A shoeless son of a miller. A high-fashion tabby. An adventure far more than they bargained for. Leo is not a normal cat. Archie Miller might be a dreamer, but he's seen the complex mousetraps the stray barn cat builds, and he knows he's right. When his late father wills him the "magic cat" as his only inheritance, Archie is ready to prove it, making a deal with the supposed faerie to gain his fortune. But the ornery brown tabby has plans of his own. And when Archie ends up entangled with a shapeshifting ogre and a reckless royal beauty, it seems he has unleashed more magical mayhem than he can handle. Can the shoeless son of a miller romance a princess, become the hero his kingdom needs, and fit into a very fancy pair of hunting boots? Or will all his dreams become a toe-pinching nightmare? The Shoeless Prince, a retelling of Puss in Boots, is book 8 of Once Upon A Prince, a multi-author series of clean fairy tale retellings. Each standalone story features a swoony prince and his flaws, growth, and happily ever after.
This was my first book by Jacque Stevens and I thought it was a very enjoyable Retelling of Puss in Boots with several interesting characters and excellent world building to draw the reader into the story. I loved getting to know Archie and Ainsley. I also really liked Leo and Tabitha and am looking forward to reading more about their story in The Soulless Prince: A Tam'lin Retelling.
