Book Blurb:
It was raining cats and dogs!
Pets seemed to inhabit every corner of Arley's apartment building, even though the low-rise had a strict no-pets policy. And that forced Arley to do something she'd never done before--LIE. But it was also the first time she'd rescued two abandoned kittens and smuggled them into her home.
Now the other tenants--who'd formed a pet underground dedicated to keeping their animals secret from Ben Travis, the building's sexy owner--wanted her to convince Ben to change the rule. Arley knew that would be like a mouse trying to bell a cat, but she had to make the attempt. Even if her deception meant risking a more personal relationship with Ben...
This is one of those short romances that you can't help but love. Arley bumbles around while trying to hide the fact that she has 2 kittens from the owner, Ben Travis. The fact that he's a hottie, and all the women want him make things worse.
Oh and he's the guy that made the strict no pets policy.
I found it hysterical that there was a pet underground with the tenants, because when it comes to pet rules, most renters don't have a say with that sort of thing. The fact that this was such a huge issue in this book made it almost laughable at times.
Just about everyone in the building is hiding a pet!
Seriously?
I have to admit that after the pet ownership comes out in the open, things get really funny between Arley and Ben, and when a not so little "Rags" joins them, it gets funnier.
It isn't very realistic, but it makes for a sweet romance, if it is a little kooky at times.
This is a Harlequin Romance from the early 90s and it felt really dated to me.
