Despite this being a retelling of a well-known fairy tale, this was a really good read. The author put an interesting spin on Puss in Boots. Even though the "poor miller's son" was nothing special, "Puss" was unique. I've had no trouble remembering the book even though it's been awhile since I read it. This is another example of Angel Martinez's great story-telling and polished writing. Go out and buy everything this author writes!

Fairy tale adaptations have been popular since the beginning of fairy tales. Angel Martinez manages to create a unique blend of Japanese folklore and classic Western European fairy tale with her take on the story of "Puss in Boots." I couldn't anticipate the story arc while reading; I loved the ending so much I almost cried. Willem is the youngest of three brothers in a family whose father made his money as a beer brewer. He winds up inheriting "Puss" the family cat rather than anything else from his father's legacy as his oldest brother inherited the family business and his middle brother gained his father's vehicle -which made sense as he no longer has a driver's license- and there's a moment of shame, sadness, and sorrow at the thought his father didn't love him as much as his brothers yet his good nature turns it around as he realizes the old tomcat wants to go with him wherever he's taking himself after his father's estate has been handled. It's easy to immediately fall in love with Puss who is exactly the right blend of cat and man. Kasha, as the cat demon asks to be called, is a servant of Amaterasu who is banished to live among humans for failing in his duties three times. He's devious in a way I associate with felines while being affectionate in a way I think we all wish our cat companions were all the time. His devotion to doing right by Willem is admirable and I gotta admit reading about him going up against an ogre alone? I was terrified for him. For those worried about unhappy endings, this one does have a happy ever after, but it comes at a price the way fairy tales all did in the past. I love the epilogue which reassured me things worked out well for these characters. I sincerely hope people decide to give this one a shot if they're interested in a new take on an underused story. Boots is a fantastic read filled with fun and a little bit of filth to keep it interesting for the adult reader.

Book – Boots Author – Angel Martinez Star rating - ★★★★★ No. of Pages – 90 Cover – Perfect! POV – 3rd person, dual POV Would I read it again – Yes. Genre – LGBT, Romance, Fairytale-Retelling, Paranormal, Supernatural ** I WAS GIVEN THIS BOOK FOR MY READING PLEASURE ** Reviewed for Divine Magazine This was a lovely, really cute retelling of Puss in Boots. However, I want to get the bad points out the way quickly – there was no sense of time (historical/contemporary or year) and no sense of origin. All we has the brewery and the name of the MC's family to suggest his heritage, though it often slipped in. The same can be said for Kasha, because there were hints that he was a demon, a kind of God like creature, but also with a Japanese background that wasn't properly explained. The story also ended at 94%, which felt good for the story and plot, but left me feeling just a touch cheated for not having more to read. However, I enjoyed the other aspects of the story and pushed these aside without problem. It's just a niggle that bothers me, since I'm detail-orientated. I don't think it helped that I'm from the UK and had no historical context to place the mining crisis, mentioned in the Author's Note. There is a hint of a Dom/sub relationship between the MC's that was dealt with nicely; gentle, not too hard core. The Master/slave relationship was much more subtle and less solid, because of Willem's disinterest in being a 'Master'. Kasha, the cat character, was adorable, feisty and definitely a feline in nature. Their portrayal was brilliantly spot on and always interesting to read. I never got bored or thought the character predictable, though there were risks there, with this being a fairytale retelling. I found the whole concept of the story highly original, especially from the characterisation point of view. Willem as just as interesting; newly homeless, with his father having just died and his boyfriend having cheated on him and moved the new lover into their apartment. His life is in the pits, when we begin the story, and it only gets better and better as Kasha settles into his lief as his cat and nighttime human lover. As for Joey, well let's just say that I most definitely approved of Kasha's solution and loved how that resolved itself. Brilliantly done. ~ Overall, it was a fantastic story, an original retelling and will definitely be something I read again. I'm a fan of Martinez' writing and this one didn't disappoint. From the characters to the plot and the level of craftsmanship that it required to make this plot believeable and the characters relatable, it's five stars all over. ~ Favourite Quote ““Hey, you all right, babe?” “I'm shattered,” Kasha whispered against his throat. “Nothing but a kaleidoscope of jagged pieces.” “Did I–?” Kasha put a finger over his lips to shush him. “You are not a stud, my dear Willem. You are a god.” Willem grinned and tipped Kasha's head up for a tender kiss. “A little over the top, there. But I'll take it.”” ““Eat your peas and I'll even pay attention when you show me your new shoes later.” He whispered in Willem's ear, “It's a new pair of boots.” “Oh.” Willem's heart beat a little faster against Yorukaze's palm. “Maybe you could model them for me, then?” “With pleasure.” “And maybe you could keep them on when I take you to bed?” “My dear Willem, what else is a good pair of boots for?””

