Macy had always loved the sea until the day it stole her sister and she vowed to remain firmly planted in the earth. When the good intentions of a friend causes her to be on the water again, her worst nightmare will come to pass. She felt the rush of the icy water, the need to give up and knew that the sea would claim her and everything went dark. Macy never expected to awaken again, let alone to find her rescuer to be anything but human.

Jax is a kraken, he has heard the horrors about those who ...more

I Love a forbidden love story!!

Best Alien/Monster Sex Love story I've read in a while with fully developed characters and plot.

Some of my Goodreads friends love tentacle sex (I don't judge). I can honestly say I'm not a fan of tentacles.

The hero has tentacles but thank goodness this book did not have any tentacle sex. Just a good old fashion penis!

What an unexpected little gem. Thank you, Melanie, for this find, because I think I will read more of this world.

It's been my first book about this kind of merpeople, but damn I liked it. It was well written, I liked the characters and their slow dance around each other.

Now this is how you turn an 'I'm sorry, what?' story about a kraken and a human into an 'OMG, that was pretty wonderful! story about true love against all odds.

Kudos to the authors.

Because while Treasure of the Abyss was partly salacious . . .

Even the thought of his tentacles caressing her made her shiver - not with repulsion, but with want.

Well okay! This was completely out of the norm for me and I wasn’t sure what to expect. When you think of tentacles and…sex, well you know. However, this was so much better than I thought it would be. I absolutely loved Jax and his extreme protectiveness over Macy. Add in his jealous possessive tendencies and he rocketed himself up my hero list.

This sort of weird thing makes my recovering-weeaboo self think of tentacle hentai, but what we have is more along the lines of an alien erotica and not what I imagine when I think of tentacle hentai, though I suppose "alien" isn't the right word because the kraken didn't organically develop on an alien planet but are the creation of human scientists on an alien planet. I'm not sure how to categorize that so I'm just going to say alien.

The kraken aren't just random sea monsters on Earth, which was what I was personally anticipating, they're human-octopus genetic spliced creatures made by humans as a labor force on an alien planet that humans colonized ages ago, so that means that kraken and human are genetically similar enough to have traditional penetrative sex and procreate.

There's nothing especially weird going on despite the authors' attempts to make the male lead rather inhuman; like he's a bald slit-nosed human torso with color-changing skin and claws and sharp teeth on top of a mass of tentacles. His dick just retreats into his body when not needed and when he's aroused it slides out. Typical alien/sci-fi erotica kind of stuff, nothing new.

I suppose I'm somewhat desensitized because alien erotica is a genre I've dived into multiple times and it's easy to see a pattern with their execution so I look for things that are unconventional and different, but this ultimately reads much like a lot of other alien erotica stories.

Ultimately, it's good that it's not traditional tentacle hentai because it often becomes very aggressive rape and sodomy with lots of restraint of an unwilling victim. This, thankfully, features consensual sex that's pretty standard of erotica; they are both willing and it's ultimately depicted as being enthusiastic and affectionate with Jax calling Macy his mate and feeling monogamous devotion to her and wanting to protect and provide for her and Macy forgoing her life amongst humans to be with him and embrace his life.

In all honestly, Jax's tentacles don't do much more than like wrap around Macy a few times and like stroke/suck at her clit and there's mention of him using the suction cups to taste her (since octopi have the ability to taste with them). There's no penetration, which I suppose is a missed opportunity. Usually when a monster or alien in an erotica has an additional appendage it's used within the context of the sex scenes to a pretty high degree (like in Rapunzel and the Dark Prince the darklings' tails are commonly used to penetrate their partners and in Ruth's Bonded the Gandrys' fuzzy tails are utilized for a variety of sexual purposes). I wonder if the authors decided against it because they wanted to distance their series from typical tentacle hentai or if it was just incidental that they didn't take full advantage of all the tentacles in this story (there's like 4 other books in this series so maybe it occurs in those).

One thing that I will say is that this erotica has over a lot of others is that there's a fully formed plot. A lot of erotica is a very short and direct tale where a general sort of premise is established but the only real intention of the plot is to work in as many sex scenes as possible. This erotica, while it does have a few sex scenes, also focuses on the relationship development, the world building, conflicts, and maintains a somewhat full story line. The sex scenes do not completely overshadow the story, which is good! I think this book probably performs very well in a lot of readers' hands because of it.

I just wasn't impressed personally; I've read a lot of things that are similar to this that I liked more so it's ultimately just sort of "thank you, next" for me as a reader.

