She literally discovers it is love when she falls face-first into Miles. He needs her help, and she will be willing to step in and do what she does best.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Miles<\/strong> is a grumpy nerd caring for his sick mother. He has to take care of her cat and has no clue how to deal with the pesky animal. He finds Kitty and hopes she can help him while he handles more pressing issues in his life. He finds her quirkiness a bit annoying but soon develops a friendship when he discovers there is more to her than just cats.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019m the right person for this book. Yes, I\u2019m not a cat lover or any animals for that, but I have read plenty of romances with animals involved and didn\u2019t mind. It\u2019s just a story, right? My problem with this book is that it does have all of the elements to make a cute little story, but somewhere along the journey, I lost interest. It became predictable and, quite frankly, not memorable. This is just shocking since I truly love Ms. Hunting\u2019s novels.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aspect that I did find myself enjoying is the family dynamics of Kitty and Miles. To be a primary caregiver for someone and watch them slowly lose their memory and their life is so heartbreaking. This kind of hit close to home, and I was drawn into that aspect of the story.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The romance is slow and takes a back burner to the cat talk and goofiness that initially takes place at the beginning of the story. I admit that I put the book down several times, debating if I wanted to continue because of that. Once the main characters came into play, I felt a bit better about the story, but still, it was overshadowed by the heavy subject matters.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As usual, the author writes easy-going stories that can pull you in. Despite my mixed emotions with this one, it was a fairly light read.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_e593595 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PdgJAh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3Nb50zt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/a-love-catastrophe-helena-hunting\/1142422521?ean=9781538720073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/a-love-catastrophe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Helena_Hunting_A_Love_Catastrophe?id=PIOSEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30307,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[136,104,48,50],"tags":[142,216,217,541],"class_list":["post-30305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-forever","category-grand-central","category-reviews","category-samantha","tag-2-5-stars","tag-contemporary","tag-contemporary-romance","tag-contemporary-womens-fiction"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -

But lately, she has a terrible feeling that maybe her life isn\u2019t\u00a0quite\u00a0going where it\u2019s supposed to\u2014especially after falling face-first into her newest client.\u00a0Not exactly the best first impression.<br \/><br \/>Fortunately, Miles Thorn is just as bad at first impressions. Strike one: he doesn\u2019t 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 \u201cthe gremlin.\u201d<br \/><br \/>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?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2_5-hearts-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"107\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jun 12, 2023<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Hachette Book Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Forever<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Kitty<\/strong> is an internet famous for her dealings with cats.\u00a0 She loves her job, but she does feel like something is missing in her life. She literally discovers it is love when she falls face-first into Miles. He needs her help, and she will be willing to step in and do what she does best.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Miles<\/strong> is a grumpy nerd caring for his sick mother. He has to take care of her cat and has no clue how to deal with the pesky animal. He finds Kitty and hopes she can help him while he handles more pressing issues in his life. He finds her quirkiness a bit annoying but soon develops a friendship when he discovers there is more to her than just cats.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019m the right person for this book. Yes, I\u2019m not a cat lover or any animals for that, but I have read plenty of romances with animals involved and didn\u2019t mind. It\u2019s just a story, right? My problem with this book is that it does have all of the elements to make a cute little story, but somewhere along the journey, I lost interest. It became predictable and, quite frankly, not memorable. This is just shocking since I truly love Ms. Hunting\u2019s novels.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aspect that I did find myself enjoying is the family dynamics of Kitty and Miles. To be a primary caregiver for someone and watch them slowly lose their memory and their life is so heartbreaking. This kind of hit close to home, and I was drawn into that aspect of the story.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The romance is slow and takes a back burner to the cat talk and goofiness that initially takes place at the beginning of the story. I admit that I put the book down several times, debating if I wanted to continue because of that. Once the main characters came into play, I felt a bit better about the story, but still, it was overshadowed by the heavy subject matters.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As usual, the author writes easy-going stories that can pull you in. Despite my mixed emotions with this one, it was a fairly light read.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PdgJAh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3Nb50zt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/a-love-catastrophe-helena-hunting\/1142422521?ean=9781538720073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/a-love-catastrophe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Helena_Hunting_A_Love_Catastrophe?id=PIOSEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30305"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30305\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30314,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30305\/revisions\/30314"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