*Reviewed by Sally for Sinfully Gay Romance Book Reviews ~ 3.5 Stars* We’ve all been brought up with fairytales. At least, I hope we have. My heart breaks to think of the child who was never read a bedtime story, who was never traumatised by the Three Little Pigs [yes, I sided with the wolf]. Every culture has its own set of stories which were used to entertain, to point out morals or sometimes demonstrate that wealth, happiness and the princess may be won through sheer dumb luck. Drawing upon those classic tales is a favourite thing for authors to do and it’s always interesting to see a new interpretation. This version of Puss in Boots from Angel Martinez takes the story down a familiar road but certainly changes the method of locomotion. Willem is the downtrodden hero – homeless, jobless, bereft of a cheating lover and recently fatherless – in need of assistance. He has a choice – he can accept the help of big brother Gunther, a room in his house and employment in the family brewery or he can accept his father’s sole legacy, the brewery cat, and follow his artistic aspirations by going to sit and brood on a chilly park bench. He’d be no kind of hero if he accepted the sensible option so off to the bench he goes. So far so standard fairytale trope, but with the entrance of Kasha, the cat, the story takes on a new twist. Kasha is an elemental force, confined to earth for a series of misdemeanours, and ownership of him and his considerable powers is achieved by bestowing footwear – a bit like Dobby in reverse. He tells Willem that in return for a pair of boots he will turn Willem’s fortunes around and Willem, with nothing left to lose, believes him. But Kasha isn’t restricted to cat shape and can also be a delightfully alluring, and very flexible, young man so while he works his magic on their journey to their happy ending he and Willem can enjoy quite a lot of sex. This is a very engaging story. Willem as the everyman hero does deserve a lot better out of life and wins it, at least partly, due to his own talents, Kasha’s character merges pretty sensuous twink with feline ruthlessness to make a formidable ally and there is a whole network of secondary characters that I enjoyed. Even the antagonists were good fun in their own way. I did have a few niggles but they were more my problem than anything to do with the book. There were times when I felt I was reading an episode of a much larger work so I desperately wanted a bit more world building. Also, there were many times I felt I wasn’t getting the joke and I wasn’t in a position to stop reading and Google. But none of that stopped the book from being a very entertaining read. Highly recommended for readers who like their romantic fairy tales sweet and spicy.

This is the second, and expanded, edition of Boots, A Tilted Fairytale. Willem’s father has passed away and in what he thinks is a final insult from the grave, his father leaves Willem the family cat. Then the cat starts talking to him and Willem is sure that along with his boyfriend, home and job, he’s lost his mind! But Kasha keeps telling him all will be well – which could explain the line on the top of the book – how can he distrust such a charming kitty in cowboy boots? I love that line! The story is told from Willem and Kasha’s alternating point of view. For anyone who reads my reviews, you will not be surprised that I loved this take on the fairy tale Puss in Boots. I actually had to look up the original story to refresh my memory because it’s been a while and there have been so many versions of it! I like the fact that in this version, Kasha is a different type of character than the cat in the original. He is a magic cat, although I don’t wish to spoil how he is, indeed, magic. The background of how he came to be on earth the way he is, makes him even more of a likable character. Willem comes across as this big, gentle artist who wishes for love, but got hurt by it instead, with his father and then his boyfriend, but he has not lost his compassion and his caring. His care for Kasha, even after finding out his secret, seems to bring out the same characteristics in Kasha again – because that did lead to his current existence in serving. I enjoyed this story so much, it was hard to put down because of the connection between the characters, the way the relationship evolved. I don’t want to go too much further as I think that would create spoilers, but I will say if you like fantasy stories, if you like fairytales with a bit of a twist, or just fantasy stories with a cat, well, you will probably like this story! There is the characters, the plot, romance, great secondary characters and for me, it was enough to invest me in the characters that I needed tissue by the end of it! And if a story can bring out emotion in me, then it is always a high recommendation from me!

Willem is gifted a cat after his father dies. Considering Willem is homeless, jobless, and recently found his boyfriend in bed with someone else, he's having a bad time of it! How can having the family cat, Puss, help in any way?! But Puss is so much more! He is a demon cat banished from his home for multiple wrong-doings. When Puss first talks to Willem, he thinks he's delusional! I think I would too!! But he explains how he is there simply to help him, but he also prefers the name Kasha. Where did they ever come up with a terrible name like Puss he says!! When Kasha requests a pair of boots and a hat from Willem, its now time to help change his terrible situation around! The first night Willem dreams of a beautiful man lying in his arms. When it happens again on the second night, Willem is frightened at first, but then realizes its actually Kasha in human form. Since his banishment, he's went from master to master trying to change things for the better, only to be shoved aside when he wasn't needed any longer. With Willem things are different. He doesn't want to move on. But he doesn't know how he can stay if Willem no longer needs him. Boots was a fun, magical read! Such a spin into an adult M/M fairytale! I was intrigued from the start! The story was funny at times, and touching just the same! The story morphs into one of hope and dreams! Such an adorable love story! 4 stars/3.5 flames This story was gifted to me by the Jeep Diva for an honest review. The rating and review are my opinions.

Puss in Boots meets I Dream of Jeannie in the land of fairy tales. This was one excellent and unique story. The family cat turned out to be more than the family cat. Willem lost everything. His job, his home, his boyfriend, and his father, who died and left him Kasha, the cat. Kasha feels obligated to take care of Willem. He got them a house and provided food. He also tried to provide Willem a future, but his plan didn't turn out the way he hoped. It actually backfired on him. This story has a HEA though. Willem is a complex character. We know that he is artistic, so I was just assuming that he was also sensitive and shy and even a bit timid, but he was so much more. He also is assertive, commanding, caring, and loyal. For a little cat that talks, Kasha is a bit bossy, but in a good and caring way. He's loyal to a fault and crafty for Willem's good. He will also sacrifice everything for Willem. There is also a surprising twist to Kasha which I won't reveal because I don't want to spoil it for you. This story is full of surprises. I read one section and it takes a turn and you bump into a big surprise. Made for a very exciting book. I highly recommend this book. If you like fantasy books, talking cats wearing boots, fairy tales, and good triumphing over evil with an HEA, then you will love this book I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
