Historical romance with cats as the main tie in. Only 1 story has explicit sex.
Can't believe it, only 1 other review? This is a very good anthology, although it's from 1995.
Jennifer Blake - 4 stars. This is a story from I think the late 1700s Louisiana. It involves an unusual young woman & the very devil of a handsome man. There's also a very unusual pet (cat). Don't want to give too much away, but it's good.
Robin Lee Hatcher - 4 stars. This a story set in early 1900 Idaho. Angel is really an angel using a cat as a disguise to give Felicity (a plain 30 year old spinster) the answer to her prayers. Prescott is a handsome hunk of man who holds the key to her happiness. A little contrived, but not insipid at all.
Susan Wiggs - 4 stars. Historical paranormal. Set in Wales in the time of Arthur (as a youth). Sirona has a secret. She turns into a huge black cat with the help of a family heirloom. The only person who can break her connection to this article is the one who holds the key to her heart. Rhys believes he's the one.

I was reading everything Susan Wiggs about this time. Loved all three of these short stories. Thought they were all inspired pieces.
