About this ebook


The sequel to Fish Out of Water is a sexy, funny mystery about strength, love, and French fries.

When the clerk at a burger joint is assaulted for trying to sell a fish burger to a hot blonde, it's just the beginning of a clash between Land and Sea. The world is going mad, and Princess Lecanora is on a special mission to stop it. There are just a few complications...

First, life on the land is a bit harder to adjust to than expected, what with the wearing of clothing and the consuming of delicious (but pointless) calories. Second, the most evil magician the world has ever seen wants her as his bride – consensually or otherwise. Finally, a completely inappropriate gun–toting mercenary who goes against every one of her pacifist principles keeps rocking her world.

As the forces of darkness gather, Lecanora must come to terms with the lengths she will go to in order to save the sea home she has always known, and the land she has come to love.

First things first, read Fish Out of Water before this one. A) You will not be disappointed, and B) Beached will make more sense. I'm not going to get all up in your business and spoil your reading experience by spilling the story. Beached answers some of the questions I had left over from Fish Out of Water, as well as setting up the next tale in the Aegira Chronicles. I loved Lecanora for her sweetness and innocence, and in equal measure for the velvet sledgehammer side of her personality - the power she finds in herself as a result of what she goes through in the course of the story, without abandoning her gentle side. I enjoyed the romance between her and the dark and mysterious Doug. Two more different people on the surface you could not find, but I love how well they worked underneath it all. What works so well with this series are the colourful and vibrant characters that surround Lecanora - I was thoroughly chuffed to see more of Rania and her merman Carragheen, and I was hoping against hope that they all would find a way to defeat the patently evil Manos. There are moments of great humour and scenes that will break your heart. You will always be entertained.

Ros writes transporting stories about love, family, friendship and women in all their glorious strength and contrariness.

Ros lives in Brisbane's North with her husband Blair, four noisy children under eight, a neurotic dog and nine billion germs.
