Description from the publisher:

She’s terrified of the ocean

Marina owner Erica Peck might live near the water, but no way will she ever, ever go in the water.  Not since The Incident.  But given a choice of facing a bullet or going into the water to retrieve a stolen treasure, she might end up as fish food either way.

He lives under the sea.

Reel Tritone, second son of the king of the Mers has always been fascinated by Humans.  As the Spare heir, Reel doesn’t have a tail.  Or much purpose.  But when the devil-may-care ne'er-do-well sees a woman about to become a shark snack, he only has one choice.  Even though it’s kinda, sorta, totally against the rules to turn a Human into a Mer, even to save her life.

The OMG-OMG-OMG totally naked tailless merman is a hallucination, right?  But it’s all too real when a death edict sends Erica and Reel on a madcap underwater mission to retrieve stolen treasure from a vengeful ex sea-goddess.  Even if they survive, how can they stay together when he’s a merman and she’s afraid of the water?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IN OVER HER HEAD is the first book in the Magically Ever After series.  Each will stand on their own, but I would highly recommend reading them all and in the order of release.

The only negative I can say about this book is that it sorely needs some editing love.  Especially with it being a re-release, somebody should have fixed simple spelling and elementary grammar errors by now.  For example, when I read about the diamonds being in her grandfather’s turn… this takes me out of the fantasy of the story.

As I said, that is the only negative.  The rest is make-my-heart-happy, humorous, fantasy romance.  There are great puns in the fashion of Piers Anthony and talking sea creatures that I expected to start singing Calypso music at any moment (the newt play the flute; the carp play the harp…). 

IN OVER HER HEAD is cute.  It is silly.  It is light-hearted.  It is just what I needed to escape reality for a few hours.

I’m looking forward to the next re-release from this series.  Reel’s brother, Rod is about to hook his fish on dry land!

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
