This is book 3 in the Wishes and Dreams series. It can be read as a stand alone as I have not read the first two but they are on my TBR list. Troy is a veterinarian and is asked by a friend to pick up a Maine Coon cat from the local shelter that was attacked by a dog. He's unaware that the cat is a shifter being hunted by a rogue shifter. Cat is happy to be safe with Troy but decides he needs to meet her in her woman form. The story is a good one with several unusual characters. Looking forward to reading all in the series. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I very much enjoyed this paranormal romance which is a clean, slow-build romance with plenty of action. Troy, a veterinarian, brings home an injured Maine Coon cat who quickly becomes a loved member of his household. What he doesn’t know is that the cat is actually a shapeshifter with a human side, Katerina, a world-known fashion designer. Katerina is hiding out at Troy until she recovers from a vicious attacked initiated by an unknown supernatural foe. As alluring as life is at Troy’s, and she really likes the man, she does have a human life to get back to. But will Troy like Katerina as a human woman? And that deadly threat is still out there…

Unlike a lot of shifter romances out there, this isn’t fated mates fighting a destined bond, hot sex, alphaness and a focus on babies. This getting to know each other--even if Troy doesn’t know he’s getting to know Katerina some of the time--and chemistry that grows naturally as they spend more time together. It feels like a real romance and the magical steps of falling in love instead of basically starting the story with the completed product as fated mates.

If you like suspense and thrills with your romance, don’t despair. This novel delivers as Katerina tries to discover the identity of her deadly stalker while trying to keep those she cares about safe.

This is the third in a series, while the reader can understand what is going on without reading the others (I did) the storyline of the supernatural threat carries over from the previous books. Plus, a number of characters from the previous novels play large roles in this with continuing developments in their relationships. McCormack has created a magical world of shifters, djinn, and mages that live among us. To fully enjoy, I would recommend reading all the books. I plan to.

I recommend this book highly. Good characters (McCormack nails the attitude of cats that is portrayed perfectly with Cat), a well-developed romance without being cheesy, thrills, adorable animals and adorable kids. Go read. It really is one of the better paranormal romances I’ve read in a long time.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this ARC in return for an honest opinion.

She’s done it! I always said if I was going to be a shifter I’d want to be a spoiled housecat. Author Allie McCormack has written a housecat shifter and I knew I had to read it. This was an entertaining tale of love, magic and danger. Troy is a sweetheart and Katerina is awesome as Cat. The villain was really creepy. I think I would have enjoyed this more if I’d read the previous two books but as it stood I really liked this tale. I’m off to purchase the first two books in the series.

This is truly a delightful read! While parts are intense and full of suspense it is a fun story. I loved the eye rolling feline attitude not to mention the snark about male sanitation. I will have to add this author to my search list.

Book 3 in the series, but first one I've read. Wasn't lost though, as enough information is given to stay caught up. This one has Katerina (Cat) attacked while in her cat body. When her Djinn friend sends Troy, a veterinarian to get her from the shelter, she knows this is the man for her. Sounds a little silly, but the story is actually quite good and kept my interest throughout. Now I want to go back and read the other two books, and hope there are more books to come. Highly recommend this book, series and author.
