Product Description

"The day you get married, is supposed to be the happiest day of your life. Dreams are made of such things. But I forgot. I could blame the witch if I wanted to - in fact I did, for quite a while after - but the fault can only lie with me. Being with him made me so happy - so very, very happy - that I chose to forget. I chose amnesia. If I had had any foresight into how my flippant choice would ruin him, I would have saved him the heartbreak. I would have forfeited my knowing him, my own selfishness, lived forever in the pain of unfulfillment, if it meant he could be spared...."

When you love someone so much that your heart aches without them in your life, would you give up everything you've ever known to be with them? Would you give up your identity?

This is exactly what Aria did. But her sacrifice comes at a great cost, with startling consequences. With no memory of her previous life, she's forgotten what she really is, and who she's left behind: a jealous, possessive God, who's finally found her, and will stop at nothing to keep her heart from ever straying again.

In this dark and erotically passionate retelling of The Little Mermaid, can a love founded on humanity, stand the passing of time, an angry sea-God, and even death itself?



Publisher's Notes:
The English translation of the original story, Den lille Havfrue, by Hans Christian Anderson, works out at just under 10,000 words. This retelling is just over 10,000 words. Source: thelittlemermaidretold.blogspot.co.uk/p/about-original-story.html

5.0 out of 5 stars loved it! 30 Mar 2012
By carly
Format:Kindle Edition
'Til Death Do Us Part is a 10,000 (approx) word novelette, and is an adult retelling of Disney's The Little Mermaid story. It was just what I needed, short, snappy and brilliantly sexy. It is a million leagues away from the Disney story & that's just the way I liked it.

Aria makes a deal with an evil sea witch, she becomes human, to be with her love, Simon. But as always there are conditions, Aria won't remember who she was before and Simon must never give her his heart. She agrees, eager to be with her love. Some time passes and Aria and Simon marry. After the ceremony Simon fully gives his heart to the beautiful Aria.

The spell is broken and Aria is forced back down to the depths of the ocean, broken hearted. Many years pass, then something unexpected happens.

To have loved and lost is better than never to have loved at all, In my opinion, but to have to make the decision to do it to do it twice is truly heart rendering.

I loved this tautly written piece from Dianna Hardy, I would of loved it to be longer.

And I will definitely be looking out for more works from Dianna.

4.0 out of 5 stars I used this as a bit of research! 20 May 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Namely for ideas on Mermaids. Certainly put a new slant on the fairytale, without spoiling it. Enjoyed reading it, but watch out it is a short story only.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful and emotional 31 Mar 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
I read this book because I love Dianna's writing and I was not disappointed.
I was quickly drawn into the story and could not put it down. I cried throughout most of the book but thankfully was rewarded with a great ending. Thanks Dianna for another wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modern Little Mermaid 12 Sep 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I was lucky enough to win this book from the author, but would have happily downloaded it.

An adult telling of The Little Mermaid, which is much darker and sexier than the story readers will remember.

A quick read that's heart-warming, emotional and explicit at times. Life and love come full circle, and makes you think about what you would give up to make the one you love happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simon 8 July 2012
By Wanda
Format:Paperback
I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
This is a short adult retelling of the classic little mermaid story.
Although an adult story and at times explicit it is a sad story about hope and love.
At one stage of the story the mermaid remembers being human, and seeing a rainbow over a bridge and the beauty of it. The book is filled with little snippets like these, making the reader aware of how much we truly take for granted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartbreakingly Beautiful! 2 Jan 2012
By L. E.
Format:Kindle Edition
(Reviewed because I won a copy of the book.)

Dianna Hardy's adult re-telling of the classic "The Little Mermaid," is both beautiful, and heart-breaking.

Based on the original fairytale, "'Til Death Do Us Part," is set in the modern day, and has a lovely dose of mythology and magic. The book was wonderfully written, and despite the sacrifice and pain Aria has to go through - like a true fairytale - this story shows that true love really will conquer all.

Must read for any lover of fairytales!
