The Catching Kind



FYI: Caitie Quinn is the pen name for Bria Quinlan. This cover is a little outdated -- Bria is moving to put everything under her own name now.

From Goodreads:

"Hailey Tate thought she was worth more than a straight flush.

Apparently not.

When camera-shy author Hailey Tate's agent loses a bet and brokers a deal, it leaves Hailey in the last place she wants to be: backed into the corner of Publicity and Paparazzi. Now, thanks to her girl-next-door image and role as pretend girlfriend to a womanizing shortstop, she's getting the attention she always managed to avoid.

Connor Ryan is not only America's Sexiest Athlete, he's also the current Bad Boy of Baseball. But when he goes a base too far, management wants to bench him...permanently. One thing he never counted on? Falling for his sweet, fake girlfriend. He's the guy who can catch anything and now she's next on his list."

***

This was a fun read. I really liked Hailey and Connor and their spunky personalities and how even though they seemed like very disparate people, they were the same underneath. It was sweet watching them resist coming together, and yet learning that the other had unexpected depths. Very well written, Bria.


Gentle Reader Alert: There may have been a couple of mild swears. I honestly don't remember.
