I rarely get a chance to read the 'perfect' book or novella.  There are just too few of them out there, especially in the independent authors arena...but THIS novella/author is certainly the exception to what is slowly becoming the rule.This is an extremely well written, well-plotted novella that does it all.  This novella kept me from going to sleep last nigh.  I thought it was just something I would skim over since most indie books don't usually need much more than that...but I was engrossed from the very first paragraph.This novella will suck you in with the range of emotions that this author will pull out of you.Max the Cat decides that his Mistress Melody needs some male companionship, so he goes in search.  And he finds a likely candidate at a homeless shelter as the cook.  Melody's husband was shot and killed while on the job and she hasn't quite recovered, nor will she ever likely to. I don't think that  Melody ever thought it would be likely to fall in love again let alone falling in love with someone who has a job that was a 'deal breaker'.Max the Cat is the perfect characters head for us to get inside of.  Max never loses  his cat attitude and he can rationalize like a 'human' - but he never loses himself!  It is a wonderful meshing of human and 'cat'.There is so much packed into 103 pages - a love story, an action adventure, a mystery...you name it and it was in here.  That is not to say that Ms Weir ever skimped on any of these aspects.  She did not.
