The Catch
by Amy Lea
Thank you so much to Berkley for the advance copy of this book!
Thank you so much to PRH Audio for the complimentary audio!
This book will be published on February 13, 2024.
This is the final installment of the influencer series. I really enjoyed the prior two books in this series so my excitement for Mel's book was high!
I did not look up the blurb for this so I'm not sure if going in completely blind was good or not. I will say, even though this is only my second book to have a fishermen in it, I must say I love fishermen and I will be needing to find another romance to have in my back pocket.
The beginning of this was a little rocky for me and just wasn't holding my attention until the fake engagement trope began after an accident left Evan in the hospital and being engaged was the only thing Mel could explain as to who she is. It really started picking up in the 2nd half of the book when the feelings all came out and the struggle to hide it from his family. Some of the antics in this book would not happen in real life but makes it fun for books.
"None of that even matters at the end of the day."
"How does it not matter?"
"Because I love everything about you. The real you."
His family was something else. Just like with any family there are complications but at the core they are always there for each other. It made me happy when they all banded together at the end and supported Evan.
I just love the way Amy writes and the chemistry she has between her FMC & MMC. And in this case with Evan being a grump and the tension building between him and Melanie. I love that he brought this other side out of her and she just kept cracking down his hard exterior. Even though they were so different, they seem to have complimented each other.
I paired my reading with the audiobook and Kelsey Narravro Foster knocked it out of the park with the narration! She was able to capture all the characters in this in the variety of voices. She also has one of those tone that I was able to speed up the voice and it would not get terribly distorted.
This wasn't my favorite of the 3 but I still enjoyed it enough to want to keep going with and I am very excited to see what Amy Lea does next!
If you love fake dating/engagement, fishermen, meddling family than check this out!
