Product Description:
As Fred the Mermaid tries to fit in with her own kind, she finds herself hooked on both Artur, the High Prince of the undersea realm, and Thomas, a hunky marine biologist. She's also caught between two factions of merfolk: those happy with swimming under the radar-and those who want to bring their existence to the surface.

Fred's back and this book we get to meet more of the Undersea Folk, they're having a meeting in the Cayman Islands to decide something rather big: Whether or no they should reveal themselves to human as a reality or if they should stay the myth that so many believe.
Cute, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Again if you like Chick Lit, I'd recommend starting with her.

It really pains me to speak ill of MaryJanice Davidson's writing since some of her books are my favorite books. HOWEVER, Swimming without a Net is just terrible, you'd think she hired someone else to imitate her style and crank out as many new books as possible. The very first book in this series wasn't great, but it was still entertaining and when this book came out I was eager to read it. It fell waaaaaaaaaay below my expectations (and having read Swimming with the Fishes, I'd already lowered them drastically). Characters I'd found likeable in the very first book became REALLY annoying, there were scenes that weren't necessary and seemed to just be filler so the page count could go beyond 200, UGH! *spoiler alert* 1)What was the point of introducing the foster kids?! 2)Why did Jonah become so whiney? 3)What was the point of Dr. Barb showing up? 4)Why is Thomas so fickle now?! BOOOO!!!!! Is it just me or does it also feel like a setup, that Fred's gonna meet her real dad in the subsequent book? I would've given it 1 star, except I feel bad since MJD has delivered in the past and it feels so wrong being the very first person to give her 1 star review. Borrow from the library, don't buy!

This is the essence of a "light read," low in both carbs AND taste. The premise holds promise, but the author fails to deliver substance. She chooses to write in the very first person point of view only, which left me wanting to know what the other characters were thinking and which left them looking like cartoon characters. Though I tried, it was hard to like "Fred," the lead character. I couldn't quite understand why her two boyfriend possibilities found her so charming, since we never get to know what's going on in their minds. Fred comes across as annoying at best and petulant at worst. The only slightly interesting character is Jonas, and it would have been useful to watch the plot unfold from his point of view for a few paragraphs.
The use of Fred's penchance for earthy language, while insuring that the reader understands the contemporary time frame and Fred's rowdiness, is at very first amusing, but soon seems gratuitous. The point is made after the very first 10 pages, no need to keep clobbering the reader every 5 pages. We "get it."
Ultimately, while the plot had potential, the author failed to use it to her advantage, and I could easliy believe that she wrote it while doing 4 loads at the laundromat on a Saturday to meet a deadline by her publisher.

I enjoyed this book. It was fun and entertaining. Reading this book was like catching up with old friends. I read this book in a day. It was not as good as the very first book but still good and worth reading.

for the record, i love fantasy and romance. I am not a tough customer. Unfortunatly this book although ripe with potential, sadly lacks in both. there is very little plot, and even less romance. the only steamy sene occurs in the fist book, and even there its lacking. I actually had to force myself to struggle through till the end, which by the way, left me high and dry.
