Publisher Description
The fur is about to fly between a cheerful cat sitter and a grumpy hockey nerd in this hilarious and charming rom-com by the New York Times bestselling author of Meet Cute.
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 booming. But lately, she has a terrible feeling that maybe her life isn’t quite going where it’s supposed to—especially after falling face-first into her newest client. Not exactly the best first impression.
Fortunately, Miles Thorn is just as bad at first impressions. Strike one: he doesn’t 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 “the gremlin.”
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?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hunting (Make a Wish) tugs at the heartstrings with this thoroughly charming and unexpectedly deep contemporary romance. When the mother of NHL data analyst and dog person Miles Thorn is admitted to the hospital for an extended stay, Miles must take in her finicky feline, Prince Francis. The search for a cat sitter leads him to Kitty Heart, social media star and owner of the Kitty Whisperer. Animal lover Kitty feels lust at first sight with handsome Miles, and as their romance builds, she gets caught up in his world, including house parties at NHL players' homes. But when Kitty trips and falls on Miles's dog during a walk, an onlooker edits a film of the accident to make her fall appear deliberate and her followers turn on her, calling her an "animal abuser." The subplot about Miles's mother, who is diagnosed with early-onset dementia, adds some hefty emotional weight, but Hunting leavens the serious moments with a number of hilarious scenes, including one where Kitty must evict a wandering baby raccoon from a hockey player's house. This fresh, fun, and at times heartbreaking tale will stay with readers long after the last page is turned.

A Purrfect read.
Another great read by Helena Hunting. This one will make you smile and laugh out loud with some awkward moments, swoon and give you all the feels. I loved the chemistry between Miles and Kitty. Prince Francis and Wilfred are cherries on top. Definitely worth the read.
