"His Purrfect Mate" [Shifters, Inc. Series, Book 3] by Georgette St. Clair

Author's Book Description : Chloe Novak may be the world’s clumsiest cat shifter; in fact, she’s the only panther she’s ever heard of that doesn’t land on its feet. She may hide her looks behind her glasses, lumpy cardigans, and stacks of books. However, she’s got her beautifully creaky old house and her university job, and she’s content...until billionaire panther shifter Kenneth Chamberlin strides through her office door with an offer she literally can’t refuse, if she ever wants to see her grandmother alive again. The problem is, the Chamberlin family are the ones who ruined her family’s life and reputation – and the sinfully handsome Kenneth makes her tingle in all the right places. How can she work with him in close quarters and keep her heart and her sanity intact?

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, one clumsy cat shifter falls right into one fifty-year-old mystery that hits closer to home then she would have expected while loosing her heart to her biggest enemy in the process....

This was the first time I've read a novel from this author and series, however even though it was written as a stand-alone novel so I could understand everything that was going on, I just wished that I liked it better. The plot was good and there were some really cute/funny parts to it. Yet, I would have enjoyed this novel more if the main characters, Chloe and Kenneth, were the major focus instead of the secondary characters. I mean I understand it's a series and that means you read more about previous main characters in the series but there wasn't enough scenes between Chloe and Kenneth to make you really like them as characters, even though it was obvious that they made a good match up. If I read any more from this series I hope those novels will have the plot be more involved with it's main characters instead of the other way around. With that being said though, I did like the secondary characters a lot ... it'll be interesting to see where this series will go next.

I recommend this novel to those who are fans of Ms. St. Clair and this series!

Book Teaser(s) :

“Looking for someone?” Kenneth said from right behind her, making her jump and spill half her drink down the front of her dress. He was wearing a shiny black tuxedo with a perfectly knotted blue silk bowtie, and clinging to his arm was a slender platinum blonde with huge blue eyes. She had a tiny button nose and a mouth shaped like a glossy pink heart. She wore a dress that looked as if it were made of black liquid silk, fitting her as if it had been poured over her slim body, rippling and flowing like a river.
Looking at her clinging to Kenneth gave Chloe an odd, sickly feeling in her stomach which she had never experienced before.
Chloe glanced down at her dress. It was loose in the bust, and tight in the hips , and now there was a stain on the front that was shaped like a chicken, and she was regretting her decision to carry her sweater slung over her arm. She should have handed it in at the coat check.
High society and Chloe didn’t mix.
“I’m looking for my boyfriend,” she said desperately. “We’re practically engaged, actually.” Where the hell was Henry?
“Is that a sweater?” the blonde asked her incredulously, eyes widening.
“What does your boyfriend look like?” Kenneth asked politely, but she could sense the skepticism in his smile. “Let me help you find him.”
“He’s got bleached blond hair, he’s wearing a plaid jacket...”
“That man over there?” He inclined his head at Henry, who was standing in a corner making out with the waiter. The waiter was still holding the tray in his left hand, and people were walking by, grabbing canapés off of it.
Tarts. Riiight. He’d gone to seek out tarts. She mentally added a new item to her to-do list for tomorrow: stab Henry through the heart with a fountain pen.
“No, no...ah...another blond guy in a plaid jacket.” Right. Because the room was crawling with them. ~ within Chapter 3

“I swear, it is unbelievable how many outfits I go through,” Bobbi said, fishing through a bag of spare clothing she’d bought with her.
“It must get expensive,” Pixie observed, as Mayameen weaved around potholes and chunks of asphalt.
“If I were an entrepreneur, I’d design a line of clothing for shifters,” she said. “Clothing that wouldn’t shred to pieces every damned time I shift. I’m tired of flashing my boobs all over town.”
“That could work. Shifters are what, ten percent of the overall population in the U.S.? Forty percent in some areas? You’d have a big customer base. Me, I’m sticking with my amusement park idea. It’ll make millions.”
“No, it won’t, because half of the amusement park patrons will be dead. Live ammunition? Seriously.”
“Dreamkiller,” Pixie muttered. “The cars would all be bulletproof.”
They arrived at the El-Debar’s ten minutes later, still arguing over Pixie’s amusement park idea. ~ within Chapter 8
