Blurb:

Taking her own life wasn't on Liliana's agenda when she planned her 3-day luxury cruise itinerary with her boyfriend and their two best friends. But when she witnesses her best friend sleeping with her boyfriend, she can no longer handle the crushing weight of her life and throws herself overboard. She wasn't expecting to be taken by two monsters, a Kraken and a two-legged wolven-like beast. Now they won't let her go until she gives them a chance to prove she not only wants to live, but live with them forever. Will they succeed, or will they be forced to let their chosen mate go?

Review:

When I picked up this book, I did not realize how short of a story this would be. The roughly 80 pages were not enough to develop any character, offer a plot to enjoy, and make the romance feel rushed. Thus I did not see any believability in any of it. Like the characters were just there for a PWP (plot? What plot? Porn without plot). Any connections to the characters were nonexistent. I wish this one had been a bit more thought out for a possible standalone or a series. I think it would have been a lot more of darker and more exciting story than what was given.
