The Nine Lives of Christmas

De: Sheila Roberts

Narrado por: Kathleen McInerney

In The Nine Lives of Christmas by Sheila Roberts, two people are about to discover that when it comes to finding love, sometimes 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-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-but then Ambrose is faced with having to hold up his end of the bargain.

"A warm holiday yarn." -Library Journal

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. Merilee 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.

"Plenty of holiday cheer."

Obvious Ending

This is a cute little book, I wish there were more! The ending was obvious, but the tale is told from a cat's point of view. I liked this one!

A Great Read for the Holidays!!!!

I love the Hallmark movie even though it is nothing like the book!!!! However the book is just as beautiful and I love them both even though are nothing alike!!!!

Sweet storyi

I enjoyed the holiday theme and the descriptive story line. It had all the elements of a Christmas classic. I was happy there was an epilogue.

Refreshing

Loved the story fell in love with Ambrose. A story you can just enjoy. It had it all humor love and just really entertaining

Not a Christmas novel, but a cat story for sure

I agree with those reviewers who have already mentioned that this isn't a Christmas story per se, although some of the most significant moments in the story happen to be related to this celebration. For the most part, this is a novel for cat lovers and for humans who know the beauty and joy of being adopted by one of these felines to become their companions and caregivers.

Adorable!

This story has everything. I laughed and cried, got angry, got overwhelmed then laughed and cried some more.

Romance story with a cute twist

What would have been a typical romance story is told from the point of view of a cat who has to do a good deed to save his ninth life. Cute, enjoyable, well-narrated. An easy listen.

defiantly a different kind of christmas tale

What did you love best about The Nine Lives of Christmas?

I thought that Ambrose was a great touch he has as much part of the story as the humans were

What other book might you compare The Nine Lives of Christmas to and why?

I think it would.be hard.to compare to one book I think its a combination of so many wonderful stories.

What does Kathleen McInerney bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She puts you in the story, keeps you interested with well reading.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I think when this big fireman adopts a cat and slowly starts to care for him you cant help but melt

Any additional comments?

This is definatly a great audio. Listen worth the.listen

Ok but not really a Christmas story

This was an ok story. I love Christmas stories but this was more of a romance than a cat saving Christmas.

Cute for cat lovers.

Cute, light, Christmas Romance. I liked the cat narrative. It added another layer. Worth a listen.
