in this book. I was cheering so hard for Gordon and Beth to come together that I could not put this book down until I was finished. I highly recommend reading this book.

Summary: A big yawn
Review: I brought this book for romance and magic. I was sadly disappointed. The romance was a bore and the magic was practically non-existant.

Summary: this book has basically no plot and no sex , waste of time!
Review: I can't believe I wasted my time reading this book. why whould someone even want to think about writing this novel. Hell, even killing baby seals would have been more important in the cosmic scheme of things than this novel. why would anyone waste so much time and words?

Summary: Selkies Rule!
Review: I love books about the mythic selkies from Jane Yolen's "Greyling" , to Anne Stuarts "A Dark and Stormy Night" to Christina Dodd's "A Well Favored Gentlemen". Their intrinsic beauty and spirit makes you wish they were real. Gordon Henson's character is no exception. How could you not love a man who names himself after a Sesame Street Character and the muppets creator. His innocence of heart is as appealling as the wildness of his nature. I also think his restraint is refreshing. He puts winning his love's mind and heart over lust for her body. Truly romantic.

Summary: Sighs....
Review: I've recently discovered the fantasy/romance genre from my usual historical ones, so I was pretty excited at reading about selkies. After all, the plot sounded really interesting. Maybe it's just me, but from the very beginning, I was bored to death. On one hand, you have these two adults who are attracted to each other, but they just don't really do ANYTHING about it. Frankly, I was really turned off by the fact that the guy was really naive when it came to landdwellers (us humans) as compared to his world of sea. After all, he was able to live among us...I really had to struggle thru the book, and found it perfect for the young children to read as there wasn't anything in there that could really classify the book for adults only. Even the brief moment when they actually had sex (towards the very end, mind you) it was so vague as to leave one wondering what actually happened here. Overall, I rate this book as very sweet, but no dice in the romance department.
