Well it wasn’t too hard to predict more of the Riley comedy show shit-show. First book I called her a Ninny, this time she’s a full on DUMBASS. She’s just. So. Damn. Stupid. She trusts zero of her instincts. She completely disregards her own life for the guys. The same guys who’ve ruined her life to the point she’s living off bland sandwiches and having an estate sale to earn enough money to eat and keep herself sheltered. But I mean who wouldn’t fall for three guys who bully you, harass you, demean and belittle you. Guys who drug her, bring her to Jax’s father where she’s then waterboarded. So romantic. She’ll never forgive them…… but her body. Damn her hormones. Of course she’s still mad (**yeah, ok sure. Keep lying to yourself chick) but she can often overlook it. I mean she’ll never forget but damn if she doesn’t go to them like cancer on a healthy cell. She only made it through her entire adolescence a virgin to suddenly going trippy over three Tritons who are utter shit, still treat her like shit. But hey, they’re good in bed 🤦🏽♀️ I feel like with her as a heroine their world is screwed if it at all depends on her! Off to the final book, it’ll be a tough one for me 🤫

Maya Nicole is fabulous. This series is so different and refreshing and i am loving it. The Tritons consist of Jax, Blake and Morgan and they are hot!. I loved this book so much because it really showed alot of progression of the relationship between Riley and the guys. I love how protective they are over her now. I love the suspense and action and am so curious to see how it all plays out. ALL IN ALL a MUST READ..

what a fabulous read!! the continuation of this series with Riley and her Tritons is gripping! some questions are answered and others are definitely left hanging in the balance (ugh, cliffhanger 😱). book 3 is going to be epic!!

A Queen doesn’t need a King. 👑
Why do you do this to me Maya!!! Why!! So cliffhanger, but i forgive her because she always treats me well by giving me these amazing stories and characters, not to mention she puts them out quickly so I’m never left wanting for long 🥰.
The second book in the series and picks up where we were left dangling over the cliff last time. 😘 The guys shift gears in this book and stop seeing Riley as the enemy. Riley has some fun and creative ways of getting back at them though.
Riley gets more answers this book about her true identity, her mother, and her father. We get introduced to a new villain set out to destroy the tridents and Riley. So many feels in this one from laughing, swooning, and sadness. Morgan had my heart in the first book with the dancing, but he grabs a hold even more in this book. So if anyone was wondering, I’m not okay!! Check on your girl, because Morgan..... I guess you will have to read!
So much to love about this series with the level headed FMC who definitely changes in this book, to unique world building, to social problems and environmental concerns, this book touches them all in beautiful ways. Multiple POVs. Heat picks up in this book so much 🔥🔥🔥. Some mystery still to sort.

Submerge is the second book in a reverse harem trilogy. It can’t be read as a stand-alone but the first book was great, so ensure that you read that one first.
The story picks up just where we were left at the Surge cliff hanger, and the action and pace continues. We learn more about the Tritons and their world. The relationship between Riley, Jax, Morgan & Blake continues to build as we learn more about their back stories. A new character features in this story and the pace of the story continues to gain momentum, with the teenagers at times making reckless decisions, until we are faced with another gripping cliff hanger. Luckily the 3rd book will be released soon, so we as readers, don’t have to wait too long until the conclusion of the story.
The cover is just so beautiful, that I’ve already ordered another copy of this book, to have the trilogy in my collection. The mythology in this story is a bit of a twist to what you’ve probably come across before, but that’s something that sets this story apart from others. This is an enjoyable bully/ paranormal reverse harem romance, set in a contemporary world. It is easy to get lost in the world that has been created by Maya Nicole and the characters she has created. I also loved the addition of the guardians. I can’t wait to read Emerge and find out what happens next.
Thank you to Maya Nicole for the copy of ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this story and this honest opinion is my own.

This is the second book in the Salinity Cove Series. It is an aquatic fantasy/paranormal reverse harem with a cliff hanger! What makes me love this is Maya steps out of the norm because of all the RH I have read this is the first aquatic themed one. Don’t get me wrong I love some werewolves and vamps, but I think most girls dream of “mermaids” when they are little. It seriously keeps you pulled in from the very first word all the way to the last. Just like the first book I wasn’t able to put it down once I began reading it. I love seeing Riley grow stronger in her choices and start taking no crap from people. You see Blake and Morgan start to open up more with Riley. Riley learns a lot about herself in this book. A new character is added and you will be shocked who they are! Seriously on pins and needles waiting for the next book. If you are into fantasy reverse harems your won’t be disappointed.

First off I received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Second holy cow!! Again with the cliffhanger, but even if there wasn’t you still would be on the edge of your seat. I love the budding relationships between Riley and her guys. The feels are really starting between them and it is such an adventure of up and down but in the best way. The only part I didn’t like was we don’t see much of Aiden or Ivy and when we do they make me want to smack the stupid out of them. Come on you two! Jax is really starting to let his sweet show, same with Morgan and the always sweet Blake, I look forward to seeing more of his naughty side! I have no idea what Finn’s motivates are, seriously dude what is happening with you. And Riley’s mom that girl needs some help . There is just so much to love, but without giving anything away I will just say it is seriously amazing and you won’t regret reading it.

