The PremiseChloe Novak’s a clumsy cat shifter who hides her looks behind her glasses, lumpy cardigans, and stacks of books. Kenneth Chamberlin is a hottie billionaire cat shifter who offers Chloe a chance to catalog some Sumerian art. Chloe’s grandmother was “fated mates” with Kenneth’s grandmother, but things ended badly and Chloe’s been conditioned to hate anything Chamberlin.  This is part of an ongoing series, and shouldn’t be read on its own.The GoodI like Ms. St. Clair’s humor and the little world she’s built here.  The characters are likeable and the overall plot is enjoyable, however....The BadIf you don’t know the overall plot, there’s not enough in this book to keep you interested.  Chloe and Kenneth go from barely interacting to love very quickly and I never really got into that romance.  I liked seeing characters from earlier books, but I think in this case that it detracted from the romance.  I hope with the next book that the H/h are more of a focus, because a good romance can really anchor the rest of the action.  Here, the action overtook any romance between Chloe and Kenneth.The Bottom LineIf you like humorous paranormal romances that focus more on the onoing plot than on the individual romances, you may enjoy this. But make sure you read the earlier books, at least #2, or you won’t get as much out of this story.