I'm giving it like a basis 2.5-3 rating because while I personally didn't really care for it there's not much I can point out about it being bad. A lot of my personal criticisms have to do with the logistics of the octopus-man creatures and the fact that Macy really easily resigns herself to being with Jax after a matter of a few days. Though luckily it didn't take mind-blowing alien sex to convince her; like they don't have sex until she's already promised to stay and be with him which I personally found refreshing. I really dislike heroines who orgasm and then lose their minds and become simpering idiots who only think and act in pursuit of more orgasms. ...more

Some have been okay, but I haven't had any 5 stars. I needed to break out of HR, maybe. Everything was the same. How different can you get? I told my husband I had a kraken lover and he repeatedly asked me questions about the book. I think he's jealous. Lol.

I told my husband I had a kraken lover and he repeatedly asked me questions about the book. I think he's jealous. Lol.

So this planet is not Earth, though it's basically earth like. Humans colonized it long ago, but much of the history has been lost over time. The village Rose lives in has a very historic feel. A lot of the book takes place in a cave where Jax and Rose get to know each other, obviously very rustic, though she does find a device that plays music for one of the scenes. They also go to Jax's colony home and there is running water there and some devices/computers.

Macy lives a boring life in their village as a gardener. She's been friends with Camrin since childhood and he has been courting her for 6-7 years. She knows the time has finally come to tell him she's ready for the joining, even though she knows he's not right for her. He is like a brother and she has no sexual feelings for him, but doesn't have the heart to tell him. She's convinced herself she will develop feelings after their joining. Macy lost her sister at sea years ago and has avoided it since, so she's extra hesitant when Camrin requests to take her out on a boat for the special night. She puts her fear aside and joins him. Once on board, it's not long before a storm hits and she is tossed overboard. She's rescued by Jax, the kraken.

Jax is known to his people as the wanderer. He helps when needed but his heart is outside their colony, always exploring and collecting things. Once he collects Rose from the sea, he knows he must stop her from returning to her people. But he finds it's more than his people's protection that he forces her to stay with him.

I had NO IDEA what to expect with this book. And I rather loved a lot of it. I've heard it referenced as erotica, but I don't think that fits. There are a number of explicit scenes but they happen later in the book. There's plenty of plot, danger, problems to solve, sexual tension, and human kraken sex. But sex definitely isn't the focus of the book.

My complaints about the book are mainly Rose. She cried a lot and that always annoys me. At least it was pointed out that she cries a lot haha. But overall I really liked it. Would I try another? Fuck yes.

In my many years of reading romance I have encountered heroes of all shapes and sizes. Heroes that were lizard men. Heroes that were giant bugs. Heroes that were zombies, shifters, vampires, djinn, demons… you name it. That being said, this is my first hero with tentacles and, honestly, it wasn’t as weird as you might think.

This book is set in a futuristic world, where humans have settled off of earth. Macy grew up there and it has been hundreds of years since her people made it their home. Not In my many years of reading romance I have encountered heroes of all shapes and sizes. Heroes that were lizard men. Heroes that were giant bugs. Heroes that were zombies, shifters, vampires, djinn, demons… you name it. That being said, this is my first hero with tentacles and, honestly, it wasn’t as weird as you might think.

This book is set in a futuristic world, where humans have settled off of earth. Macy grew up there and it has been hundreds of years since her people made it their home. Not all of the technology still works and some of the early plans and ideas have been forgotten, but people get along well enough.

Macy is not very happy with her life. She lost a sister to the sea in an accident she blames herself for and can no longer recapture her joy for the water. That is only driven home when her childhood suitor takes her out on a boat with plans to propose. Macy loves Camrin as a friend, but all that guilt she carries around over her sister makes her a bit of a martyr. She plans on accepting his suit despite her platonic feelings. Until a storm knocks her off the boat and they are separated.

She wakes up on a small island with a mysterious stranger. Jax is the guy with the tentacles I was talking about. His people call themselves kraken, and they are half-human, half-octopus. Humans don’t know they exist and the kraken want to keep it that way. They fear and loathe humanity, afraid that humans would try to hurt or enslave them if they are discovered. But Jax is an anomaly among his people. They call him the wanderer because he likes to explore new things and ideas. His curiosity pulls him towards Macy and he decides to keep her for his own. She can’t go home because the risk is too great she will expose his existence.

