Cat Love

by Sunniva Dee

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release Date: October 5, 2015

Cover Design:  Clarise Tan, CT Cover Creations

A sexy thriller about the animal in all of us.

Aidan uses his superpower to stabilize minds at the Hollyreed Specialist Hospital. Ulani uses hers to chase rats on rooftops. Until she’s caught and deposited in Aidan’s care.

At the hospital, Aidan finds Ulani's room empty—save for a cat, whose fur retracts in favor of silky skin and a vamp-gorgeous femme fatale.

Aidan’s obsession with Ulani grows—

While patients at the hospital go missing.

We’re in a bit of a conundrum with Ulani’s erratic changes between cat and woman, but I still have to bite down on my lip to stifle the urge to chuckle.

“Ulani, listen to me. You delayed the change for fifteen minutes in there. Have you ever done that before?”

“No, but still.”

“Be patient. You’ll master it.”

“But I’ve meditated for a freaking month straight. If it worked that well for you, why isn’t it kicking in for me? And you were just a little kid too—it should be even easier for me.”

Ah, she’s sad. Frustrated. She turns her head to the side from her facedown position on the bed. Warm, wet cheeks and shiny, messy hair; her pull is even stronger now that she isn’t even trying. She’s so lovely.

I stare at her lips and lower my voice when I explain, “I think people are different. What works fast for one person might take longer for someone else. Who knows; me being a kid when I learned how to control my power might have made it more intuitive.”

Her breathing slows. Focusing on me, her gaze drifts over my face. Gleaming with freshly shed tears, the disappointment still lingers in her eyes, but they hold something else too.

If I followed my instincts, I’d ignite my feelers to read her. I won’t though. I need to see her like this. Just observe how she reacts to me.

Her shoulders. They curve above the sheets, ivory white and as beautiful as—all of her. I realize she never dressed after changing back from Mina. She just went to bed.

“Do you want your clothes?” I whisper.

She blinks slowly, eclipsing then displaying emerald green. Her mouth is so red. Tasty, I know.

“No…” She doesn’t invite me with words, but her lips part, showing me.

I sit down on the bed next to her. Cup her face and stroke her cheeks with my thumbs before I trail down to the start of her neck.

“You are such a handful.”

Cat Love

Originally from Norway, I moved to the United States twelve years ago. I hold a Master’s degree in languages and taught Spanish at college level before settling in at the Savannah College of Art and Design as an adviser.

I write New Adult fiction, sometimes with a paranormal twist—like in “Shattering Halos,” published by The Wild Rose Press in February 24th 2014 and in “Stargazer,” released November 2014. The first book I’ve self-published was the New Adult Contemporary novel “Pandora Wild Child,” which made me a proud indie author in October 28th 2014.

I specialize in impulsive heroines, bad-boys, and good-boys running amok. Then, there’s the intense love, physical and emotional attraction beyond reason—sensory overload for the reader as well as for the characters. Like in real life, I hope you’re unable to predict what comes next in my stories.

Yes, so I write what I love to read, and depending on the reader, you’ll find my books to be a fast-paced emotional rollercoaster—or disturbing because the struggles of love aren’t your thing. Here’s to hoping you have the same reading vice as me!

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.

Cat Love

A sexy thriller about the animal in all of us.

Aidan uses his superpower to stabilize minds at the Hollyreed Specialist Hospital. Ulani uses hers to chase rats on rooftops. Until she’s caught and deposited in Aidan’s care.

At the hospital, Aidan finds Ulani's room empty—save for a cat, whose fur retracts in favor of silky skin and a vamp-gorgeous femme fatale.

Aidan’s obsession with Ulani grows—

While patients at the hospital go missing.

At twenty-three, you think you’ve experienced a lot. Been there, done that for the most part. Older people might laugh at you for expressing such beliefs, but you still don’t expect to come across reality-altering experiences.

Here I am, with the morning energy of Seven setting in around me as I carry a small, lost cat from the locked unit back to my apartment… only the bundle of fur is changing.

There’s something wrong, I think, my thought natural and instinctive. But when her coat retracts against my hand, replaced by smooth, human skin, my intuition withdraws too and checks out.

I think I roar while she expands in my arms. I’m frozen in place, my vocal cords the only part of me responding. She grows heavier, longer, wider, until she plops from my hold and onto the floor. Vamp-red hair flames around her in bright waves, and is that a snarl lifting her lip?

For an instant, I swipe the hallway with my eyes, hoping someone sees what I see. No nurses, no doctors, only Mrs. Anderson’s ancient husband is there, fists clutching his walking chair while he takes in the apparition between us.

Not a thread covers stunning porcelain skin. She swings, bereaving me of my fleeting view of a small ruby-red triangle and kiss-shaped nipples, and leaps to the breakroom yards from where I stand.

Ulani’s gone. It takes me a moment to react. I meet old Robert Anderson’s incredulous gaze, and I shake my head at him, both denying what we’ve experienced and assuring him that we’re together in this.

As I turn to follow her, he mutters, “Holy God,” behind me, and my next session with a patient will have to be with Robert. He’s been free of Dr. Holstein’s treatments because of his quiet ways, but if he starts talking about this, he’ll quickly become another notch in the good doctor’s lab desk.

I just experienced something I never thought possible. A freaking cat morphed into a woman. Hell, this is what dreams and movies are made of. At the same time, I’m conditioned to react to the needs of my patients, which is why I chase after her now.

Besides Ulani, no one’s in the breakroom. She’s got part of the curtains draped around her, forming an orange toga, and bare toes with scarlet nail polish peek out. She’s stunning, but more than my physical attraction to her, her emotions fascinate me.

My years in this hospital are few, but the number of hours I’ve worked could double the years, and now it’s time to cloak myself in professionalism.

“Ulani,” I say. “Are you okay?” It’s a simple yet necessary question. Since I have no experience with cat women, I’m not privy to the sort of strain such a transformation can have on their bodies.

Her glare is not human, I realize. I was struck by the beauty of those irises the last time I saw her. Now, she narrows my view of saturated emeralds behind slitted eyes. She’s suspicious but not afraid—neither is she the slightest bit confused. This girl has issues, but they’re not on the mental level.

“Don’t. Say. Anything.” Ulani enunciates the words one by one, putting so much emphasis into her command that her intensity reverberates in my chest.

Efficient footsteps clack down the corridor outside. The slight shuffle of Dr. Holstein’s gait accompanies it. Laurie replies to his orders with “right, of course” and “certainly, Dr. Holstein,” but then they both come to a dead halt in the doorway.

“I found Ulani,” I say quietly.

“Remy, John!” Dr. Holstein barks down the hallway. “I need your assistance immediately.”

I'm originally from Norway and moved to the United States in 2001. I have a Master's degree in languages and taught Spanish at college level before settling in as an adviser at an art college in the South.

I write New Adult fiction with soul. Sometimes it's with a paranormal twist—like in “Shattering Halos,” published by The Wild Rose Press in February 24th 2014 and in “Stargazer,” released, November 21st 2014 by the same publisher. Since then, I've self published New Adult Contemporary novels “Pandora Wild Child,” and "Leon's Way," with "Adrenaline", and "Beneath the Cape", the superhero anthology benefiting The Wounded Warrior Project in its entirety.

I write impulsive heroines, bad-boys, and good-boys running amok. Intense love, physical and emotional attraction —sensory overload for the reader as well as for the characters. My goal? Is to keep you on your toes until the end of each story.
