Nikki’s review of Cat’s Eyes by Lynne Connolly
Paranormal erotic romance published by Loose-ID

I’ve been wanting to read Lynne Connolly for a while but things just kept getting in the way. I finally went and bought Cat’s Eyes. It’s a shorter story in the Dept. 57 world.

Blurb:

New city, new job, new life: Silje Nordstrom, a Norwegian cat shape-shifter, is starting over. Except that she’s still working for Department 57, the covert government agency for Talents — just in New York, with a new identity. And she’s still alone, still too sexually inhibited to find the mate she needs. That is, until she meets sexy Brazilian shape-shifters Devante and Aristides.

Sent to a male strip club on an operation to find the dealer for a dangerous new designer drug, Silje is transfixed by two Brazilian strippers. They’re so into each other there doesn’t seem to be room for anyone else. But things aren’t always as they seem.

When booked for a private dance, Devante shows Silje a hot Brazilian samba in the bedroom. And once he’s got her where he wants her, he brings in his lover Ari. Together, the men show Silje exactly what she’s been missing.

But they still have to find the source of the drugs, and the Talent’s enemy, the terrorist organization the PHR is involved. If they don’t close this outlet down, New York will be flooded with a dangerous, addictive drug, designed for Talents, but affecting everyone. If Silje’s not careful, her new beaus could end up on the body count.

Publisher’s Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Ménage, male/male sexual interaction, violence, sex while in partially shifted form.

Read an excerpt.

Well, I’m very happy to have found Ms. Connolly. Her characters are deep, her sex is hot and her story is fun. The bad guys are really bad and the tension is good. The suspense is well done… and this is a short story! I can’t wait to read a full length novel.

This isn’t one of those ménages where the guys make sure they never look funny at each other. These two are a couple before they meet Silje. Silje has been in a conservative social situation for a very long time, so has a lot of catching up to do. But these three have more than just sex and the emotion runs high.

I’m impressed with the depth of this story, especially considering it’s length. For more fun check out her “chat with the heroes“. These are heroes from other books but there are no spoilers on this page.
