    About this audiobook

    SHE'S PUTTING HER LOVE LIFE ON PAWS

    Jamie Snyder is thirty-four and single but NOT ready to mingle. After suffering through The Year of the Non-Commital Man, The Year of the Self-Absorbed Man, and The Year of the Forgot-to-Mention-I'm-Married Man, Jamie's ready to celebrate The Year of Me-and MacGyver, of course. MacGyver is an adorable tabby with a not-so-adorable habit of sneaking out at night and stealing things from the neighbors. That's right, MacGyver is a cat burglar. He's still the only male Jamie trusts-and the only companion she needs . . .

    BUT HER CAT HAS OTHER IDEAS

    MacGyver knows his human is lonely. He can smell it. It's the same smell he's noticed on their neighbor David, a handsome young baker who's tired of his friends trying to fix him up. But now MacGyver's on the case. First, he steals something from David and stashes it at Jamie's. Then, he steals something from Jamie and leaves it with David. Before long, the two are swapping stolen goods, trading dating horror stories, and trying not to fall in love. But they're not fooling MacGyver. When humans generate this much heat, the cat is out of the bag . . .

      If you love cats you will love this book. If you love the modern Cinderella stories where the reader sees what the characters don't and you can't turn the pages fast enough to find out if they ever get out of their own way and allow nature to take its course-- Then you will love this story. If you're a reader that simply enjoys a fast read, populated with appealing, believable characters Talk To The Paw will appeal to you.MacGyver is Jamie Snyder's cat. Well, actually he's "the man in her life." She trusts him, confides in him and since swearing off real men as companions, MacGyver is her #1. MacGyver isn't convinced his human is really finished with men...he can smell her loneliness. Whether Jamie is aware of it or not, MacGyver knows his human needs companionship he cannot provide. Surprisingly MacGyver notices their neighbor, David is emanating the same odor as his Jamie. Could it be they are both lonely and are putting off a scent only the cat recognizes?MacGyver (the TV character) might have been a top-notch, can do, can make anything out of anything dude. But Macgyver the cat is a loyal, loving, can do-kind-a-cat that resorts to becoming a cat-burglar to help his human. Jamie's neighbor David recently lost his wife Clarrissa and despite the urging of his friends, simply is not ready to move past his mourning. He has a dog named Diogee that has no clue his human is lonely. MacGyver seems to be the only one, human or pet that recognizes how perfect Jamie and David could be together. All they need is a push. So the cat starts stealing David's laundry...a sock here, a towel there. Jamie figures out who the odd laundry pieces belong too - but sees David as merely a friend. MacGyver is like "what is wrong with these people?" "Why do humans complicate something that comes so very natural in the animal world?"Can Jamie and David see past their personal issues and view the big picture right in front of them? Or are they destined to complicate that which should come about so naturally?MacGyver the cat will quickly win you over. You will be silently cheering for the humans in the story to get as smart as the cat. His loyalty and dedication to Jamie are admirable and positively adorable. Talk To The Paw is a quick read, that keeps you warmly enveloped in the story right up to the very last page.I loved the story. Being a cat lover, with four of the adorable, aloof, highly intelligent fur babies at home, Talk To The Paw had me wondering if they smell my feelings too. (They sure act like it!)Happy Reading,RJ

      This book is so cozy and lovely. I was attracted by the cat on the cover and it was the right choice.
      I really enjoyed the plot, the characters both humans and pets (McGyver is so lovely). It is well written , with interesting characters and a nice plot.
      It is a feel-good book that maintains all the promises.
      Strongly recommended.
      Many thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley
