Synopsis
In this Christmas tale, two people are about to discover that when it comes to finding love, Christmas magic isn't enough . . . sometimes it takes a pesky orange cat named Ambrose
When a guy is in trouble, he starts making deals with his Creator . . . and Ambrose the cat is no exception. In danger of losing his ninth and final life, Ambrose makes a desperate plea to the universe. He'll do anything if he can just survive and enjoy a nice long, final life. His prayer is answered when a stranger comes along and saves him-and now it looks like he has to hold up his end of the bargain.
The stranger turns out to be a firefighter named Zach, who's in need of some serious romantic help. If Ambrose can just bring Zach together with Merilee, the nice lady who works at Pet Palace, it's bound to earn him a healthy ninth life. Unfortunately for Ambrose, his mission is a lot harder than he ever thought. Meriliee is way too shy to make the first move on a ladies man like Zach, and Zach thinks he's all wrong for a nice girl like Merilee. Now it's going to take all of Ambrose's feline wiles-and maybe even a good old fashioned Christmas miracle-to make them both realize that what they're looking for is right in front of their eyes.

What most attracted me to this book was that the book was from the point of view of a cat. I adore cats, they are just so cute, and often hilarious, as documented by the many GIFs found online! This book seemed unique so I couldn't wait to dive in.
This book isn’t just from the sole voice of Ambrose the cat. You also get viewpoints from Zach, Ambrose’s saviour and also Merilee, a cat lover who Ambrose plans to set up with Zach as his good deed, in exchange for Zach saving his life against a vicious dog.
I thought this book was written very well from all characters. Ambrose was so hilarious, obviously being a cat he has a very different outlook on life from humans which makes for many giggles. His quips about dogs and some of his thoughts on human actions etc was really fun to read. The whole gift scene was one of the stand outs for me! Zach and Merilee’s viewpoints helped move the story along, and seeing how each of them reacted to the situations they were put in, mainly by Ambrose made this book even better.
Zach seemed genuinely a sweet bloke, despite the hardened exterior I felt he sometimes put on. I have no idea what he ever saw in Blair (or ‘Blair Baby’ as Ambrose knows her). She was really unair to Ambrose, and even excluding that, she seemed really snobby and stuck up, thankfully Ambrose saw through her! His kindness also shone throughout the book, the way he helps Ambrose, and Merilee when they are both in trouble. Really sweet and touching.
This goes perfect with Merilee who is adorable, and I found myself willing Ambrose to succeed in his task from the instant the two met.
This book has charm in bundles. It is funny, romantic, the perfect book for cosying up infront of the fire! The book says that it is perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, and I couldn’t agree more, it creates the same lovely warm feeling you get from her books! It just makes you want to go ‘Awwwwwe’ at the end!

Want to wind down after a long day of Christmas shopping with
a good book and a glass of Christmassy goodness?
a good book and a glass of Christmassy goodness?
Well this book suits the Christmas classic 'Mulled Wine' perfectly! It makes you feel warm and cosy, and the gentle spiced warmth of the mulled wine echoes that perfectly. I used a wine from Beaujolais in France, which is mega fruity as well. Absolutely Amazing! I used the recipe from Schwarz and used their sachets, and it was sooo nice, I did chuck in a couple of extra cinnamon sticks in as well though. It went far too quickly, maybe we need 2 bottles of wine next time :)
