The Minx of Mayfair

Cat aspect aside, the book is quite good. The romance between the main characters was very well developed and written and the 'intrigue' side added the right touch of danger.

Fate turns Georgiana from a cat into a beautiful woman so that Georgiana can find her deceased master's killer. She ends up married to the Viscount Seybourne and in love with her husband. In between murderers, jealous women, dealing with her 'new body' and momentary catnip insanity, Georgiana's life has suddenly become very hectic and difficult.

Let me sum this up: our heroine is a cat. No, really. For her ninth life, "Fate" makes the black cat Georgina a woman (this phenomenon is explained in ONE sentence blaming "Fate" and we have to accept this without any more plausable explanation). She is found unconscious by the dead body of her previous master by Lord Seybourne (a pardoned murderer who is secretly innocent because his evil twin did it), who decides to marry the beautiful unknown brunette (yes, on the cover of the book she is very blond, but in the book she has black hair). There are several funny parts as Georgina learns how to be a woman and not a cat, but that cannot make up for the rest of this book. Seybourne marries the lady on the next day (no one questions this), his former mistress comes to the wedding (no one questions this), Seybourne single-handedly must solve the murder (no one questions this), and off they go to a houseparty for the exiled queen (no one questions this). Sum the book up with a fantastic abduction plot and assistance of wild cats and you can wrap the whole mess up.

I thought this book deserved 2 stars simply because the writing style is so smooth. However, the plot and characters and whole premise of the book is so ridiculous, I'm wondering how this got past the editor's shredding machine. Take my word on this and leave this book on the shelf--don't waste your time.
