Sweet book. But holy cow! Tony was a snot sometimes with his tantrums and his uncanny habit of getting his way a lot. It sort of got irritating and I usually love kids in books.
I loved seeing Jim spend time in cat form. It was awesome!

Okay, so I've dabbled in reading m/m fanfiction and short stories before, but I have to be honest in saying that this was the first full-length m/m romance novel that I have actually read. I was really drawn to the story after reading the synopsis - I mean, this guy who can turn into a cat ends up in the home of the man who was chosen for a promotion over him. I must say, I am a sucker for romances in which one person initially hates the other, but slowly starts to fall in love as they get to know them. That's one reason why I'm so addicted to Asian dramas.
And in the romance department, this book did not disappoint. Andrew (the new boss) and Jim (the shape-shifter) were absolutely adorable together. You can see that Jim wanted to hate Andrew for getting chosen for a job position over him, but when Andrew started spilling all of his feelings to him while Jim was in his feline form (which Andrew's son, Tony, dubbed Mr. Frosty), he started developing feelings for the man and his son.
But this is where my one issue with the story falls into place - it seems that Jim is almost immediately thrown into the role of the second father to Tony, even though he has only just begun dating Andrew. It wasn't really believable. I just think that the role of a father is a big one, and since Jim and Andrew were just beginning their relationship, to have given Jim the role of a second father to Tony just made the novel seem a bit insubstantial.
Nonetheless, this was a super quick read, and all of the cuteness between Andrew and Jim really sucked me into the story. They both had fears to overcome about being in a relationship, but once Jim knew he was in love with Andrew, his feelings for him never faltered, and vice versa. There weren't a whole lot of sex scenes in the novel, which left more time for emotional development between the characters, but the scenes that were included were nice and steamy. I could have done without the kinkiness, but I'm sure some people may have enjoyed the book more because of it. To each their own, I suppose! ;)
I suggest you give this one a read if you're into really sweet m/m romances with happy endings!

Cute, I really liked Jim as a cat. Things happen way too fast though and were wrapped up too neatly in the end. Also, though Tony acted like a six year old - it was a very bratty and spoiled six year old.

It was a sweet read and I liked the MC's a lot. It was easy to connect with all three of them. Kind of wish there'd been more meat on the bone, though.

Enjoyed it.
It's a fairly non-angsty read (unless you count Jim crossing the road in shifted form), with a precociously precious young boy, fairly insta-love and a bit of spanking to liven things up!

I’ve read this author before. I felt no connection to the main characters. The story was a mm contemporary with a cat shifter. There seems a lot of fighting and angst in this book.
