I tend to go into short stories and novellas with a grain of salt because in a lot of cases, something has to take the short straw so it feels like one thing suffers to make room for something else, and all too often that something is character development. That is so not a problem with Catch Me. Jennifer Probst has managed to pack a powerful punch with this quick listen. Without a doubt, it's sexy, like really sexy, but it's also so much more than that. What I really expected to be all about just one night between Tara and Rick turned out to be a whole romance. We do get some time jumps, but they make perfect sense once we meet these characters, and it's not at all hard to get to know them. In less room than some books take to even get started, Jennifer Probst manages to introduce us to two very complex characters that I not only liked, I genuinely wanted to see these two get together. I was invested down to the very last word. And that's not even all of it. Rick Steele is a sexy as sin alpha male whether you meet him in print or through audio, but pair everything we know about him with the voice of Matthew Williamson, and I thought my device was gonna overheat. This book was everything a good, lose yourself for a while romance should be. It's emotional, sexy, sweet, and ladies, if you've forgotten what it's like to be courted, this is it. It may not be the old fashioned style, but Rick Steele definitely knows his stuff when it comes to wooing a woman. Combine all of that with Matthew Williamson's seductive voice, and this one is toe-curling.
