I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

The second work I read by this author, and I honestly enjoyed it more. That may have more to do with the fact that I love friends to lovers stories. While I understand the male lead’s hesitation, I feel that it’s less realistic in adults especially since his torture is self-induced. I was also annoyed that the female lead was crushing on him even though she brought a date with her. I find that tasteless and childish.

Ignoring all that, it was a cute quick read with enough heat between the leads to make it feel real and the author is great at writing engaging dialogue.

<i>“And what would you do with Mr. Teal anyway?”

Ghislain’s face softened. “Get him to show me what’s inside him.”</i>

Gulp.

This story left me wanting more. I read through this so quickly and when I reached the end I was shocked that nothing else became of the story.

This was an enjoyable read. The perfect amount of creepiness and some excellent subtle paranormal things going on. I just need more of it! What happened to Barnes, the cow and what what was in that window seat? Why was Ghislain bonkers and living alone in such a large gorgeous house? What happened during the night? Was Cyrus really what he seemed?

So many question, no answers!

Lacy Crocker is back in another fun and fur-filled adventure. The story wastes no time getting right to the business of murder – when Lacy goes to meet her design hero to show off some of her creations, she finds the designer dead on the floor in her home. As much as to protect the dead woman’s Siamese as to see justice done, Lacy jumps right in to find the killer. With a clever heroine, a dash of romance, and cats galore, there’s something in this cozy to please almost everyone.

Enjoy the guest post from author Julie Chase on <a href="https://booksthething.com/2017/04/19/cat-got-your-cash-guest-post-and-giveaway/">my blog</a>.

Definitely enjoyed this the most out of the three. Have to admit, though, I still didn't feel much heat between Kaye and Roiben, but <s>Corny</s> Neil and Luis were adorable!

I kinda figured that <spoiler> when the Queen demanded Kaye used Roiben's name, and she commanded him with a false one, that shoulda won her the quest. Cos, I mean, she couldn't even say the cup of tea was cold when it wasn't, and that's much the same kind of untruth as calling someone by a name that's not theirs. It's like standing in front of an oak tree and declaring it an elm - bet she couldn't do that.</spoiler> But whatever. Loopholes or some shit, I guess.

Tarzan- I love this movie, this is one of my favorite animation films of all time. Its a classic.

The plot: In this Disney animated tale, the orphaned Tarzan (Tony Goldwyn) grows up in the remote African wilderness, raised by the gentle gorilla Kala (Glenn Close). When a British expedition enters the jungle, Tarzan encounters the beautiful Jane (Minnie Driver) and recognizes that, like her, he's human. Falling in love with Jane, Tarzan is torn between embracing civilization and staying with his gorilla family, which becomes threatened by the ruthless hunter Clayton (Brian Blessed).

Its a excellent and fantastic movie made by Disney before the 2000's. When the 2000's hit went on a downhill slop. But ill get to those movies.
