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?
A Love Catastrophe is billed as an opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine romantic comedy, which ordinarily is right up my alley. However, the execution falls flat.

Starry-Eyed Love is the second book in the Spark House series, and it’s my favorite so far. It is heartwarming with the perfect touch of whimsy.
Single parent romances and surprise pregnancy tropes are my jam, and A Kiss for a Kiss combines both of these. The result was a little ambrosia for my bibliophilic taste buds.
There are many promising aspects to this friends-to-lovers story, but the last portion of the book just didn’t do it for me.
This was a perfectly fine read for me. A Secret for a Secret is sweet and sexy and there isn’t anything glaringly wrong. It just didn’t wow me the way some of the other books in the series have.
A bunch of feel-good moments are packed into this book, making A Favor for a Favor a joy to read. I knew Helena Hunting had a potential hit series on her hands after reading A Lie for a Lie. It’s now official because I enjoyed this book even more.
A Lie for a Lie is a great example of why I read romance. The story is one huge feel-good escape, peppered with loads of swooning and happy sighs.
So far, 2019 has been a year of underwhelming reads for me. I was stuck in somewhat of a book slump, but thank goodness for Helena Hunting. Handle with Care delivers the kind of entertainment I was craving.
Well, color me disappointed. I have loved, loved, LOVED the Shacking Up series. The books have charmed me, entertained me, and made me double over with laughter. While Making Up is entertaining, when compared to the other books, it doesn’t quite measure up.
A great “meet cute” is one of my favorite parts of a romance novel. If you’re not familiar with the term, a “meet cute” is the sweet or humorous way in which two main characters first meet. This book has a fun yet awkward meet cute, as well as a really charming story.
Pucked Up is the second book in Helena Hunting’s wildly popular Pucked series. I had a lukewarm reaction to the first book, Pucked, but decided to give the series another shot. I guess I liked this book marginally more.
The Good Luck Charm is custom made for second chance romance lovers. Helena Hunting gives us some tension mixed with humor, and adds hockey to satisfy sports romance addicts like me. It’s a great combo.
