A cat playing matchmaker is a new one for me! But, honestly, the cat who has multiple names visits several people in the community and provides friendship. There's quite a bit of angst and sadness in this book but there's also romance and hope. I enjoyed this book and the characters a lot.

I really liked the chemistry between Lara and Theo. I would have liked to see more interaction between them and maybe a little less of the day to day with Lara and Betsy. I disliked Siobhan from the beginning. I felt like she took her friendship with Lara for granted and Just her flippant attitude "I know," Siobhan said. "I'm sorry, Lara. I do hope it doesn't come between us--' I was flabbergasted by this. She cheated with her best friends boyfriend and then told her the reason she hadn't said anything was because she just knew Lara was going to take it badly. How is it meant to be taken? I mean I feel personally I would take something like this much better if my friend came to me and said she has fallen for the person I am seeing. Then i could evaluate the relationship and not have the devastation of being dumped and then finding out my best friend was going behind my back. I felt that Lara took quite a few hits in this book. Siobhan was not at all nice to her, Theo couldn't figure out what he had said and why asking if the baby is his was the wrong thing to say. There was no trust. I felt like if we had had a little more time to get to know these characters and they had had more time to do the same then things would have gone just a little differently, but in the end you still need that big falling out in order to express true love. I enjoyed the book it was just a frustrating read and I found it difficult to really like or relate to any of the characters.

This sounded like an absolutely brilliant premise for a book (and no cat lover would ever be able to resist); however, for me, it fell short of the mark.

Lara came across as a pathetic little girl - despite trying to get her life back on track, everything seemed to revolve around how other people perceived her, or her relationship status. As a result, I just couldn't warm to her.

Not enough was made of the relationship between her and the cat - it therefore felt more like a hook to get people to read, but in the end was just a standard RomCom that featured the occasional mention of a cat.

Equally, the relationship between Lara and Theo was so over the top. One minute they hated each other (why?), the next they were madly in love (why? and more importantly how?) after spending one night together, then they argue over nothing and … yeah, it just didn't make any sense at all.

I can see how this would appeal to a certain audience, and it definitely has a place, but I'm sorry to say it just didn't do anything for me.

Very cute romance novel! It felt very different from some of the others I have read. The characters are cute together, and the progression of their relationship was believable. I would recommend!

After the worst night of her life, getting dumped by her boyfriend, and finding out he is dating her best friend, Lara heads home crushed. Hearing a noise she opens the door and finds a cat, who she takes in and gets comfort from. While looking for the cat later, she meets a man on the street who is looking for his cat too. Needless to say it is the same cat. Fun story, and hard to put down. Enjoyed this one a lot. Highly recommend this book and author.

It was a super cute read and the premise of them sharing a cat was hilarious! It was super enjoyable and quick and I definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a cute romance!

A different kind of read for me as I'm not the biggest fan of cats but this was a really fun and lighthearted novel that I couldn't resist reading! The characters were enjoyable and relatable and I liked the storyline.

This book is a very meet cute fluff type of romance. It really is a romance book for cat lovers. It is the typical romance book that is fluffy, a bit unrealistic but it makes you feel warm inside.

Imagine finding love thanks to a cat? If you love cats, cute fluffy romance and a short book, i think you will enjoy this book.

Fluffy the cat walks into Lara’s life on the night her boyfriend dumps her for her best friend. As Lara is recovering from the break up, she meets Theo who she accuses of trying to steal Fluffy, but Theo thinks that the cat belongs to him. As they battle one another for the cat’s affections they realise they have a mutual attraction to each other. Can the cat bring them closer together?

