Perfect Timing by Catherine Anderson-Book Review

Perfect Timing by Catherine Anderson

This book was mailed to me before it came out because I was one of the Book Review Team members. I think there were 500 people chosen for this. I am signed up for Catherine Anderson's Newsletters and that is how I heard about it.
This book is a Romance book but in some ways it is also a little bit of a Science Fiction or Fantasy book too.

This book is about a Man named Quincy who has a Sister- in- law Loni who is dying. A druid Woman named Ceara time travels into the future to save Loni's life. Without giving too much away Quincy and Ceara are forced to Marry. Alot of things that Ceara says are funny because not only is she from the past but also from a different Country.

The story has a lot of humor in it. The characters and entire family are very likeable. Some things in this story are so out there that it will be hard to believe that this happened. But of course this is a work of Fiction so it didn't happen. You have to just read it and use your imagination. There are also a few parts with adult themes in them but they are not too graphic that it is still fun.

While reading this you will laugh, perhaps cry and even find out what  a "Hen Party" is.

Although this is not my favorite Catherine Anderson book I would recommend it to anyone who likes Romance stories.

My favorite Catherine Anderson book is Comanche Heart. If you like reading about Indians and the past that is a great one to read!

Introducing 3 new members of the Boots family

Someone posted on a Facebook Rummage Sale site that they had a friend that had 2 cats they needed to give away because the owner was moving and could only take one cat and her dog with her. I saw the Picture of Marley (Male) and Noa (Female) and I fell in love! I have been wanting to get a couple of Male Cats but I just loved the way these two were snuggled all together in the picture so I talked to Kevin about it and we decided to get them. I messaged the Lady and we talked back and Forth and I told her we would take them. A little while later she messaged me again and asked me if by any chance we would want a third Cat. I really didn't think Kevin would want to but he said as long as the third one was Spayed or Neutered it was okay with him. Atlas was Neutered so we decided to take him also and I am so happy we did. He is actually my favorite of the three Cats. He is so pretty and also the most friendly. We got the Cats on Thursday 1/31/13 and that first Night they all hid under my bed. Atlas and Marley would come out for treats and let me pet them a little and then run right back under. Now that a few days have passed they are a lot more friendly and outgoing. The female "Noa" is still really shy and hides a lot. She also will hiss and swat at Kito and the kids. I have found that most female Cats are like that and that is the reason I wanted Males in the first place. She seems okay with Kevin and Me petting her but I think the kids are just too fast moving for her. She may warm up more, but if not that is okay I just try to keep them away from her. Both male Cats tolerate the kids well and even seem okay with Kito. Atlas actually will stand in front of Kito and they both check each other out but have not fought or anything. Kito is really funny because he will stand in front of Nathan and try to block the Cats from getting near Nathan. He seems to think the Cats will hurt Nathan. He does this when other dogs are around too. He is a great Guard dog even though he probably could not do much to protect the kids, lol. We all love having the Cats in our Family!
Atlas-Male, Very Friendly and Curious. The climbing explorer, Also very Heavy and likes to lay on my feet!
Marley-Male, shy but warms up and friendly, loves treats and laying in Windows

Noa-Sweet but doesn't like too much attention, hates Kito and either runs away or swats him
