Blurb:
Meena has a secret guarded closely by her family—a secret as dangerous as the sea, and buried just as deep. When court appointed community service workers are assigned to Flukes, the family-owned animal sanctuary, everyone is on high alert. It doesn’t help that Meena finds herself attracted to sexy-as-sin Blake Weathering, one of the new workers. If he wasn’t so distracting, she might be able to land Flukes a much-needed cruise line contract.

Blake Weathering, the first in his family to attend public school, has developed a tough image. Unfortunately it lands him in trouble. Now banned from his high school graduation ceremony, getting his diploma is dependent upon a community service gig cleaning fish crap. No diploma, no trust fund fortune—and no way to escape his overbearing father. The last thing he needs is the distraction of a mysterious girl with teal eyes who pulls at his heart strings.

When Blake discovers Meena’s secret, they are both thrown into a desperate search for information about her past. Two worlds pull them in opposite directions, and they will have to fight to hold onto all that really matters.

Review:
I have to say that when I read the Dark Betrayal trilogy by Nichole Chase, I knew she'd pop out a novel that was a more R rated than her young adult books.  She has a fantastic way of making you feel emotions and those hot and sexy ones are no exception.  Remember Ree and Paden's kitchen scene? Yeah, well, just wait until you get to Meena and Blake's beach scene. Holy hot!

This is the very first book I've ever read about mermaids (other than The Little Mermaid to my kids) and I'm hooked.  I'm really hoping that Nichole is making a series of these.

If you haven't read anything by miss Chase, you should. She'll make you laugh, cry, and love.  I recommend all of her books and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

A part to remember:
I had gone on a group date with Violet once, but that was more to be her wingman.  The boy I had been paired with was allergic to seafood, which had made me incredibly nervous.  I had spent the whole night avoiding his attempts to hold my hand because I was worried I'd send him into anaphylactic shock.
