About this ebook

Jessica Montgomery has always lived by three simple rules: stay calm, stay professional, stay in control. Working tirelessly to make it into the executive ranks of her family's business, her dream job of CFO is within reach-if she can convince one stubborn and sexy restaurateur to take her offer and manage Montgomery Industries' flagship restaurant in Atlanta.

On the surface Logan Wilde is all good-old-boy charm and humor, but he can't seem to outrun the hell-raising reputation of his high school years. Although he has thought about leaving his hometown in Falcon, Alabama, he has grown to love the town, his restaurant, and his part-time gig coaching the football team.

Jessica estimates it will take a week tops to get Logan Wilde's signature on her generous offer, but their first meeting is anything but professional. Logan shreds Jessica's control and unleashes a passion she didn't know existed even as a deeper connection between them takes root. When her family's manipulations threaten to tear them apart, Jessica has to decide whether her dream is really the CFO job or the man who has unselfishly offered his love.

Ratings and reviews

Jessica and Logan each have something to prove. Jessica is intent on obtaining her place in the family business and Logan wants to be seen as more than an upstart jock. Hard to do in a town where everyone knows your name and your reputation proceeds you. Logan was every woman's dream. A handsome, caring and funny man wanting to do the right thing. Jessica is a more complicated character. She is willing to do whatever it takes as long as the end goal gets her where she wants to be. Laura Trentham uses two complete opposites to show her readers the importance of growth, life, love and happiness. Caught Up in the Touch is a look at small town life and big city goals. This series is a win. I received an ARC for an honest review.

Loved this one! A great small town romance that is well written with characters that are entertaining and captivating. Logan is pure perfection. Humble, kind, and with an inner strength that guides him through everything life throws at him. Jessica takes a little time to warm up to but once she lets her guard down and we get to know her, we understand why she is the way she is. I could feel the chemistry between these two and I enjoyed watching their relationship evolve. I highly recommend this one to anyone who loves a good romance!
