Helena Hunting is one of my favorite authors. I love her writing style!

This book was a charming and delightful read. The characters each had good character development and had good growth. Even the animals had some growth. I enjoyed the unique way certain things were described. Like when they first kissed she "attacked him with her lips" lol.

Pepper scale ( )

This was a really sweet romcom. There was a lot of emotion in this story. It dealt with a lot of family issues, like losing a parent/spouse, losing a child, etc. There was enough comedy to make it a true contemporar romcom. I enjoyed the romance and the story. And hearing Joe Arden say "toe beans" was amazing! ( )

Kitty Hart enjoys her job as Kitty Whisperer when she meets cat hater, Miles Thorn. Miles is desperate to find someone to take care of his mother's cat, Prince Francis, while he deals with her recent dementia diagnosis. Kitty is perfect, but she and Miles get off to a bad start when he insults his mother's cat in front of her. Even though Kitty agrees to help, Miles knows he has a lot to make up for.

A Love Catastrophe is a gentle romance between two people dealing with guilt associated with the loss of a loved one. The conflict in the story is very minor and easily handled, making this book a bit slow. The characters are sweet and likable, but come across as somewhat flat. Even though some serious topics are a part of the story, they aren't delved into as much as they could have been. Laugh out loud moments that are adorable but awkward save this novel. Overall, A Love Catastrophe is a lighthearted story with likable characters. ( )

Shoulder shrug.

I didn't love this book, however if you are looking for a enemies to lovers troupe, where they are barely enemies and the plot has minimal conflict this is the book for you.

This book does deal with grief and it's aftermath and dementia.

PG13 ( )

A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting
Kitty Hart owns a cat caring service. Her business is growing through her social accounts and her soft heart. She more comfortable with her charges than people.
Miles Thorn calls Kitty to take care of his mother’s cat while she’s in the hospital and he has to go out of town. Miles isn’t especially social himself preferring data and hockey. The two meet and it’s a match made in Kitty heaven. Now they just have to get past all the pesky details like the gnome trashing cat and the allergic reaction Miles has as they attempt to clean up.

Cute and animal friendly with sexy times, after feeding the pets.
I loved the occasional awkwardness of both Miles and Kitty as they become close and get to know each other. There are some good quips and a couple heartfelt moments that brought tears. And anyone that has had a pet will recognize typical behavior in the book as being authentic and usual.
A wonderful love story with our favorite family pets along for the ride.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. ( )
