"A delightful paranormal romp."

Nicholas Goodman has a life anyone would love to have. He's got it all -- great job, money, beautiful girlfriend, and he was happy...Or so he thought.

Maggie has finally found the man of her dreams. He's sexy and intelligent and absolutely perfect. He even loves her! But there is one slight problem, Maggie is his pet cat!

Maggie is granted a chance -- one week -- to make Nick fall in love with her...as a human. And the fun begins...

From the moment Maggie appears on Nick's doorstep, in human form, as naked as the day she was born, readers know they are in for a rare treat.

By day, a beautiful cat. By night, a beautiful woman. How to make Nick fall in love with a woman he knows nothing about and appeared like magic on his doorstep? Enter Maggie's team: Nick's sister Deena, his best friend Hoop, television talk shows and magazines. Ms. Kenner's wit and delightful humor draw the reader right in from the first page and doesn't let go until the end. She weaves a sparkling tale that leaves the reader begging for more.

This book was this reviewer's first read by Ms. Kenner and it certainly won't be the last. If readers want a rip- roaring roller coaster ride of emotion, this is the book for them. It is full of laugh out loud moments and good times. The reader can't help but fall in love with Nick and Maggie, cheering them on to a 'happy-ever-after.'

Ms. Kenner really gets into the mind of a cat for this book. The reader will love seeing a cat's eye view of the world, complete from television to shopping malls, food to wardrobes. It is obvious that Ms. Kenner is a true cat lover. If readers are cat fans, and even if they aren't, they will enjoy this foray into Maggie's world.

Will Maggie and Nick beat the odds to find their true love? The reader will just have to buy the book and find out.

Did you know that Hoop and Deena (who first appear in The Cat's Fancy) appear in all of the Aphrodite novels?

Summary

Get ready for ...

The Cat's Meow -- Straight-laced Nicholas Goodman's life was going just fine. A hotshot attorney in a huge law firm, Nick had money, success, and a girlfriend whose father just happened to be his biggest client. All the aspects of his life were tucked neatly into nice little corners, just the way Nick liked it. Until he opened his door and found a completely naked, slightly befuddled, green-eyed beauty on his doorstep.

A Woman's Wish -- Maggie had found the man of her dreams-- Nick Goodman. He was smart, sexy, and she knew he loved her. Maggie's only problem was ... well, she wasn't entirely human. But Maggie was determined, and through the power of love she was given a chance--and a lithe woman's body. She had one week to convince Nicholas to admit that he loved her. One week to prove that a guy like Nick could fall for "a girl like Maggie." One week to prove that a cat's fancy could be the love of a lifetime.
