The Mermaid of Redwood Cove is a sweet short romance story.Like a lot of short stories, the romance seemed to progress very, very quickly, but the characters were endearing so I didn't mind so much. Meaghan and Griff both seemed somewhat fragile. We got a bit of Griff's back story, but I would have liked to know just a little more about Meaghan. It almost felt like she had some dormant genetic connection to magic. I would have liked to have seen that explored further.I have a weakness for stories with a touch of magic... or even more than a touch. With this one, the magic I got was good stuff. I loved the mystery of the mer-people, and the music and lure of the sea were nicely told. I did sometimes feel that the magic was as elusive as the mermaid of the story, though. I kept reaching for just a little more... only to have it slip away.Overall, an enjoyable read. I look forward to reading more from this author.
