I’ll be honest. The most I ever knew about Puss n' Boots was the cute Antonio Banderas portrayal in the Shrek movies, so I looked it up and got the gist of the fairytale. This was quite the charming m/m reimagining.

Sweet, down on his luck Willem finds that he’s inherited the family cat from his late father and is quite baffled and a bit miffed that he didn’t get more. Not that much gets him down with his ever optimism and kind heart, but he’s taken aback when said cat starts talking to him and promises to help set some of the things in his life right.

Kasha is not a only a cat but forever serving penance to help those he’s bound to. Sometimes he hates them, most of the time he’s ambivalent. Funny how after all these years he might just actually have strong feelings for his new charge.

Overall a simple story about love and redemption. It doesn’t hurt at all that this was sexy, had a good dose of action, and had a satisfying ending! Again, a very nice retelling of a classic tale. ( )

Fun story. An interesting mix of an old fairy tale and Japanese mythology. ( )

The story is cute and cuddly, just like The Puss :)
Unexpected twists and turns kept me reading through the night and into the wee hours. Nice and easy, sticking to the original story in all the important places, but with several surprises of its own, a dash of yaoi - a few very sexy scenes - and the books is a 5 star read :) ( )

Lovely fairy tale romance. ( )
