๐Ÿ‘‹ Helloooo swoon squad!
Welcome to While You Were Reading โ€” a podcast for contemporary romance readers.
Iโ€™m your host, best-selling rom-com author Lisa Daily โ€” and every week, I'm bringing you the best contemporary romance novels of 2023. Today on While You Were Reading, weโ€™ll be talking with one of my favorite authors, Helena Hunting, about her new romantic comedy, A LOVE CATASTROPHE.

Helena is the author of some epic contemporary romances you know and love. Sheโ€™s the NYT and USA Today bestselling author of MEET CUTE, GOOD LUCK CHARM, and KISS MY CUPCAKE, and my favorite hockey rom-com series ever, PUCKED.


Helena Hunting lives outside of Toronto with her amazing family and her two awesome cats, who think the best place to sleep is her keyboard. Helena writes everything from contemporary romance with all the feels to romantic comedies that will have you laughing until you cry.

๐Ÿ“– About A LOVE CATASTROPHE by Helena Hunting

The fur is about to fly between a cheerful cat sitter and a grumpy hockey nerd in this hilarious and charming rom-com by the New York Times bestselling author of Meet Cute.

Kitty Hart has become internet famous as the Kitty Whisperer for her expertise on all things feline, and as a result, her cat-sitting business is booming. But lately, she has a terrible feeling that maybe her life isnโ€™t quite going where itโ€™s supposed toโ€”especially after falling face-first into her newest client. Not exactly the best first impression.

Fortunately, Miles Thorn is just as bad at first impressions. Strike one: he doesnโ€™t like cats, especially Prince Francis, the haughty and mischievous Sphynx his mom left in his care. Strike two: tackling Kitty to the floor in a misguided attempt to save the pet he continually calls โ€œthe gremlin.โ€

As awkwardness slides into attraction and things start to turn purr-sonal, will these two complete opposites ever be able to find their furry-tail ending?
