The Book

Via Dalton has sworn off men to focus on the two things she loves most: her quirky cat café, Pawsitive Vibes, and the charming town of Pecan Corner, Ohio. But her peaceful world is shaken when Earl Brewster, the owner of the beloved Second Chapter Books next door, passes away. Via is determined to buy the shop and preserve Earl's legacy, but her plans hit a snag in the form of a tall, handsome, and completely unexpected heir.

Leo Brewster's life is thriving in LA, and the last thing he needs is an inheritance in the middle-of-nowhere, Ohio. But the alternative--letting his estranged mother inherit--has him packing his bags to receive the inheritance, quickly sell it off to the highest bidder, and hightail it back to LA. What he didn't count on was the list of stipulations in the will that has him staying in the small town for a month. Oh, and the determined, sunny café owner next door who refuses to let him destroy the town's heart without a fight.

Desperate to convince Leo the bookstore is vital to her community, Via challenges Leo to complete her Autumn Bucket List. As they navigate corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and fall festivals, Leo begins to see the magic in Pecan Corner--and in Via. Despite her vow to stay single and his plan to leave, the attraction between them simmers like hot cider.

Can a season of small-town charm convince a city boy to stay, or will Via lose both the bookstore and her heart?

Grab a warm drink and curl up with this delightful grumpy/sunshine, opposites-attract story of unexpected love and small-town charm.

Book Review

With all the small-town autumn vibes of Gilmore Girls and a story that feels like stepping right into a Hallmark movie, this one truly will make it feel like fall... even if you're reading it in the springtime like I did! Via and Leo get off to a bit of a rough start with him coming to town to claim the inheritance his uncle has left him- a bookstore that she had planned to keep alive to honor its former owner. The stipulation? He has to stay in town for a month. Enter an autumn bucket list and all the fall festivities you would expect in a small town... and of course, an unexpected romance. Like I said, this one truly feels like it could be found in a Hallmark movie... in the best way possible. Still, if you're not a fan of those types of stories... well, this one probably won't be your cup of tea! But if you do love those types of stories, this is a sweet romance that is sure to make you smile! 

Autumn at the Cat Cafe is a kisses only romance with no language.
