  <default_description>Fred the Mermaid has taken the bait and chosen to date Artur, Prince of the Black Sea, over human marine biologist Thomas. And just in time. The existence of the Undersea Folk is no longer a secret, and someone needs to keep them from floundering in the media spotlight. Fred has all the right skills for that job, but has a hard time when her real father surfaces and tries to overthrow Artur&#8217;s regime.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Nice wrap up to the Fred the Mermaid Trilogy.  Questions are answered, loose ends are tied up.  Fred is now the liaison between the Undersea Folk (UF) and the Surface Dwellers, since some of the UF have decided to show themselves to humans.  She navigates the two different worlds pretty well, and pr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76194837">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another disappointing short-change from Davidson. If the font weren't so huge, and the spacing so absurdly stretched, this would barely qualify as a novella. At this point, Davidson is probably as stupidly rich as her unrealistically, and uniformly wealthy characters. I don't understand why she can'...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42412909">more...</a>]]></body>

In this one, she's helping the Sea-peo- er, Undersea Folk, come out of the water closet, so to speak.

    <body><![CDATA[I think the whole series could have been developed a little bit better. All of the books feel rushed.  Then again, it is a paranormal romance about a mermaid... I didn't hate reading it, and it is a very quick book to get through. Bottom line, if you liked the other two books you'll like this one.
