4 Cranky Stars!
I shall never look at cats the same way EVER again!
Like all stories I’ve fallen in love with, I devoured Cat Love within hours of opening it. Honestly speaking, I have never read anything from Mrs. Sunniva Dee, even though I had seen covers of her other books on Amazon. Somehow I never felt a strong urge to pick up her titles.
Then Cat Love landed at my doorstep and purred its way straight into my heart!
It spent a delicious time visiting my loins on its way up, I have to confess. I wouldn’t say it’s hot but man! It’s such a TEASE! Definitely left me hot and bothered throughout the book!
I’m a dog person and like any dog-lover, I think cats are such vicious, selfish prima donnas. Just imagining the way a cat would look at you makes a mere human feel so insecure for being…human, not like an elegant cat. But this book…WOW! A whole new kettle of fish for me into the cat psyche!
Anyway, enough about cats. Mina would be offended.
The mystery in the story was refreshing. It’s the usual cat-and-mouse-chase but with a twist (dang it! Done it again with the cat-comments!) I really enjoyed the relationship between Ulani and Adrian. I found myself giggling and even laughing out loud at some of their antics. The mystery side of the story wasn’t your heavy-hurt-your-brain-thinking-of-the-plot type and in some ways I would have liked a bit more element of danger thrown in at some points. But still, that didn’t detract my pleasure of reading the story in general. Quite opposite, so that in fact since I spent most of my time purring along with Mina as we watched the sparks ignite and fly between our sexy couple.
Actually, I might just need to go back to those parts to (AHEM) make sure I didn’t miss a word or two.

Give me a minute--Aidan. Swoon.
Okay, I'm ready now. So have I mentioned Aidan yet? Aidan has a superpower. He can soothe the emotions of others, and he uses his power for good at a mental hospital. Isn't he such a nice guy? I don't know how Sunniva Dee does it. She can do bad boys that make your heart ache for them, and now she's gone and done a good boy that is just as swoonworthy as her bad boys.
What I love about this book--well, besides Aidan--is Dee's cat references. Good. Lord. They will have you snorting. And purrrring. And hissing. It's like Ms. Dee studied cats for months on end, then personified them perfectly in Ulani. Genius!
While Dee has a soft spot for NA angst, she can clearly write a hit without it. This book is fun, sassy, mysterious, and action-packed. It's sexy, hot, steamy, sweet, and touching. Seriously, this book has it ALL!
Meow.

Not your everyday paranormal! Sunniva Dee's amazing cover sits at the top of my list; it's the absolute perfect fit for this story. Ulani is my favorite character in this romantic thriller. She's feisty and uses her dynamite sex appeal to drive Aidan batty! LOVE!! The banter, oh man the angst between these two characters, well, Sunniva really upped the bar with Cat Love.

What happens when a feisty kitten-girl meets a super-healer hottie? Perrrfection!
"I've hopped into the unknown, an unknown that's sweet, delicious, blissful..." That precisely sums up Cat Love!
Sunniva Dee pays homage to her writing roots with this one. Sexy New Adult meets Urban Fantasy. A fiery girl who shifts into a cat. An irresistible man who holds the power to not only feel the emotions of those around him, but also calm them with his presence. A suspenseful mystery woven throughout the pages. And a passionate chemistry hauling the reader along until the very end. And seriously, I mean the very end. There was so much sexual tension between Aidan and Ulani, I think my Kindle sparked a few times! But when they finally give into temptation...DAMN! So worth the wait!

I read the first part of this story earlier in the year, as part of the Beneath the Cape—The Superhero Anthology (which you should totally go buy because proceeds benefit the Wounded Warrior Project!) and I could not wait to get my hands on the completed book, to get the rest of the story! And Sunniva Dee did not disappoint.
Aidan feels such a responsibility to all the patients at Hollyreed, he takes it upon himself to try to figure out why some of them have gone missing. Ulani shows up on the ward and soon he has a sidekick he wasn't quite expecting. I was so intrigued by Cat Love- the setting, the plot, the characters, it's all so interesting and captivating. Patients missing from a mental ward, a sexy little minx who shifts into a cat, a caring compassionate, swoony, empathic...all come together to make for one book you don't want to put down!
Not only is this a unique paranormal thriller, it's a sweet love story as well. Ulani and Aidan have such a fun, quirky, sexy relationship, I enjoyed every minute with them.
*I was lucky enough to receive an arc, buy there was no way I wasn't going to be buying this one anyway- I needed to know how it was going to end!

