About this item

From a #1 New York Times bestselling author, a sweet romantic novella about two cats who bring a divorced woman together with her handsome neighbor.

Lacey Lancaster always longed to be a wife and mother. However, after a painful divorce, she just wants to lay low in her charming San Francisco apartment with her beautiful Abyssinian cat, Cleo.

Everything would be wonderful if it wasn’t for her impossible neighbor, Jack Walker, who argues day and night with his girlfriend . . . and whose cat, Dog, is determined to get Cleo to succumb to his feline advances. And when Lacey discovers that Cleo’s in the family way, she’s furious that neither Jack nor his amorous animal seems terribly upset about it.

But things aren’t always what they appear. Jack’s “girlfriend” is really his sister—and his intentions toward Lacey are quite honorable (though she’s not sure about Dog). And out of the blue, Lacey is discovering the tender joy of falling in love all over again.

“Debbie Macomber writes characters that are as warm and funny as your best friends.” —Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author

    Both stories were good. Easy to read and interesting. They kept me interested until the end. I always enjoy reading Debbie storys. The new author was good too.

    I love how the cats brought two neighbors together. She didn't want to be involved for she thought he was with another. The second book I wanted to read more of their story. It had me with the characters every step of the way.

    Never read a book that I haven't enjoyed completely. Her stories of Mrs Miracle & the angels sent to earth are fabulously entertaining & inspiring. You can Never go wrong with a Debbie Mac on bed story

    It was nice to read a bit of Debbie's books again since I gave up all my books to our local little free library in our park for others to enjoy. They may be returned again but I'll let others read as well. I think that is the best way for people to get to know authors they may not have been able to read or whatever their story is. I know I've also gotten books I'd never thought to grab and enjoyed them.

    This was an enjoyable story, as all of Debbie Macomber's stories are. I was surprised I had not already read it.

    Family Affair #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber's delightful tale of unexpected love, second chances, and a cat named Dog. Her books are so fun to read. They don't continue with the same characters. She is an exceptional writer. Take a moment and buy one. You'll like it and want more. I have her whole collection and I've gotten my family reading them.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Only part of book is Debbie’s
    Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2024
    I was very disappointed when I was reading the book and it ended half way through the total book. Another person wrote the second book in the book. I wanted Debbie’s. I have read all her Cove series and was looking forward to similar. Luckily, I got it for a cheap rate.
