Sheila Roberts The Nine Lives of Christmas Blog Tour with Review

The Nine Lives of Christmas [Hardcover]


Product Description

Bestselling author Sheila Roberts brings us a humorous, heartwarming Christmas novel about a matchmaking cat who brings a couple together just in time for the holidays.

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. He’ll do anything — 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 fire fighter named Zach, the quintessential commitment- phobe 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 anticipated. Now it’s going to take all his feline wiles — and a healthy dose of Christmas magic — to bring them all together in time for the holidays.

My Review:

This was a very charming and heartwarming Christmas book featuring Ambrose a matchmaking cat.  He's in a dangerous situation stuck on a branch with a cat hungry dog wanting him for a snack.  He makes a deal with God he would do anything to be able to live his ninth life the last one.  Zach is a huge and hunky firefighter who comes to his rescue and now Ambrose has adopted him as his new owner.

Ambrose uses his matchmaking skills to bring Zach and Merilee together but it's not an easy road.

I highly recommend this book to any cat lovers or anyone that loves a fast and easy read with charming characters and some not so charming characters.

4/5
