kathydavie's review
3.0
A prequel to the Superhero Central paranormal romance series (and part of the Time of Your Life series) with the focus on Maggie and Nicholas Goodman.
My Take
Not what I was expecting. Cute romance though. A cat has fallen in love with her human and , in true fairy tale fashion, is granted a week in which to get her human to tell her he loves her. Between twilight and dawn she transforms into a sexy woman working her feline wiles on her love, and during the day, this kitten tortures his fiancée.
Sweet and endearing and without the punch of Kenner's usual style.
The Story
Straight-laced Nicholas Goodman's life was going just fine. All the aspects of his life were tucked neatly into nice little corners, just the way Nick liked it. Until he opened his door and found a completely naked, slightly befuddled, green-eyed beauty on his doorstep.
Maggie had found the man of her dreams — Nick Goodman. He was smart, sexy, and she knew he loved her. Maggie's only problem was ... well, she wasn't entirely human. But Maggie was determined, and through the power of love she was given a chance — and a lithe woman's body. She had one week to convince Nicholas to admit that he loved her. One week to prove that a guy like Nick could fall for "a girl like Maggie". One week to prove that a cat's fancy could be the love of a lifetime.
The Characters
Maggie isn't entirely human. In fact, she's a cat. Nick's cat.
Nicholas Goodman is a straight-laced hotshot attorney who is engaged to a client's cold-blooded daughter, Angela. Deena is Nick's artist sister. Hoop is his best friend and Angela hates him.

Maggie, a black cat, has fallen in love with her owner Nicholas. She goes to the head cat (wth?) and asks to be made human. He grants her the wish under the condition that she has until Halloween (just over a week away) to make him say "I love You". This book was so cheesy! The romance parts were pretty bad. The only redeeming part of this book was the awesome side characters, Deenie and Hoop. Some parts of Maggie finding 'her feet' in the real world were cute. This plot could have made for a fun, lighthearted paranormal story but it just doesn't work here. I apologize to Julie Kenner because everything else I've read by her has been golden.

I randomly picked on of my free kindle books to read while waiting for my pizza and started this one. It was good enough that I finished it later that night.
This is the cat lover's version of The Little Mermaid. It's fun, light, and firmly in the "sweet romance" sub-genre. The author does a good job of handling the transition from cat to human and in a funny and not overbearing way.
There are no real surprises in the plot, but it's a fun journey getting there anyway.
