Welcome to Cat’s Paw Cove, Florida—an enchanting seaside
town and favorite tourist destination. But there’s something unusual about the
locals, both human and feline. The popular Shipwreck Museum might just take you
back in time, and the historic Sherwood House holds secrets, old and new. Adopt
a furever friend at the Cove Cat Café, treat yourself to a psychic reading at
Eye of Newt metaphysical shop, pick up a special trinket from Black Cat
Antiquities. And don’t be surprised if you find your heart in the magic of
Cat’s Paw Cove.
In a violent storm in 1645, Colin Wilshire’s
Barbados-bound ship is swept off course. He’s sure he and his pregnant bride
are fated to drown when he’s tossed into the sea. He wakes in a strange land
and is saved by a blue-haired angel.
Twenty-first-century witch and cat rescuer Luna Halpern
has fallen for more than her share of unsuitable guys—including one with a
long-distance fiancé, and another who was more interested in other dudes than
in Luna. Finally, a safe, drama-free guy is interested in her, and she’s
confident that she’ll muster up an attraction to him. When she stumbles upon a
handsome, mysterious man who speaks oddly, seems not to know where he is, or
even what century it is, her first instinct is to help him.
Certain he’s either stuck in a crazy dream or in limbo
between life and death, Colin stays close to Luna. As his feelings for her
grow, he’s forced to choose between his obligations in the past and his hopes
for the future.
Fun start to a new series. Luna is a twenty-first-century
witch, baker, and cat rescuer. She also has terrible luck with men. This year,
for Founders Day, she is determined to avoid repeating past mistakes. But when
she stumbles across a man who is a dead ringer for the one who has haunted her
dreams, her good intentions go right out the window.
Colin is very confused. The last thing he remembers is
being on a ship bound for Barbados, along with his pregnant wife. He's looking
to start a new life and get away from the troubles he inherited. A freak storm
washed him overboard, and now he's in a world he doesn't recognize. If not for
the blue-haired angel who comes to his rescue he would be in even deeper
trouble.
I liked both Luna and Colin. Colin is an honorable man
who wants to make a good life for himself and his pregnant wife. Even when
tossed overboard, he attempts to save others before being sucked underwater. He's
understandably confused when he stumbles out of the water into a strange new
world. His reactions are fun to see. Luna is a talented baker and also runs a
cat rescue. She's a bit tired of dealing with the weirdos that come out for
Founders Day, but she'll deal with it. I liked how she thought Colin was just
another of them and wanted to help anyway.
It was fun to watch the relationship develop between
Colin and Luna. There were sparks between them from the start, but Colin was
determined to get back to his own time. I liked seeing the two together as they
were drawn to each other. Colin was surprised by his unexpected jealousy and
wondered what it indicated about his relationship with his wife. As they worked
together to get Colin onto the Ship Museum, the connection between them grew. There
are some surprising twists in store that will affect Colin's plans for the
future.
There is also a bit of suspense as there are rumors that
there is a treasure aboard the museum ship. Colin wants to see if the item he
hid on board is still there. They run into unexpected trouble, and the
confrontation is pretty intense. The identity of the culprit is a surprise. I
liked Colin's decision about the item he found. The epilogue was great, and I
loved the surprise he added to his latest invention.
This was an entertaining read, and I'm looking forward to
reading more of this series.
