Quirkiness Galore! Hammered is full of adorable animals, quirky characters and lots of laughs!

In the small town of Happy Cat, Jace O'Dell is known as the "Bad Boy O'Dell". With a history of bad decisions and poor choices I suppose Jace is the black sheep of the O'Dell family, even though he now runs a successful business and really hasn't done anything wrong in years, aside from being in a toxic relationship. It is during one of his off-again breakups that he finally has some clarity about just how toxic his relationship with Ginger has been when Olivia Moonbeam is sitting in his bar. Olivia is the complete opposite of Ginger in every way and honestly makes Jace feel happy and good about himself. Even more than that, he likes her and the more he thinks about how much he likes her he comes to realize that he has liked Olivia for awhile, he just wasn't able to act on it due to his relationship status with Toxic Ginger. Well....that is about to change.

Olivia Moonbeam might be known as the town's cooky girl, but Jace appreciates everything about her. He always looks past her quirks and just sees her. One night while sitting in his bar, they might get a little hammered and confess their feelings, but that doesn't mean their feelings weren't real...does it? Unfortunately, karma comes waltzing back in in the shape of Jace's ex and like the good man he is he goes back to her. It doesn't lessen the pain, but Olivia doesn't mess with karma. That is until Jace really needs rescuing. Like from the alter. On his wedding day. Sorry karma.

Hammered, is so much fun. You will love it if you love laugh out loud romcom's filled with a ton of silly scenarios. Hammered is labeled as the second in the Happy Cat series, but I haven't had a chance to read Hosed yet (sad, but it just hasn't worked into my TBR schedule yet) however, I had no trouble jumping into the Happy Cat world and reading Hammered as a complete standalone.
