Victorian England, 1848:

When the powerful Fairshaw Master dies, an ancient prophecy promises the title of Fairshaw, and the heiress, Lady Adelaide Fairshaw’s, hand in marriage to the man who can find the Fairshaw Cat.
Lady Adelaide doesn’t care that society has determined that perfect ladies must obey the wishes of their dead fathers. She has no desire to sit around draped in her starched, black mourning gowns to wait for the man who happens to catch the missing Fairshaw Cat.

But then she meets Frederick Holloway, the opportunistic dock worker determined to pull his sisters out of poverty, by whatever means necessary–including climbing the wall to Lady Fairshaw’s window to convince her to help him find the Fairshaw Cat.
Lady Adelaide is determined to hate the brazen scoundrel that refuses to leave her alone.

Soon their verbal sparring leads to love, and she begins to hope against hope that Frederick will be the man who finds the Fairshaw Cat after all.
What happens to these starstruck lovers when he doesn’t?

This has been on my TBR list for a while, and I’m so glad I finally got to read it! I bought it because I love the cover, so I honestly had no idea it was a fantasy/supernatural book.

Let me start by saying how much I appreciate that the author didn’t take pages and pages and pages to explain what was going on–she jumped right into the story and dropped enough details along the way to help the reader catch up. I do wish, however, there had been a bit more explanation given on a few aspects of the community to really help me feel grounded in the setting.

Overall, though, it was such a unique concept with sweet relationships between the hero and his family. I appreciate the slightly off-color heroine and the rogue with a tender side hero. While there’s magic in the story, it’s part of the story and not the sole focus–this really is as much of a romance as it is fantasy.

A fun, easy read.

Rated PG for a few swear words.
