2nd book in the Miami Mermaids series.  This is NOT a read alone novel.  I didn’t read book 1 (Oceans of Love) and I was pretty confused by a lot of what was going on during Sweetest Curse.While I was confused… I still enjoyed the story.  I haven’t read very many (or any?) mermaid stories (outside of way too much time spent with The Little Mermaid with my girls.)  I missed out on the explanations I’m sure are given in the first book; how Marissa came to live on land, how Marissa and Wyatt met, how Zeus and Poseidon and the rest of the mythological characters fit.  But, anyone can follow the story of a mermaid (shape-shifter?) and human falling in love and getting caught up in overcoming a curse.What I REALLY found interesting was reading the book with the author, Susan D. Taylor, and her daughter in mind.  After signing up to review this book I received an e-mail from the author thanking me for reading and giving a little background on Ondine’s Curse (which the book is based on).
