Very cute twist on TOTS, and it's funny how much it comes across that Gretchen is marrying her cat in human form.

At first, I greatly disliked Magnus. He was too "bro-ish" for me. However, as the book went on and he fell for Edie I genuinely came to like him and the things he was willing to do for her. And the way that he proves he loves her? Purrrrrfection :)

To be honest, I may have rated this higher, but I’ve read so many of Jessica Clare’s Billionaire Boys books in a row that I’m getting a bit tired of this troupe and need to take a break! However, I really liked the heroine, she was smart, tough and didn’t put up with anybody’s BS. I totally related to her being a cat person as I used to work at an animal shelter. The hero was a bit too alpha for my taste, but he was really sweet in the end and his actions were absolutely amazing in order to win her trust back. I had tears in my eyes. :) I have always enjoyed Gretchen and Hunter from the Billionaire Boys series and wishes they were in the story a little bit more, but overall it was a really fun read. :-)

absolutely loved this one! Edies a fantastic woman who just happens to be a cat lady! Magnus was an ass at first but he grew on me ! Not many men can welcome 9 plus cats into his life! The brother and sister can go get hit by a train though. Gretchen was her usual candid self!

I've enjoyed all the Billionaire books. As someone with a chronic pain condition, I really appreciated how well the author handled that in this book!

I was all this is gonna end badly, this is gonna end badly *biting nails* Men!!!

I liked Edie, she was real. Yes people said she was bitchy, but the girl just had a bit of edge on her. She had a bad knee and limped. She loved cats. I adored her.

But poor woman. Her sister. Sheesh! Overbearing, manipulative little bit##! She still loved her sister, but the way she made Edie dependent on her, not cool.

Which brings us to the men. Magnus was, ok I can forgive the talk in the beginning. I can even forgive him doing what his brother told him, even if he should have told her earlier. Because, omg, he starts to love cats! *melts*

His brother was an idiot who fell for a pretty face. I did want to hit him several times...make that every time I saw him *gives him the evil eye*

Oh and Gretchen is awesome! But yikes the mouth on that woman.

As you can see a great cast. I liked how they started to fall for each other, even if the game at the beginning was pretty unforgivable. But he was a truly nice guy! And I liked that she was not perfect.

And it had cats!

And very smexy dirty talk smexin. Which I do skim since I am weird, but if you like that then you will certainly like this.

These billionaires are fun to read about.

This was okay but tbh I found Edie kind of dull, she seems nice but not particularly interesting (unless you like cat, and I'm a dog person). Magnus seemed fine too, but they didn't really seem to have much going for them other than sex.

I really liked Gretchen again, she's hilarious in the bits we do see of her.

 Shakspeare will groans and rolled on his grave if he is reading this book. Not in a good way. 

And for me, I like it OK. Not 4 stars OK, but 3 stars OK. I like Edie. She is a kick ass and independent character. She does not take shit from other people and she is confident despite her handicap. I wish Magnus character can be more louder. For me Magnus is drowned by Edie's kick ass. He seems hopeless. 

The story is taking an inspiration from 10 Things I hate About You. Even Magnus description is mirroring Heath Ledger. 
I always enjoy Jessica Clare's book.
