Release Date: February 27, 2017

From New York Times bestseller Katy Regnery comes a new twist on a beloved fairytale.

In this modern retelling of The Little Mermaid, a fisherman's daughter from an Outer Banks island untouched by time, meets the son of the North Carolina governor at a fancy party she helps to cater.

Laire, who wants more from life than her little island can offer, is swept away by wealthy, sophisticated Erik, who is, in turn, entranced by her naiveté and charm. The two spend a whirlwind summer together that ends on the knife-point of heartbreak and forces them to go their separate ways.

Years later, when fate finds them together once again, they will discover the terrifying depth of the secrets they kept from each other, and learn that shattered hearts can only be healed by a love that willfully refuses to die.

All novels Katy Regnery’s ~a modern fairytale~ collection are written as fundraisers. 10% of the e-book sales for in March and April 2017 will be donated.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Regnery started her writing career by enrolling in a short story class in January 2012. One year later, she signed her first contract and Katy’s first novel was published in September 2013.

Twenty-five books later, Katy claims authorship of the multi-titled, New York Times and USA Today Blueberry Lane Series, which follows the English, Winslow, Rousseau, Story, and Ambler families of Philadelphia; the six-book, bestselling ~a modern fairytale~ series; and several other standalone novels and novellas.

Katy’s first modern fairytale romance, The Vixen and the Vet, was nominated for a RITA® in 2015 and won the 2015 Kindle Book Award for romance. Katy’s boxed set, The English Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1–4, hit the USA Today bestseller list in 2015, and her Christmas story, Marrying Mr. English, appeared on the list a week later. In May 2016, Katy’s Blueberry Lane collection, The Winslow Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1-4, became a New York Times E-book bestseller.

In 2016, Katy signed a print-only agreement with Spencerhill Press. As a result, her Blueberry Lane paperback books will now be distributed to brick and mortar bookstores all over the United States.

Katy lives in the relative wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, two dogs, and one Blue Tonkinese kitten create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories begin at home.

Don't Speak by Katy Regnery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Title:Don't Speak
Author: Katy Regnery

  





The Little mermaid is by far my favourite fairytale - as much as the Disney version as the urban legend version. So it's no wonder that when I saw that Katy Regnery wrote her own version of the tale, I had to get my hands on it. It was a beautiful tale of Laire, the fisherman's 'princess' daughter, who meets Erik, the congressman's son, while making a delivery to his summer home for a party. Their connection and attraction is instant and because of their upbringing and backgrounds, they decide that keeping their summer love and relationship a secret is the only way to go. That is of course, until their secret is found out and too many are willing and ready to do anything to keep them apart.

  


Don't Speak was a beautiful and captivating story that took all of the best elements of the different versions of the tale and put them in one titillating story. I was breathless and really hoped (even if i knew it was coming) that the bad guys wouldn't get the upper hand over the young couple. Getting to the end to find out what would happen didn't happen fast enough and I know i'll be looking out for Kate Regnery in the future for more from her.