Uhhhhhhhm, ehhhhhhhh, wooooooah, meeeeeow, oooookay! Yeah, uh, no! What can I say other than the pretty cover grabbed my ass:/,
Anyway, this must be one of the most absolute far-fetched books I've ever read. I'm a sucker for para books; I eat em with a spoon and beg for more, but this shit is just .... No words can fully articulate the absurdity.
Plot... I'm waiting?!?
Meet Aidan, a med school drop out working at a mental hospital as some kind of "special tech." He can sense other people's emotions and alter them, which is his job at the hospital. Ummmhum, k;)
Why no one that works there thinks this is weird or how it's okay he has this ability is never addressed.
Enter the cat girl, Ulani. She can't control her shifts from human to house cat & gets caught naked mid-trans and sent to the loony farm where Aidan works. She's wild and busting up the orderlies.
Aidan's freaky deaky powers don't work so well on her.
She disappears, or so they think. Aidan finds a cat in her room hours later. Cue her spontaneously shifting and him learning she's a mfing cat.
"Evil doctor" likes to over-medicate patients.
Weird convo about chasing rats takes up a chapter.
Dissertation on some art work shit takes up another chapter.
She brings cat fight to a whole new level with her immediate possessiveness over Aidan.
She shifts again. They're caught by "the evil doctor," and off he brings a Mina (Ulani's cat name) to his home, where he teaches her meditation.
I'm waiting for a plot beyond she's a cat and he's some kinda mood paramedic .
Basically, I'm bored, rolling my eyes, and wishing...
Para Is Great But Only If Logical
Again, I love para, but it has to be logical and believable on some rational level. I don't believe a word of this story!
Mental institutions dont just say "oops, hope we find our lost mental patient(s)." They'd have to start a search & alert the authorities. More importantly, they'd have to alert state health officials, and those officials would SHUT THE FUCKING PLACE DOWN WITH THIS MANY PATIENTS JUST UP AND VANISHING INTO THIN AIR!
Mental health patients aren't allowed to walk around in " a rectangle of black lace" that barely covers their cleavage.
She's twenty one and can't control her shifts? How has she never been caught before? She is super freaky powerful, like taking out former wrestlers turned orderlies, but yet wasn't tough enough to avoid/evade/fight whomever brought her to the looney bin? See...
Yep, that's the theme~
Yuck-O Meter Redlined
Aidan gets her a litter box. That's right... I said he got his female MC a mfing box to shit in. Now, that's just a nasty thought! How am I supposed to get into the romance here when she's pooping in a fucking litter box that he is cleaning?!?
Aidan is Sexy?!? Huh? Say what?
Sorry but the reviewer saying he is sexy can't be for real?!?
" Go beddy-bye."
"Geez Louise."
"I need to scoot away before my privates flaunt their fierce approval"
"I can only imagine what she could do if she controlled her abilities the way I do with my measlier ones."
" I ask, brave, the way we men are supposed to be. It's not a smart move with Ulani. I'm leaving myself open for jabs. I jump because I never heard her move."
"Note to self: organize cup shelves when she's not around."
Need a visual?
Grammar Is Pissy
" An part-feline whimper.."
"Advised him to not speak with the new widow in the neighborhood unless Grams received her first."- not only is this not even a complete sentence, it's unintelligible.
DNF
I had to call it quits @20%. I just need to say that I want to yank this absolutely beautiful cover off this book!