A good, lighthearted book which was an easy and enjoyable read.

so this was super hard for me to finish... this isn't a bad book per se, it just wasn't for me. i'm so in the mood for romance that its just a shame that the last ones i've read aren't hitting the mark.

this novel is supposed to be about a girl and a boy who get together in a sort of enemies to lovers because they own the same cat, which i thought it was amazing at first but the execution isn't quite well. most of the plot of the book has little to do with the cat and their relationship and more about her ex boyfriend and ex bestfriend, her bussiness and her life in general, which isn't that bad but not really what i signed for.

honestly i was so tempted on dnfing this book but i didn't. the narration style was quite good, not gonna lie, but besides that i found it meh. the plot moved way too slow yet the realtionship of the two main characters moved way too fast and there wasn't much development, it was a slow burn withouth the burn.

i didn't believe the romance nor did i care for it, the conflict was super innecesary too. i felt like it had so much potencial, i don't know. i just didn't connect with it. betsy (lara's assistant) was my favorite character and even her didn't got much development.

i think this book would be good for people who like weddings (because there are a lot of them).its similar in that sense to 27 dresses (which is my favorite romance movie of all times) and maybe on the part that the love interest is also on the wedding industry, sort of. this just wasn't for me although i can see why some other readers might enjoy it.

Loved it. I must say it took me a little longer to get into it but once I got to 20% it flowed very easily I dont know if that's just me but I loved it. We have a very loved cat called cupid and two ownsers who hate each other, lara who is a wedding coordinator and theo a musician but they have an attraction yet cant stand each other.
Lara is busy every single day but shes recovering from the ex and her best friend... whilst recovering meets theo, their attraction is noticeable but not to each other so they keep bumping into each other. One day they are both upset when cupid is hit by a car.. poor kitty but does he bring the two together, can they workout their differences and be friends?
I loved lara and theo and their chemistry. I hated lucien but who would like a pig like that. The setting in Chester was pleasant and sounded like bliss by the river. Fay, her mother is a bit problematic but a helpful mother.
I loved it. Really enjoyable read.

The premise behind "A Cat Called Cupid" is that two singles meet when both claiming that a "stray" cat belongs to them. I thought there were many cute (mainly cat-focused) moments in this book, but the characters and romance were not as enjoyable as I had hoped. Overall, it is a very cute idea for a romance novel.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I’m a fan of Tilly Tennant so I was delighted to be approved for this book. It’s a really fun read and I think any cat lover will adore this book. It’s a great little escapist read.

Such a sweet and comforting read, perfect for curling up with on a cold, wet day. I’m not a cat lover but this cat called Cupid (Flufffy to begin) won me over. He plays a key role in events and is definitely a key character!
Lara is a very relatable character who reacts in a realistic way to the ups and downs and misunderstandings she faces in life and relationships.
I really enjoyed this book and I’ll be buying as a gift for a cat lover friend!

"A Cat Called Cupid" could be described as a cozy romance. Is that a genre? It is now! We are immediately introduced to Lara who gets dumped by her boyfriend of whom she saw a future with and then gets a double slap in the face when she finds out he's been going behind her back with her best friend. Poor Lara! Lara decided to start a new life for herself and opens up a wedding planning business and finds herself a stray cat. Only this cat likes to wander the neighborhood, leaving a fellow handsome neighbor to believe he is also the cat's owner. Lara and Theo start off as enemies, but follow the romance trope of enemies to lovers.

The book was cute and overall moved along nicely. I felt the characters themselves weren't too deep and I felt some sections of the book (especially with the secondary characters) really were a bit pointless and bit of "filler". Did I need half a chapter of Lara talking about her sweaty feet in sandals? Probably not. Lara's mother Fay kept bringing up her past relationship to the point of exhaustion. Her business assistant Betsy was a perky, fun girl who stumbles into her own "problem" of which I thought Fay's reaction to was a bit old fashioned.

This would be a good book to read as a palate cleanser between books with "heavier" subject matter or if you are just a fan of light romance in general. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this review in exchange for an honest opinion.

2/5 stars

The premise for the book was really cute. Two people that are joined together by a cat that they both think it's theirs. When I read this I knew I had to get my hands on the book. Sadly, it was a bit disappointing to me, since I didn't particularly like any character and even the romance wasn't my cup of tea. Lara's and Theo's romance takes off too quickly and it gets serious insanely fast (like one or two days). It didn't feel realistic at all. I don't mind some unrealistic aspects in a romance novel, but this one was too much for me.
If you don't mind the "enemies" to lovers trope to happen really quickly I think you'll enjoy this book.

