Resumen del Editor

Finding your happily-ever-after is complicated when your matchmaker is a cat....

Etta's happy with her simple life in the mill, but when her aunt passes and leaves her a very peculiar cat, everything goes awry. Now, determined to find her place in the world, Etta's learning to hunt, having audiences with a king, and falling for a man who's keeping something from her.

Beau's happy at sea until his father passes and leaves him with an odd last request. Now he's setting up shop in a small town, searching for ogres, and, inconveniently, falling for the miller's sister - who just happens to be taken with someone else.

It soon becomes clear that if Etta and Beau want to get anywhere, they'll need not only each other's help, but the cat's as well. But putting your trust in a feline is difficult, especially when you're not exactly sure what it is he has planned....

Contains mature themes.

Master Puss in Boots,

Now, when you hear Puss in Boots you generally would think, A furry cute Cat wearing boots and a hat with feather right?

Not at all with Shari L Tapscott audible! You have a persnickety cat, a Dashing Prince and a lonesome villager with a hidden identity. A young woman seeking adventure, and a clean romance and you have the tale.
The narrators did a fantastic job with the narration!

Ladies and Gentleman I give you Puss in Boots!

Very cute and sweet story with a romantic ending!

This story of Puss in Boots has a unique way of bringing romance into it! The characters are amazing and it will keep you wanting more!

Great story!

I really enjoyed this version of Puss in Boots. The author is excellent, as are the narrators. I will look forward to Ms. Tapscott's further works.

wonderfully told, kid/teen appropriate retelling

Great characters that seem to grow an change as we get to know them and they face new tests. I loved the way the Shari changed up the original and the complete over view of the story in it's entirety, it was beautifully paced in this soothing while intriguing way just like true old fairytales were. It was just awesome the way it goes from one level to the next as the characters get themselves deeper in to a certain "master" plan. The parts where they almost tossed that particular master out a carriage window left me in tears laughing so hard. Loads interesting twists and a cunning sense of justice. Getting book 2 now, if it says not on audible search it by the title it's not all listed together for some reason.

A wonderful re-imagining of Puss in Boots

The heroine of this tale is a remarkable young woman. In a way, this is a coming of age fairy tale. In another, it is a study in love and respect, selflessness and courage. The readers are skillful and pleasant. The story held me spellbound-such a pleasant twist on traditional fairy tales where the only attribute the heroine has is her beauty. Three dimensional characters fill out the story. Unexpectedly good, especially the cat! Cat lovers, feminists and romantics will greatly enjoy this short, modern take on a very old fairy tale.

Delightful story

I found this story lots of fun. Loved the characters and laughed out loud several times.

Interesting Story, Irritating Narrator

The story is very interesting, if a bit predictable, but it's nice to hear a remake of this fairy tale. The male narrator is fine, good. The female narrator, though, has a distinct lack of understanding of normal sentence cadence for story telling. It's as if she think she needs to make an important point with every single sentence. Argh.
