Book Review: Catching Him by Aurora Rose Reynolds

catching himLighthearted, witty and written like an advice column, “Catching Him” is a 21st century guide to dating without the use of any app. With lots of laugh out loud funny moments, it is hard to put down once you start reading.

And if you choose to listen to the audiobook, Carly Robins is as delightful as ever. Alexander Cendese was also a joy to listen to, except that he only had two chapters and I would have loved to listen to him more.

Set in a small town in Tennessee, “Catching Him” follows hairdresser Leah Emerson and construction foreman Tyler Duncan who happened to be neighbors. New in town, Tyler met town native Leah via their pets.

Leah’s cat like escaping to Tyler’s house while Tyler’s dog thinks that Leah’s porch is the best place to hang out.

So in between picking up their pets from each other’s houses, Leah and Tyler started a friendship that turned into a romantic relationship. And when their families and friends got involved, i.e., they started to be curious on what the heck was truly going on between them, family dinners were hilarious affairs.

A rom-com through and through with a little bit of drama and a little bit of mystery plus some steamy scenes to add spice to the story, “Catching Him” is a great lighthearted read.

As I said earlier, Carly Robins, and Alexander Cendese were both delightful to listen to. I liked Carly’s work in “The Kiss Quotient” by Helen Hoang. And though we had very little of Alexander in this book, his work in “Damaged Like Us” by Krista Richie and Becca Richie has impressed me. Five stars performance for these two.

Catching Him” is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content.

Summary

Leah Emerson isn’t looking for a man—she’s looking for the right man. But her mother’s idea of a great catch leaves her cold, and she’s pretty sure her cocky, arrogant, and way too good-looking new neighbor isn’t the one either. If only her wayward cat would stop jumping through his window, she could get on with her life.

Tyler Duncan moved into town for a new job, not to fall in love. But he always goes after the things he wants in life with steadfast determination . . . and he wants Leah Emerson. He wants her smiles, he wants her touch, and he definitely wants her in bed.

Unfortunately, someone else wants Leah—in the worst way. Now Tyler’s on a mission to protect the woman he’s falling in love with while proving he’s worth falling for, and Leah must decide whether Tyler is a catch worth catching . . .
