review 1: This is an amusing novella told through different points of view. We first meet the cat who is on his third owner and literally on his way to being thrown out the door. I loved the parts of the story told through the cat’s eyes. I didn’t have any trouble suspending my disbelief and accepting everything he professed. I was happy when he followed the drunk guy home and decided to adopt Emerson as his human. The cat also decides he would like his name to be Sam.Poor Emerson was plagued with insecurities and having Sam close by his side gave him confidence. I do wish we had been given more insight into Emerson’s past for a more thorough understanding of where his self-doubts came from, otherwise he was well developed and a very likable character. With Lola Brown we are g... moreiven more history into why she has built walls around her heart and is more leery of men than she used to be. Her concerns were real and understandable. I found their dialogue realistic, entertaining, and captivating. Emerson has the heart of a romantic and I found him endearing. It was fun watching their relationship grow.Then a twist in the plot throws a huge wrench in the happy story and everything falls apart. I worry if I will get my HEA (Happily Ever After) when I become invested in all the characters and plot. I am always worried that one day an Indie author will break the mold. It seems reasonable to me to believe it will be a traditional published author turned Indie will be the culprit. For a charming light-hearted romp that will leave you emotionally satisfied, give this book a try.FYI: This is the second book in the Cool Cat series but it is not necessary to have read the first book to enjoy the second.Format/Typo Issues: I found no editing or formatting issues with this book.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog.

review 2: An enjoyable fluff of a book. Lengthwise, probably closer to a novella. Genre, maybe romance though it’s definitely not your typical one as the narrator alternates between the hero and a cat, never the heroine and the relationship between the boy and the cat is intertwined with the relationship with the boy and the girl. The cat as narrator may be why I liked, but didn’t love the book. I’m not a huge fan of non-reality. A cat who can narrate a book and control the thoughts of its owner definitely falls into that category. That being said, it’s quite a charming story. The story begins with our cat, George who becomes known as Sam, being ditched by his owner. Our hero, a young man named Emerson, stumbles upon him while drunk and brings him own. That cat soon realizes he may have found an owner with whom he could live. He joins Emerson at work and helps Emerson steel the courage to talk to a girl, Lola. Emerson has admired Lola for over a year, but he’s so tongue-tied around women to whom he’s attracted that she thinks he hates her. Somehow Sam gives him the courage and words to finally speak to Lola. As the book proceeds, Lola must confront the conflict between her attraction to Emerson and his aberrant behavior. Emerson must learn how to talk to women without the assistance of a cat. A bit crazy but it all works. I just wish the novel wasn’t so short. It felt truncated at times. I enjoy Theresa Weir’s writing style. It’s conversational, but not lazy. An enjoyable read. Not quite sure how to rate it though . 3.75 on romance scale, so I’ll round up to 4 less
