Happy Cat Box Set: Five Laugh Out Loud Rom Coms
D**R
The Happy Box Set is finally here! (and Savannah's story)
HOSED:Oh em gee. This book had me cracking up from the first page. It's one of the funniest books I've read and I cannot recommend it enough for fans of silly, lighthearted romantic comedies. Be prepared for an awesome animal "sidekick", a colorful cast of characters, experimental sex toys, dildo football, and a sweet and scorching second chance love story!Cassie is called in to take over her sister’s adult toy factory after Savannah runs off to England. (I mean, I would too if I caught my SO having a bit too much fun with the local farm animals..) However, her new next door neighbor is none other than Ryan O’Dell, the man who broke her heart in high school. He’s all grown up, hotter than ever, and a firefighter to boot. He also has a pet racoon named George Cooney, who tends to announce himself in the wildest way possible.With a touch of suspense and loads of over-the-top situations, this is a great entry into the Happy Cat series and still one of my favorite books ever!HAMMERED:More Happy Cat shenanigans!Olivia is one of the sweetest people in Happy Cat. She’s cheerful and positive. Her attitude and beliefs fall squarely on the side of New Age, spreading love and good vibes where she can. She loves working for her friend’s adult toy factory. And.. she loves Jace O’Dell, the town bad boy.Jace is constantly running afoul of the law. He has a rather tumultuous relationship with the town’s beloved kindergarten teacher, Ginger. They’ve been off and on again so many times that it leaves heads spinning. And.. he is drawn to Olivia, despite feeling that he’s not good enough for her.Olivia is sure that a good heart beats in Jace’s chest, so when he and Ginger split up again she jumps at the chance to make him hers. One hot night later, and everything seems to be coming together nicely. But Ginger shows up the next morning with devastating news – she’s pregnant and Jace’s the father. Jace reluctantly agrees to marry Ginger because he wants to do the honorable thing for the baby.Olivia is completely certain that Jace is her soul mate, and she refuses to let the scheming Ginger have her man. So, with a little help from a friend, she hatches a plan to kidnap Jace before he can make the biggest mistake of BOTH their lives.As always, the cast of colorful characters flesh out the small town. A jealous deputy hell bent on harassing Jace. Princess, Olivia's overly affectionate pet hedgehog. And of course, George Cooney, the pet raccoon from Hosed, plays a large role.I love the people (and animals) of Happy Cat, and I look forward to reading further entries in the series. Definitely a fantastic read!HITCHED:Blake O’Dell has a tiny little problem.Well, make that a BIG problem.Hope St. Clair, the woman he has a love/hate relationship with, has just begged him for a favor. She needs to get married IMMEDIATELY to fulfill the terms of her grandmother’s will, otherwise her jerk of a cousin will be able to claim her inheritance right out from under her. The inheritance that is her beloved animal shelter, and includes her favorite animal, Chewpaca the alpaca. Her cousin just wants to use Chewie as a stud and doesn’t care about taking him away from the place he’s called home for so long.Hope asks Blake to marry her just long enough secure Chewie and the shelter, and offers to help him get the permits he needs for his winery and tasting room. Sounds like a good deal, right? Maybe if Hope wasn’t already his ex-wife…A quickie Vegas wedding (and even quicker annulment) have made Blake a little bitter, but he can’t say no to the woman he still cares for. But the promise of another quick divorce doesn’t come to pass as Hope’s cousin had also married that same day, within minutes of their wedding – so now the game is on to prove that Hope and Blake really did marry for love. A fiction which Blake is coming to believe could and should be the truth after all.There are plenty of obstacles in the way; meddling in-laws, a sleazy private investigator, fear of commitment, matchmaking old folks, alpaca-napping, a troublemaking pet raccoon, adult toys, explosive auras, and