Pawprints by Anne Cain

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Is it possible to love your cat more than a lover? Adrian has not to find an answer cause his pet, a beautiful black and white cat he has taken home from the shelter he is vulenteering happens to be a beautiful young man. But Lal, this is the name of the were cat, has a strange behaviour more like a pet (in a D/S relationship) than a man.

Lal is escaped from another world where he, and his two twin brothers, are being raised to be sexual slave to their owner. But only Kal, the black one, seems to be accept his role, meanwhile Caleb, the white one, is in love with the Master's son (and love is not allowed for pets) and Lal, the black and white one, wants something more for himself too. So now he wanders the earth and finds Adrian, a young student in veterinary who is also gentle and caring, who takes care of him even before knowing he is a shifter and a very good bed companion.

Lal is very istinctual: he likes the physical touch and has no problem to share his body with Adrian, not only for sex but in every moment of his life. He is also iperactive and moody and the quiet Adrian is the right counterpart for him. Adrian is a gentle soul who strangely is still alone: why a man like this is all alone is a thing I can't understand and in fact Lal immediately sets his claim on him.

Anne Cain's style is young and funny. The story is not very long, one hundred pages, but she manages to create not only two interesting main characters, but also a little group of worthy supporting characters (I'm very curious to know if Kal will have his own story).

Elisa, I'm so happy you enjoyed! And thank you so much for the sweet review. ♥♥♥ I dunno if Kal will have his own story yet, though...maybe if he learns to play nice with his brothers.

For now, I'm working on a companion book to Pawprints, and this time the focus will be on man's other best friend. :D

Thanks to you Anne to write it. "Man's other best friend" I suppose is a dog... Well, I'm a "cat" woman (leo born under the tiger ear and cat is my spirit in egyptian culture...) so I will read it, by my preference goes to Lal!!! Elisa
