The second in Judi Fennell's unusual romance series, Wild Blue Under introduces us to Rod Tritone, a prince of Atlantis. Rod Tritone is given the difficult task of finding a distant relative Valerie Dumere and convincing her to accept her unique inheritance, the governorship of the Southern Ocean. All he has to do is bring her to the ocean or the sea, one drop of seawater will cause Valerie to grow her mermaid tail. Having lived his entire life in Atlantis, Rod Tritone's vocabulary and experienc

Its not really an exaggeration to say I adored the first book, In Over Her Head about Rod's younger twin brother Reel and his love o'life Erica and eagerly looked forward to what adventures the stick in the mud Rod could get into while getting his own love o'life. Mer people are one of those devices in fiction that catch my attention pretty quickly. Hot Mer Men with ironic names, pop culture references with a distinctly Mer people twist, snarky fish, belligerent seagulls...honestly I can go on l

"Wild Blue Under" is the second book of author, Judi Fennell's Mer Trilogy, and the first of hers I have read and definitely won't be the last, either! I will definitely going back and buying book #1 "In Over Her Head" which is about Reel, Rod's brother. However, "Wild Blue Under" didn't suffer at all as a stand alone.
I will say first and foremost, I totally giggled at the Tritone's names, dad's name is Fisher, sons Rod and Reel. I have to throw that out More...

This is Book #2 in the Tritone Trilogy and I liked it even better than the first book--which I liked alot! It's such a refreshingly different paranormal romance series and as impossible as Mer people may seem, Ms. Fennell does a magnificent job of making seem completely possible . The hero in "Wild Blue Under", Rod Tritone is the heir to the throne of Atlantis and ladies...he's positively delicious. The heroine, Valerie Dumere, is a spunky, independent and delightfully funny lady...or

This is the second in the trilogy of Mer people. It took 358 pages to tell a story that might have done better as a short story. Compared to other authors who write about Mer People this lacked depth. The talking sea gull and other birds did not enhance the story line. Emotionally surface. Very little descriptive writing. Not interested in finishing the Trilogy.

The fun and the intrigue continue in this second book in the Mer series by Ms. Fennell. This time, however, most of the action is inland instead of under the sea. I actually like this book a tad better than In Over Her Head. There’s still a slight lack of the family connection/emotion that I also wanted in the first book, but overall I was highly entertained throughout the story.
Instead of fish as secondary characters, this time around we get birds. From seagulls to sparrows, there’s a More...

I love Judi Fennell’s writing. Wild Blue Under is the second book in her Mer trilogy. It is a perfect complement to her first book, In Over Her Head (which I read earlier this year).
I bided my time before jumping to this one because I knew she didn’t have that many books to choose from and I wanted to slowly savor what I could read.

1 1/2 stars. I probably shouldn't rate this book so low, it wasn't TERRIBLE in a painful sense, but it was profoundly annoying and my eyeballs hurt from rolling them, so, there ya go.
The first 2/3 of the book is borderline crap. I liked Rod, I liked the idea of the storyline, but the execution was a complete failure. The heroine talked to herself constantly about how hot Rod was, then followed it with a "did I just think that" sorta line. I mean, he leaned forward and his More...

Wild Blue Under, by Judi Fennell, is a fine successor to In Over Her Head and another enjoyable read. I would never have believed that stories of mermaids and mermen could be so intriguing till I started on this series. But Judi’s gentle humor and convincing imagination makes it easy for the reader to suspend disbelief and enjoy the curious ride.

In Over Her Head, readers were introduced to Reel Tritone. Well in Judi Fennell’s latest release, readers are again brought back to the magical underwater of mermen and mermaids. This time it is Rod Tritone’s story.

I began this series a bit out of order, I started Wild Blue Under first. It did not confuse me as in the story line but I got a bit annoyed (maybe that is not the right word) with all the under the sea analogies. Every other page something fishy would pop up. For instance, "Oh, Hades!" or "That's it in a conch shell." I was a little tired of it by page 100. Then it began to mellow down. It was as if the longer Rod remained on land the less and less sea analogies he used or ev

I didn't like Valerie Dumere at all. She is easily led and traipses off with Rod Tritone without the slightest idea why. Rod pussy-foots around the reason for the coast visit with some bogus inheritance thing but doesn't actually explain what is going on until that last few chapters of the book. I just couldn't see any normal female person going off on a wild-goose chase with a gorgeous guy and a talking seagull with no real explanation. Then when all the birds chased them for miles and mile

This is the second book in the series by Judi Fennell, with In Over Her Head being the first, and once again I really enjoyed it. For some reason, I had a hard time following what was happening in this book. I think I was trying to remember what happened in the first one and relate it to this one, but it wasn't necessary to do that.

Valerie Dumere doesn't know it yet, but she's destined for greater things. Rod Tritone, next in line to be King to the Mer people walks into her life and turns it upside down. With his good looks and charm, Valerie can't help being attracted to him.
Wild Blue Under is a riveting tale. This story is filled with danger, romance and intrigue. Ms. Fennell has wowed me again with her world of under the sea characters. While I enjoyed the romance between Rod & Valerie, I loved the hilarious More...

Rod is a merman who is supposed to take over from his father who king of the sea. He is sent on a mission to bring back a half human, half mermaid who is located in Kansas. Valerie does not realize that she is part mermaid until Rod comes into her life. However, Rod's time on land is limited and he has to hurry to make Valerie realize that she needs to come back to the sea in order to fulfill a prophecy that will help to protect humans and mers alike. Humorous parts with the birds actually t

Like Over Her Head, the first book in the Tritone Trilogy, Wild Blue Under is a funny, pun-filled read with engaging characters, lots of sexual tension (I'm amazed the hero and heroine didn't die in some of the hairier situations 'cause this couple has a hard time keeping eyes and hands off one another), and a very solid fantasy world created by the author. The undersea kingdom and its residents and rules are very well thought out and the internal logic never falters, along with aquatic puns. I

Having had mixed feelings about the first book in this series, I thought I would give book two a try (since I found it super cheap). I want to say I enjoyed this one a little better than the first, but I still had some problems with it. Mainly, I didn't care for the storyline with the birds, at all (Livingston was fine, and even JR, but the two females birds seemed so out of place and unnecessary). But in the end, I found that I liked Rod and Val. Would I pick up the third book in the series? Ye

I loved Val and how she just rolled with the punches, talking seagulls no problem, birds bombing the car no problem, finding out your have a tie to the mythical mer people and Atlantis no problem, a hot guy taking an interesting in you there is where you question things. How so much like a woman! Rod was kind of a bland character. I did like the part with his family and would love to see more about them. I also liked the part with Zeus and how that

I really enjoyed this book. How can you not love a book with talking birds LOL The second in the Atlantis series, this one focuses on Rod Tritone, Heir to the throne of Atlantis, who is sent to Kansas to bring back Valerie, a half-human/half-mer, who has no idea about her heritage. He's aided in his mission by Livingston, a smart-mouthed seagull! The secondary characters in this book really added to the enjoyment, and its definitely one I would recommend.

Overall, I liked it. My big issue is how easily Valerie left with Rob without demanding an explanation and when she would ask, he wouldn't tell her because (in his mind) she wouldn't understand. This, after being attacked by birds and a talking seagull. I thought she was too easily lead.

Although I never thought I would enjoy a 'fantasy' book I was very taken with the story. Judi Fennell's humor just hooks you pulls you in (pardon the pun). I was astonished at being truly entertained by Livingston's antics.
I would not hesitate to read another of Judi's books
