TOIL AND TROUBLE by M.A. duBarry and C.S. Chatterly

Cursed by a witch because of their “love ‘em and leave ‘em” sexual exploits, Irish Lord Trevor McGovern and his lifelong friend, Ian, have spent several centuries living as cats. The only way to break the curse is for both men to reform their roguish ways –which shouldn’t be too difficult as cats –and find their true loves – which may be a lot harder considering they need women to fall in love with them!

TOIL by M. A. duBarry
Tabitha Cole never thought when she adopted a stray cat named Toil from the animal shelter that her whole life would change. Yet, that’s exactly what happens. Calling for a familiar to help protect her from an ancient evil, the young witch never dreams that her cat would disappear, or that a handsome, naked man would appear. But can Trevor convince her that he’s her cat Toil in time to save her from the evil?

Trevor McGovern never believed that he and Ian would ever actually break the curse placed upon them, so when Tabitha’s call for a familiar changes him temporarily into a man again, he’s astounded. He also recognizes that she has a terrible evil surrounding her and he must protect her in order to break the curse for good.

This is a sensual story with a hero and heroine finding love when they least expect it. Trevor has almost given up and just exists day to day while Tabitha is trying to survive some hard times. She doubts herself and her magical ability. Both are in for a sensual and sexual surprise when they finally discover each other.

TROUBLE by C. S. Chatterly
Spending eternity as a cat is not Ian O’Rourke’s idea of bliss. Having the same thoughts and urges as other men, but not the ability to fulfill them is almost enough to make him rethink his lecherous ways. Until the curse is broken, Ian will do everything necessary to escape from his “owners”

Rescuing Trouble, a stray cat, from the local animal shelter was not something Marian Cole had planned when she went with her sister to adopt a pet. Marian is shocked when one of her spells goes awry, especially when in her dreams, her cat transforms into a man. After he explains that he has been cursed for so long and why, she is angry for him and wants to help him break the curse. However, Ian has finally found someone he values above himself. Will he ruin their chance for happiness? Or will Marian convince him to try at redemption?
Ian and Marian are great characters. She’s hiding her true self because of past pain and betrayal. Ian helps her accept herself but can’t accept that he may need her to break the curse. The sexual tension between these two is drawn out and the climax will leave you panting for more!
