A Purrfect Gift Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 508 ratings

A festive lesbian romance featuring a matchmaking cat.

Lena has just moved to a new city with her cat, Scully, so when she finds little gifts on her doorstep every day, she thinks they're from her neighbors.

Caroline, who lives next door, can't figure out how her stuff keeps disappearing until she catches a cat in the act of stealing from her. She follows the feline felon home—and meets its cute owner.

Despite Lena's best efforts, Scully doesn't seem inclined to give up her life of crime, so she keeps having to go over to Caroline's to return the loot.

Soon, neither woman minds the cat burglary anymore. Is it possible that her thieving cat gave Lena the purrfect gift for Christmas?

Contains mature themes.

    Wonderful story of Scully’s thieving ways that brought Caro and Lena on their journey to each other. Scully is the cat who’s the master thief. Strong, well developed characters and a lovely story of second chances. A very good read. I heartily, enthusiastically, and unequivocally recommend this and all of Jae’s works. Her writing style pulls you in and allows you to see thoughts and the landscape of loving relationships. Thank you. Peace

    A little different as it has a definite german slant in language and cities and style, but it was fun and light and romantic. I enjoyed it and only fell out of the story when i stumbled over the complicated german words. Still it sounded lovely and a fondue Xmas sounds wonderful. Scully was super fun and a true matchmaker.

    Lena has just moved to Freiburg, and is delighted when she keeps finding little Secret Santa-esque gifts at her door. It turns out her cat Scully is responsible for this mischief though, because all the "gifts" belong to her neighbor Caroline. But maybe Scully has matchmaking in mind....

    The premise is a little silly, but the tone is light rather than funny overall. A sweet closed door sapphic romance. There isn't much here to analyze, as the story is charmingly short. It has just a touch of holiday cheer, friendship, and romance.

    Lena has just moved to town and she meets her neighbor Caroline. The plot of the story revolves around me in this cat who steals things from Caroline’s apartment. I found this a truly lovely and heartwarming story about two people who find love as a result of a cat. I recommend this book for all romance readers.

    This is a fun little story anytime but especially perfect for the weeks before Christmas. Two recovering but lonely women, one scheming cat, and a lot of humor and sweetness. Pick up this novella for a preChristmas read, you can't go wrong.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A heartwarming clean holiday romance
    Reviewed in Canada on December 19, 2023
    I liked reading about Lena and Caroline as Lena's cat Scully seemed determined to put them together. I can relate to having a cat like Scully, I have a cat who likes to play and carry around human clothing items herself. I highly recommend this novella to people wanting a clean holiday romance and cat lovers everywhere!

    I got this book as a freebie from Jae. Taken me a while to pick it up, and I'm glad I did.

    Forgive me but I'm a dog person but I fell in love with Scully.
    Best match maker ever.
    Her antics kept me laughing throughout.

    Great and easy read.
    Enjoy!

    A sweet story of a thieving cat, a chance meeting, and all in the quaint setting of the same town as Paper Love. What’s not to love? Oh and it’s set at Christmas! This will warm you up like a cup of hot chocolate by the fireplace snuggled in a fuzzy blanket with an adorable cat and your lady love. Enjoy!
