5.0 out of 5 stars A great Victorian, 13 Jul 1997
By A Customer
Titus Thorne is famous for his work exposing scientific quacks and charlatans. When he returns to the College of Cardinals in Oxford where he is the chair of the Ichthyology Department, his peers assign him the job of discrediting Celeste Ashton. The press and the public are having a feeding frenzy over Celeste's work "The Secret Life Of Dolphins". The excitement caused by her sensational book and its accompanying shrilling publicity gets Celeste an invitation to speak at the prestigious joint meeting of the Zoological and Oceanographic societies. Instead of critical acclaim from her male compatriots, the scientists ridicule her work. Though dismayed by their treatment, Celeste dares one of her critics, Titus, to observe her as she proves her claims to be true. Titus is forced to accept her challenge.

Titus travels to Celeste's home where he spends a fortnight with the young writer and her zany grandmother. Almost immediately, Titus and Celeste are extremely attracted to each other, an attraction encouraged by Celeste's Nana. However, Titus is here to expose the woman as a charlatan out to make a quick pound. Though he now loves her, he still doubts her claims, leaving no chance for a future together to develop. if he does not remove the seaweed from his brain, he will lose something more precious than scientific research, he will lose the love of a lifetime.

Betina Krahn proves that she is one of the best writers of Victorian romance with her classy new novel, THE MERMAID. The minute details of the scientific community and its research methodology enhances an already intriguing story line that is simply superb. The reference to Jules Verne is sheer brilliance. However, it is the constant chauvinistic attitude of the all male scientific community towards a female researcher that makes this novel one of the best historical romances of the year and will be well received by fans of the sub-genre. This is one book heading straight to the keeper shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars very interesting book, 30 Jan 1998
By A Customer
I have found all of the books I have bought by Tina humorous and delightful. They add many hours of smiles. I am always checking Walden Book Store at the mall wondering if she has another release.
