Publisher Description
Cats and Christmas are a heartwarming combination in Kristen McKanagh’s series starring Snowball, the matchmaking kitty who brings unlikely couples together in stories “saturated with heart and humor” (Booklist starred review). Perfect for readers of Melinda Metz, Sandi Ward, it’s a sweet treat for fans of holiday-themed novels and cat fiction.
Snowball, the fluffy furball who found her forever home at a cozy Victorian inn, has her paws full this Christmas bringing two stubborn hearts together. Good thing no mission is too big for this kitty cupid . . .
Most cats have nine lives, but Snowball is one of the very few with two jobs. Officially, she’s the Weber Haus inn’s greeter. Unofficially, she’s the town matchmaker. Her track record is the cat’s pajamas—until she meets her owner’s grinchy brother, Peter Diemer. Peter hopes to move the family bookstore to a busy location downtown—but someone else has outbid him for the last storefront.
Christmas is the ideal season for Lara Wolfe to fulfill her dream of expanding her home business into a real shop. Too bad someone is posting negative comments on the town forum. What kind of Grinch objects to a toy store?
Snowball is sure these two are a perfect match. They already have so much in common—books are a kind of toy, right? Now all they need to add to the mix is love, and Snowball has just the shenanigans up her furry sleeve to deliver a sweet romance in time to make the season merry and bright . . .
“Purrresistibly heartwarming.”

Customer Reviews
I love Snowball’s sweet and sometimes hilarious efforts at matchmaking
This was a sweet swoony Christmas romance which includes three dimensional characters who grow, witty dialogue, an engaging storyline, and low angst. Peter is ex-military who now is a bookstore owner following a career ending head injury and coma. Lara is a toy maker opening her first brick and mortar shop at Weber Haus. Not knowing Lara was the one who outbid the bookstore for the rental space where the toy shop will be located, Peter writes a number of unsupportive messages on the town forum website about the new toy shop. While there is instant chemistry between the Lara and Peter, neither of them is interested in a relationship. Lara, because she’s wants to focus on her new business and Peter because his head injury makes him grumpy and he’s not sure he’s relationship material anymore. But fate and a fluffy white cat step in to force these two soulmates to spend time together repeatedly. The journey to their HEA is a gentle roller coaster ride that will give you all the feels as they each work through their own issues. Rounding out the cast of main characters and one whose POV helps to tell the story is Snowball, a white cat who has a lot of opinions on the behaviors of the humans at Weber Haus. Seeing the story from Snowball’s POV is a unique twist and adds quite a bit of humor to the story. Especially Snowball’s indignance at the humans for consequences that directly result from her choices. This story and series by Kristen McKanagh is well worth a read especially curled up on a snowy day by a fireplace. I willingly reviewed an early copy of this book.
