Review / Release Blitz: A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting


The fur is about to fly between a cheerful cat sitter and a grumpy hockey nerd in this hilarious and charming rom-com from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting.


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 her 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?



MY REVIEW


Miles needs someone to look after his mom's cat. Finding someone online named the Kitty Whisperer sounds sketchy but he's desperate so he calls her anyway. Somehow these two opposites become friends, and then more, baring their inner demons to each other, relying on each other for support and comfort, and eventually so much more.


Kitty's life is her dream. She loves cats, well, all animals really, and gets to care for them for a living. She didn't expect some of the crazy responses to her name, but she's well on her way past all that nonsense, when a grumpy but hot guy needs her services. Somehow she becomes friends with Miles, and eventually more, when it looks as if her life takes a turn, one that goes viral in a bad way. Will Miles stick by her? Or is this grumpy/sunshine couple come to its end?


What a sweet, fun, low on angst rom-com this is. There's a lot less heat than Helena normally delivers, and it's missed, but the adorable characters and all the cats do their best to make up for the lack of spice. There's also more emotional depth than I was expecting given the cover and the blurb, and it helps balance out all the sort of slapstick to some of the shenanigans. All in all, a charming tale with a lovable couple and even more lovable furballs.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
