Summary
I have been a fan of Jennifer Shirk since I read my first book of hers. Catch Him if You Can did not disappoint. How can you not love a geeky hero who is a vet?!
Wade lost his wife and has closed himself off to everyone. The town ladies are trying to throw women at him so that he will start living again and be happy. There were some cute scenes when he figured it out and was upset with the little old ladies.
Arden is a wedding planner with her own love troubles. She is convinced that no one will choose her for the long term. She throws herself into her work to make the best possible wedding experience for the brides.
I typically do not like stores where they are faking an engagement and the entire time you are waiting for a big blow up. This fake engagement was very well done. Wade and Arden have been friends since high school. So their time together and the developing relationship were not forced. It flowed smoothly.
Jennifer made several decisions with the characters that were not typically of the romance genre and I was thrilled. For those of us who read a lot you love it when the author does not take the stereo typical approach. This is just another reason that Jennifer stays on my must read author list.
This book is published by the Entangled Bliss line. So the physical scenes are all behind closed doors. You know they occur but there are no details.
Sex – 2 chemistry, behind closed door sex,
Violence - 0
Language - 1 damn 10 times
Drugs/alcohol - 1 I think there was a couple mention of drinks but nothing that stood out
