Christmas Cookies at the Cat Cafe is a sweet romance about a widow who's feeling like she's come to a crossroads in her life and needs to make a fresh start. Diane is the not-so-old matriarch of a family of women who have started a cafe that partners with a local cat shelter. Over the past year, the daughters have established their business, become important members of their community, and found love. Now that they're established, it's Diane's turn to find a new course for her life. It's been two years since her husband's death. Is she ready to rekindle an old flame?
This story takes place at Christmas, so it's a perfect book to snuggle up with during the holiday season. It's a sweet romance, which means there's nothing more explicit than snuggling and short kisses, which means that it's a book that could be left out without scandalizing young readers.

| | If it's too late in the season for you to pick up a new book now, you're in luck. Christmas Cookies at the Cat Cafe is one of a series of books all set at the Cate Cafe. Each book in The Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series focuses on a different worker or customer at a small-town cat café. |
Each book is a complete story with a happy ending for one couple, and at least one forever home found for a rescued cat. While there is a definite order to the books, all are well written enough that they could be read as a stand alone, or out of order.
What I love best about this entire series is that the characters are all real, genuine people, and they're all trying hard to be good people who are kind to each other and active in their community. Family is important to all of them, as are healthy relationships. I don't think there's a single character in these books that I wouldn't want to have to dinner in my own house. In a world where violence and greed are common, it's nice to read about nice people.
