Sea Lord, May 17, 2009
This review is from: Sea Lord (Children of the Sea, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is an interesting book. This is my first time reading about a selkie. The legends are interesting and the story line had a good plot. It had interesting turns and twists and it kept me on my toes. I enjoyed it even though the book seemed to be a little more erotica than romance at times. I like the way Lucy came into her power steadily growing and maturing her gift with Conn's love assistance until she was strong enough to stand her own ground.

Sea Lord by Virginia Kantra twolipsreviews.com, July 28, 2009
This review is from: Sea Lord (Children of the Sea, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Lucy Hunter has been content playing in her garden and being a school teacher. A child of the land, happy thinking she is mortal. Now she discovers she is apart of an ancient battle between elementals. That she is not a child of land, or a mortal, but a descendent of the children of Sea and part Selkie.
Conn, the prince of the Selkie, has come for Lucy. She is the child of the prophecy, the one that will save them all. He will do whatever it takes to bring Lucy to sanctuary and protect her from the children of fire - even kidnapping. He feels more than just passing friendship for Lucy but has learned winning the battle is not laying your heart open to love. Can Lucy convince him that he is wrong before his attitude drives her away and the future of all the children of Sea forever?
Sea Lord is the third Children of the Sea novel by Virginia Kantra. I particularly loved this one and you do not have to read the others in the series to understand this novel - it is a true stand alone. Conn has a hardened tough exterior which reminds of the coolness of the ocean - seems cold to the touch but inside it is teaming with life. Lucy is very much the sunlight to Conn's coolness. She never realized her entire family has had superpowers that she came from a line of Children from the Sea. She has no clue about this Great War. She is completely taken by surprise by Conn. His sex appeal has her enamored, but his heart keeps her around as she sees the man within the Prince. When you want love, action, adventure and mystery you want to read Sea Lord!

Enjoyable but something of a steal... spoilers, March 8, 2010
This review is from: Sea Lord (Children of the Sea, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
I might not have noticed it if I hadn't read Robin McKinley's The Blue Sword MANY times over the years, but I have, so I did. It could just be a coincidence but parts of the story were just too similar to ignore: the visions that led to Lucy's kidnapping, making her sleep when Conn kidnapped her, not understanding what role she would play but unable to ignore the visions, helping her heal others, her "running away" when he wouldn't acknowledge the demon danger, leaving his body/battle to help her, his body being guarded by his loyal warden, etc.
However, I've read The Blue Sword so many times because it's an amazing, classic story. Hari grows into her strength. Corlath is super sexy. They make a great couple.
Virginia Kantra is a great writer. I enjoyed the other books in the series but as others said, this was the best. If she did "steal" the plot from McKinley's book, she did it justice. This story is gripping, sexy, fun, heartfelt. Her characters are memorable.
Definitely worth reading.
