About the author
Janice Bennett
64 books10 followers Janice Bennett never intended to be a writer, but with B.A. degrees in anthropology and classical civilizations and an M.A. in folklore and mythology, what choice did she have? Her first jobs included the usual abc's—archaeologist, bookkeeper and college craft instructor. Then, on a whim, she submitted her first novel, a Regency, and life took on a fascinating new twist.
Several books later, she began presenting work-shops, teaching novel writing at a community college, serving as a writing panel member at WorldCons...then became an editor. So far, she has written twenty-six novels and more than twenty novellas and received a number of awards, including two Lifetime Achievement awards from Romantic Times/Rave Reviews.
In her spare time, she spins wool (and pet hair), knits, crochets, weaves, and quilts. She lives in a rural town with her husband, never enough cats, a huge dog, an organic garden—and a computer she swears runs on chocolate chips, not silicon ones, which explains a lot about her.

A darling collection of Regency-era tomances centered in cats and kittens. My favorite of the trio of short stories was "Lord Trevor's Tomcat", by Cathleen Clare.
Lord Trevor doesn't like storms or spiders, and the appearance of a rather brutish-looking black cat startles him, but Lord Trevor avows to keep the beast and dotes on the alleycat. His staff and friends thinks it's odd for a man to have a cat for a pet, and one that he walks on a leash, but Lord Trevor doesn't care. When his cat gets into a neighbor's garden and impregnates the woman's cat, the woman, Sophie, appears on Lord Trevor's doorstep, ready to fight (verbally, of course), but something amusing occurs, and the people in town thinks she's been compromised by Lord Trevor! Neither wants to marry, but they do come to an agreement and try to be friendly to each other, which shocks everyone. More mishaps occur, thanks to Lord Trevor's Tomcat, but it all works out in the end.
The other two were also very good, too, so don't skip over them. ... This would have been a quick read if not for the distraction of life (and mobile games). No sex, profanity, or violence in these stories, but a death of a minor character does occur.

I got to this romance just in time for Halloween today! Bewitching Kittens contains three regency romance short stories that feature kittens who, though various acts of micheviousness, are able to help their owners find love. What I really enjoyed about the stories were the active roles the cats had; they weren't mere bystanders like in some romances with animals, they were actually very much part of the plot lines. And adorable! My favorite story was the first, "Sanctuary," wherein the animal-loving heroine falls in love again with an old suitor she had previously rejected due to his penchance for hunting.
