Publisher Description
I’m terrified of the ocean. Which is ironic, given that I own a marina.
But when it’s a choice between a bullet and the water, even a girl with a capital-I Incident in her past has to make a call. Especially when the naked, tailless merman who just saved her life is apparently real — and now she’s been turned into a Mer against every rule in the royal handbook.
Reel Tritone, spare heir to the Mer throne and professional rule-breaker, was just supposed to rescue her. Not upend both their worlds. But there’s a stolen treasure, a vengeful ex sea-goddess, and a death edict with their names on it.
He can breathe underwater. She can barely look at it.
Fish food or fish man — either way, she’s in over her head.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A New Jersey marina owner finds adventure and romance while conquering her fear of the sea in this playful but uninspired debut. When Erica Peck is forced overboard into shark territory by an ex-boyfriend who wants her to recover his lost diamonds, Reel Tritone, the "spare" second son of an undersea king, swims up to save her. Reel gives Erica the ability to breathe water and introduces her to talking fish, sea monsters and strange landscapes. Reel's growing interest in Erica's "shell-fillers" and hers in his "gono" lead to a night of island lust (conveniently, Reel has legs rather than a tail). Fennell's sincere wit is overshadowed by stilted writing full of fishy wordplay, and Erica's self-consciousness turns her visit to an exotic undersea fantasy world into pretty window dressing on a thoroughly traditional romance story.
