Book Description

Publication Date: January 31, 2006

Dolphin's Playground By Jaci Burton Dr. Jasmine "Jaz" Quinlan's life's work is to care for marine mammals at the California Bay Aquarium. What she'd rather do is spend her life in the ocean with the creatures she loves, preferring their company to any human's. When a dozen dolphins beach themselves, she takes them into her care, bound and determined to save them. Triton, guardian of the dolphins and a member of Oceana, an undersea civilization, wants nothing to do with land humans—especially females. But he's forced to work with Jaz to help his sick dolphins. The moment Jaz meets Triton, he lights a fire within her that no ocean can douse. His passion and love for sea life is an equal match for hers, and when she finds out who he is and where he lives, her wildest dreams become a reality. Despite his preconceived notions, Triton finds himself falling for Jaz's passion and caring nature. She loves the sea as much as he does, awakening desires he has to fight to keep buried When two different worlds separate Jaz and Triton, love must find a way to unite them. Liquid Dreams By Cathryn Fox Ranek, protector of the underwater Bandara kingdom, has spent endless decades searching for his lost soulmate. He finally finds Katrina, a woman torn from his life centuries ago only to be reborn on land, half-human, half-Bandara. With time running out, Ranek enters her dreams and makes wild, erotic love to her, penetrating her subconscious with the life and love they once shared in their kingdom beneath the sea. He must bring Katrina's mind around slowly, taking care not to irreparably damage the human part of her. For if he does she will die, and as her lifelong soulmate, he will die along with her. Katrina must decide if the man of her dreams is just that. Is he simply a dream? Or is he the man of her past, her present and possibly her future

Dr. Jasmine "Jaz" Quinlan loves the sea and everything in it, and it's her life's work to care for the marine creatures of the deep. When a pod of dolphins beach themselves because of a mysterious bacterial infection, Jaz then makes it her objective to find out the problem as well as the solution. Jaz feels real physical pain when she sees a dolphin die and she doesn't want to lose anymore. When she is introduced to Dr. Trey Sanders, Jaz sees him as a spoiled rich boy from old money that's only going to get in her way of helping the dolphins.

When Triton finds out that yet another pod of dolphins are getting sick, his brother Ronan--better known as Neptune, guardian of all things in the ocean--informs him that he needs to go to the surface to find out what is going on. Disguising himself as a land dweller named Dr. Trey Sanders, Triton sets out to see if Jaz really knows what she is doing, and if she has the skill necessary to care for the dolphins. Triton/Trey finds more than he thought he would with Jaz, so much so, that it scares him and he acts strangely towards her; confusing both of them in the process.

Dolphin's Playground is an excellent story. I felt kind of sorry for Jaz, because she's trapped on land and dealing with people, when she'd love to do nothing more than to jump into the water and disappear. Her dedication to helping the dolphins is the only thing that surpasses her love of the water.

When Jaz and Trey first meet, the intensity from Jaz's instant and fierce attraction leapt from the pages. I knew then, that something big was going to happen between the both of them and I couldn't wait until it did!! Trey is so sexy, I'm more than willing to move and live in the water for him! I'd even take his prickly brother Ronan. Maybe Mrs. Burton, you will give Ronan a story?


Trey's bias against humans confuses him when he's instantly attracted to Jaz, but he fights it. I found myself getting upset at points with his bullheadedness, and then I felt sympathy because I understood that his past hurts are what clouded his feelings and judgment toward Jaz. When Jaz and Trey finally get together their joining is so intense that it curled my toes and I was left speechless...well speechless after I let out a shout of `Oh Yeah!'

There are many good points I could share about Dolphins Playground, but if I say them, then it loses its spice and surprise. Go out and get a copy now and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Erotica Book, August 16, 2006

This review is from: Making Waves (Paperback)

This is truly an amazing well written erotic romance book. Cathryn Fox chose wonderful characters for her book. From the beginning to the end this book grabs you. This book will have you wanting to know what happens next. You would not want to put the book down.

Katrina has these dreams about a sea god name Ranek in her dreams Ranek makes wild, erotic love to her. The love scenes in this book are hot and steamy. When reading this book you will need a bucket of ice by you to cool you off.

Now Katrina has to decide if Ranek is just a man of her dreams or is he from her past, present, or future. This is the first book I have read by Cathryn Fox and I am looking forward to reading more books by her. I loved this book and I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves Erotic Romance with some really hot love scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Liquid Dreams so hot it boils, June 22, 2006

Gerryaddict "JS" (Halifax, NS Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Making Waves (Paperback)

Katrina's days are fraught with wedding plans to a man she doesn't love. Her nights are haunted by highly-charged erotic dreams of a man she's never met. Is it any wonder she seeks relief with a therapist?

There is no cure for Katrina's disturbing dreams. No cure for her torment except to remember the creature she'd once been. Her nightly encounters are not dreams. Her true soul mate is the ruler of an undersea kingdom. If she cannot recall her true Bandaran form and rejoin with Lord Ranek, the consequences for both of them will be tragic.

Liquid Dreams simmers with erotic heat. Cathryn Fox entwines the lovers' highly-charged encounters with each story development, every arousing dream of Katrina's sea god divulging more answers to her search for truth. It's life-or-death stakes for Katrina and Ms. Fox keeps readers at the same level, sifting through Katrina's memories with the clock ticking ominously. A sinister member of their ancient love triangle threatens to destroy Katrina's tenuous hold on happiness, weaving a current of dread throughout the story.

Cathryn Fox creates an intoxicating world where love reaches through the restraints of space and time. I look forward to the next offering from this beguiling new voice in erotic fiction.