I absolutely loved this book and couldn't put it down. Tilly Tennant books always warm my heart and always give me a giggle too.
With the wedding planning topic I think it would make a great movie. I loved the relationships and friendships and also the disagreements. It made me happy, sad and annoyed at times too.
The main characters are Lara and Theo, and a great supporting cast of characters in this story, some likeable, some not so much.
Siobhan, Lara’s best friend since schooldays, has let her down in the worst possible way. It’s actually a blessing in disguise but Lara just doesn’t realise it yet.
Lucien is Lara’s ex, a self-centred label-loving posh boy who loved himself. Not a nice person and his snooty parents looked down on everyone. Lara is certainly well rid of him.
Fay, Lara’s mum. Totally tactless, clumsy and a bit of a hoarder. She made me laugh though.
After her break up with Lucien, Lara escapes her mundane job and sets up an office in a summer house in her garden doing her dream job as a wedding planner. She takes on Betsy, a keen 18 year old apprentice. I liked their relationship, built on coffee, muffins and a love of all things wedding-related. Just reading about the garden, watching the cat sunning himself on the patio, watching the bees buzz around their nest took me right there in the lovely summer sunshine.
The cat was the centre of the story. He brought it all together. He was why Lara and Theo had a chance meeting whilst they were both out searching for him.
The different weddings Lara worked on threw up some comical scenes, and Theo was a member of the live band that performed at some of the venues. Some awkward moments between the two of them, and getting the wrong end of the stick, causing Lara to unleash her quick temper.
Another lovely, heart-warming story by Tilly Tennant. A pleasure to read.
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the review copy in which I give my honest opinion.

Funny, sad and happiness is how I would describe this book. About Lara, having been dumped by her boyfriend, and finding out her best friend is also his girlfriend who he’s dumped her for, one night let’s in a cat, who after a while goes wandering at night and she goes out at night to find him. She bumps into a stranger who says the cat is his, unfortunately she doesn’t find her cat. She’s set up her own wedding business. Where on one booking, she bumps into this stranger again.
As time goes on, they meet again, but with misunderstandings things don’t go to plan. With her past relationship still causing these and other matters they don’t meet up until something happens to the cat, and then alls good. They decide to call the cat Cupid instead of their individual names.

Lara is devastated that her boyfriend is leaving her for her best friend and when she gets home tearful and upset who should walk into,her life but a wet, hungry cat that she names Fluffy. Lara falls hopelessly in love with Fluffy but the cat is also getting food and comfort at Theo's house. Lara walks the streets on a night worrying when the cat is missing and Theo is doing the same - neither realising initially that they are looking after the same cat.

Lara starts her own wedding planning business In a summer house in her garden and I loved reading about the weddings she attended. She is a likeable character whose mouth often goes before her brain getting her into all kinds of trouble especially with Theo. Beth is her eighteen year old assistant keen to learn the business.. Theo, her neighbour, is also part of a band who plays at one of the wedding.s she is organising.

This is a lovely easy read romantic story with lots of laughs. The only part I found frustrating was when the story suddenly jumped a year but although the ending was very predictable I found I just couldn't stop reading.

I can't pass a book by that is either about a cat or has a cat on the cover. I'm a sucker every time. Plus I happen to have a long haired gray and white kitty named Fluffy ( I know we were very creative when naming him.) So how could I pass up a book where the main kitty was also named Fluffy, plus a lot of other names which were ridiculous. Fluffy was a perfect name, Cupid not so much.

I definitely enjoyed the book. It was a cute story. If Lara didn't want her cat running around at night, why didn't she make him a house cat? Siobhan and Lucien deserve each other. He was a horrible person and his parents would most likely be the worst people to have as in-laws. I would have loved to know how everything turned out for him. A year after their break-up, I wasn't sure why Lara allowed Lucien to get under her skin. She knew what type of man he was, so why bother getting upset. The last chapter of the book confused me at first, because I didn't realized it fast-forwarded a year.

Definitely recommend the book, especially if you enjoyed the author's previous books or if you love cats. I LOVED the cover. Look forward to reading more books by the author.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bookouture through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
