Set him up with your sister, of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kari doesn&#8217;t have time for love when she&#8217;s opening her new cat caf\u00e9. Renovating an old restaurant, hiring employees, fighting with the health inspector \u2013 oh, and welcoming 16 shelter cats \u2013 keeps her plenty busy. She&#8217;s doing this for the cats, the community, and most of all her family. The caf\u00e9 will give her sister, Marley, a job worthy of her baking skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then a tattooed military vet wanders in claiming to be a master baker himself. The caf\u00e9 doesn&#8217;t need another baker, but maybe Marley needs a man. Surely she&#8217;ll fall for a guy this sweet, this sexy, this tasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colin has other ideas. It&#8217;s Kari who makes him want to pour on the sugar and turn up the heat. But he&#8217;s spent the last two years recovering from physical and psychological wounds. Is he really ready for a relationship? He&#8217;s not even sure he should commit to Samson, the fluffy marshmallow of a cat who steals his heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color\">Betty&#8217;s Quick Review<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is my first time reading anything by author Kris Bock, and what a great start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coffee and Crushes at the Cat Caf\u00e9 is an adorable story. It is sweet and light-hearted while still keeping the reader interested in what will happen to all of the characters. If you are looking for a quick and easy read with a sweet romance story as a bit of an escape, I would recommend giving this one a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look forward to discovering the other goings-on set in Kari&#8217;s Furrever Friends Cat Caf\u00e9 and more stories from Kris, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"196\" height=\"35\" src=\"https:\/\/toughcrowdreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-star-rating.png\" alt=\"Four Stars\" class=\"wp-image-348\" style=\"width:98px;height:18px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A quick and easy read with a sweet romance story.
