Another fun/sexy/ridiculous installment in Meghan Quinn’s Brentwood Boys Series. This book was more surprising than her other ones, which I really enjoyed! I also found Kate and Walker to be easy to root for (even if they were both a touch dramatic). This one felt very tenuously connected to the other books in the series though. Almost no old characters showed up and the book was based around a player from the Bobbies, not anyone who went to Brentwood.
Overall a fun, but not particularly memorable read.

I only have a few things to say about The Perfect Catch...if you like dirty talk, mutual singular gratification, phone sexytimes, and a bunch of angst, then this is the book for you. Walker is a baseball player in Meghan Quinn's baseball world that upon the first look you think he is on the wrong team in Chicago. As you get to know Walker, you will love him.

Let’s talk about The Perfect Catch by Meghan Quinn...
Walker Rockwell is the most hated player in baseball. After another embarrassing outburst and rumors of a possible trade looming if he doesn’t clean up his act, Walker has no choice but to start working with Kate Chapman, the team’s new PR manager. Kate is beautiful and witty and recognizes instantly that there is something deeper that is motivating Walker’s behavior — a reason why he has lost his love for the game and she sets out to help him. As they spend more time together the draw they feel towards each other is undeniable. Just one small problem — it is forbidden for a staff member like Kate to date a player like Walker. Choosing to pursue their attraction to each other could mean giving up everything they have worked for.
Walker’s book was EVERYTHING!!! While this book is one of the Brentwood Boys series you don’t have to read the series to read and enjoy this one. They can be read independently and let me say this book was so good. It felt different somehow than the others. It was oh so steamy but addressed such deep issues with Walker and my heart aches for him so much.
I loved the forbidden love aspect of the story even though it made me ache for them so much at times. There was also a major twist in this one that I did not see coming! While I don’t know that Walker has replaced Lincoln as my favorite Brentwood man, this book overall is definitely my new favorite of the series! I have already been itching to reread it!!
Even if you have never read a Quinn book this is an excellent story of forbidden love that will tug at the heartstrings of any romance reader and get you sucked into the world of Meghan Quinn with me

Meghan Quinn.
The authoress exquisite.
The woman who gives you the most gorgeous of guys wearing a towel for her covers, only to make you earn them by writing stories for them that make tears flow and your heart ache until she FINALLY gives them their perfect person.
Meghan, you are the author who has cost me more in tissues than anyone else. Surpassing even LJ Shen.
I think this may just be my review…..
For those of you who haven’t read any of Ms. Quinn’s baseball books here’s the wrap of this book. Excuse any misspellings because - I still have something in my eyes.
Tears. Just tears.
This book is Walker’s story. It can be read as a stand-alone. Our baseball guys from other books peek in from time to time but Walker is a stand alone on the team. His book echoes his personality.
Walker is complicated. The core of him is such an amazing person. It takes a lot to get through to that point. In the book too.
Like some of Meghan’s other guys, Walker is battling his own pain demons. His own losses. Forget The Locker Room. Forget the Dug Out. Forget The Change Up. Knox, Carson and Maddox combined didn’t rip my heart out half as much as Walker has.
Walker’s lady? She’s just …. I want to be Kate. She’s the best bits of Dottie, Emory, and Millie in one stiletto wearing taking over the world female body. She fits in perfectly with the Bobbies WAGS.
Kate has her own past and her own losses which shape her. Forced into Walker’s orbit she quickly realizes that there is so much more hiding in his eyes than anger and the walls aren’t from cockiness but from personal isolation. He tears at her heart and soul as well.
This book is the slow burns of all slow burns. But it’s necessary and worth every single push/pull moment.
Walker hasn’t pushed Holt out of batting first in my Towel Brigade favorites, but he and Kate ARE first in my line up of couples.
You’re going to cry. You’re going to be a little sexually frustrated for these two. You’ll have all the warm and happy slathered all over your wounds by the time you reach the last page.

I keep thinking I've found my favourite Brentwood boy and then another comes along to go, "yeah but what about me, though?" And that's the case with Walker. I'm obsessed with this. The tension. The slow burn. The grumpy sunshine. The baseball. The humour. The writing. All of it. I'm obsessed. Can MQ do any wrong? Because I haven't found it...I volunteered to read and review an early copy of this. All opinions are my own.
WOW! Just know that I cried! When Meghan said it's a slow burn with an EXTREMELY hot ending, it's EXACTLY that! I put the book down when I was halfway reading it because the buildup was killing me and I needed a breather from Walker and Kate's story. But I couldn't finish it fast enough because I needed to know how their story goes.
Walker is like a dream guy! I did not think I was going to love him. But clearly, he is a misunderstood guy and only Kate really see his true self. But there's a whole mountain of obstacles between them and that was what sucked me into their story. The need to know how they are going to cross those hurdles, Walker's issues also one of them.
Their story couldn't suck my soul enough. It was so much more than I expected, as well as its complexity. Only Meghan can write such masterpiece!

So Walker isn't great, but at least the way Meghan Quinn writes about female characters who aren't the protagonist is respectful.
