A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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 he doesn’t like cats, especially Prince Francis, the haughty and mischievous Sphynx his mom left in his care. Strike 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?

The Hero: Miles Thorn – he needs a cat sitting service. He is a data analyst for a professional hockey team. In other words, a hockey nerd. He is stuck with his mother’s cranky sphinx cat, Prince Francis. He has a dog at home but needs someone to look after his mom’s cat while he goes on the road with the team. He is pretty stressed about his mom as well who was picked up wandering around outside in her pajamas and she didn’t know where she lived. She is in the hospital for tests.

The heroine: Kitty Hart – she is well known as a cat whisperer; she is a cat sitter and a trainer. She is top rated on all the websites for her area. She is a bit awkward and quirky. She drives around in an SUV that looks like a cat and has “The Cat Whisperer” on the side. Kitty lives with her mother and sister and her best friend has a cat café.

The Story: Miles hates his mother’s cat which Kitty is personally offended by. She sees he is a dog person, and can’t figure out why so many dog people are cat haters. So she tries to educate him on what cats need. Miles is dealing with his mother having early onset dementia so some of the themes in this are pretty deep. Though there are plenty of humorous situations as well.

Though Miles works for an NHL hockey team, there wasn’t a ton of sports, so I don’t think I would characterize this one as a sports romance, especially since he wasn’t one of the Hockey players, but works on numbers and statistics, even though he did help out the hockey players on their weaknesses. It was more of a rom-com than a sports romance.

This book was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Joe Arden and Erin Mallon, two of my favorite narrators. These both have terrific voices and are great at voice acting as opposed to just reading.
