Review: "A Love Catastrophe" by Helena Hunting

Congratulations to Helena Hunting on the release of her latest standalone novel, "A Love Catastrophe."

 

Miles Thorn has been taking care of his mother's beloved cat, Prince Francis, while she's in the hospital, but now that he's been asked to accompany the NHL team for which he works on an upcoming road trip, he's going to need some help. When he finds an online ad for the Kitty Whisperer, a cat sitting service owned by Kitty Hart, it seems like the answer to his prayers. Surprising them both, their awkward first meeting leads to a genuine friendship with the possibility of more, but they'll have to vanquish the ghosts of their pasts before they can build a lasting love.

I loved how adorably awkward Kitty and Miles sometimes were, as well as how strongly they supported each other no matter the challenges they faced. Even though they were opposites in a lot of ways, their personalities complemented each other perfectly, and they'd also had similar experiences in the past that allowed them to empathize with what the other had been through. They made a super cute couple and I was rooting from them from the start.

 

I'd recommend this charming story for all contemporary romance and romantic comedy fans and look forward to whatever Hunting writes next.

About "A Love Catastrophe"

The fur is about to fly between a cheerful cat sitter and a grumpy hockey nerd in this hilarious and charming rom-com by the New York Times bestselling author of Meet Cute.

Kitty Hart has become internet famous as the Kitty Whisperer for her expertise on all things feline, and as a result, her cat-sitting business is booming. But lately, she has a terrible feeling that maybe her life isn’t quite going where it’s supposed to—especially after falling face-first into her newest client. Not exactly the best first impression.

Fortunately, Miles Thorn is just as bad at first impressions. Strike one: he doesn’t like cats, especially Prince Francis, the haughty and mischievous Sphynx his mom left in his care. Strike two: tackling Kitty to the floor in a misguided attempt to save the pet he continually calls “the gremlin.”

As awkwardness slides into attraction and things start to turn purr-sonal, will these two complete opposites ever be able to find their furry-tail ending?
