Review: The Bookworm and the Cat's Meow by Jeanine Lauren

When life gives you a second chance, sometimes it comes with claws.

Recently divorced and looking for a fresh start, Lance Reed swaps his business in the city for the cozy charm of a bookstore in the heart of Sunshine Bay. What he doesn't expect is the slew of community commitments that come with it—especially the agreement to display cats from the local pet shelter in his store.

There's just one problem: Lance hates cats.

Enter Raven Johnson, the spirited, cat-loving woman behind the pet shelter. Also, in her mid-fifties and divorced, Raven has dedicated her life to her daughter and her feline friends, leaving little room for romance or other personal ambitions.

To her chagrin, her cat sanctuary is now linked to the bookstore, where her cats, the cat-hating Lance, and his books must somehow coexist.

Will Lance learn to open his heart to the furry friends he never wanted, and can Raven find room for a new chapter in her own story?

My Review:

A sweet clean romance.

I read another review about this book and I knew I had to read it as well. It is such a sweet story about a cat rescuer who meets the man who just bought the bookstore in their little town. I really liked the theme with cats, books and the 50+ year old characters that I could relate to.