Cat Love!
I loved the very beginning - finally a book where, from the first page, you are like "Yeah! Alright! Action!" and I actually immediately wanted to know more, instead of that tedious forcing yourself through the first few chapters so the author has a chance to get to the point after developing the characters or scenery or whatever. It was like BAM! hot guy slamming through the doors, and what, we are at an asylum? I was pumped right away, so thank you, Dee, because I appreciate that!
I also liked the adventury feeling I got from this book. It seems different from Dee's other books, in that it is more fairytale (that's right, more so than Shattering Halos and Stargazer, too!) and less of the agony of unreturned romance, but still with all the excitement of the thick sexual tension between two hotties in close quarters.
I was very impressed by the cat-like descriptions and movements of Ulani ... it seems almost as if the writer is a cat herself, or at leasts knows cats very well. It really added to the picture in my mind of Ulani, she really is very cat-like to me, and I guess that is pretty important for a book like this, and I think the author nailed it.
Stuff that happens:
-AIDAN is the main guy, he is hot, nice and works a lot at the institution. But guess what:
"I do have cravings work can't satisfy" ...
-Enter the superbabe, Ulani. But our smart hot guy is thinking "Why is she even at this institution?" and soon, he is knee-deep in mystery and rescuing. And cats. And superbabes. Little do they both know, there is some disastrous stuff going on behind closed doors at the mental hospital, and the dynamic duo sets out to end the atrocities and fix the core problem.
-Feel the drama as Aidan deals with having a cat for a roommate: "'Ah, great. Are we doing this?' She meows again then waits for me to give up. An hour later, I finally do."
-See Ulani become house trained, against all odds: "Ulani has [the table] decked out with candles, chicken napkins, and some ornamental looking forks and knives she's bought off the internet."
-Marvel at the insight to cats' personalities reflected in like everything Ulani and Mina do: "She looks proud, even fuller of herself than a regular cat."
My fave parts were the vivid images I got of the mystery parts, I actually got the creeps when they were exploring dark corners and almost winced at Aidan's emotional pain when he feels the distress of...others.(No spoilers!) The awesome cattyness of the catty person(s) and/or cat(s). And I liked that this book isnt cheap sex right off the bat, there is actual development in relationships and an intriguing need and longing before it gets down and dirty. Basically I was impressed with the mystery element of this book, and it still has the funny feel and the romantic elements I was looking for in a book right now. I definitely recommend this book, even if you are not a "cat person" ;-)

I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
For Mature Readers: 18+
I previously reviewed a shorter version of this book as part of the Behind the Cape anthology.
I thoroughly enjoyed Sunniva Dee’s "Cat Love". This paranormal thriller is really a great love story. It is well-written with great characters.
In my previous review I assumed Aidan Keir had a secret that went beyond his special abilities. Boy I was off! His only secret was his inner character. Throughout the story Aidan is self-sacrificing in order for a very unique woman to reach her full potential. New book boyfriend!
Aidan’s obsession with self-control threw me. I figured he had to have something dangerous lurking beneath waiting to come to the surface. Well, if his type of love is dangerous, then, every woman should have a man with that kind of peril. Aidan was a man who was willing to put his needs on a back burner and concentrate on the needs of the woman he loved. Priceless!
Ulani, the special lady who landed in his life, had a major issue with self-control. She knew she could manipulate others through her sexuality. The love and concern of a good man, however, helped her learn restraint. Ulani’s stability enabled her to embrace her strength as an intelligent woman with hopes and dreams.
Aidan and Ulani had the perfect symbiotic relationship. His unrelenting faith in her allowed him to grow as a person. He’d spent his adult years never settling down with any one person for long. Aidan had female friends, but he had yet to discover love. Supporting Ulani through her struggle cultivated a special friendship which morphed into something stronger, greater. Ulani never placed any conditions on Aidan. She had always wanted to be in control of her other half, but she didn’t work to develop it until Aidan. Her desire to conquer her weakness was driven by her love for him.
Furthermore, the two of them had a selfless love for others which was truly beautiful. In this intriguing story, they were willing to risk themselves to help others. Aidan and Ulani never questioned whether they should assist people. They only wondered how and when.
The story had me racing through the pages. I was holding my breath waiting for something terrible to happen. But, in this tale, the villains stay villains and justice is served.
"Cat Love" offers readers a wonderful message. When you take yourself out of the equation and focus on someone else, you’ll find true love. Thanks again Sunniva Dee for an awesome story!