maybe, just maybe, finding out they’re meant to be Hitched after all.This is a worthy entry in the Happy Cat series. It’s funny, but at the same time so sweet when Blake becomes determined to win his wife over for good. Hope’s love of animals is fantastic too and leads to some pretty hilarious moments (goat yoga, really?). If you liked the other books in the series, you can be confident that you’ll enjoy this one too.HUMBUGGED:Clint O’Dell doesn’t look up to book boyfriends, book boyfriends look up to Clint O’Dell!Humbugged is the fourth entry in Pippa Grant & Lili Valente’s Happy Cat series, and I think it may be my favorite so far. It’s light and happy, sweet and swoony, with just the right amount of heat.Clint O’Dell, hometown hero – AND hometown Hottie (as acknowledged by most of Happy Cat, anyway) – has come home to be a temporary Marine recruiter. Noelle Alwyn, nursing a broken heart when her mall-Santa boyfriend of two years dumps her unexpectedly, finds herself the owner of a defunct flower shop (hey, we all know alcohol can lead to some of the worst.. or best.. decisions ever!) in Happy Cat. Leaving her life behind, she uses the shop to open a cupcake bakery.Clint is just amazing. He’s definitely a military man, but unlike some others I’ve read, he’s rarely broody or grumpy. He’s a prankster, optimistic and loves to have fun. He’s had a crush on Noelle since he met her and is absolutely determined to take some of the sadness from her eyes, preferably by getting her in his bed. Or in his brother’s barn. Or, really, anywhere she’s willing. He’s hell bent on protecting her, whether it be from an angry Christmas goose or from herself.Noelle’s father is a military man, and while she loves and respects him she absolutely does not want to be pulled back into that life. Plus, as hot as Clint is, he’s 7 years younger. She’s certain if they get involved that he’ll break her heart when he leaves. Add in that someone or something has it out for her bakery and the fact that her ex left her a bit sour on the whole Christmas thing and that’s all she needs to decide to keep her walls up. But when Clint offers her a chance to try being friends with benefits until the new year, giving into her attraction suddenly seems like a great idea. But what do you do when both parties are suddenly in quiet agreement that maybe this relationship doesn’t need an expiration date?I love the Happy Cat series, and this one is no exception. The town’s residents are up to their usual shenanigans – who knew senior citizens like to make naughty gingerbread cookies? I loved that Clint was turned into a meme by his friends and family; as a computer nerd that bit of pop culture made my heart happy. And yes, I agree that Clint O’Dell could beat Chuck Norris..The animals are a joy, as always. A lost reindeer (who may or may not be one of Santa’s) who proves that Clint can do everything, including be a reindeer whisperer; George Cooney and his family, everyone’s favorite trash pandas; Princess the Hedgehog, and of course Nutquacker the Christmas Goose all join in to make Humbugged a very merry time.Expect to laugh and swoon all the way through this one. If you love holiday romances, or need something light and fluffy, I can’t recommend this enough!HAPPILY EVER AFTERED:THANK YOU PIPPA AND LILI. This novella is exclusive to the box set and gives us the story of Savannah and Colin. For 3 years, Savannah has been nanny to Beatrice – and she can’t pretend that she isn’t in love with Bea’s dad…her boss…Colin. Stuffed shirt, VERY British, and with a soft, loving core most people don’t see.After one too many “almost” moments, Savannah knows Colin isn’t going to make a move, so she goes running home to Happy Cat to start over one more time. What she didn’t expect is for Colin and Bea to come running after her! A wacky treasure hunt and tons of misunderstandings are the order of the day, along with appearances from all the previous couples, their pets, and some of the more colorful characters of Happy Cat. Van and Colin’s HEA was well-deserved and the usual mix of sweet, funny and sexy.I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review. I loved these books so much I even bought the set.

