Grab yourself a pumpkin spice latte and your best cosy sweater to curl up with this charming, romantic read that will leave a paw print on your heart…

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.

Has Brenna finally found a place to call home? And what will happen when her past finally catches up to her?

This beautiful girl *might* be the reason Brenna has seven black cats in The Cat Cafè Book Club... 🩶

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! 🧡🍂