Holy Good Lord! Sunniva Dee pulled out all of the stops when she wrote Cat Love. There is so much to love and so many feels within the pages of this outstanding and utterly amazing story. I was a little leery going into this book because a paranormal book on shape-shifter type characters really isn’t my thing, but gosh….Ms. Dee changed the way I feel and I liked it – a lot!
So what makes this book a must read in my opinion? Well, to begin with, you have sexy Aidan who has this nifty ability to sense people’s emotions, and then project more positive feelings into them. This works really well as he works at Hollyreed, a mental institution, and he is able to calm down even the most unstable patients. He really loves his job as it gives him a sense of purpose. One day, a very unique patient, Ulani, gets admitted and she is an unusual case as she was brought in without a stitch of clothing and is somewhat shall we say….wild. Hearing about this new patient really piques Aidan’s interest and when he goes into her room to talk to her and ‘feel’ her out, well….she’s not there. In her place is the most adorable cat – with a major attitude. As it turns out, Ulani shifts into a cat, Mina, at the most inopportune times (as was the case when she was admitted to the hospital). Mina you see (being a cat and all) was chasing a rat on a roof and ended up climbing down a drain spout. Mina really wanted that rat, except as she was on the drain spout, she changed back into Ulani and fell onto the ground – in front of people – buck naked. You see, Ulani has a bit of trouble controlling her ability so she never knows when Mina wants to come out and play. And this my dear reader makes for a really fun read.
But wait….there’s even more!
Not only do we get a run read, but there is something strange going on at the institution. You see, patients come up missing and this is quite unusual as the hospital is very careful in keeping the residents secure – you just can’t have mentally unstable people just leaving at random to roam the streets, you know. Anyway, it just so happens that one day when Ulani changes into cat form, this was the perfect opportunity for Aidan to take her home and help her refine her skills. What’s one more missing patient, right? In the meantime they discover where the missing patients are ending up, and this folks is where the story gets really exciting and thrilling!
With a creepy doctor, spooky abandoned mental hospital buildings, sensual romance, mystery and fun shenanigans, Cat Love has it all and literally had me turning every page at a frantic pace wanting to know how this story would play out.
I really loved the relationship and chemistry between Aidan and Ulani. Although Ulani is sensual and a bit wild and Aidan has the patience of a saint, they mesh well together and really made the story come alive.
Needless to say, I really enjoyed Cat Love! Ms. Dee totally outdid herself with this book and out of all of her novels, this one is my favorite by far! With well-developed characters and writing that flowed effortlessly, Cat Love is a uniquely refreshing read that will appeal to a wide range of readers and one that I highly recommend.

My Review (ARC provided)
5 stars!
This book was amazing! It wasn't anything like something I've read before, so different. Sunniva always captures me with her novels and makes them unique and interesting. I had the privilege of reading the first part of this story in the anthology Beneath The Cape (which I highly recommend). It left me so curious where she would take the rest of the story. And let me tell you she didn't disappoint. There is suspense, romance, and a cat women! Sunniva knows cats too because she explains them perfectly. I really pictured a cat women while I was reading this and I think that was so important for this story, her detail to the cat/human was exactly how I would have thought it to be.
Aidan (H) has a talent for calming people or somewhat the power of mind control that he uses to help out mental patients at the hospital he works at. Ulani (h) happens to be a patient who also happens to have a super power. Circumstances bring them together and Aidan doesn't want to see Ulani get hurt, so he takes her home. Aidan becomes attached to Ulani and soon they are working together to figure out the mystery behind the patients that keep going missing.
Oh my god the sexual tension in this book, I felt it and was like please let something happen...but if you're familiar with Sunniva's writing she likes to take you to the very end. She has a knack for torturing us readers. ;)
And I love that about her, not only the sexual tension but the suspense of the book too. I kept waiting, heart pounding to see how it would all turn out. I'm not going to write any spoilers because that takes the fun away from the book. I love the bits of humor she sprinkles throughout the book.
"You have a very sweet girlfriend, little Aidan. And I see no reason, in this day and age to limit yourself to your own species if you're otherwise inclined. As long as it's consensual. I mean, if your cat is human most of the time, and you only...Cats really are beautiful."
Ulani is such a complex interesting character she is sweet but catty (hehe) too, she is confused about her power and wants to learn how to control it and use it for good. Aidan and Ulani were a captivating pair. Aidan struggles with his want for her but he wants her in control, so he tries using his powers to help.
I absolutely loved their dynamic and Aidan was the best guy ever, he was totally patient and understanding when Ulani got out of control. I think that he liked the catitude and feistiness about her.
"I can save people's lives-be a superhero, cartoon style. All I need is to learn how to shift on command."
So once again Sunniva has provided an extremely unique and original story. This is one you should definitely read.
My Review (ARC provided)
5 stars!
This book was amazing! It wasn't anything like something I've read before, so different. Sunniva always captures me with her novels and makes them unique and interesting. I had the privilege of reading the first part of this story in the anthology Beneath The Cape (which I highly recommend). It left me so curious where she would take the rest of the story. And let me tell you she didn't disappoint. There is suspense, romance, and a cat women! Sunniva knows cats too because she explains them perfectly. I really pictured a cat women while I was reading this and I think that was so important for this story, her detail to the cat/human was exactly how I would have thought it to be.
Aidan (H) has a talent for calming people or somewhat the power of mind control that he uses to help out mental patients at the hospital he works at. Ulani (h) happens to be a patient who also happens to have a super power. Circumstances bring them together and Aidan doesn't want to see Ulani get hurt, so he takes her home. Aidan becomes attached to Ulani and soon they are working together to figure out the mystery behind the patients that keep going missing.