Macy takes this surprisingly well. Oh yeah, there is a token resistance, but in, like, no time at all she is ready to leave her whole life behind and spend her future swimming with Jax in the deep. She also took the shock of seeing an octopus man really, really well. I try to imagine what my reaction would be to seeing a dude with tentacles coming at me and while I can’t quite picture it, I don’t think I would be quite as instantly cool with it as she was. Her capitulation in these things were a lot harder for me to get over and to believe in her as a character than the fact that she ends up doing it with him down the road.

The evolution of their romance is actually pretty sweet. She values the things in Jax he has always been ostracized for and he gives her a thrill like nothing did in her life before. Their love scenes are actually quite sexy, either despite of –or maybe in part, because of– the tentacles and whatnot. The world building is good and I liked how we uncovered the backstory of the kraken, and despite so much of the story taking place underwater, it had a cool sci-fi feel going on.

I appreciated the fact that the author did not make all the humans out to be villains or all the kraken out to be good guys. Roberts had enough nuance not to brush everyone with one stroke. I liked the story well enough that I might dip in to another book in the series. I can already see a future for Macy’s best friend and Jax’s.

Though I felt, at times, the book glossed over what should’ve been bigger issues, I liked it overall. A quick, easy read with some eyebrow raising sexy times. Worth checking out if you have an open mind about your hero’s anatomy.

When Jax saves the human woman, he has no idea of the havoc she will cause not only with the kraken people…but with his own heart.

Tiffany Roberts is my new obsession. I’ve read her Isle of the Forgotten fantasy romance series and now I have moved on to her Kraken sci-fi series. I didn’t know exactly what to expect as I went in blind, but I know what I wanted; a sweet romance with a slightly weird alien. Luckily that is exactly what I got with Treasure of the Abyss.

Lets start with the world, what I liked with Roberts’ Isle of the Forgotten series, apart from the romance, was the world they were building. With the Kraken series, humans were dropped on a new planet and given technology and tools to colonise it, then for a reason we have yet to ascertain, they were abandoned. Fast forward a few centuries and we have the world Macy lives in, which is a balance of a primitive agricultural community and old technology. Although we don’t see much of the village that Macy lives in, I liked the concept and hope they expend it and include it in their future story lines.

Now, we have the reason I really liked this book, the krakens. It’s no secret that I love an alien romance and the more alien the alien the better. Well, it doesn’t get too much stranger than an alien with no legs, but tentacles instead. I loved it. The kraken are a species that were bio-engineered by humans to do grunt work under seas. Humans melded human and cephalopod DNA together to form their very own slave race. The kraken understandabley rebelled and killed the humans who made them and centuries later are still around and living under the sea.

The romance between Jax and Macy slowly grew as their relationship grew from wary adversaries to mates. I loved the build up of their love between them as they got to know one another and over come their obvious and no so obvious differences. I also can’t wait to read what’s coming up next in the series as there are a few other kraken characters I can’t wait to see get paired up.

A great start to this series and I can’t wait to see what happens next, if, like me, you love an alien sci-fi romance than you definitely need to give Treasure of the Abyss a try.

Tiffany Roberts is my new obsession. I've read her Isle of the Forgotten fantasy romance series and now I have moved on to her Kraken sci-fi series. I didn't know exactly what to expect as I went in blind, but I know what I wanted; a sweet romance with a slightly weird alien. Luckily that is exactly what I got with Treasure of the Abyss.

Lets start with the world, what I liked with Roberts' Isle of the Forgotten series, apart from the romance, was the world they were building. With the Kraken series, humans were dropped on a new planet and given technology and tools to colonise it, then for a reason we have yet to ascertain, they were abandoned. Fast forward a few centuries and we have the world Macy lives in, which is a balance of a primitive agricultural community and old technology. Although we don't see much of the village that Macy lives in, I liked the concept and hope they expend it and include it in their future story lines.

Now, we have the reason I really liked this book, the krakens. It's no secret that I love an alien romance and the more alien the alien the better. Well, it doesn't get too much stranger than an alien with no legs, but tentacles instead. I loved it. The kraken are a species that were bio-engineered by humans to do grunt work under seas. Humans melded human and cephalopod DNA together to form their very own slave race. The kraken understandabley rebelled and killed the humans who made them and centuries later are still around and living under the sea.

The romance between Jax and Macy slowly grew as their relationship grew from wary adversaries to mates. I loved the build up of their love between them as they got to know one another and over come their obvious and no so obvious differences. I also can't wait to read what's coming up next in the series as there are a few other kraken characters I can't wait to see get paired up.

A great start to this series and I can't wait to see what happens next, if, like me, you love an alien sci-fi romance than you definitely need to give Treasure of the Abyss a try.
