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 200 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 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 300-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 johnsonless Selkie is not something to which I aspire.
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 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.

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.
This is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud funny story. The characters are entertaining and a little crazy, there is plenty of humor and of course romance. A great story!
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.
What a great book. The "LAUGH OUT LOUD" kind. I found it hard to put the book down -- so I ended up reading it in one sitting. Funny, fast paced and fabulous. Can't wait for the next book in this ever so delightful series. (Note to reader - do not eat or drink while reading this book - it could prove messy).
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!
Oh. My. Gosh. I haven't read a book that fun in a very, very long time! I want to say that it was an adult children's book, or a book of erotica told with a child's story. I can't really verbalize exactly what it was to me, but I can tell you that I laughed so hard from the first page to the last! And I laughed out loud, tears a few times too.
First, the characters are on Paradise Island. The story is told in two POV's: Ariel, 200 years old (or on earth), and Keith, at least 300 years old. Ariel has 3 sisters: Missy, Madison, and Tellulah (sorry if spelling is wrong but I only had audio). They run a Bermuda Triangle Island tourist business and they are trying to make a go of it with the business.
I seriously LOVED the playfulness of this story, the characters are all sea characters: octopuses, crabs, seahorses, sea slugs, and mermaids (or "swimming hookers" as Pirate Doug would call them).
There is romance and the finding one's soul mate and it's just too cute. And the bantering that goes on between the male characters is hilarious! Phrases such as "ass-whacker," "mother humper," talk about "sweet Poseidon in a tutu," and Keith's constant talk about his man parts or his "fabulous Johnson."
I really hope others will read this book because it's just so fun!
What is a girl to do when her man wants a housekeeper?
Ariel is a beautiful Mermaid, who longs to see life outside the holiday resort she runs with her Sisters. But there are problems. The only hunk ever to make an impression on beautiful Ariel, seemed more interested in her ability to feed him! Keith can't understand why his Parents have left him and his Brother to fend for themselves. But at over three hundred years old, Momma feels her boys need to man up! When Ariel and Keith meet again, something needs to change. Will Ariel get her happy ever after? Does Keith grow up? With the aid of various supporting characters, including a Lobster with an attitude problem, all these questions and more are answered. Fun and a few surprises not to be missed.
This is a fast paced entertaining read full of snark. Learn new curse words while you enjoy this crazy made-up world that only Robyn Peterman could come up with. How could you go wrong with selkies, mermaids, and an honest to goodness Goodfella? Laugh out loud till the people around you think you have lost your mind and get this one!
OMG. These mates are looney!!! I needed a good laugh and this was just what the doctor ordered. These mermaids are kicking ass. Then they bring in their other friends and a good time is read by all. A must read series.
Another laugh-out-loud, zany installment in the Sea Shenanigans series. Warning, you won’t be about to put this book down once you start. So clear your afternoon and spend some time on Mystical Isle with Ariel & Keith. Love, love, love Robyn Peterman and her whacked-out brain!!
This is the second book in the series and I have never laughed so hard . Ariel is bored with her life on the island . She craves adventure and love . But the only man that has her heart is a selkie that is more of a child then a man . When the Krakens decide to attack the island it is up to Keith and Ariel to save the day . This is a laugh out riot of a read . The characters are hilarious and oh so well written . Ariel is such a fun mermaid . She wants to have fun and adventure . She seems to want a life outside her family . You will get a kick out of her . Keith well he is a man who has been spoiled rotten by his mother and father . He must learn how to be a man and get his power . That everyone seems to know about but his brother and him . Trust me guys you will laugh so hard at theses characters .

This is a fast read you can have it done in an afternoon at the beach . The author has hit it out of the park with this book. The way she can take a character and turn them upside down and then give them what she wants is so much fun to read . The characters are zany and the stories are a fun read . So if you want some great books for the beach check them out
This is a great book; this is the second book in the Sea Shenanigans series written by Robyn Peterman. Ariel is a mermaid she along with her sisters live on Mystical Isle and run a tourist trap for humans. Her sister has found her mate and Ariel is jealous because she wants to find her own mate. She is bored and wants an adventure. She jumps at the chance to leave the island even though her job is to track down the sexiest most idiotic man-seal (selkie) she has ever had the misfortune of meeting who happens to still invade her dreams on a regular basis. This book has so many outrageous characters in it that it will keep you up reading way past your bedtime because you will not want to put it down. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
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!