I read Cat Love by Sunniva Dee in the Beneath the Cape anthology, 4.5 stars because I want the rest of the story now! I love Aidan and Ulani was a strong and sassy woman I want to see grow into her power. The writing style was perfectly paced and had depth and detail that pull the reader in. The storyline is unique with a touch of mystery and steam that will appeal to readers of all genres. I can't wait for October and the conclusion of this fantastic story!
It is October now and I just finished this wonderful story, thank you Sunniva Dee! I loved Aidan and Ulani. They were both real, mature, and very likeable. The suspense in the story was perfectly paced and I was very grateful there were no ridiculous wrenches thrown into the plot just for the sake of drama. It was so satisfying as a reader to go down the journey of control with Ulani and Mina, Aidan too. There relationship and love wasn't rushed and that made it so much more special and let me feel connected. If I was impressed when I read the first part if this story you can say I was blown away by Sunniva Dee with how she unravelled the fabulous conclusion!

OMG! I read the first part in the Beneath The Cape Anthology. I am so glad that she wrote the full book.
Ulani and Aiden's relationship is anything but normal. Aiden works in a mental institution. Ulani becomes a patient. Not because she has a mental issue, but because she has a secret. Aiden discovers her secret while trying to keep the evil Dr that likes to medicate patients away from her. Ulani is a cat shape shifter who's name is Mina when she is a cat. She shifts to a cat before the Dr comes into the room, the Dr thinks it is Aiden's cat and makes him take her home. Meanwhile, there are patients that have come up missing and they think that they have escaped. Ulani and Aiden think differently.
I adored this book! Aiden is such a good man. And Ulani cracked me up with some of her hijinks! There is no cliffhanger for those of you that hate them. I would highly recommend this book. There is romance, mystery, and so much more!

I was able to get a taste of this book in the Beneath the Cape—The Superhero Anthology
After the tease in that, I needed to finish the story! This is so Very different than any other paranormal out there.. As always, Sunniva doesn't disappoint! Not only does she keep you intrigued with the mystery/thriller aspect of the plot, but the humor thrown in keeps you turning the pages as well! I'm not a shape-shifter reader, but Ms. Dee does an amazing job and held onto me until the end.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Review:
Sunniva is on my "Read Everything She Writes" list (Thanks to Cheryl McIntyre of course) and this book delivered on exactly what it promised.
Let me start by saying this book was a whole lot of new territory for me. I've never read paranormal romance, I've never read a shifter book of any kind and I rarely read romantic suspense. But since Sunniva wrote it, I was reading it.
So, needless to say, there was a bit of an adjustment period for me at the beginning of this book, getting used to the fact that the female lead character turns into a house cat and the male lead character has the ability to read and alter the emotions of other people. That's what make Sunniva's writing so good, just a few chapters in and I was completely comfortable with the fact that Ulani turns into a cat and Aidan can invade peoples' emotional states. A few more chapters and I totally bought into the idea that these traits were "super powers" of sorts. Another chapter or two and I was totally loving Aidan's interactions with both Ulani and Mina (the cat alter ego).
If there was one thing I struggled with in this book, it was the suspense plot line that runs throughout. I'm pretty certain suspense just isn't my thing. I often second guess the viability of some of the suspense elements I read and this book was no different. I'm sure lots of readers crave a good mystery. I however, tend to lean toward the idea that the mystery is getting in the way of my romance time. LOL ㋡ I guess there was a reason I named my blog Obsessed with Romance.
As always, Sunniva delivers the heat, the sexual tension and the perfect amount of romance. This book has a uniquely intelligent slow-build, which I both loved and hated. (which BTW, I think was exactly what Sunniva intended) I absolutely believed that I was reading about a couple falling in love, not insta-love but the honest to goodness building of a relationship. The best part of this "paranormal" romance was the fact that it was truly a romance in every sense of the word.

