Welcome to Catpurrcino, the cosy cat café where you’ll fall in love with every cat you meet – and maybe even one special human…

When Emmie’s aunt offers her a job at Catpurrcino, it is the fresh start she needs after a rough year. Now, in the lead-up to Christmas, Emmie can’t imagine anything more purr-fect than pouring hot chocolate for customers and taking care of the café’s many feline residents.

Needing an extra pair of hands for the holidays, Emmie’s aunt hires Jared as a driver. Emmie is immediately struck by how tall and handsome he is, but there is something guarded about Jared, not to mention his allergy to cats. Emmie could never fall for someone who can’t be around her furry friends ­- and she doesn’t have much time to spare, anyway.

Until an unexpected blizzard arrives on Christmas Eve.

Trapped in the café with Jared and the cats, Emmie discovers Jared has been holding on to more than one secret – and is in desperate need of someone to help him lay his past to rest.

What seems like the most disastrous Christmas might not be such a cat-astrophe after all. Will being snowed in finally open Jared up and let Emmie into his heart?

Pour yourself a mulled wine and settle down with a mince pie to enjoy this warm, witty and wonderful festive romance. Perfect for fans of The Pumpkin Spice Café, Sarah Morgan and Catherine Walsh.

I'm so delighted that The Cat Cafè Book Club is ou I'm so delighted that The Cat Cafè Book Club is out today! This is probably my favourite plotline in the series so far... a cosy romance with a dash of mystery and small town charm. It was a challenging book to write, but I also had so much fun writing about the book club fighting to save the café! 🧡🍂

🐈‍⬛️🍂 Blurb 🍂🐈‍⬛️

Brenna has moved to the countryside looking for peace and quiet with her many black cats. But Brenna is keeping a secret she can’t share with anyone…

Matt, the cheerful barista behind the counter at Catpurrcino, runs a monthly book club for locals to bring people (and cats) together.

When Matt and Brenna both reach for the same book at the library he invites her to come to the next meeting.

Brenna is wary of letting anyone new into her life, but she can’t say no to her two favourite things combined – cats and books – or Matt’s gorgeous smile.

Just as Brenna starts to think she has finally found a haven in the warmth and friendship of the book club they are rocked by terrible news: a big developer is threatening the future of not only the café, but the whole town.

Brenna and Matt vow to do all they can to save it. As they battle against the odds, Brenna begins to let the town, and Matt, into her heart.

Thank you to all the lovely ARC readers who left e Thank you to all the lovely ARC readers who left early reviews for The Cat Cafè Book Club (which is out next week)! 🐈🎃 My editor sent me a roundup yesterday and these are some of my favourites... I think I need to frame the quote "the way Rachel writes cat ladies is brilliant"! Truly the best kind of compliment! 😸

I haven't posted about what I'm reading in my spar I haven't posted about what I'm reading in my spare time in a while... largely because writing my own books and editing other people's takes up so much of my time, so I'm a slower hobby-reader now. But I'm currently reading and loving this novel in The Bone Season series by @say_shannon! 💙 It's one of my favourite series, with such a gripping supernatural-dystopian plot and a beautiful writing style that always inspires me. Whenever I pick up a book in this series, I find it almost impossible to put down. 

Are you reading anything good this weekend? 🥰

I'm truly obsessed with my cat café covers designe I'm truly obsessed with my cat café covers designed by the very talented @kelley.mcmorris.art and we now have a beautifully autumnal cover for Book Club to go along with the other seasons (Book Club is out on August 20). Since we have four seasonal covers now, I thought I'd show you some of my favourite details from all the covers for the series!

Do you have a favourite little detail? ✨️🐱
