A tentacled waiter. A grumpy musician. A song that brings them together.

Nereus

I arrived in Miami to learn about the restaurant business so I could sail towards my goal of taking over my dad’s taverna. Or so I thought. Because when I meet Rick, a talented rockstar with a body to die for, my love for music reawakens. In the past, I found out through heartbreak and rejection, that the world wouldn’t accept a musician with tentacles. I can’t jeopardize my future and disappoint my family for a fling with a rockstar, no matter how much me and my tentacles want him.

Rick

After months of creative block and fruitless search for a new sound, I find something even better. A muse. But the waiter with a dimpled smile and talented tentacles becomes so much more to me all too quickly. The music we create together touches my heart, but it’s Ner who finally steals it. His dominant streak hidden behind easy smiles, the alluring shade of his teal skin, and the things he can do with those tentacles blow my mind.

If only he didn't have to return to Greece and the future he had planned before our paths crossed.

*

Nereus and Rick’s lives couldn't be more different, their plans for the future more diverse, but the strength of their connection rivals the pull of the ocean.
Will they have the courage to battle the storm of their lives to choose each other?

Rick and Nereus

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024

This was a really good story, and I liked the main characters a lot. They each had hurts, and it took them a bit to figure out how to be together, but their commitment to others made them more believable and real, and then made their HEA even more satisfying!

Adorable, fated, fun and a bit kinky

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2023

This was a fun book to read. There is a fated mates feel to this and it is rather charming. The two characters, Nereus and Rick, seem perfect for each other. Their personalities compliment each other well. Thing in their relationship happen fast but not quite at the "insta-love/lust" levels often seen.

The different anatomy that Nereus has and the needs that Rick has, leads to some interesting steamy times and things get a bit kinky. This is more bedroom kink over lifestyle and it's nice to see their interactions inside and out of the bedroom. The time that the author took for the characters to get to know each other helped with the relationship feeling like there was a base for a real relationship and HEA over just a relationship based on bedroom antics. It was rather lovely to read.

I like that this is technically a Christmas book, but it's not overtly Christmas. Christmas is just the time of year that the book happens to take place in, and there are some Christmas based events but, the whole book doesn't revolve around the holidays. It's got that light charming holiday feel without the syrupy-sweet hallmark feel.

The only reasons I didn't rate this as 5 stars, is that I did want "something" more. There was just a slightly weird, slightly off disconnect between the characters inside and outside of the bedroom. I also wished there might be more with the characters outside of the bedroom. The "getting to know you" stage happens mostly off page, and once they get hot and heavy, that aspect takes over a bit. But, at the same time there is enough for a solid relationship foundation.

Quick read + Romance = Great story

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

I adored this book! Not only is there a happy ending, there is repairing of family relationships and lots sexy times.

Nereus is an octopus shifter however unlike a full shifter he always has some tentacles visible. This is hard for him sometimes as people being people can be awful. When he meets Rick in the restaurant he’s working in sparks fly. Their friendship begins and their romance follows swiftly. Rick has a few things to admit to Nereus though. Will this break or build them?

I was fascinated by this story. I’m a reader of all genres and so shifters are nothing new. Tentacles though are still new to me. They may not be your thing, but I can guarantee the love story between Nereus and Rick will be. K. C. Carmine pulled so many wonderful strings together to make this story about more than just romance. It’s about family and the strength they bring together. It is a great read and I so enjoyed it.

I devoured this sweet story in one day. Perfect for some Christmas cheer with a big dash of spicy tentacles. Rick and Ner were incredibly sweet together and watching their relationship bloom was a joy. The story and world building was fantastic.

Get Wrapped Up In Tentacles

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2023

I'm a sucker for Tentacles Rock by K.C. Carmine! I knew I would like Nereus because, you know, tentacles. I admit that I had thoughts about tentacles and what could be done with them so I knew it would be a story I wanted to read. I didn't expect how I would react toward Rick, especially how he looks when he performs on stage. Reading it through Nereus' eyes had me fanning myself and I may have read it several times because Rick is fit and performs shirtless, wears tight leather pants, and his trademark mask to conceal his handsome face. Or it could have been that he wears a jock strap under those leather pants...yes jock strap.

Right, back to the book. I love Nereus and Rick's story because it combines everything I love to read in a book. There are the preternaturals, rockstars, phenomenal sex scenes, and main characters you just want to hug in a very pornographic way. I enjoy K.C. Carmine's books because her stories feed my naughty side that likes to color outside the box.

Finding music again and a forever love

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023

Part of a multi-author series (Tinsel and Tentacles), but can be read as a standalone. Quick read. Dual POV. Rick is a famous rockstar that is in a rut since he hasn't been able to write any music since his brother left the band, the only glimmer he gets of his creativity is when he starts talking to the cute waiter he has a crush on. Nereus is only in Miami for a few more weeks, studying restaurant management he plans to help his family business, but when he crosses paths with Rick they connect instantly through their love of music. In a world where preternaturals are a part of society, Rick and Ner find themselves falling fast and hard, but they only have a short amount of time before Ner returns home. Ner and Rick’s attraction simmers as their friendship grows and soon there is plenty of tentacle spice and steamy times between them as well. Both characters are likable, yearning for more but very much aware of their responsibilities to family, but whenever they are together their HEA seems inevitable. Tentacles and sweetness for the holidays, this story hits all the right notes. 4.25

Who knew tentacles could be so 🔥🔥🔥

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 14, 2024

A lovely low angst read packing some major heat.

Rick is your typical brooding musician who has spent years hiding behind a literal mask but opens up beautifully when he meets his muse. Ner is a sunshine in your pocket cinnamon roll who’s determined to enjoy his life before settling down to fulfil his family commitments.

Together they explore what life could be with each other and work to get their HEA and make both their dreams come true.
