Ben, marketing professional and “not a cat person”(his words) seems to have annoyed the wrong veterinarian. Kara, co-owner of the Meow and Furrever Cat Cafe, is living her dream - but when there are more cats than customers, it’ll be a miracle to make it past the holidays. Though his marketing ambush is not welcome, Kara and Ben will have to work together to get all the cat adopted so they can have a “meowy” Christmas.

Listen, I couldn’t help myself with that pun.

I had a lot of fun reading this one! One of the highlights was definitely Ben’s kitten - the fact that Ben was his safe person was the sweetest thing ever, especially with how reluctant Ben was to keep the kitten at all.

I also really appreciated the inside look at shelters - so many shelters have trouble making ends meet, and having a passionate vet who is willing to undercut her value for the animals is a common occurrence.

The cat dating bios throughout were adorable, and I was so happy to see kitties getting their happily ever afters too! What a sweet book, and a good reminder to adopt, not shop!

As someone who loves cats and Christmas I couldn’t think of a more perfect book for me. Waiting for the day I’ll find someone that will fall in love with me and my cat. 10/10 recommend to anyone who loves cozy Christmas romances (and cats)

This is a really cute take on a Christmas story. I love cats so that was an added bonus. The characters were relatable. I’ll be reading more from her in the future.

Cats and Christmas are like, my two favorite things, so I knew that I was going to love this book!

This was a delightful, tropey, Hallmark-esque romance and I truly enjoyed it!! This opposites attract romance between two people trying to start over was just the fluffy holiday romance I was looking for.

Kara owns the Meow and Furrever Cat Cafe. Unfortunately, she needs a miracle because she has more cats than customers. Enter Ben who is in marketing and has a plan that will help the cafe.

Ben and Kara were awesome. I love the grumpy meets grumpy side of it. They have both been burned in the past but I love seeing the romance bloom between them. The cats were absolutely a big part of this book and it's charm. Each chapter has the bio of a cat up for adoption and I loved it.

I love Christmas and cats. This book is lacking neither of those things. It was a nice, warm read.

Thank you to NetGalley, Forever Publishing, and Cody Gary for the e-ARC. This review is my own opinion.

This was a fun, fairly fluffy holiday romcom featuring cats and small businesses but also anxiety, betrayal, and angst. The setting and story premise were fun, and I enjoyed reading about the characters and their small-town adventures. It was sweet.

Love Christmas, romance, and cats, you will love this book. Kind of predictable, but it got the job done.

This was such 🐾 pawsitively🐾 fun and sweet read. I loved that the plot centered on the Cat Cafe, cat adoption, responsible pet ownership and feline veterinary care. It tied in a lot that is going on in the veterinary community with burnout, shelter statistics and the need for more resources which was great to see in a rom-com! As a cat lover I may be biased - but I absolutely loved the adoptable cat descriptions, drawings and adoption stories that were tied into the book! Even though this book takes place around Christmastime - it can be enjoyed all year round! 4/5⭐️😻

Thank you to NetGalley and
Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the complementary copy in exchange for my honest review.

This book was the perfect mix of all my favorite things. While the story dragged at times, I overall enjoyed this read, especially the adoption profiles for the cats at the beginning of each chapter!

This book was cutesy and cozy. I'm not gonna lie, the main appeal to me was the fact that it was a cat cafe. The story was cute, but I almost wish there was more to it???? It didn't give me those stomach butterflies like I usually want to have in a Christmas themed romance, but this one was cute.

An adorable hate to love Christmas book set in a cat café, any cat lovers will enjoy it a great deal.

The main character is bringing her romantic trauma along with her and ha to learn to overcome it.

I'm not entirely clear why she liked her ex so much and why she's still so hung up on him, but that's a romance novel for you.

The resolution happened very quickly, it felt a little rushed.

Warning to car lovers, if you don't already own a cat, the adoption descriptions at the beginning of each chapter might send you immediately to your local shelter.

I absolutely read this before the holidays and then just added it to the large stacks of books I have read and not reviewed…but I refuse to post this when January is over so HERE WE GO.

This was a cute rom-com and a quick read. I adored all of the cats and the fact that each chapter opened with a fun bio of each cat available for adoption. It reminded me of some fun Instagram and TikTok animal shelter accounts. While the story was sweet, I wasn't blown away. I liked both of the characters, and wanted good things for them, but I felt like the timeline for the romance was pretty quick. Honestly, I think my favorite part was how much of a sucker Ben ended up being over the kitten Kara kind of forced him to foster. However, like I said, this is a cute story!

Read if you're missing some holiday romance! :)

Kara Ingalls opened a cat cafe called the Meow and Furrever Cat Cafe. The idea behind it is that customers will adopt the cats from the cafe and give them loving homes. But with more cats than customers her business is quickly going south. Marketing expert Ben Reese comes up with a plan to turn the business around by Christmas.
This was a sweet Christmas themed romance, and played out like a Hallmark channel movie. I liked how the cats were all named after movie characters. The ending was sweet and overall k enjoyed this book. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.

Codi Gray is Codi Hall but clean. This was the perfect opposites attract but add in coffees, Christmas, and cats. I usually avoid anything that doesn't have any spice; I would read anything Codi writes, even if it were the bible and I'm Jewish. I knew going in there was no spice; honestly, the story didn't need it, and I still enjoyed the clean, wholesome romance. The cat cafe is a dream of mine, and reading about it made me want one even more. Also, the book boyfriend in this one. Swoon. The characters can be awkward sometimes, but it gives the story the tension it needs without the smut, aka closed door. The Christmas element is a back piece that can be read all year long. I love the cover and will be suggesting this to all my Christmas in July people. I will now be looking for more books with cats and cafes as this was the highlight of the book for me. Give me coffee and cats ANYDAY

This was a cozy Christmas read that has all my favorite things, Romance, cats, coffee, and Christmas. This grumpy sunshine book was everything I needed to get into the Christmas spirit

Being an animal lover I knew this was going to be a great read. Animals and Christmas are two of my favorite things so I was definitely excited to read this.
It had great characters, gave me all the holiday feels and wrapped up nicely at the end. Definitely worth reading.

I have to say the little blurbs at the beginning of each chapter about the Café Cats were most definitely my favourite part. An unlikely pair, but in the end, a heart warming ending. Slightly predictable, but the motion of getting to the ending what truly what made this story a worthwhile read.

Codi Gary quickly became one of my favorite seasonal authors. Christmas is encompassed perfectly with well rounded characters I can not help but fall for. This story was absolutely lovely, highly recommend.
