OCTOBER, 2019 COFFEE AND CRUSHES AT THE CAT CAFÉ By: Kris Bock The Plot: What do you do when you meet the guy of your dreams? Set him up with your sister, of course. Kari doesn‟t have time for love when she‟s opening her new cat café. She‟s busy hiring employees, fighting with the health inspector—oh, and welcoming 16 shelter cats. She‟s doing this for the cats, the community, and her family. The café will give her sister, Marley, a job worthy of her baking skills. Then a tattooed military vet wanders in claiming he‟s a mas- ter baker. Surely Marley will fall for a guy this sweet, this sexy, this tasty. Colin has other ideas. It‟s Kari who makes him want to turn up the heat. But he‟s spent the last two years recovering from physical and psychological wounds. Is he really ready for a rela- tionship? He‟s not even sure he should commit to Samson, the sweet Siamese cat who steals his heart. Reviews Welcome. Available in E-Book At: Amazon An Excerpt “I started cooking mainly to feed myself. I was getting flabby from fast food.” He didn‟t look flabby now. A smile softened his lips. “Turns out cooking is fun. Focus- ing on the colors, the smells, the tastes. That helps keep me in the moment better than meditation. Eventually I got into bak- ing.” Kari sat up straighter. “You bake?” They already had a baker: her sister. But Marley couldn‟t work seven days a week. Plus, this would give Marley and Colin something to talk about. Something to do together. Marley‟s son was nine. He was old enough to handle his mother dating, and Marley needed more fun in her life. Colin liked cats. He did yoga, baked, and knitted. He was open about his need for counseling. Lots of checks on the nice guy list. Colin leaned forward and said in a seductive voice, “You should try my salted caramel blondies.” Author Contact Info: Price: $2.99 Length: 150 Pages Heat Level: G Website Blog Facebook Twitter Biography: Kris Bock writes novels of romance, mystery, and suspense.
