Ariel What in the clam shell does a Mermaid have to do to find true love?I’m bored. And if I’m being honest, I’m jealous. I want my sister to have her happily ever after. I do. But I want my own adventures and my own true love. For two hundred years I’ve suffered through one immortal asshat after another while stuck on Mystical Isle. And while running a tourist trap for humans might be … tourist trap for humans might be entertaining, I’m never going to find my true love in this sea of monotony.
Of course, there is a Selkie… the sexiest most idiotic man-seal I’ve ever had the misfortune of swimming across—definitely an asshat. Unfortunately, the dork still invades my dreams on a regular basis.
I finally have a shot at an adventure. I must save our island home. However, the mission is to seek out the very Selkie who stole my heart… the same asshat whose Johnson I’d tried to truncate.
Holy hell and seashells. Only I would agree to a tsunami waiting to happen.
Ask any tuna you happen to see… Who’s the craziest Mermaid? That would be me.
Keith
What in Poseidon’s rum soaked arse does a three hundred year old Selkie do when his parents desert him and leave him to fend for himself?
I mean, my Gods, laundry and cooking are dangerous business.
Wait. What would Aquaman do? More specifically—what would Jason Momoa do?
He would save the day and the damsel… I simply needed to find a day and a damsel to save.
Maybe the only thing missing in my life is the beautiful blue haired Mermaid who wants to lop my Johnson off. Wait. No. A Johnson-less Selkie is not something I aspire to.
And to make matters worse, my mother is up my backside for grand-Selkies…
Grand-Selkies mean I have to impregnate someone. Impregnating someone means that I have to find a mate. Finding a mate means I have to get a job and use my gift—whatever that is.
This could be a problem.
Whatever. I’m going for it. Why?
Because that’s what freakin’ Aquaman would do.

I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest
The characters + storytelling were very captivating
Follow Ariel in her quest to cure her boredom.
How you might ask?
You will have to read the book to find out.
However, a warning, you might not be able to stop laughing while reading this book.
You have been warned!
The storytelling + the character’s build were awesome!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
Sweet Poseidon in a ruffled tutu, it’s another fun-filled adventure on the high seas! Mermaid Ariel’s sister Tallulah has found her mate in Pirate Dave, and Ariel is feeling trapped in her life. Why can’t she have an adventure? Why can’t she find love? The only possible mate she can think of is the dingleberry who wowed her in bed, then (unfortunately) started speaking. He managed to escape with his Johnson attached, but why can’t she stop thinking about him?
Keith is a several hundred year old Selkie with an Aquaman fetish, who still lives with his brother Kurt in their parents’ basement. When some tough love is handed down from Mom and Dad, Keith and Kurt have to try to find their way in the world, or at least learn how to use the killer microwave. He still dreams of the Mermaid he met years ago, even though he has no idea why she tried to dismember his member! All he did was ask if she could cook and do laundry. In the middle of a fabulous boink. Mermaids are insane.
The Kraken are on their way to destroy Mystical Isle and all of the beings therein. Ariel jumps at the chance to save the day – but has to deal with the idiot Selkie to do it. Can they put aside the past to realize they are true mates, and that they belong together? Keith and Kurt have to figure out their gift – what it is and how to use it. Fortunately Crab Shifter Pirate Sven can help them – if they can put aside their juvenile ways long enough and listen.
Along the way, we meet up with Don Guido the lobster, and his fifth wife Stella, his current mistress Carmella, Norm the Kraken, and the Selkies – Kenny and Kate. Returning for this adventure are Bony Velma Dustface, Bonar, Upton, Thornycraft, and of course the rest of the randy bunch!
If you’re looking for high brow literature, this is not your next read. If you’re looking for fun, fast-paced, hilarious adventure, with nard-licking Pirates, phallic shrubbery, and second chances at love – you’ve come to the right place and the right author. Be prepared to be humming songs from a certain mermaid-based animated movie at times, though!
Saggy And Jiggly Bits LMAO! I can’t even begin to describe the mess of knowledge of aquatic life I never thought I needed to know that will never be washed from my brain lol. Love this series and highly recommend you don’t read this in front of people otherwise you have to explain the constant giggling fits whenever the image of a lobster comes to mind.
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This book is number two in a series, but reads well as a stand alone book. Ms. Peterman has once again written a laugh out loud book. This is Ariel (no NOT that one) and Keith’s story. Keith is a selkie, and sadly really stupid! Although he somehow grows on you, rather like mold! Mildly disconcerting!! If you enjoy mythical creatures like sea have and Karmen then you will laugh your head off and truly enjoy this book. If course, there is also romance, adventure and a lobster who loves The Godfather! Don’t miss this one, is it serious-NO. But we’ll worth a read. I give this a 4.5.
The linguistic creativity shown by Robyn Peterman (some of which can never be unseen 😉 ) completely boggles the mind, but it kept me snickering throughout the book
Keith and Kurt are overboard crazy but somehow they grow on you and make you love their insanity like it is a good thing. Ariel I’d have to say it my favorite of the sisters so far, she just has that personality with a side of attitude that will have you cheering her on and Ariel and Keith are just so stinking cute.
