This review is for CHARLOTTE REDBIRD: GHOST COACH by Sharon Buchbinder.
After spending years building up her life coaching business in Chicago, Charly is blacklisted after she refuses to lie for a client. Jobless and in need of a fresh start, she travels down to her grandmother’s place in the small town of Cat’s Paw Cove, Florida. Her grandmother is living in a retirement community and the residents are… strange. Cats are everywhere and they seem to dominate the landscape. Which is odd, right? Not so much, as Charly is about to find out. With the help of sexy real estate agent Dylan Graham, Charly discovers she’s surrounded by supernatural beings, ghosts, empaths and more. One surprise after another has Charly not sure of anything anymore. Is she going crazy or has she finally found her calling?
I’m a huge paranormal romance reader and when I heard Sharon Buchbinder had a new release, I inhaled it. I connected with Charly right away. She’s going through a lot and in need of some guidance. Enter Charly’s outgoing, spunky grandmother. With humor, sage advice and a little mystery, she nudges Charly in the right direction. The romance between Charly and Dylan is so sweet. My heart swelled reading their attraction and falling in love. The scenes with the cats were pure magic and I loved every minute of it. When I reached the end, I pouted a little because I wanted to stay in Cat’s Paw Cove longer.
Blending cozy mystery, paranormal romance, cats, ghosts in a quaint small town, Meows and Mistletoe is a must-read. Perfect for the holidays!

My Rating: 5 stars
Welcome to Cat’s Paw Cove. Where magical talking cats make true love happen.
Loved these clean romantic stories. Where ghosts, magic, and talking cats bring lovers together. In one story reincarnated lovers finally find the happily ever after that was denied to their ancestors. In several stories ghosts from the past help bring true love to couples who were destined to be together but needed a little help. In another book a woman’s love brings a cursed gnome back to life to be her true love. And in several other stories couples need to go back in time to break curses in order to get their happily ever after. The cats in these stories were funny, smart, sometimes snarky, and great matchmakers. I received a free copy of this book from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

CHARLOTTE REDBIRD: GHOST COACH by Sharon Buchbinder
Enjoyed this story… We get a secret that should not have happened. We get a life coach Charly who might end up needing a shrink herself when this town is done with her. Thank goodness for the sweet and handsome man Big D.
Funny, Sweet, and a Mystery.
GNOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS by Kristal Hollis

Another cute story with a history dilemma, a trip back in time all for the sake of love…
All of these stories are well written and each are truly enjoyable.
I kind of don’t even know what to say about this book. I’m left wondering how on Earth did I not know about Cat’s Paw Cove sooner? Because this collection of stories was just so much fun. These sweetly romantic stories filled with cats, kittens, and the paranormal took me through the full spectrum of emotions, from laughter to tears. I need to get my hands on the rest of the series now.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
This book is a fun and entertaining collection of short stories in and around a little magical town called Cat’s Paw Cove where cats rule. The stories are well written and take place during the Christmas season. Although many characters have magical or supernatural powers, they exhibit many human qualities for which the reader can identify or relate to.
My favorite story was Charlotte Redbird: Ghost Coach, written by Sharon Buchbinder. Charly, the main character, is a life coach who encounters a confrontational meeting with a highly influential client, Meredith Maddox. Mrs. Maddox then begins spreading slanderous rumors about Charly’s work ethics which cause Charly to lose potential clients, resulting in a loss of financial income. Charly then decides to move to Cat’s Paw Cove, Florida, where her grandmother resides in the charmed Feline Fine Retirement home. Here, Charly not only finds new friends with unique and mystical qualities and learns things about her past, but more importantly finds love. The author writes with lots of dialogue between the characters keeping the reader engaged. It’s a story of trying to move on after a career struggle – staring a new career and making new friends – while also learning about your family history, and finding a new and exciting love. The author’s subtle inclusion of feline rule as well as their companionship and love, is an added bonus to pet lovers of all kinds.
The story is so creative and well written. Add to that each character’s magical powers and supernatural capabilities, and how they relate to one another and the overall tale. It is a charming, lighthearted, story with a touch of playful romance, nestled in a magical town with feline love and mischief.
The entire collection is filled with enjoyable and heartwarming tales. It’s the kind of book you sit down with in front a warm fire with a cup of your hot favorite beverage. So treat yourself, or purchase the book for a friend. It would make the perfect holiday gift for anyone on your list!
