It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a
fortune should donate to a cat rescue.
Overworked PhD student Liz takes a brief break at the local cat café with her friend Jade, who wants to start a special needs cat rescue. Jade pitches her idea to Carl, who is in charge of corporate giving for a rich local family, and sparks fly between the two.
Meanwhile, snark flies between Liz and Carl's best friend. William seems stuffy and rude, and worst of all, he doesn’t like cats. William is intrigued by Liz even though every one of their interactions seems to go awry, in part due to his terrible cat allergy.
For the sake of their friends and the animals, the two figure out how to get along – until Liz learns some horrible facts about William. But is she trusting the right person? Then the feisty kitten Lydia disappears – perhaps stolen – and they have to overcome their differences in order to rescue her.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story is fun and I had several laugh-out-loud moments – really out loud! It also passed the ‘I'm awake in the middle of the night so I'll read test’ because then I stayed up for 4 - 5 hours reading and didn't actually sleep.” – reader review
Quick Excerpt:
The cat Lydia started winding around
William’s ankles. He grimaced, looking as if a stranger was trying to use his
shirt as a handkerchief.
“See, she likes you!” Caroline
squealed.
“I swear that cat is boy crazy,”
Jade said. “She’ll take attention from anyone, but if there’s a man around,
she’ll ignore every woman in the room.”
Well, that explained it. Liz liked
dogs too. And cats and rabbits and ferrets and rats. Also monkeys, lemurs, red
pandas, tree kangaroos, otters, elephants, dolphins, and just about every other
animal.
Except for people. She didn’t always
have a high opinion of them.
Liz scooped up Lydia. “I’ll distract
her for a while. It looks like your drinks are here.” She jerked her chin
toward the door as Dustin came in with a tray.
Lydia squirmed and meowed, wanting
to get back to pestering the handsome man. Liz strode to the far side of the
room and deposited Lydia on top of a cat tree. “Behave yourself,” Liz muttered.
“You don’t want a guy like that anyway. A dogs-only person!”
Lydia sat up and began grooming,
ostentatiously ignoring Liz.
Liz huffed out a breath. “Don’t
bother making yourself pretty for some man. If he doesn’t adore you at your
worst, he’s not worth it.”
“Really enjoyable story. I love these stories from The Cat Cafe. Two different couples take center stage here. Jade and Carl hit it off right from the start. William and Liz have lots of issues to deal with between them. Had fun reading this one. Great characters and engaging storyline.” – reader review
