My Thoughts:
Good, fast Christmas book.  Garrison has come home, but when his grandmother passes away, she leaves him a task to do.  He is hoping to get the job taken care of quickly but grandmother has other ideas.  Each of her 6 cats must be found the perfect home, without relaying to the potential owner of the cat the gift they are to receive with the cat.  
I really liked the part about the cats and the fact that it wasn't a simple task Garrison had to perform.  He had to find the perfect home for each cat, and that wasn't exactly easy.  The problem I had was the romantic element.  It just didn't feel real at all to me, honestly it was a bit forced.  That being said, the story itself was still good and I did enjoy it. This was a 3/5 for me.  Pretty good Christmas read.
