Puss without Boots: A Puss in Boots Retelling (Fairy Tale Kingdoms Book 1) by Shari L. Tapscott

Book Description:
Finding your happily ever after is complicated when your matchmaker is a cat...

Etta's happy with her simple life in the mill, but when her aunt passes and leaves her a very peculiar cat, everything goes awry. Now, determined to find her place in the world, Etta's learning to hunt, having audiences with a king, and falling for a man who's keeping something from her.

Beau's happy at sea until his father passes and leaves him with an odd last request. Now he's setting up shop in a small town, searching for ogres, and, inconveniently, falling for the miller's sister—who just happens to be taken with someone else.

It soon becomes clear that if Etta and Beau want to get anywhere, they'll need not only each other's help, but the cat's as well. But putting your trust in a feline is difficult, especially when you're not exactly sure what it is he has planned...

A romantic retelling based on the original beloved fairy tale,Puss in Boots.

   I vaguely remember the story of Puss and Boots from when I was a child; I do remember that I liked it quiet a bit. I wasn't sure how I would like this retelling of the story, but Tapscott is a wonderful writer and I have thoroughly enjoyed her very imaginative novels thus far, so I gave it a go! I am so glad that I did. This was truly a delightful tale!

   A wonderful cast of characters, including the cat, draw you in. I enjoyed the twist to the tale and the friendship and romance that progress through the book. Sweet, enchanting and pure fun!
