Fred is not your ordinary mermaid. She's not blonde. She's not buxom. And she's definitely not perky. In fact, Fred can be downright cranky.

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.

Fred is awesome. Several times I was laughing so hard I cried. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I was very disappointed with this book.It was just like a very bad version of the Queen Betsy series. I kept reading hoping the storyline would pick up, but by pg122 I just had enough.
