Cat of a Different Color

Emma Carter, co-owner of Wallflowers, has been in love with Max Cannon since grade school and is pretty sure he’ll never be interested in her wholesome good looks. Boy, was she wrong. Max overhears her voice while at his friend Simon’s and is can’t believe that the sexy voice making joking innuendos with his Beta and ordering him around is shy Emma Carter. Determined to discover if Emma lives up to her voice, Max gets Simon to bring him along when he drops off his new masterpiece at Wallflowers.

After getting fed up with his ex Livia chasing him all around town, Emma is a breath of fresh air with a delightful sense of humor and oh, yeah, there is just one little thing… she’s also his Mate. Max is the Alpha Were-Puma of the local Pride. He breaks it to her quite soon and she takes it with surprising aplomb before he takes her home and promptly divests her of her virginity. Add in best friends who love each other, but won’t admit it, ex’s who won’t give up, and a masquerade where Emma must prove her power as the Curana before the Pride or forever be looked down upon and you have delightful romp of a romance that is just plain fun to read.

I really enjoyed this tale by Dana Marie Bell, the characters were interesting and well written for a shorter story and the explanation of the Were-Pumas was short and sweet which I great appreciated because it let the culture have an active part in the romance without making it the milestone to be crossed as it is portrayed in so many paranormal stories. I also greatly enjoyed the detail applied to aspects of the characters personalities (like the photos on the mantle), that say much of a person without having to spell it out for the reader and the humor which left me snorting in my seat (kitty litter? Priceless).
