Description from the publisher:
A little mermaid. A prince to save. Only silence can break the spell.

Once upon a time...The mermaid Margareta saved Prince Erik from a shipwreck. Wanting to see the prince again, Margareta strikes a bargain with the Master of Beacon Isle. If she saves his sons from a terrible curse, he will reunite her with Prince Erik. All she has to do is stay silent until the curse is broken.

Silence is a virtue...until Prince Erik arrives early, searching for the mermaid who saved his life.

Can two hearts speak louder than words?

SILENCE is the fifth book in the Romance a Medieval Fairytale series.  Each story stands on its own, but there are some characters that appear in subsequent stories that make it ideal, in my opinion, to read them in the order of release.  I have not done so and while it does not diminish my enjoyment of the stories, I think it would increase the mystery of discovery had I read them in the correct order.

I love this story and this series.  I especially love how Ms. Carlton has interwoven some of the characters from one story to another.

THE LITTLE MERMAID is one of my favorite animated movies of all time.  I have been known to put it on repeat and play it non-stop for 24 hours.  Ask me about my collection and I’ll recite lines… “Look at this stuff.  Isn’t it neat?  Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete? ...”  Demelza Carlton threw away the Disney book and made this story her own!  More than that, she incorporated characters from the previous book, REVEL, and upcoming books, EMBELLISH and APPEASE.

My greedy little heart is crying for more, more, more.  I actually hope this series never ends!

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