The best series full of sweet, hilarious, swoony novels
This box set includes four sweet sexy novels all with a side of slight danger and mystery plus one bonus novellas. The stories are based in the quirky town of Happy Cat that’s home to a sex toy factory and a lovable bunch of townspeople and bizarre collection of animals who seem almost human. All of these hilarious romances have a little bit of everything - sweet moments, fan your face steam, painful pasts, strong friendships, crazy families, quirky town folks, snort worthy moments, cute animals, and so much love. While the books are quite funny, they also have three dimensional characters, witty dialogue and engaging storylines. These books are also for all the men and women that think they are too big a disaster for, or too weird, and are inherently unworthy of beautiful, sweet, fairytale love.HosedCassie is a video game designer virgin who is temporarily running her sister’s sex toys factory in her hometown. Ryan is a firefighter and Cassie’s neighbor while she’s staying at her sisters house. Ryan and Cassie knew each other in HS and he hurt her feelings at the time. Cassie is just trying to keep the factory running until her sister returns but someone seems to be sabotaging things.HammeredJace owns a bar in town and has had an on again off again relationship with Ginger, a kindergarten teacher, since HS. He also believes he’s the screw up in his family and doesn’t deserve nice things. Olivia is a tree hugging woo woo daughter of a hippy who knows people think she’s a joke but she believes in the goodness of everything. One evening when Jace is single, he and Olivia have a magical night together. But their hopes for an HEA are dashed when Ginger tells Jace the next day that she’s pregnant and he feels he needs to do the right thing.HitchedBlake owns a vineyard in town and while waiting for his tasting license he been working odd jobs including fixing all the electronics Hope seems to short out. Hope owns an animal rescue farm full of abandoned animals and one prize winning alpaca. Blake and Hope seem to have a hate-hate relationship with each other that also includes a secret previous marriage. In order to keep the alpaca safe from being inherited by Hope’s money grubbing cousin, Hope needs a husband and Blake agrees to marry her again. But this time he’s planning on keeping her even if she doesn’t know it yet.HumbuggedNoelle has been running Second Chance Cupcakes in the quirky town of Happy Cat since mid-summer. She has been plagued by various baking disasters since she opened. Clint is the youngest O’Dell brother and a marine. He’s currently stationed in Happy Cat near his family while working as a recruiter. He’s interested in Noelle but as the daughter of a marine, she has no interest in a relationship with a one. But maybe a fling while they figure out what’s going on with her bakery would be okay.Happily Ever AfteredSavannah, Cassie’s sister and the original owner of the sex toy factory gets her HEA in this novella. She’s been in England working as a nanny to Beatrice but she realizes she loves her employer and resigns. She arrives in Happy Cat in time for Happy Cat’s Spring Treasure Hunt for Love. She thinks she needs to win so she can find love. But Collin follows Savannah to America because he’s in love with her. They work on their HEA while they follow the clues around the quirky town aided by the townspeople and the many animals.I loved all things Happy Cat and am sad to see the series end. Too bad there’s not a way to visit my favorite fictional towns.

Great series
HosedIn a town full of nosy gossips Cassie finds herself in charge of her sisters somewhat controversial adult toys factory. Add a mishap involving lube and we meet Ryan, a firefighter and who happens to be Cassies childhood crush and next door neighbour.Hilarious antics, adult toy sports and the cutest “non” mans best friend you will ever meet and Cassie finds herself in a whole heap of trouble. Good thing Ryan is on hand to lend a helping hand.Great light hearted read that will have you head over heels for a certain gorgeous firefighter.HammeredHold on to your hats book lovers, there’s a new aura cleansing, animal loving , moon bathing heroine in town and she drives a Vespa. Welcome back to Happy Cat where the inhabitants make for an interesting read.Add a miserable groom(not intended for our Olivia) who in his mind thinks he’s doing the right thing, an ex/on again Baby mama and why not spice it up with a crooked cop, Interfering family members, and Wham its wedding Interruptus. The second book in the series is full of quirky characters. Jace and Olivia will have you entertained from the beginning, after all he is her Kindred, mmmmm, Partner.HitchedOh boy, oh Man, o’Dell yes please. Another adventure awaits those all aboard the crazy train bound for Happy Cat, where the only thing weirder than the old folks playing bingo with phallic prizes is Hope and her sizzling personality.Blake is the quintessential happy ever After and Hope is the one that believes she’s destined to be unlovable. As we know all that can change at any moment, with the help of an Alpaca, who is in trouble , and an O’Dell who loves this sleep walking beauty and secretly would love nothing less than to remain married to her. Her ability to make things spark is just an added bonus in this hilarious return to Happy Cat.Blake and Hope’s love was after all written in the sparksHumbuggedOh ho ho holy ghostly shapes in flour and a hot marine. What a wonderfully delightful heart grabbing read.My expectations were once again met in the return to Happy Cat and it’s zany inhabitants. Noelle and Clint, Nutqacker and the O’Dell family leave you in stitches. Noelle tries really hard not to fall for Clint and she herself was in a marine family and did not want that specific life. Add to the fact he is a bit younger but fate has other ideas and it’s Clint to the rescue time and time again. Add the funny town memes and Noelle cant resist him.Hard to put down as Clint pulls at the heartstrings and makes you believe in love ever after.Happily ever AfteredAnd we’re back to the Happy Cat shenanigans. The start of the annual treasure hunt for love and the crazy towns folk are once again causing havoc.Colin having realised his true feelings for Savannah albeit a tad to late has brought his daughter across the pond in search for his love and gets tangled up in the hunt. With the help of some lovable characters from the previous books hilarity ensues.Great end to the series
