Title: In Over Her HeadAuthor: Judi Fennell
Series: Mer
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Year: 2009
Summary: He Lives Under the Sea...
Reel Tritone is the rebellious royal second son of the ruler of a vast undersea kingdom, and he's always been fascinated by humans...
She's terrified of the Ocean...
Marina owner Erica Peck would never go swimming willingly--but she's forced into the water and is nearly eaten by a shark. Luckily Reel is nearby to save her, and he discovers she's the women he's been searching for...
Before she knows it, Erica is off with Reel on a wild underwater adventure to recover a stolen treasure, battle a jealous sea monster, and, of course, defy a death edict from the kingdom's high court. But even if they make it through their madcap mission alive, can they find a way to stay together when she hates the water and he cant' survive on land?
Thoughts: When I first picked up this book I wasn't too sure I was gonna like. But I really loved it. It was a fast page turner that I couldn't put down. If you enjoy reading about fantasy creatures you'll enjoy this one. Some of the underwater creatures remind me of the characters in The Little Mermaid, which I love. But this book is very much for adults. In Over Her Head was a wonderful surprise of adventure, wonderment and steamy fun.
I highly recommend In Over Her Head. It'll definitely be on my Top 20 at the end of the year.
Score: 5 Stars

ReplyDeleteAwesome, Anna! I'm so happy to hear this one was so good. I'll move it up and read it soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear it is good! I see it at B&N all the time and I've picked it up and put it down more times than I can count. I'm going to go and get it!! Great review Anna!:)
ReplyDeleteGreat review Anna...I loved Reel's story - it was sweet and sexy. I'm really looking forward to Rod's story come November.
ReplyDeleteSounds good, but now I can't help wondering how she survives under water
ReplyDeleteGood morning! Soooooooo glad you enjoyed Reel's story! I had an utter blast writing it (which I'm told is easy to see in the writing). And I'm thrilled to see so many people are going to read it. As a debut author, it's tough to get people to spend a limited discretionary income on someone new, so thank you thank you for such a glowing review that people are willing to take the chance!
ReplyDeleteI read this one in two sittings and that's only because I wanted coffee!
ReplyDeleteMorning Judi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I love finding new authors, and it's just wonderful when their writing and story click. I really enjoyed Rod's story. I'm looking forward to reading Reel's. :)
Thanks, Anna. I also picked up OVER HER HEAD a couple times and put it back because I was waffling. It sounds like I'll definitely have to buy it next time. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a definate "buy". I was jumping up and down waiting for this to come out, and it was worth the wait! A sexy hero, a strong heroine, hilarious secondary characters, and an out-of-this-world setting. This is a great summer read!
ReplyDeleteAnna,
ReplyDeleteI have this one on my wish list. :) I'm glad to know you enjoyed it.
