Chasing Your Tail

When Brad Marks is hired as a pastry chef at a trendy Brooklyn cat café, the job seems like a piece of cake, but when he discovers that his new boss’s best friend is his ex, their proximity becomes a recipe for disaster. The ex in question, freelance food critic Lindsay Somers, has successfully avoided Brad for five years since he broke her heart and caused her to give up her own culinary aspirations. Though it doesn’t take long for their flame to reignite, if Lindsay can’t learn to trust again they might both get burned. This third installment in McMurray’s “Whitman Street Cat Café” series (after What the Cat Dragged In) is a fast-paced, feel-good contemporary romance. Though the extreme degree of will-they-won’t-they highs and lows is frustrating, the steamy love scenes are sure to satisfy. Narrator Suehyla El-Attar Young gives unique voices to the diverse cast of characters and even does a convincing cat when needed. Her emotive, upbeat performance yields an engaging listening experience.
