Aquaculture Affair: Gay Monster Romance with Tentacles (Delaney's Sea Monsters Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 294 ratings

Can a virgin and his dad’s best friend find a way to be together forever with their mersquid fated mate?

Larkin isn't sure if he's got his life together or not, but he knows his love life is completely stalled out. He’s never going to get up the courage to tell Dean, his father's best friend, how he feels about him. Namely that Larkin has been in love with Dean from the moment he figured out he was gay. But can he really risk everyone’s friendships by confessing how he feels?

Dean suspected that his best friend's only son might have a crush on him. When he walks into his bedroom and finds Larkin on the bed and having a grand time with some of Dean’s dirty laundry, Dean can't avoid the facts. Or can he? Their fishing trip is interrupted when hauling abandoned fishing lines onto Dean's boat brings a blue, tentacled person in need of help onto the deck. Now Dean and Larkin are tangled together as they secretly aid an ocean-dwelling alien's recovery.

Mo is the youngest child of a human and cecaelia, one of the first hybrids, who thought they were going to die in that mess of fishing lines and nets. But then they found themselves nose to toes with their fated mates, two human men who are clearly in love with each other. Mo's determined to help their mates see that the three of them are perfect together, especially while they're all confined inside an aquaculture farm. But as Mo heals, they have to figure out how to keep their mates without exposing the secret of their existence to an entire company of humans.

This novella has an age gap, m/m/m, and dad’s best friend story with two virgins and a guy in his forties who thought he was the grownup, some internal angst because somebody’s an alien, kinks for man-smell and gripping tentacles, hiding out in an aquaculture farm to raise snails, and a HEA ending that includes cameos from Book 1 characters.

    A good story of how two guys whom one helped bring into the world become lovers through a gay monster who falls in love with both. All find love grow and overcome shame and embarrassment to become lovers and friends. Also the monitor who is half human also can mate and be with his wonderful human friends for life. A great romantic novel.

    What makes me happy about Delaney Rain’s books is the amount of supportive side characters, leading to low angst happy read. The main character suffered a trauma and it was dealt with in an honest and healthy way. Another main character went thru a possibly embarrassing situation and it was approached in a rather healthy way. Delaney’s books make me wish for a more open and positive world

    This book was not quite as good as The Sea Monster's Mate although I really enjoyed it. It was quite a bit shorter for one thing and didn't have the "fullness" to the story like the first one and no baby mersquid!! I've read The Sea Monster's Mate three times just for the babies. The characters in this book were well done as are all of the author's characters and I've loved all of her "Mate" books. Regardless of my opinion of this book, I'm a permanent fan of the author and she's always an auto buy for me. Next up for me, A Death Worth Living, the sequel to The Demon's Mate.

    I just loved this. It was such a light-hearted and low-angst book. I can't get enough of the mersquids, and the idea of a throuple with one partner as a mersquid is perfect, because... there are so many appendages available for their other partners. ;)

    I love The Sea Monster's Mate, so I made sure to pre-order this one.

    It was so much fun to see Mo meet and fall for his mates. It was sweet to watch the three click.

    This is a paranormal mmm erotic romance, the second book in a series that should be read in order. This started out going in a direction I didn’t like but just get beyond the first chapter and it is a creative and humorous story.
