The Catch

Today's post is on The Catch by Amy Lea. It is 416 pages long and is published by Berkley. The cover is teal blue with the two main characters in the center. It is the third in a series, but you don't have to read the first two books to understand the story. There is mild foul language, sex, and no violence in this novel. The intended reader is someone who likes romance comedies. The story is told from first person of Melanie. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- A grumpy lobster fisherman tosses a fashion influencer’s impeccably curated life overboard in the next romantic comedy from international bestselling author Amy Lea.
In a last-ditch effort to rescue her brand from the brink of irrelevance, Boston fashion influencer Melanie Karlsen finds herself in a rural fishing village on the east coast of Canada. The only thing scarier than nature itself? The burly and bearded bed-and-breakfast owner and fisherman, Evan Whaler—who single-handedly disproves the theory that Canadians are “nice.”
After a boating accident lands Evan unconscious in the hospital, Mel is mistaken for his fiancée by his welcoming yet quirky family, who are embroiled in a long-standing feud over the B&B. In a bold attempt to mend family fences, Mel agrees to fake their engagement for one week in exchange for Evan’s help with her social media content.
Amid long hikes and campfire chats, reeling in their budding feelings for each other proves more difficult by the day. But is Mel willing to sacrifice her picture-perfect life in the city for a chance at a true, unfiltered love in the wild?

Review- A cute, rom-com. Melanie is an influencer who is trying to re-brand herself and finds herself stuck in backwoods Canada for a week. She books BNB with a very grumpy owner. Of course there is more to the story than him just being grumpy and Mel learns that over the course of the story. This is a cute romance with cute characters and a strong thread of family. Both Mel and Evan are deeply involved with their families and they both value family. There sex is there and can easily be skipped with no detriment to the story. A cute beach read. 

I give this novel a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this novel from my local library.
