When the last eligible bachelor on her island marries, single mom, Regina sees her chance to marry disappear. Now she is also the caterer for Caleb’s wedding. Could fate be more evil to her? She grabs a bottle of wine and goes to the beach to console herself, where she suddenly meets Caleb’s long lost brother, Dylan Hunter.
Dylan is a mysterious man, he is half human, half selkie. Due to several occurrences he resents everything human and prefers a life in the sea, but his prince sent him to the island to investigate the sudden Demon interest in the island. Although once he discovers Regina he is interested in something other than his mission. They spend the night with each other, but both of them forget about birth control and suddenly it could be that they are part of a prophecy, although Dylan just wanted one night without commitment. What will the future bring for them?

SEA FEVER has with the Selkies legend, a not so typical element of the paranormal romance world and sets itself apart from the rest, which I really like. Ms. Kantra tells her readers not only the interesting development of the love story of Regina and Dylan, but you get also more information on the Hunter family history. Therefore I recommend that you read SEA WITCH before starting with SEA FEVER, I made the mistake of not doing that and I couldn’t get a copy of SEA WITCH fast enough, so learn from my mistake.
Ms. Kantra delivers with SEA FEVER a very entertaining story, with unusual characters. Regina as well as Dylan are complex characters and the reader will soon get enthralled by Ms. Kantra’s story telling. Personally I had a hard time to put this book down and I can hardly wait to read the next book, SEA LORD, which will be released May 2009.
