This was a delightful addition to the series. I really enjoyed my time with it and found the story to just be sweet and fluffy. It has mandatory drama that all of Aurora Rose Reynolds books but it really hit the spot.
Also I really want cupcakes now.

And again! These books are like my addiction. One small taste and I'm begging for more. I read the first page and then it's like i got sucked inside the book and couldn't get out, not that i minded since i didn't realise i was so engrossed it was like one of those times where your so into your book you can't even remember you reading it your just seeing everything happen in your head like your actually there.
Gaston and Chrissie was amazing together, i loved their relationship from the very beginning when they meet to the end and everything inbetween!
Gaston was like all Auroras alphas, growly and protective and only has eyes for his girl.
Chrissie was amazing, she was so easy to like, she was sweet but had the little bit of sass to her that keeps you on your toes.
I loved seeing Tyler and Leah again and seeing how they are getting on after their book!
Amazing as always!

The thing I love most about Aurora's books are how easy they are to read. Sometimes, you need to escape from heavy and dark books, even if they are romances too, and her books are the perfect antidote. She has been a one click author to me for years, after reading her Until series, and I have loved every story she has written.
Baiting Him is the second book in the How To Catch An Alpha series, about Chrissie, Leah from book one's best friend. Chrissie meets Gus on Leah's bachelorette party and although their initial meeting doesn't go to plan, the minute these two gave into their undeniable chemistry, their relationship shoots to the next level. Although there is some family drama and a slight twist at the end, everything works out for this couple and it makes such a sweet story.
I love Aurora's alpha male heroes and Gus did not disappoint. He was protective and charming, but so hot too. He knew what he wanted and went for it, the attraction between him and Chrissie was undeniable. And I loved Le Fou too!!
Chrissie was sassy, intelligent and so beautiful. She kept her heart closely guarded thanks to being let down by multiple male figures in her life, and was fiercely independent. However, it only took the right man to push through those barriers and restore her faith and trust in men.
This is such a sweet and easy read and I can't wait for book 3!

This is a Netgalley ARC review. All opinions are solely mine.
Aurora Rose Reynolds writes a hot and sweet, laugh out loud romance that takes on several pieces of Beauty and the Beast. Chrissie and Gaston are amazing from the start. The entire book made me think of the happiness that comes from a bakery.
I'm still not sure how the title tied into the actual book. But, honestly. I didn't care. The book works in it's entirety.
This is book two of the How to Catch an Alpha series. I can't wait to read more!!

I wanted something light and fluffy this weekend, and immediately picked up this book. When you need a low-angst, sweet romance, Aurora Rose Reynolds is the perfect choice and this one didn't disappoint. I loved the way that Chrissie and Gaston (I know, I know) met. Chrissie gets tired of waiting in the never ending line for the ladies room at her best friend's bachelorette party and decides to sneak into the empty men's room. Gaston, the club owner catches her right as she's leaving but is very intrigued by her from the get go. There's an instant connection between the two (as in pretty much all of ARR books) and he does his best to convince Chrissie that his interest in genuine. I also really loved the side plot of Chrissie's estranged dad. Overall easy read with lots of cute scenes.

This is one of those books where the more I think about it, the lower my opinions on it get. So at first glance and without thinking too hard, this was a quick, enjoyable read!
I enjoyed Gaston (despite all of the red flags, but we'll let those go for romance reasons), and the first chapter was fantastic and really sucked me in. I was looking for more of that! But in the end, not much happens? It's less of a story-driven "plot" (and I feel bad for saying this, but I really am using the word "plot" loosely here) and more of a look into the lives of these two for a few weeks. Everything moves incredibly fast, Chrissie cries a lot, and I really disliked the storyline with the father.
Honestly, outside of there not being much of a plot, my biggest upset with this book were two phrases. One was, "'I don't mind parking out here, and it's not like I'm walking a mile in the dark through the ghetto to get into the building,'..." The second was, "I sit Indian-style with my back to the headboard,..."
This was published in 2020. There are other ways to word those two phrases without using antiquated, offensive (racist) descriptors. Let's do better.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided to me through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to the author and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book and I'm sorry for the delay in my reading/reviewing; it's been a bit of a year!
