Computer-security expert and former teenage hacker Noah Logan has long been secretly in love with his best friend, Alexis Carlisle, who runs a Nashville cat café. When a woman claiming to be her half-sister turns up, Alexis leans on Noah, and his Bromance Book Club friends urge him to finally tell her how he feels. He has to decide whether it is worth risking the friendship. All About Romance praised resilient, sassy Alexis and her cat, who hates Noah, but found the family-drama subplot overdone.