I eagerly awaited the next book in the Sea Shenanigans series Ariel’s Antics, by Robyn Peterman. After her first book in the series, Tallulah’s Temptation, I couldn’t imagine the series getting better, or funnier. I’m pleased to announce, I was wrong! WAY WRONG! It’s so good and so funny I was laughing out loud...again! Ariel is a chip off her sister’s block! She’s funny, feisty, lusty and has fallen for the completely wrong creature, or so she thinks! Robyn has thrown in our favorite mermaid’s and their tourist trap, the usual pirates, stinky sea hags some new characters. Some selkies, friendly fish, a shifter and some not so friendly foes! It was funny and romantic and complete and leaving me for the next swig of rum! So write fast Robyn, I can’t wait for the next one!!!
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!
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 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.
Maybe I'm just partial since the Little Mermaid was one of my favorite movies as a kid, but this may be my favorite Robyn Peterman series so far. That, and apparently all of my swim lessons students secretly thought I was a mermaid in high school lol, since I had long red hair and was on the swim team.
5 Candi Kisses and More Sea Antics Again, Robyn Peterman pens a tales so funny and fun you can't put it down. The Weird and Wacky mind of Robyn Peterman should be a national treasure. You can never go wrong reading on of Robyn's books.
**WARNING - No Drinking and eating reading this book, and you would serve yourself well by visiting the restroom before you start reading**
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 have no idea how anyone can come up with as many gross insults as Robyn does, but it sure makes these stories even funnier although you wouldn't think it possible.
With a group of kracken heading to the Mystical Island owned by Ariel and her three mermaid sisters, it's up to them to find a way to save the island and get the kracken to leave their island in peace. With guidance from Pirate Doug, the sisters know they must find the only creatures that can talk to the sea life - selkie brothers Keith and Kurt.
Having their parents leave them to fend for themselves, the two are panicked, and flee to the Pirate Sven to help teach them their gifts, and how to take care of themselves like adults.
Many years before Ariel and Keith had shared a short fling, but Keiths immaturity ended the relationship before it even had a chance to get started. Still, when Ariel learns that Keith is one of the people she's looking for, she insists that she be the one to go find them - and hopes he's managed to grow up since she last saw him.
When Keith and Ariel finally reunite, the tenderness and caring that Keith shows to Ariel does a lot to ease Ariels concerns. The two share some hysterical banter - Keith is most definitely immature and brash, but she can't help but be drawn to him. As for Keith - he knew the moment he first laid eyes on Ariel all those years ago that she was the mermaid for him - and he will do anything to get his second chance.
Ariels Antics will make you belly laugh and snort your soda out of your nose if you're not careful - I am so looking forward to her sisters stories - After Ariel and her sister Tallulah found true love (Tallulah's Temptations, book 1 of Seas Shenanigans) you know its just a matter of time before the two middle sisters are starting out on their own crazy adventures to find true love.
The second book in the Sea Shenanigans series by Robyn Peterman is Ariel's Antics. Ariel, a little mermaid, is tired of waiting for her true love to show up. Wait a second! Did I just type that Ariel is a little mermaid? Yes...yes I did. Oh, yeah, Ariel is not her real name, she just likes to be called that because its more fun than her real name. Anyway Ariel volunteers to find the Kracken whispers to save her island from being destroyed. But in order to do that she needs to swallow her pride and speak to the guy who asked her if she likes to cook and do laundry, while they were banging. Keith is another man-boy who suffers from being a guy. (The psychological disorder for grown men who suffer from being unable to move past the mental age of 13-15 years old.) He's over three hundred and still lives in his parents' basement with his brother. As a Selkie living on Paradice Island, he never thought that he had to do anything more than exist and obsess over Aquaman. But when his parents decide to relocate, Keith and his brother must grow up or starve. Overall, this was another hilarious addition to an already really funny and creatively written series.
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.
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.”
You go through this book so fast, time flies when you read a book by RP. On the second one we get Ariel's story, who is dying to get an adventure that will take her far from home and will also help her find her one true love, she get's more than she wanted when Pirate Doug asks for her help with some nasty kraken business. Enter Keith, the mamma's boy selkie that she can't seem to forget and is on the path of proving himself a real man. I laughed SO HARD with this book, specially when Keith talked to the other sea creatures (hint: cheating lobsters); you're way too much for me Robyn, but you got yourself a die hard fan over here! NEXT!
