A Cat Cafe Christmas

by Codi Gary

Overview

A laugh-out-loud, opposites attract romance about three of the world’s most beloved C’s: Christmas, Coffee, and Cats.

Veterinarian and animal lover Kara Ingalls needs a Christmas miracle. Opening the Meow and Furrever Cat Café to find loving homes for adorable, adoptable cats was a dream come true—but with more cats than customers, it’s quickly turning into a nightmare. If Kara can’t figure out some way to get the café out of the red, it won’t last past the holidays.

Marketing guru Ben Reese may be annoyingly smart and frustratingly bossy, but when he hatches a plan to put the café in the “green” by Christmas, Kara realizes that she’d be a fool to turn down his help. And so what if he turns out to be an excellent problem solver and nerdy-hot—he can’t even handle fostering one little kitten. She needs to keep their relationship professional and focus on saving the cafe.

But if Ben and Kara can set aside their differences—and find homes for all the cats by Christmas—they might discover that, by risking their hearts, they’ll have their own purr-fect holiday . . . together.

Editorial Reviews

09/01/2022

A professional relationship turns into something more for cat café owner and veterinarian Kara Ingalls and marketing guru Ben Reese in this cozy holiday romance from Gary (All I Want Is You This Christmas). Kara and Ben have both been unlucky in love and are unwilling to risk their hearts again, but despite a dislike-at-first-sight meet-cute, the pair start to bond over a plan to save the Meow and Furrever Cat Café—and a tiny foster kitten named Chaos. Gary weaves a pleasant, low-heat tale reminiscent of dozens of holiday-themed romance books and movies, but the addition of some pretty major emotional baggage for both main characters gives the book some depth. Kara and Ben do a good job sharing the spotlight with kitties in the story, too, with descriptions and punny names of the café's adoptable residents adding a cute element to the beginning of every chapter. VERDICT Cat owners and fans of Hallmark Channel movies will relish snuggling up to read this novel during the holiday season, but some romance readers may find that there isn't enough spice to balance the sugary sweetness.—Jenny Kobiela-Mondor
