Best Laid Plans (Garnet Run #2)

Leigh says: Inheriting a house from the grandfather Rye never met seems like a chance for him to start over, except for the fact that it’s falling down. When Rye comes into the hardware store for tools and supplies, Charlie can’t help but offer his handyman services to him. If you told me Roan Parrish peered inside my heart and brain and then wrote this contemporary romance just for me, I’d believe you. It has characters that made me emotional, laugh out loud moments to balance out the tears, and stellar cat content. Charlie and his cat Jane have a whole morning ritual; Marmot regularly lays on Rye’s shoulders. The cats are stress relievers but also sources of joy and hilarity. Marmot and Jane quickly befriend each other. And to keep this theme going, Rye is basically a feral cat himself since he’s been fending for himself for years. If you want to see what Rye’s inherited house becomes, make sure you read the novella Shelter in Garnet Run. (Open door.)
