The Mermaid of Penperro...
"The Mermaid of Penperro" is a fun romance, the perfect cure for when you have had a bad day. Konstanze and Tom have a wonderful, bantering relationship, with plenty of sexual tension to boot. Konstanze is like a bird that has just left the nest, testing her wings, poised for flight, and discovering her true self in her newfound freedom. Tom is an intelligent man, with a ready charm and mischievous streak. They make a good couple, and their time together had me smiling on more than one occasion.

THE MERMAID OF PENPERRO is a delightful romance as exhibiting the flights of imagination, which mark Lisa Cach's style. The amusing scam, the repulsive Bugg, and the budding romance combine in a light-hearted read certain to entertain the romance lover lookng for an original tale with a twist.

THE MERMAID OF PENPERRO is a fun story with a lot of humor - and a dash of whimsy thrown in for good measure.
...I hesitate to reveal details about Konstanze's mermaid persona, because those funny details add to the charm of the book and are much better encountered as surprises. Suffice it to say that this is a book with a lot of laughs, including a surprising one at the beginning, when Konstanze is still with her loathsome husband. There is a truly delightful scene later than involves Tom's vulnerability, but this too is much more fun for a reader to discover on her own.
This book has something of a bawdy side as well. Although there really is only one love scene, there is a lot of sexual tension between the main characters. Konstanze is relatively ignorant about sexual matters, and her curiosity is both funny and earthy at times.
Both main characters are interesting, and those who are tired of romances featuring the nobility will find this a nice change of pace.

"Ms. Cach makes this a wonderful and engaging tale with unique twists that
offer happy surprises. The wild Cornish coast and its one of a kind folk
come to distinct life under the author's pen, and her ability to create
toe-curling sexual tension make for a must-stay-up-and-read-till-dawn story."
Romantic Times
"I had a lot of fun reading THE MERMAID OF PENPERRO since the author has
such a great sense of humor.... It’s a wild tangle of love that sometimes
has you laughing out loud. You wonder how it will all come out! THE MERMAID
OF PENPERRO is a very enjoyable read! Tom and Konstanze are an adorable
couple who can't resist the power of love, and it gets them into a lot of
trouble too. <Grin>
Lisa Cach really brightens the romance genre with her mermaid story. Plenty
of good romance with some hearty laughs. Loved it!"

_________
"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 storyline 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.
