Purchase options and add-ons

I didn't mean to kidnap the groom.

It was an accident.

Mostly...

At least I didn't take much time to plan it. It was more of a spur of the moment kidnapping. Does that count?

One minute, the town's bad boy is standing at the altar about to marry the world's most evil kindergarten teacher. The next, he's passed out in my Vespa sidecar with his bride hot on our tail.

But I didn't have a choice! I couldn't stand by and watch Jace O'Dell be blackmailed into a loveless marriage. And besides, what's a little kidnapping between friends?

Okay, so maybe we're not just friends...

And maybe I can't quit thinking about that night at his bar when he closed up early and had me on the rocks.

And maybe this crazy stunt is going to blow up in both of our faces.

If it does, I'm blaming the moonshine.

Even though the only thing I'm hammered on when it comes to Jace is love--straight up, no chaser.

Jace has had a long drawn out on again off again relationship with Ginger. He's a business owner in Happy Cat, but also has a history of arrests for minor incidents, mostly because Deputy Chester has had it in for him since Jace gave him a swirly - IN HIGH SCHOOL.

Olivia believes in auras and crystals and all things metaphysical. She also believes that there is something there between her and Jace, and he feels the same thing. But Chester & Ginger have a plan of their own, and it doesn't include Olivia and Jace getting a HEA.

Spoiler alert - they do ;)

As usual from these authors, there is a lot of amusement in the story along with real love and passion.

Pippa’s writing style will keep you laughing. Comedy and romance.

I love wounded heroes and heroines - probably because they seem to deserve a happy ending the most and Jace and Olivia are my new favorites. This book is also for all the men and women that think they are too big a disaster for and inherently unworthy of beautiful, sweet, fairytale love. This story shows us we are all worth finding what makes our heart happy. This is the second book in the Happy Cat series - the quirky town that’s home to a sex toy factory and also a shut down clown school. Jace owns a bar in town and has had an on again off again relationship with Ginger, a kindergarten teacher, since HS. He also believes he’s the screw up in his family and doesn’t deserve nice things. Olivia is a tree hugging woo woo daughter of a hippy who knows people think she’s a joke but she believes in the goodness of everything. One evening when Jace is single, he and Olivia have a magical night together. But their hopes for an HEA are dashed when Ginger tells Jace the next day that she’s pregnant and he feels he needs to do the right thing. This book has a little bit of everything - sweet moments, fan your face steamy, side splitting hilarity, tearful scenes, slight danger and mystery, an adorable hedgehog, and all kinds of heart squeezing love - expect to laugh, to swoon, and to cry. Jace and Olivia’s less than feelings were definitely palpable. While the book is quite funny, it also has three dimensional characters, witty dialogue and an engaging storyline. I am loving Happy Cat and cannot wait to hear what’s next for the O’Dell brothers.

Not a bad story, but there were some irritating things. The raccoon was creepy, with the idea of it sleeping in your bed, etc. The hedgehog was kind of a goofy idea. And why wouldn’t the man ask for a positive pregnancy test?
And the bad language was unnecessary. There were 108 f bombs, 45 s*** words, 19 d*** words, and 39 h*** words. Why??? They didn’t add to the story at all, in fact, they distracted from it.

Not What the Story Sounds Like and Surprise Ending
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2022

Hammered is book two in the Happy Cat series. It can be read as a standalone book, but it does build on characters introduced in book #1.

So, Jace and Ginger have had an on again, off again relationship since high school. When Jace is finally ready to throw in the towel for good, Ginger has sudden news that she is pregnant with his baby. The last time they were together was a trip to Mexico a couple months ago, so it is possible but, wow, after months of off again what in the world?

Olivia is the town aura reader, flower child and cheerful optimist all rolled into one. Jace and she have sex together at his bar one night, but then he gets back together with his ex-girlfriend who is pregnant. They try to forget about their connection for that baby's sake with limited success but no stepping out.

The story turns more than a bit crazy at the end and you'll find out that Ginger isn't all the is supposed to be and more than a bit unbalanced.

