The Care Package by Leigh Suznovich

 

Tania Castillo has been making it on her own for most of her life after enduring a whole lot of tragedy. She definitely does not want to get involved with her flirty, gorgeous co-worker Carlo, no matter how charming and funny he is. Workplace romances just get too messy. When disaster strikes though, he's there for her in a way no one ever really has been before, and her walls start to crumble. Can he be the peace she has always been desperately searching for?

 

Carlo Hernandez has been pining for Tania from the moment he saw her walk into their work over a year ago. She politely refused him when he asked her out though, and that was that. Over a year later, she finds herself in a bind that only he can help with. Suddenly, he's living with his dream woman and her mischievous cats. As their relationship heats up and deepens, he hopes to make her his forever roommate.

 

The Care Package is a workplace, roommates to lovers, found family romance with all of the mischievous pet antics, delicious food, and even more delicious spice!

Can Cats be matchmakers? If you ask Gomez and Mort: Yes, they absolutely can! Their mischievousness led Tania to ask Carlo, the last person she wants to bother, for help when she is left homeless because of an unfortunate incident. He can’t even believe that the girl he has liked since he met her will be his roommate. And if he gets his way, she won’t be leaving ever again…in a good way …obviously... 

I really loved their story; it was full of sweet moments, and I’ a sucker for a good F…it moment. I could understand Tanias hesitation to get involved with him because of her previous relationship. But at the same time, I was rooting for Carlos. The twist at the End was unexpected, but welcome. 

The Care Package was my first read from Leigh Suznovich, and it won’t be the last one. I liked her writing style, and I also liked the fact that they didn’t have fancy jobs like you see them in most of the books, but were down to earth, realistic jobs who often don’t get to make it in books due to being considered “boring”.
