I must admit, when I heard Yvette was working on a story about a mermaid I was excited to see exactly what she'd come up with. when I started reading the story I immediately thought about the Tom Hanks movie Splash about a man that falls for a Mermaid. That was were the similarities ended. This was the story of lifeguard Lialani who spent most of her life until her twenty-fifth birthday believing she was a human.when she has to rescue a little girl from drowning and that's when everything changes once she hits salt water turns into a mermaid while saving the little girl. Washed up on the beach unconscious in Mermaid form greedy Marine Biologist seek to capitalize off of their discovery. There's this one sleazy guy Jim who just wants to have sex with her. Than when fellow Marine biologist Kyle is told about the discovery is curious and goes to visit Lianlani who is kept in a tank. He realizes from everything he knows unless Lialani is freed she will eventually die. After catching Jim removing Lialani from the tank with the intention of having his way with her Kyle puts the kibosh on Jim's plan. Without giving too much away once he rescues Lialani from being violated their adventure ensues and Lialani discovers some things about her true identity and decisions have to be made determining  whether they have a future together. I enjoyed this story and I look forward to seeing more from this author.