I did receive Cat Love as a Free ARC book, in exchange for an honest review.
I previously read a shorter version of this book as part of the "Behind the Cape" anthology.
Cat Love is about Aidan, who works at a mental health patient clinic. Aidan can sense people's feelings and also push onto them feelings as well. With this remarkable gift he works in a mental institution to help others.
Ulani who is admitted as a mental health patient when they first meet. Ulani, does turn into a cat named Mina. I did feel that once Ulani transformed into her cat form, and took a different name of Mina that was a bit confusing at times.
With a rise of patients disappearing, he is surprised to find a cat in Ulani's room. With lots going on he ends up taking Mina the cat home. Now living with Ulani/Mina, who changes have no reason, makes things interesting. Aidan wants to help her control her shifts. Aidan helps her to gain control back. He teaches her how to calm herself, how to do breathing techniques on how to relax and calm herself. With a small idea and investigating they find the missing patients. Things are not looking good and it has to be resolved to catch everyone involved.
Aidan is aware of some patients that do go missing from the mental health hospital, but, how?
Ulani and Aidan do seek out the missing patients.
Aidan and Ulani had the perfect symbiotic relationship. His unrelenting faith in her allowed him to grow as a person. He’d spent his adult years never settling down with any one person for long. Aidan had female friends, but he had yet to discover love. Supporting Ulani through her struggle cultivated a special friendship which morphed into something stronger, greater. Ulani never placed any conditions on Aidan. She had always wanted to be in control of her other half, but she didn’t work to develop it until Aidan. Her desire to conquer her weakness was driven by her love for him.
The chemistry between Aidan and Ulani is so hot but he is ever the gentleman.

I love forging for the different because I know it is out there even in romance. This fits it to the tee with a twist of paranormal and a dash of suspense. When I first started this novel I really did not know what to expect having only read one other of her novels and liked her style. Aidan is special and uses his powers for good of others in a mental hospital described like from a Vincent Price movie modern day. You also have on staff- a good doctor and a bad creepy doctor. He can soothe others so when they have new one-feisty patient that seems to fight like a cat- feral that is, he is also captivated and intrigued. Ulani is even resisting him to a point but he does not want the one Doc to stick it to her. When I get to the part of her being missing he searches and senses her but stumbles upon something else entirely. When it is given where and what I sit up excited because this has got me totally captivated because I have not encountered any story line quite like this feeling like clapping my hands. Strange things are also occurring like disappearing patients that just did not walk away. Oh buddy I am in book heaven and did not want to come down until I experienced it all. Ulani whom is also Mina when in cat form will be a perfect partner plus he will be a great teacher while they also go after the answers of the missing. Between the great building of a passionate relationship and the layers that will be peeled away of the mysterious disappearances you will be given one of the best reads in a long time. Sometimes it will be painful edge of your seat when they are amid the answers in the doom and gloom atmosphere they find them. In particular though you will savoir it all and what finally becomes of Aidan and Ulani.

**An ARC was provided in exchange for an honest review**
Cat Love is by far the most ingenious paranormal romance that I've ever come across. A feline vixen and a sensitive, empathetic hunk make for one entertaining read. Toss in a ton of sexual tension and it turns into a nail-biting-will they or won't they-suck you in kind of tale. Wow. I loved it!
Aidan uses his superpowers to keep his patients calm and collected at Hollyreed Specialist Hospital. He's considered a modern day superhero by his fellow co-workers. Until,one day when he checks in on a new patient and the only thing left breathing in the room is of the feline persuasion. When he coaxes the skittish cat out from underneath the bed and its needle-sharp claws latch on to his shirt, Aidan decides to keep her at his place until he can find her a good home. Unfortunately, nothing is quite that simple...
Ulani has yet to be able to control her transformations. So when she changes from cat to human in a blink of an eye in Aidan's arms, that's when all hell breaks loose. She's gone in a heartbeat, leaving poor Mr. Anderson shaking his head. Aidan soon finds her hiding behind the curtain in the breakroom and has to call upon his professionalism to get him through. When Ulani pleads with him to be quiet, it's too little too late. Dr. Evil is approaching and the hunt has just begun...
Bravo Sunniva! You've done it again.

