Thank you @netgalley and @readforeverpub for approving me for this ARC!! Released October 4th 2022!
I know Halloween is around the corner but hear meowt… I love cats and I love Christmas so… I had to!
Kara and Ben have only two things in common. They have sworn off relationships and they are definitely attracted to each other. When dislike turns into banter, these two team up to save Kara’s co owned cat cafe…
I did not expect my first Christmas read of the year to be a grumpy x grumpy romance! Or should I say grinch x grinch? But alas, this book was really cute.
It’s a very quick read. I loved that every chapter starts with a doodle of a cat and the description of them. It was an adorable touch. NO SMUT! So if you’re looking for something explicit, this is not it!
The story was a lot more complex that I expected, Kara and Ben’s reasons to be against dating are actually pretty solid and I would have done the same if I found myself in their shoes tbh.
The best friend/side characters were very lovable too. I hope there is another book coming out about Charity and Schwartz, I love me a sunshine x sunshine in denial!
Why not five stars? Sometimes the main characters were a bit too judgmental. I think it was done on purpose to show how hurt they were but it was too much at times. Ben finds a kitten and takes it to the café because he does not want a pet. Kara is literally so rude to him and makes him feel TERRIBLE for not wanting a pet. Ben also has his moments. He comes through a bit against women at the beginning. I understand he is butt hurt because of his ex, but the rest of the female population is not at fault! Apart from that, this book was a very cute and clean holiday read.
