A LOVE CATASTROPHE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

👋 Helloooo swoon squad!

Welcome to While You Were Reading — a podcast for contemporary romance readers.

I’m your host, best-selling rom-com author Lisa Daily — and every week, I'm bringing you the best contemporary romance novels of 2023. Today on While You Were Reading, we’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. She’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.

Tropes for A LOVE CATASTROPHE

💗 Friends to lovers

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family ties

🐈‍⬛ Cat lovers and dog lovers falling in love

☀️ Grumpy sunshine

💥 Characters stuck in old trauma help each other to move forward

Book Boyfriend Keeper Rating: 5 💍💍💍💍

Note: So many books, so little time! We only review 5-star books we 💗 LOVE💗 on While You Were Reading. The book boyfriend keeper rating is Lisa's ranking based on her experience as a former dating guru on whether or not she would personally date our hero in real life. (If she were single, which she's not.) 😂💙

📖 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 isn’t quite going where it’s supposed to—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 doesn’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 “the gremlin.”

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?

📖 About The Cutting Edge: A steamy hockey romantic comedy by Lisa Daily

A laugh-out-loud hockey romantic comedy perfect for fans of Helena Hunting and Pippa Grant!

Logan Rivers is a star pro hockey player for the St. Pete Slashers -- and he's in a slump.

He hasn’t scored in 3 games and it’s starting to freak him out. Enter Coco, who strikes a deal with an assistant coach to be Logan's lucky charm to pay off her training expenses as an Olympic figure skater. Everything is looking up for both of them.

She’s almost got her debt paid off and the Slashers are on a winning streak. There's only one problem: she doesn’t know how to tell Logan she’s been lying to him the whole time.

If she can just keep her secret until the playoffs are over…

📖 About DANGEROUS CURVES by Mia Augustine

Sometimes the person you're looking for is the one you least expect.

In supermodel Catalina Locatelli’s fury with her father, she finds herself lost in Vegas somewhere off the Strip with no idea how to get back to her hotel. Yes, in the height of her pique, she’s forgotten her cell phone. At first glance, her rescuer-motorcycle-maniac seems like your typical bad boy. He's got the duds, the motorcycle, and the attitude.

Survivalist Persus Phuckzer is stymied by the beauty he stops to assist. Unfortunately, she isn't the only one in need of help.
