A song is just a song… or is it?

Return to the Mer wedding of a lifetime with Patience and Gideon and discover the night that led to their unexpected connection in 1988 as musical nostalgia takes hold.

Working at a Dairy Queen is not the life Patience imagined when she graduated with her art degree, but all that is about to change as Titus and Regus return to claim what they believe is theirs. In an attack on a stranger whom she feels strangely drawn to, Patience unwittingly lands herself in the sights of two of the Ocean’s most dangerous predators. Can Gideon protect her? Or is what Patience needs to be saved from a little closer to home?

In the story of how a very large fork ended up in the wrong hands, you can hop into the little red not-so-vintage and join Patience and Gideon as they re-live the night that started it all.

Waiting For Gideon: A Tidal Kiss Short by Kristy Nicolle
5 stars

I’ve been in a reading slump the last month or so. I picked this one up and OMG. This short hit me right in the feels! Something about the 80’s vibe and being back in the Tidal Kiss realm just gave me all the thrills and feels from the Tidal Kiss Trilogy. I love how this Author gives us more insight into the side characters from the story. Did I think I needed a backstory from Callie’s parent's POV? No, I didn’t think I needed it. Do I feel like I need it and then some now? Abso-freakin-lutely! Can Author Kristy Nicolle PLEASE give us more! I loved this flashback. I’m an 80’s baby so I LOVE everything about this time. I also really liked seeing how ultimately Callie came to be. I liked seeing how even though you think you are soul mates with a person (They thought) you can still have this uncontrollable pull to someone else. This is the 2nd short story of Kristy’s I’ve read and I really like how she leaves little easter eggs throughout the shorts that tie the other trilogies together. At one point in Waiting for Gideon, a family name was brought up and went over my head until another name was mentioned and I got way too excited to connect the dots from trilogy one to trilogy 2.

This short was an amazing addition to the Tidal Kiss. I LOVED IT!

Gah what can I say?

This novella was the soothing balm I needed after reading another one of Kristy's books that had pur my heart in a meat grinder.

This book glued it all back together again.

Mind you, I recommend reading the full Tidal Kiss trilogy so tou understsnd the characters on this short novella as a whole. If you are new to the Kristy fan club and this is your first book of hers, it is still okay though as ypu get to see her writing style. I had this book and had completely forgot to review it (my apologies).

This is a classic, short & sweet novella with a bit of a twist. While there is a bir of action in it, it follows the sweetheart tale of a teenager falling in love. Even though yes it does involve mermen, it still is beautifully showcased the reality of falling in love in just a short span. The awkwardness of meeting. The impromptu events that can take place. The feelings of being scared of the feelings hiding just below the surface.

You get to see Patience & Gideon metring yet again and follow thier story on how they met. As with my reviews, I will not spoil the book in my review but it does contain spoilers for the Tidal Kiss Trilogy, hence why I recommend reading those first. Patience becomes the hero Gideon needed and he is the hero she didn't realize she wanted.

It truly is a novella that is sweeter than cotton candy. A must have out of the works of Keisty that show a softer side that many books lack nowadays!

From the moment I read The Kiss that Killed me, I wondered where Callie came from and how she became who she became. Then reading the rest of the Tidal Kiss Trilogy made me even more curious, especially after we meet Gideon. Seeing a normal girl like Patience working her way through her dull life, trying to make ends meet in 1980's California, get involved with someone as exciting as Gideon, finally gave her the adventure of a lifetime, This story answered so many questions and left me with so many more. This story warmed my heart and gave the fantasy a place in reality.

Kristy Nicolle has a special way with a fantastic tale, and I always enjoy myself from beginning to end. Taking us on her water bound roller coaster ride, she draws us in with sights and sounds that give her stories depth and meaning. I can't wait to see what her extraordinary mind brings us next.

I had received an ARC for an honest review, but now I am a verified purchaser because it is worth it! Read the same day I received it! I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed reading this awesome and creative world of mermaids that Kristy just entrances you into. From the kiss that killed me trilogy she has had me and in this I'm guessing a spinoff or pre-sequel book you will find how Callie's parents met and how adventurous Callie's mom and father could be! Loved it! And I hope there is more to their story 😍Kristy keep them coming!!! I love love love Callie's parents and hope there is more 😁

Between the mer, the music, and the art, this short is absolutely wonderful. I've fallen in love with Gideon, and wish I had been working at Dairy Queen instead of Patience that year. His explanation for insisting on turning the Blizzard upside down just melted my heart, as did his art connections and his loyalty. Add to all this that one of my coworkers is named Gideon, we know I was lost before ever reading a word!

I highly recommend the Tidal Kiss Trilogy before this little gem.
That being said, I found this story to be absolutely adorable. The instant chemistry between the characters was great. And this was an awesome nostalgia blast to boot!