Amazingly awesome world to visit, it’s completely silly and over the top and I love it and this book. This book did leave me with one thought though, I want to know if Pirate Sven can be hired out for his housekeeping skills?? 😉
I don’t know how Robyn Peterman does it, but somehow, she made Ariel’s Antics even funnier, more outrageous, more insane than the first one! I know that might sound like a bad thing, but honestly its one of the things I love most about Miss Peterman. And her Sea Shenanigans series so far is beyond amusing. The first book was fun and had me rolling over laughing, but Ariel’s Antics had me laughing so HARD, my sides hurt HOURS after I finished it!
Ariel is a fast paced, full of craziness and snark that will bowl you over with humor! The chemistry between Keith and Ariel is glorious and OFF THE CHARTS H-O-T. The antics that follow through in this book were something ONLY Robyn Peterman could imagine and frankly, it intrigued, delighted and some of it, might of horrified me. I got a real kick out of this book and couldn’t think of anything I enjoy more than a read like this…one that blows the mind!
Ariel’s Antics gets a FRISKY AND FUNNY FIVE BIG SHOOTING STARS!
Well shazam! What a book! First, let me tell you why you should not read this one:
If you are looking for a summer-long book, one to last the season, you should not read this book.
If you are looking for something with a deep and significant message, you should not read this book.
If you want something dark and heavy, you should not read this book.
On the other hand,
If you want a fast, easy to read and enjoy book, you should definitely read this book!
If you are looking for a fun and funny story line, you should definitely read this book!
If you want something light and entertaining, you should definitely read this book!
Yep, this is a typical Robyn Peterman, 5-star effort. It’s fun. It is funny. It is everything you want in an entertaining read and just right for a summer get away, including an island. It is awesome. A word of caution – the language can be a little randy… not profane and not offensive but a little “adult.”
Oh My Gosh!
I have no clue how this writer does it, but this series keeps getting funnier!
Mermaid, Selkies, and even a Goodfella Lobster! Yes I just wrote Goodfella Lobster!!! LOL
I would love to just spend one day in Robyn Peterman’s brain.
An absolutely 5 star hilarious read.
Overall rating: 5
So what can I say about this book that isn’t glaringly obvious? Not much! It is a total riot! These characters are nothing you can prepare yourself for. I can definitely put a warning label out there….this book will increase your ability to cuss in ways and words you never would have thought up yourself. Snarky lovers everywhere , it is time to one click this book, and then shout it out to your clutch, your gaggle, your kindle, or whatever you call your like minded cluster!
Ariel’s Antic’s by Robyn Peterman
Sea Shenanigans book 2. Mermaid and Selkie paranormal romance. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Hilarious, sarcastic and ridiculously enjoyable.
Keith: a Selkie that has lived in his parents basement for three hundred years. Doesn’t know how to cook, do laundry or pretty much anything else life useful. But Poseidon said he had a gift so his parents have hope.
Ariel: looking for adventure and maybe true love. As long as it’s not Keith.
Lots of nards and nuts talk. Ultimately an HEA.
Excerpt:
“There’s a dead Mermaid on the beach and yarr two eejits are gonna stand here and call each other boogers and rectums?”
The Crab made an excellent observation. Was Ariel dead?
My entire world tilted on its axis for a brief moment and I wanted to destroy something. Was Kurt insane? Wait. Did I really talk about Ariel in my sleep? Was my brother so hungry he was seeing things? Was Ariel really on the beach? All of a sudden tomorrow didn’t appeal if Ariel wasn’t in this world anymore. I didn’t even care if she’d come to lop my Johnson off. As long as she was okay, I would be fine and I was a fast runner. I could dodge a sword aimed at my jewels any day of the week.
“Get out of my way,” I roared, shoving Pirate Sven and Kurt to the side as I tore out of the house.
If Ariel was on my beach I needed to save her. I had no clue if my [f..] gift could save Mermaids, but that gorgeous blue haired Mermaid was mine—violent Johnson lopping tendencies and all.”
Excerpt from Ariel’s Antics by Robyn Peterman
the audiobook is narrated by Jessica Almasy and Alexander Cendese. I was impressed by all the voice variances and accents and emotions that Alexander was able to perform. Impressive.
I have a paperback copy (ecopy too!) and followed along partially with the audiobook. Entertaining.
You just have to LOVE an author who makes you laugh harder than ever with every single book she writes, Robyn Peterman is that author for me her stories are that ridiculously funny you can’t help but fall off the bed laughing yourself silly.
Ariel the mermaid and no that’s not her real name…lol but she thought Joan was boring…
Ariel is bored with life, she wants what her sister Tallulah has, well not the most annoyingly stupid pirate in the world but her very own annoyingly stupid man or… maybe even a really stupid, seriously gorgeous Selkie who needs a huge kick up the arrrrrse and Ariel is just the mermaid for the job… Maybe…
Poor Ariel can’t decide if she wants to jump Keith the Selkie or kill him…lol Keith thinks Ariel is just perfect… perfect for him in every way especially if she can cook and clean…lol with thinking like that its totally understandable that Ariel wants to maim the idiot Keith but in the end the heart wants, what the heart wants.
Seriously funny, once you read one Robyn Peterman book you won’t be able to stop, her writing is ridiculously addictive.
