I have been waiting so patiently for this book and it was so worth the wait. I have absolutely loved this series and sad to see it is over... I want more of these two characters. They have hidden their feeling for eachother for 4 years . They each have loved each other from afar but no more.. maeve is stubborn and won't give up.. she will will do anything to win Brody, even if it's for the 2 hours..she knows she is ment for him. Brody won't step into his roll until his curse if lifted, he won't let himself love fully until he knows he can give his all....
These two character's fight together to be together.. they battle their enemy's together...
This was a great read, a page turner , and kept my attention through the whole book.. did not want it to end.

I like shifters so when I saw this romance novel the concept sounded very good, I have to admit I was not disappointed. What I didn't realize was that this is the SECOND book in a series. The first book is "How to Love Your Elf in The Embraced by Magic series. Each book in the series tells the story about one of five sisters, the second book is about Maeve and Brody. You can read this book as a stand-alone, I can't do that. I like that Maeve and Brody were both strong in their own ways but complemented each other so well. I love the fact that they both tried to protect each other subverting the damsel in distress trope. I would definitely give this series a shot. You can start with this book or you can start with the first book in the series, either way, you can't go wrong.

Brody tries to be manly, but it often doesn't work out for him, “well, yes. A little.” He waved a dismissive hand. “At the moment. Any man would. You’re naked. And you’re the most beautiful woman in all of Aerthlan.” I liked this book, I loved Brody.

I have read all the novels in the Embraced series by Ms. Sparks and have enjoyed every single one. All good things must come to an end and this novel did not disappoint! I was enthralled from beginning to end and looking forward to Maeve and Brody's story. Both were in love with each other for years, but could never admit it to the other. Brody was cursed and Maeve was expected to marry well, but fate had other plans. Maeve had no idea who here parents were, but discovers much about herself and her abilities in this novel. Brody has his own secrets that get revealed and discovers new things with his shifting abilities. The Circle of Five and the Chameleon have terrorized many for too long and it is up to Maeve, Brody, and their friends to stop them. Still, some secrets are going to cause trouble for Brody and Maeve, but their love and loyalty to each other is strong. Ms. Sparks does a wonderful job in building the plot which results in a great showdown between good and evil. A wonderful series, which each sister carving their own path to true love and happiness.
I received this novel as an ARC from net galley and the publisher. Thank you! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Although I gave How to Love Your Elf "only" a four-star-rating (after three five-star-ratings for the other Embraced books), I was still very happy to see the last part of the series on Netgalley. And the moment the ARC was granted, I kinda dropped everything and dove in. Because FINALLY I would get to the bottom of Brody's story. And Kerrelyn didn't disappoint. In the ending of the series, all the sisters and their spouses make their appearance and we get a real big finale.
So, I don't want to spoil the story for you (because it is way to awesome!!), I can only advise you to read the whole series and enjoy the ride! Very sad that the series has ended now, but I really enjoyed it. One of my favorite series by far. Six out of five stars and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc. Please bring us another series, as good as this one Kerrelyn!

**I was provided an Excerpt by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for honest review.**

Reader's Note: This is the final book of the Embraced Series. It's labeled as Book 2, but it's actually Book 5 in a fabulous series published by two separate publishers.

Since How To Tame A Beast in Seven Days (Book 1), I have wanted to know Brody's story. How did he get cursed? Who cursed him? What was his history? FINALLY I get my answers!! Brody's history is tragic, but this story is all about happy endings and new beginnings.

Maeve is a heroine I can get behind. Brave and fearless, she's not one to sit on the sidelines and let the men do the work for her. Tired of being left behind, she decides to take matters into her own hands. In the process, she discovers her own origins and paves the way for her own happy ending.

I love these books. Every one of them were wonderful, and I keep wanting more. The Siren and the Deep Blue Sea is an amazing end to the series. While I want to see more tales from Aerthlan, I can't wait to see what Kerrelyn Sparks has in store of her readers!

The Embraced Series:
How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days (Book 1)
So I Married a Sorcerer (Book 2)
Eight Simple Rules for Dating a Dragon (Book 3)
How to Love Your Elf (Book 4)
The Siren and the Deep Blue Sea (Book 5)

The Siren and the Deep Blue Sea is the finale of the Embraced series. I have loved and adored every book in this series and really come to appreciate this author and I can’t wait to see what she has up next. She has done great in writing this epic fantasy series. And its been one wild fun sexy ride. I was really excited to see how Kerrelyn Sparks would handle the final book in the “Embraced” series and I am downright fully satisfied in every way after reading this book and I just couldn’t put this one down.

