Cataclysmic Shift (The Aloysius Tales #3) by Tara Lain



Blurb: 
Super cat, Aloysius, may be the most powerful witch’s familiar in the world, but when he takes a blast at the hand of an evil witch he loses it all -- power, memory, and his feline form -- to become the ethereal human beauty, Alain Bellarose. When Alain wakes up naked on the floor surrounded by dogs and cats, his eyes first set upon Luke Elliott, the handsome and mysterious veterinarian. Suddenly, the prospect of being human doesn’t seem so bad.  Luke has a lot to hide and he likes animals way more than people, but he can’t resist the flamboyant boy who washes his face with the side of his hand and tries to lick his own privates! The loss of Aloysius depletes the power of the Witch Master, Killian Barth, and that of his “secret weapon” Sammy and leaves their coven sitting ducks for two very nasty females. When Alain discovers that he’s really a powerful cat, he’s faced with the ultimate choice. To protect his community, or stay with the man he loves. 

My review: 
Cataclysmic Shift gives us the tale of Aloysius. Aloysius is the familiar of the most powerful male witch in generations. He has bailed our heroes out time and time again. All he has asked for in return is for some salmon and all the adoration he was due. In this story Aloysius is returned to his human form and that causes all kinds of issues. I’ll admit I loved Alain but he wasn’t what I pictured a human Aloysius to act like.  After 500 years as a cat I expected more entitlement and capriciousness rather that the sweet innocence we got. None the less I loved Aloysius and Luke. This was a sweet and lovely story of romance and responsibility.