Riley is saved by her boyfriends, but as a team they realize the there is a bigger threat who is after her.
They work to try to keep her safe while also constantly underestimating her. Their relationships move forward individually and as a group. Her mom is a key to the puzzle, but they all learn that legends might be true.
The story is mature and each chapter alternates between a different characters POV.

This is the second book in the series. Thankfully it picks up right where the first books cliffhanger left off. This book is out of control with everything going on in the best way possible. I love how as you read this book you learn some answers from book one, but it opens up so many more unanswered questions.
Bubba was a big highlight of this book. Sharks are friends. The guys are no longer bullying Riley. They are actively trying to help her survive. Riley is coming into her own as a woman.
I recommend this book 10/10!

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. That ending killed me! I cant wait for book 3 this is an amazing series so far. All the mystery and BAM cliffhanger 😁 it was fantastic. The dynamic with the characters is perfect and the story is so original i never would have guess what happened.

Ahhhh I need more!
Submerge started with one crazy dude and ended with another - talk about plot twists! Poor Riley seems to attract danger but thankfully she has Jax, Morgan & Blake on her side this time.
I couldn’t put this book down, Maya has left us with another incredible cliffhanger and Im dying to read what happens next.

You did it again...
I am sinking from the weight of these cliff hangers....I LOVR THIS SERIES so much!!! Can't wait for Riley to rip someone's face off. Lol....no really. I am cheering for her sireness to come crashing down!!! Do I really have to wait for the ending...I guess I will just sit here on my sinking boat and wait for Bubba to save me. 😁

That cliffhanger destroyed me! This book just was so different from my regular books that I'm totally into it! All three of the Triton's are now her men, her momma I'm not sure about, who leaves a kid in a home that's going to be foreclosed on? Even the admiral is not as bad as I thought. Can't wait for book 3!

This was an amazing book. The way the plot came about with the twist and turns. One Minute it was one thing then it does a 180. The plot thickens as the book goes on. It a slow burn on juicy details and leaves you hanging for whats to come. Can’t wait for the next one..
September 22, 2020
Great story.
Things are certainly heating up in salinity cove. A new face, some old ones and new threats show up. I liked the mystery unfolding and that the MC did not just roll over for the Tritons. Can’t wait for the next book!

Wow after reading book 1 I couldn't wait for this and I was lucky enough to get an ARC and I'm so happy I did, This does have a cliffhanger but I didn't care I needed to know what happens after the last book and I wasn't left wanting this one was really good and I didn't want to put it down, I love this one and the ending to this was so so good I'm so excited for book 3 now and cannot wait to see what comes next.
September 14, 2020
Received ARC and wow glad i didn't have to wait to read 2nd instalment!! Absolutely loved how Riley got a little bit of revenge and didn't let the guys walk all over her. The relationship between the three heats up with more steamy scene and we find out more of the back story. This unique storyline really reels you in and I cant wait for the next instalment...especially since this one ends with another cliffhanger!!
September 22, 2020
Wow
I love when I pick up the next book in a series and am able to just fall right back into the world. So many ups and downs in this one, I couldn't put it down.

Ope still reading, still not sure why. Maybe I need closure.

First of where can I get my own bubba or Cecilia? I need one.
Loving the POV of the four main characters, nice to know what they all are thinking through out the book.
After reading the first one this book is just as great, it does seem like a slow burn(romance wise) but I'm still enjoying it as there's other things happen.
Like I said last time Riley has some balls with some of the things she does.

Submerge is just as good if not better than Surge. Follow the next estallment of the dramas and steamy relationship of Riley and her Triten men Jax, Blake and Morgan you will not be dissapointed, but be ready for the cliffhanger at the end of the book. If book 2 was anything to go by book 3 should be epic.
September 29, 2020
I am loving this series!!!! Omg it is so good!! I have read just about all of this authors books and I have not been disappointed at all. This is book 2 of her newest series and storyline is fantastic. Love the characters. Another one of the can’t put down kind of books. Once I started I had to finish. Oh yeah there is a cliffhanger. Just means there is a book 3 which I want to read so badly!!! Definitely a must read!!!! Loved it!!!!
September 13, 2020
This was an awesome book. The relationships between Riley, Jax, Blake & Morgan moves faster this book. Watching Riley battle with knowing she should be be upset with them but feeling drawn to them. The bonds the boys have with each other hits you in the feels. Getting to see more of the boys world.
Anxiously waiting for book 3 cause holy cliffhanger!

The second book in Riley, Jax, Morgan and Blakes story. This is such an amazing series that I am completely hooked on. Was so excited to get this one after the ending on book 1 and it did not disappoint at all. Now here I am again, anxious for the next book after this ending!! Its so worth it though and so, so good.
September 14, 2020
Omg. This book is amazing. So many twists, so many developments! Non stop action in the book, and the steamy scenes were entirely volcanic! More history about the Tritons, and more of Riley’s past explained... but now, I have more questions!! Amazingly written!!!!
September 16, 2020
What a great continuation of this series.. definitely more steamy scenes in this book which is fine by me. Maya has left me wanting more and can not wait for book 3!!
September 13, 2020
Oh my!
I love this story. Such an original idea and wonderful characters.
And that cliffhanger oh my lordy I simply cannot wait to devour book 3.... but I don't think I'll be happy when it ends
