Hunted for my present. Haunted by my past. Loved by a nightmare.


I already died once. Changed twice. After everything, I just want to keep the life I have now.

Already not an easy feat by any means for a fugitive mermaid stranded on land, but one made even harder when my former sisters send a private investigator to hunt me down.

Seeing I’m in trouble, my dashing Italian boss at the ice-cream parlor offers me a way to escape the clutches of my past.

All I have to do, is open up.

But revealing the taint of my previous life…

What if that’s precisely the thing that sends him running in the other direction?

Because who I was…

I wasn’t just unlovable.

I was a natural predator—with men like him as my prey.

PARADISE OF SHADOWS AND DEVOTION is a steamy standalone paranormal romance set in Gaja J. Kos's Kolovrat Universe. If you're a fan of mermaids, dragon shifters, mythology, and scorching hot chemistry, you won't want to miss out on this one!

This story has Danger,Intrigue, romance and adventure with a lot of other amzing things going on threw the whole story. I highly recommend this story for anyone who loves a wonderful story to read.

    it's a decent read; but after reading some other stories by gaja this book just didn't hold to the standards I've gotten use to.

    I received an ARC and am giving an unbias opinion.

    Paradise of Shadows and Devotion is a mermaid romance suspense novel. Liana is living life on land working as an ice cream girl. She enjoys her job, but she has to be careful. She hopes that she can be safe on land from her sisters, but the clock is ticking on the peacefulness of her life. When a PI shows up one day she knows without a shadow of a doubt that he is there for her. She's being hunted. Her handsome Italian boss offers to help her. He's drawn to her. But he has secrets of his own. Can she survive what is coming for her? Will her boss's secrets destroy the potential relationship they have growing?
    The idea for this story is a good one, but I feel that it takes time to get going. For me, this story starts out slow and seems to have trouble getting up steam. There are engaging moments in the book, but it ebbs and flows like the tide. When it's engaging it's really engaging, but when the story slows down I begin to slip in interest. I love the differing stories. I loved Liana's story of how she became what she is. This totally hooked me in because it was unexpected.
    I like this story, but I just feel that it could use a bit of kick. With most books I read, I want the story to hook me from the beginning and keep me engaged from start to finish. I like the layers in this story. They are well done but could use some blending to help bring it all together.
    I am rating this book 4 out of 5 stars. This is a truly unique mermaid story, but I wanted more.

    Everyone has secrets, but some have secrets that kill. Liana is a mermaid with a deadly secret, hiding from her family in a small villa on the coast, selling ice cream in a cafe owned by Santino, a cheerful guy full of secrets of his own. Despite everything Liana trusts him, and the only thing that bugged me was Santino not trusting her with his secret when se told him hers, even if I understand his reasons. Great story arc, plenty of happy moments even if the situation is dire, plenty of magic too. Although it is somewhat set in a bigger series, it can be read as stand alone, you'll just want to read the rest of the books set in this world after.

    Excellent story line... But the last couple of chapters sucked, back tracked a few times to re-read them and lots of missing parts. Storyline make sense.

    Overall rating: 3.7 (advance copy)

    This one was tough for me. The actual outline of the plot did capture my interest. It was the actual getting there that was trying for me personally. Let me concentrate on what I feel other readers would like to know is wonderful for them. This author truly has a mastery with descriptive phrases. The erotica is quite thorough and should fulfill any erotica readers desires ( unless you have specific needs). The romance scenes are quite stellar. I feel that if this authors target audience is pure romance with tasteful erotica, then she nailed it with perfection. I am a storyline, give me action scenes to keep me reading and steamy is nice but not necessary type of reader so, just because it’s not my craving does not mean others won’t absolutely love this.

    This is a rather unique tale, in a captivating world.
    A very violent story softened by choices made to be better and to move past who you were and become who you want to be!
    Loved it!