I loved this story! I was so excited to see how this all ended when I read the first part in a boxset the other month. Aidan is a unique individual thanks to his dad forgetting about him while working in a research facility. Aidan can now sense people's feelings and also push onto them feelings as well. With this remarkable gift he works in a mental institution to help others. When Ulani is brought in everything changes. With a rise of patients disappearing, he is surprised to find a cat in Ulani's room. With lots going on he ends up taking Mina the cat home. Now living with Ulani/Mina, who changes have no reason, makes things interesting. Aidan wants to help her control her shifts. With a small idea and investigating they find the missing patients. Things are not looking good and it has to be resolved to catch everyone involved.
I enjoyed reading Ulani's character grow and embrace all of herself. To see her still in there while Mina is a big improvement. The chemistry between Aidan and Ulani is so hot but he is ever the gentleman. The writing was spot on, I felt every word and felt a part of the story. I loved all the little things that happened. It kept me intrigued to see not only to see how they would save everyone but also to see the change in themselves. Amazing story. Sunniva is an incredible writer who nailed it with this story. An absolute must read!

>Book Review – Cat Love -
>I am an independent reviewer. This is a standalone novel with an HEA.
>Aiden and Ulani are a unique couple. Aiden has the power of an empath who is also able to soothe others at will. Ulani is a woman struggling to control her cat side. I suppose Aiden's powers cause him to not be too shocked when he catches Ulani shifting back from her cat-self, Mina. Aiden teaches Ulani how to control her shifts and how to still be aware, as Ulani, while in Mina cat mode.
>There is a whole suspense plot involving missing patients, an evil doctor and a race against time. That plot was pretty straightforward. The interesting part of the plot was watching Aiden and Ulani use their gifts to help the victims. There is a lot of sexual tension. Aiden doesn't want to take advantage of Ulani as he trains her in how to control her urges. The only reason this book didn't get 5 stars was due to Ulani. There wasn't a backstory explaining where she came from. She also gained a lot of self control, but kept attacking Aiden whenever she felt jealous or angry. Aiden thought this was cute behavior and I found that response hard to believe.
>This book, while not sexually explicit, is recommended for an adult audience.
>I am giving this book 4 stars.

Cat Love is a unique paranormal romance. Aidan, the sole narrator can read and influence other people's emotions. He uses his super power to help the patients at Hollyreed Specialist Hospital. There, he meets Ulani - a drop dead gorgeous woman who has an unusual problem. She can't control her shifts into a cat.
Aidan is a master at controlling himself and he takes Ulani under his wing. He encourages her, compliments her efforts and successes as she learns to control her powers, and teases her about being a cat while he expresses his awe of her.
Ulani is wild, seductive, and retains a certain amount of feline qualities even while she's human. She's my all time favorite female character and she is invaluable in their search for the missing patients. The lack of her point of view works well with the story and adds a sense of mystery to her.
Their relationship develops with plenty of sexual tension. Aidan and Ulani take it slow, building up with kisses and touches, creating anticipation and excitement in those scenes. I was never sure how far they would go.
A must read for those who love paranormal romance!

Where do I start!!!
Sunniva has taken us on a crazy paranormal rollercoaster !! The young, handsome Aidan is our resident mind reader. He is on call at the local psychiatric hospital to assist the staff in the best way he knows how! He attempts to assist the patients by figuring out what they are thinking. Ulani is a woman that is full of surprises. She is a shifter but unable to control her transformation. She looses control one evening while in her feline state and ends up smack dab in the hospital. Aidan is called upon to assist with this troublesome young women but much to his surprise he is unable to read her thoughts her grasp a hold of her feelings.
Ulani is quite the seductive little minx and sets her sights on the handsome Aidan. She loves the thrill of the chase. Ulani's stay in the hospital begins to uncover many strange occurrences and once these two do a little snooping they realize that they have uncovered quite a hideous secret.
What a thrill ride with so many twist and turns! So unexpected!

