This is one of those seasonal romances authors write with their favourite characters. They usually don’t add any drama or novelty to the original story (in this case TomCat Jones), but simply “play” with the existing dynamics of the couple to create a warm and joyous romance, perfect for the season (in this case around Christmas).

Thomas Cattrell Jones, T.J. for short, has only one trouble remaining in his life now that he is the familiar of the wannabe wizard MacGowan, he has to find the courage to ask him to move in (actually not a far distance move since MacGowan is living on the ground floor while T.J. occupies the upper floor). But in any case it’s more a proof of their commitment, almost a marriage. And their friends are happy to collaborate leaving the house empty for them alone.

That is how long this novella last, one long night during which T.J. and MacGowan share love and sex, and magick; actually they are not alone, since a group of undines is upsetting T.J., and his feline nature would like to go hunting and killing them, while instead MacGowan find them cute, and in a home where there is a cat, only one “cute” being is allowed, and so there is no place for T.J. and the undines in the same room.

Most of the time T.J. is in his human form, and even if he preserves some “feline” attitude, like being overly cuddling if in the mood, but snapping when irritated, all they do is perfectly human and with no magic involved (if not for letting an hot tub appearing in the bathroom). So this is not really a paranormal story, maybe just a little fantasy, but it’s basically two boys in love sharing the warm in a cold winter night.
