★★★★★ “I absolutely loved this book. It’s one of the best in this genre I’ve read in a long time.”
a real-life heist so absurd, so utterly ridiculous, that I couldn’t resist turning it into a romantic comedy
Finn Carmichael is a Michelin-starred chef who thrives on precision, order, and absolutely zero distractions. Lottie Fairweather is a fearless, fast-talking food critic who’s never met a mystery—or a man—she couldn’t crack wide open.
When 500 porcelain cat figurines vanish from Finn’s restaurant overnight, the crime scene turns into a tabloid sensation—and Finn’s worst nightmare. The last thing he needs is Lottie, London’s most infuriating journalist, sniffing around his kitchen, digging up clues, and flirting just to annoy him.
But as they chase down leads through secret supper clubs, midnight stakeouts, and one particularly disastrous rooftop escape, they realize the truth:
This isn’t just a crime—it’s a cat-and-mouse game they never expected to play.
And somewhere between bickering over five-star soufflés and nearly getting arrested, Finn starts to wonder…
What if the real heist was the one Lottie pulled on his heart?
Perfect for readers who love:
• Opposites attract romance
• Humorous love stories
• A feel-good rom-com
• Quirky characters and witty banter
READER JOY
“This book is a fun romp through misadventure and chaos. Finn and Lottie are completely wrong for each other, yet they couldn’t be more right or perfect. This book could be fleshed out into a longer story, which I’m sure would be could, but as is, it is a fun and chaotic adventure that leads to love and a new lease on life. Lottie does more than steal Finn’s heart while they are chasing missing cat figurines, she steals the entire story.
Absolutely recommended.

THE CAT BURGLAR’S GUIDE TO LOVE is part of award-winning author Mollie Mathews’ Love and Laughter Rom Com series — where hearts collide, love causes chaos, and happily-ever-afters never go according to plan.
Each story can be read as a totally stand-alone romantic adventure (no confusing cliffhangers — and the promise of happily ever afters!). But fair warning: you might just bump into a few familiar faces from other books… because in small towns (and messy love lives), word travels fast.