Right from the start you can feel their chemistry, the crackle of the fire between them ... you can feel that they are right for each other.
But why should it be easy?
Jace want to do the right thing and is trying to hold is attraction, his feelings to Olivia at bay - and let his love go. I adore him and I understand why he is doing it ... Ginger is playing not fair.
Olivia is such a cute person. I'd like to be a friend of her. She loves animals, the nature itself. You get to know Princess, a cute abandoned hedgehog, Chewpaca and you also meet George Cooney again.
I really wanna live in Happy Cat among all these lovely-crazy people.
If you don't want funny faces from other people, because you are snort-laughing a lot, you should better not read it in public.
But throughout the book you feel their love, hope, their desperation. You feel everything and you will love the book.

I highly recommend this book ♥️

Another funny and enjoyable read by Pippa Grant and Lili Valente. Their books are always good for laugh and this one was no exceptions with all the usual hijinx of the small town, Happy Cat. I liked Olivia and Jace and hated Ginger from the hose book so it was great to read what happened with them all.
Well written with entertaining storyline and endearing characters.

What do you do when your two favourite authors write a series of books together??? Well, you one-click them so fast you don't have time to blink!!!!

I knew in Hosed that I wanted Jace and Olivia to have a story because I was soooooooooo sure that they were meant to be, not him and that Ginger floozy he was sort of with... AND I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!! This book has romance, laughs, crazy animals, and a little bit of a mystery (just a little more scary than Hosed had, with a greater payoff in my opinion) and it was everything I could have dreamed of for a return to the small town of Happy Cat, GA.

Come fall in love with Jace and Oliva - and Chewpaca the overly friendly alpaca!!!! - while they try to get their chakras and auras in line with each other and solve the mystery of why Ginger is so terrible. Ok, ok, I'm kidding about that part but you do get to see Ginger get what she deserves - and Jace and Olivia get the happy ending THEY deserve! And George Cooney - because he made Hosed and YES he appears here too!!!! It can be read as a standalone, but you'll be curious about some of the things they mention, as well as all the mentions of Ryan and Cassie (the O'Dell brothers are featured here, so you have to figure they're there too!!!!) and some of the things that happened in their book but you don't need to read Hosed to love Hammered. Or maybe I'm biased? But you will want to read Hosed if you haven't because everyone needs a little trash panda in their lives named George Cooney!

I will say, if you've read either of these ladies before you know that they write stories that make you laugh and make the pages sizzle in places. Hammered is no different and I spit out my coffee a few times laughing on the train, much to my copassengers chagrin!

I have been dying to read this book since I read Hosed and the second book in the Happy Cat series was worth the wait. It follows Jace and Olivia’s story, if you are looking for a laugh out loud, light and thoroughly entertaining read then I cannot recommend this book enough.

Jace O’Dell was and is still known as Happy Cat’s resident bad boy, making silly choices as a teen has followed him through the past few years even though he is now a successful business owner with his own bar. He has been trapped in a destructive relationship for years with Ginger, on again and off again he has decided that this time it’s for good especially with Olivia Moonbeam sat across from him in the bar, she radiates sunshine where ever she goes and could not be any more opposite to his toxic ex. He has always been attracted to Olivia and that night he makes his move, after a magical night together he finally has all that he wants but it wasn’t meant to last. Ginger announces that she is pregnant and he watches his chance of happiness with the girl of his dreams drift away, determined to do the right thing and be the best father he can will he make the ultimate sacrifice and marry Ginger and will the towns sheriff finally stop his vendetta?

Olivia Moonbeam moved to Happy Cat with her best friend Savannah to help her start her sex toy business, she is quirky and bright and always makes everyone around her smile. She has always been attracted to Jace O’Dell but knew he was off limits that is until one night they both confess their feelings and spend a perfect night together, not only does she finally have her shot with Jace but she has found a friend in princess the hedgehog and her watchful stuffed squirrel but her happiness is short lived when Jace ends things with Ginger being pregnant she knows that she needs to move on but when things start to not make sense she knows she has to try and save Jace, plus what’s a kidnapping on his wedding day between friends?

This is such a fantastically light and funny read I could not help but smile all the way through and such entertainment from the four legged fur babies in this book I am so looking forward to the next one. Highly recommended book, story and series.

I seriously can't get enough of these books! Hilarious cast of characters, so sweet and swoony plus the most hilarious storyline ever. Mixed in with enough drama to keep it hilariously interesting and we got another winner.
I was slightly worried about reading Olivias book because of how new-age crystals and chakras she is... which has always seemed so ridiculous to me, but it really just made her character all the better.
Jace was an awesome character and I adore they're HEA.
