About the Book
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Christmas used to be the happiest time of the year in the big house on the hill. But this year when the clock strikes midnight on Christmas Day, it will all be over. Can Sebastian, a wily Maine Coon cat, find a way to bring his people back home or will this holiday be their last?
Previously published as "Home for the Holidays" in Penguin Berkley's anthology "The Christmas Cat."
My Review
A young family is about to have the worst Christmas of their lives, but their Maine Coon kitty, Sebastian, has no intentions of letting that happen. He will do whatever it takes to bring his family together again.
The characters are realistic and people you can truly care about. The setting of a small town is perfect for the holidays. Some of the book is told from Sebastian's point of view, but not much. Mostly it's the humans remembering happier times and trying to get through the present Christmas.
I haven’t read a Barbara Bretton book in years, but she was always one of my favorite romance authors. This novella reminded me of what a great writer she is. This book has it all. It’s poignant and the perfect holiday read. I can easily see this book being a Christmas traditional read. It’s a sweet and touching tale.

The Year the Cat Saved Christmas sounds like the ideal holiday read! Sebastian the Maine Coon seems like such a charming character. The small-town setting and heartfelt storyline really make it perfect for the season. I love small-town romances! Thanks for sharing your review!
