Romance and Rescues at the Cat Cafe — Kris Bock

Readers say: In the Cat Café tradition Kris Bock has established, this is a really fine book. Keep up the series, please! The Cat Café characters—especially the cat characters!—are so much fun. Loved this one as with all the Cat Cafe stories. All the people and cats have great personalities.  Can getting stranded in a creepy house full of abandoned cats turn these enemies into friends—or even something more?  After a rotten week, Holly jumps at the chance to go on a rescue mission. Dozens of cats are stranded in a remote house where the owner has died. They've been abandoned, and she can sympathize. But she did not agree to make the road trip with Dustin, her rival and biggest headache at the cat café where they both work. Dustin has given up trying to get Holly to like him. Still, a long drive through a snowstorm and an overnight in a house full of cats might bring them together—or result in his violent demise. But what they find is worse than they ever imagined: no lights, no heat, the snow still coming down, and over twenty hungry, skittish cats. They'll have to work as a team to survive and save the animals.  One thing is certain—if they make it back alive, their relationship won't be the same.   This title stars Merlin, the Maine coon cat readers adore, and many more cats to fall in love with. Holly and Dustin are a Grumpy/Sunshine pairing, and this book includes the tropes two against the world, antagonist to lovers or enemies to lovers, and forced proximity.  The Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series features the workers and customers at a small-town cat café, and the adorable cats and kittens looking for their forever homes. Each book is a complete story with a happy ending for one couple (and maybe more than one rescued cat).  I highly recommend this book if you enjoy stories about pet rescue (especially cats) and sweet love stories.
