Publisher's summary

A rom-com novella that will warm every animal lover’s heart about two neighbors who fight like cats and dogs - but who can’t deny their animal attraction.

Ever since Alana Diaz adopted her cat Furrari, she has found herself in a feud with her infuriating neighbor, whom she knows only by the name on the passive aggressive notes he leaves on her door - R. Jones. Alana works hard all day, and the last thing she needs when she finally relaxes on her balcony with a glass of wine and her new furry roommate is her neighbor’s dog barking his head off. The only solution is to retreat inside. So what if her neighbor has smoldering good looks? It’s ruined when he glares at her little fuzzball of joy for upsetting his dog Kevin. And who the hell names their dog Kevin, anyway?

But when Furrari and Kevin both go missing, Alana and Jones are left with no choice but to team up. As their pets lead them through the beaches, fancy hotels, and more all over Coral Gables, two lonely, jaded people might find they've been chasing the wrong things all along.

Enjoyable listen

I was in a bad mood when I began listening. It was lighthearted and funny and just what I needed! It was short enough to finish in one sitting and made me smile in the meantime. Enjoy!

Quick and sweet

If you just want a quick sweet quirky story about one woman's race alongside a gorgeous man to find their beloved pets that are loose in the city, than this is that story. Quick and to the point. No worries. Good narration as well. Go for it. It is free with unlimited.