I read the first half of this book in "Beneath the Cape Superhero Anthology" and was smitten with Aidan and Ulani. Compelled by curiosity, I am rather pleased to get the opportunity to read the whole story.
Aidan works in a Psychiatric hospital and uses his gift to help the patients.
Ulani is admitted for "streaking" on a roof and ending up falling on the street. Aidan is fascinated by her and whilst talking to her, he ends up with a cat. No Ulani. He takes her under his wing and tries to help her.
In the meantime patients are disappearing from the hospital.
Having discovered the reasons for the disappearances of some of the patients, Aidan and Ulani set out to find a way to put a stop to this outrage. It's quite a difficult endeavour.
I like the way Aidan interacts with Ulani and Mina the cat! Their relationship had me cringing one minute and laughing the next. It's a well written romance novel with an interesting paranormal twist which I would fully recommend.

I LOVED IT!! This is the first book I have read by Sunniva Dee and will not be my last. Thriller,Romance,Shifter, this book has it all...
When I first started reading I did not think I was going to like it was a little confusing for me, but when I got about 10 pages in it all clicked and I could not put it down. Ulani and Aiden's relationship is anything but normal. Ulani, is gorgeous woman,tempestuous, and always ready for an adventure, Aiden and Ulani are a unique couple. Aiden has the power of an empath who is also able to soothe others at will. I really don't want to say too much and spoil for anyone but I would recommend.

This love story was a great one. Ulani and Adrian are a unique couple. He will do what he needs to for the women he loves. They are both self control freaks.
The tom and Jerry act they have is new and fun. The mystery and wow that is added to this story is fresh. Their wild interaction is new and mind blowing.
Must read to learn this story. The brief section we got the the book Beneath The Cape was not enough until I read this. The money that was raised and donated to the Wounded Warriors Project definitely got my money worth with that buy. Glad to have the ending to that wonderful story!

Must read to learn this story. The brief section we got the the book Beneath The Cape was not enough until I read this. The money that was raised and donated to the Wounded Warriors Project definitely got my money worth with that buy. Glad to have the ending to that wonderful story!

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
Aidan spent most of his time working. He worked in a mental facility called Hollyreed. Aidan also has a special ability that allowed him to help with his duties. Ulani is admitted and is feisty as hell! Aidan tries to calm her but she wouldn’t have any of it. She refused to be tamed. Ulani too has a secret and Aidan is about to find out who or what she is.
This was a great read! Ulani is feisty and fun. Aidan is cute and a good guy. The two are total opposites but yet they seem to go together perfectly. I loved the chemistry between them. The author did a great job with the characters and the story. I give this 4 stars

Seriously...this book is one of my favorites of Sunniva Dee's. She is really breaking out of her comfort zone with Cat Love, but it works a million-fold. Part mystery, part super-hero, part romance, part thriller, this has something for everyone. Sunniva's newest leading lady, Ulani, is sassy, tempestuous, and always ready for an adventure, especially considering that she is sometimes...a cat. With Aidan, a man with powers of his own, by her side, they discover a dark mystery at the hospital where he works.
There's a lot of angst, a lot of nail-biting moments and several times I think I stopped breathing. I'm pretty sure I needed Aidan's calming powers at one point! Great job, Sunniva!

I was given this book as an ARC and must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters and their relationship was fun to read about even has they are in the middle of intrigue. I did not want it to end. The story was well written and every so often I caught myself going wait did that just happen? This is the first time I have read one of Ms. Dee's book but it shall not be my last if this is the story telling I get to enjoy when I open one of her writings. All I can finish by saying is Well done Ms. Dee Well Done!!

I am new to ready anything by Sunniva Dee but I can say that I will be reading her again. I didn't know what to expect when i started but was happily surprised. I loved how she took the characters through a lot of different emotions and the way that they used their special abilities was different than most supernatural powers. I wanted to say thank you for the chance to read this story for an honest review. I will be checking out any additional books by her and hope that she has many more to come.