Our story begins with our last embraced “Maeve” who is the youngest and treated like the “baby” of the group. Maeve hasn’t seen Brody in months and no one else but her seems to be worried about him. But when he misses their monthly swim which he has never missed she knows that something must be wrong. And so Maeve goes in search for Brody and her search leads her down a path to the Sea Witch and the truths of who her parents really are and her destiny. Brody is searching for the Embraced Army and the Sea Witch to find her and break this curse. But when he visits the “Seer” a man who is more like a father to him, he gets the truth about who Maeve really is and her parentage. And his path and Maeve’s leads them down to the Isle of Secrets and the sea witch herself. But can Maeve and Brody and the group effort of their friends be enough to defeat her?

The Siren and the Deep Blue Sea is such a epic filled story and I loved every single part of it. It has so many fun elements that I just love seeing in a romance. And Kerrelyn Sparks has done wonders with this book. I was really worried before reading this one because I was curious how she would do with Brody and Maeve’s book but I can say this …..its one of the best books in the WHOLE series and really one of the best of all of her books. I think this comes in second to “I Married A Sorcerer” (which those who know my feedback on this series knows that book is my favorite) but really this is a real close tie to that installment.

I truly loved seeing Brody and Maeve come together ….finally. Their story has been building up over the past four books. I love seeing all the secrets revealed about these two. Who are both secret royalty and we see more behind the scenes on their parents which was truly enlightening. I did get a kick out of seeing the way Maeve just stands up to Brody and I love seeing her do that. She knows what she needs to do and even though Brody wants to protect her ….there are secrets he can’t protect her from even if it might hurt her. But Maeve has such courage and passion and love seeing her search for the truth and for justice. And she is perfect for her future role because she will become the most powerful of them all. I love how fiercely she is willing to fight for those that she loves and most especially Brody.

From beginning to end the story is engaging and pulls you in very quickly. I love how the plot thickens with each chapter and I was really captivated in seeing how this author penned this story and the way that she takes us on this fun adventure. I especially loved in the way that Brody and Maeve somehow are so intune with each other despite how their paths in the beginning seem to be so different but their goals end up being the same in the end.

This book however has one of the best ENDING I have ever read in romance. My goodness, this ending had me in BUCKETS of tears, and it wasn’t tears of sadness….it was of joy. Just seeing what Maeve is capable of and how she is able to heal those around her just sealed the deal for me. It just wrapped me up in the majestic world our author has created for us and I never wanted to let go of this bright and beautiful gem that captivated my soul from beginning to end. A SOUL MATE OF A READ TO INDUGLE IN!

this was a wonderful finish for a wonderful series. So sorry it had to end. Maeve and Brody were always meant to be together and it finally happens. They both had a lot to face and overcome but with great friends(other stories) they were able to do just that. If you get a chance read the whole series. Ymmm

This book should come with a warning do not pick up unless you are ready to not be able to put it down till you finish the book( PS. I read the book in one day did not get much sleep last night). . The final book in the world of the Aerthlan. The long awaited love story of the younger sister Maeve and Brody the shiftier. During all the other books we have seen the interaction between Maeve and Brody and how they have both grown now it is time to learn the secret behind Maeve birth and how Brody got cursed and who is the chameleon? It not often that a series end as strong as it began. This book offers a thrilling story of adventure while offering both growth of story while also closing loose ends. I also like the second romance between captain Nevis and Elinor I high will be recommending this book, One of the best things about this book is that all the piece where there we just needed help put them together.

I have loved this series and hated to see it end. This is a romantic fantasy series and I loved all of the characters in each series. This series contains it all: Romance,fantasy, shape shifters, dragons and a wonderful story line. Highly recommended

Kerrelyn Sparks is such a brilliant writer, but her fantasy works have proved a bit hit-or-miss for me. The Siren and the Deep Blue see somehow managed to be both! When I read the bit in the synopsis about the hero only being in human form for 2 hours a day, I knew that this was going to be a hard sell, but I am glad I powered through. The spectacular moments in this story outshine everything else, and I finished this book with all of the warm fuzzies I was hoping for. 4 Stars.
