April optional theme: No Place Like Home
What I’m Talking About:
Juliet burned out in banking and now manages Furs Hill, a no-kill shelter that takes in MANY kittens and cats. She’s being harassed by a money-hungry developer who threatens to take the land from the shelter. Along comes movie star Carlisle Danvers who is taking a break from the pressures of a high-profile career after his Hollywood sweetheart dumped him. He LOVES cats and decides to be the champion of Furs Hill.
There’s No Place Like Home (TBR Challenge April theme) in a small town romance, and that is especially true in Love, Furballs & Forever where both Juliet and Carlisle relate their situations to finding home…
“He’d only been here a short while, but it already felt like a second home.”
“‘It’s an amazing place,’ Carlisle said. ‘I’ve been here all morning. It already feels like home.’”
Love, Furballs & Forever is a very straightforward story where the conflicts are easily overcome. The tension is low-key and plot predictable. While I wasn’t wow’d by the story, it is an easy, pleasant read with lots of kittens and feel-good moments. There isn’t a lot of character development, and at times, I felt like Juliet would change from fierce protector of kittens to petulant teen from one situation to the next. She stands up to the developer, but puts up with him going on and on about how he’s going to get his way. She trusts Carlisle but then runs away when she can’t handle the situation.
Love, Furballs & Forever is billed as a clean, sweet romance, and that’s exactly what you get.

About the Book:
Who needs a man, when you have cats?
An enemies to lovers sweet romance featuring a bundle of kittens and one grumpy cat!
Juliet Connelly, manager at Furs Hill Animal Rescue, left the man she’d planned to spend her life with three years ago. He betrayed her, took her money, and lied to her, smashing her heart. She’s not willing to risk it again. Love is not on the table.
Carlisle Danvers has spent the last six months hiding. His time as a successful actor made him wealthy, but at a price. His heart was shattered. He turned away from the acting world and sought solace in Saffron Springs with his beloved cats, away from fame, away from the intrusive media, away from everything, especially love.
