Blurb: Charlie thinks his Friday will be the same as any other working as an animator, until Quinn Fitzgerald and his rescued Asiatic Lion, Aseem, walk into the studio. While the lion is impressive, his handler is the real reason Charlie’s heart skips a beat.
Quinn has devoted years of his life to rescuing big cats, so he can’t turn down the donation the animation company is offering in exchange for using one of his cats as a model.
Charlie isn’t quite as confident as the handsome, charming man his sister teasingly calls Sex God Quinn Fitzgerald. He’s so nervous he can hardly talk to the other man, so he’s shocked when Quinn not only notices him but also invites him to spend the weekend at his big cat sanctuary.

Review: This novella is derived from a combination of two novellas previously published by Silver Publishing: Taming the Lion Tamer and Lions in the Candlelight. When I first got this book I thought it would be a paranormal and I was quite surprise to find out that it wasn’t. However once I started reading it and fell in love with these two guys. Quinn walks in with his rescued Asiatic Lion Aseem and Charlie notices him right off the bat.
Quinn has devoted his whole life to rescuing big cats after taking a trip with his now ex-boyfriend. His boyfriend fell in love with a doctor and he fell in love with the big cats. Realizing that he opens a sanctuary for the cats who are in danger, injured, or just no longer wanted. He needed donations like many other companies similar to his. So when an animation company asked to use one of his cats as a model he couldn’t turn it around. What he had not expected was Charlie. He wanted this man more than any other man ever, so afterwards he asked him to come down for the weekend. Surprised Charlie says yes. He says yes to a lot of things.
Charlie couldn’t believe that this sexy man wants him, but he is just a bit scared. His sister calls Quinn, Sex God Quinn Fitzgerald and he thinks she just might be right. I loved this story although it left me feeling a little off about it. However, it is one of the cutest stories I have come across in a while. It is beautifully written with wonderful characters that are both tender and fierce, loving and caring. You will find that you can fall in love with Quinn and Charlie. They just call to you.
I would recommend this story to anyone who loves big cats, cat sanctuaries, two hot and sexy men and the feeling that you can never find too much true love. It is a perfect little story.
