3.25 stars.  Francis comes to the island of Sagrario after fleeing a cruel master he was indentured to.  Sagrario is a rare place were men can find comfort in each other without fear.  Despite his harsh past, Francis hopes for more than the occasional one night stand but newcomers to Sagrario are rare and most of the men there are in relationships.One day while sorting through debris on the beach he finds a merman unconscious.  Stunned and immediately protective, Francis takes the man home glad he seems to be able to breathe air as well as in water.  They are only together a day and can only communicate in the most basic of ways but Francis feels connected to this half man/half fish in ways he's never felt about anyone else.  He takes the man, Wick, back to the sea but neither Francis nor Wick can stay away and they keep coming back together finding ways to love each other in the sea.Vaughn does a great job of covering all the questions you'd wonder about how a human and merman could work together and they are both sweet characters.  This is a fairytale, so the ending is somewhat predictable and Francis' despair in the times he's separated from Wick overdone but overall this is a sweet short story of two unlikely lovers.I received a copy of this story free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
