A Cat Café Christmas

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.
