The first of what looks to be a new series for MJD. Featuring a half human/half mermaid named Fred who works at the New England Aquarium. Fred is brash to the point of rudeness, and allows few people close to her. When a visiting marine biologist (who is also a secret romance novelist) seems to be very attracted to her, and then the Prince of the Merpeople shows up demanding fealty -- and both want to woo Fred -- well, things are a bit tricky to manage. Throw in her best friend who is in love with her boss and her hippy, trippy (yet filthy rich) parents. It's a madcap story!

Although this is not a Queen Betsy book, I like it. It really is two love stories in one. It was a quick, amusing read; great for a lazy afternoon. Fred is a bit off-putting but she develops a more "human" side by the end of the book.

This is a great book. One of the few authors that literally cracks me up everytime I read one of her books.

I haven't read many of Mary Janice Davidson's books, but thhis one did peak my interest. It's not my favorite, but I would consider it in my top 15 favorites. If you like mermaids, or wonder what it might be like if they were real, I think most would enjoy this book. Plus it's the beginning of a series, so there's more to come.
