Synopsis (Goodreads):
HER INSPIRATION AND HER PASSION…

Three months ago, Aymee had no idea the kraken — half-human sea dwellers — even existed. Now, the violet eyes of the kraken Arkon haunt her imagination, and she longs to know his touch. But word of his people has spread beyond The Watch, and Aymee’s attraction to Arkon may endanger the safety of human and kraken alike. To protect him, can she bring herself to forsake him? Is her desire for Arkon worth putting both their worlds at risk?

HIS MUSE AND HIS JEWEL…

Arkon has spent his life in the pursuit of knowledge. Then he met Aymee and found a new quest: to make her his. She inspires him, draws him in, dominates his thoughts. When he finally builds the courage to approach her, she’s everything he imagined and more. But a group of murderous humans are hunting the kraken, and continued contact with Aymee may destroy them both. Now that he’s tasted her sweetness, he can’t give her up…but can he risk his world and his people to satisfy his need for her?
Thoughts on Jewel of the Sea: So, guys. I REALLY like these kraken and how some of them are working to find a better way of life for themselves and their people, but HOLY WOW Arkon and Aymee took some risks. I mean, I get it. I honestly understand what drove them to keep meeting one another, but THE DANGER. Those hunters weren't messing around and...well, wait. Some of the hunters weren't. Randall was okay. Just, you know, err, hunter-y.

Anyway. THE RISK. Meeting on the beach when there were hunters in town was dangerous. Again, I get it and I totally applaud that they both made a conscious decision to embrace the risk, but I was internally squirming a bit at the danger they were putting themselves in.

And when things fell apart (as things tend to do), they took the plunge (almost literally) and embraced the free life. They also did some embracing of one another. Plus, you know, other things.

I'm loving the broken facilities the kraken live in (seriously, I have so much love for broken remnants of a forgotten age that my heart actually beats faster when I come across them) and that the kraken (or at least some of them) are starting to see that they need to try something new if they hope to survive and thrive as a people.

Onto the next book.
