"Soul Song" by Marjorie M Lui (21)
She's a fiddle player with Voodoo magic, he's a sex slave Merman. They fight crime!
Overall I thought this was ok but underwhelming. I wrote a short review on my lj.
A question for people who've read more of her books (the only other I've read is "Red Heart of Jade"): do all her couples fall immediately in love the moment they meet? I didn't mind in "Red Heart.." since they were childhood sweethearts, but I didn't really believe it in this one, and I vaguely recall someone complaining about a similar problem with another of her books. Given that these are romance novels it's not much fun if I find the romance unengaging :/
