Descripción editorial
The hilarious and heartwarming novel about everyone’s favorite klepto-kitty, MacGyver, an adorably mischievous tabby with a talent for thievery and a sideline in helping the humans in his life find the love they deserve…
She’s putting her love life on paws… but her cat has other ideas!
Jamie Snyder is thirty-four and single but NOT ready to mingle. After suffering through The Year of the Non-Commital Man, The Year of the Self-Absorbed Man, and The Year of the Forgot-to-Mention-I’m-Married Man, Jamie’s ready to celebrate The Year of Me—and MacGyver, of course. MacGyver is an adorable tabby with a not-so-adorable habit of sneaking out at night and stealing things from the neighbors. That’s right, MacGyver is a cat burglar. He’s still the only male Jamie trusts—and the only companion she needs.
MacGyver knows his human is lonely. He can smell it. It’s the same smell he’s noticed on their neighbor David, a handsome young baker who’s tired of his friends trying to fix him up. But now MacGyver’s on the case. First, he steals something from David and stashes it at Jamie’s. Then, he steals something from Jamie and leaves it with David. Before long, the two are swapping stolen goods, trading dating horror stories, and trying not to fall in love. But they’re not fooling MacGyver. When humans generate this much heat, the cat is out of the bag . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jamie Snyder, the 34-year-old heroine of this whimsical standalone from Metz (coauthor of the Roswell High YA series), is fed up with dating losers, hates her job, and is worn out from caring for her ill mother. So when her mother dies and leaves her a sizable inheritance, Jamie moves across the continent to Los Angeles. Finding a boyfriend is the last thing on her mind. But her cat, MacGyver, can smell Jamie's loneliness and knows just how to cure what ails her. Mac scours the neighborhood and finds another human, a widower named David, whose lonely scent matches Jamie's. Mac's brilliant plot is to steal articles of clothing from the two humans and leave them at each other's houses. Soon Jamie and David are exchanging stolen items as well as dating horror stories, and pretending to be together to discourage well-meaning matchmakers. But Mac knows his stuff, and pretense has a way of becoming reality. Fans of cozy romances will root for these realistic and appealing characters; mystery readers should know that the crime element is limited to Mac's thieving.
