Caught by Clare James

2.0

DNF
Here’s to another Brazen fail this month… This one obviously worst than my last try because my rating decision was a rather abrupt and rash one : DNF.
I read steadily but rather slowly up until 65% then skimmed through the end.

I picked "Caught" by Clare James because of the blurb and the fact that I was in a book funk after a fantastic read. I thought I nice quick read would help me get out of it, and what’s best than a hot and light Brazen to set my reading mojo right? Right?

The synopsis promised an entertaining and hot read, the hero, Jarod Cage, a notorious NASCAR driver has been caught pants down by a security camera.
Heroine Vivian Blake, a talented PR, is hired to get Jarod’s back on track and re-assess his public image. He has no choice but to accept or lose his sponsors and damage his career.



It should have been a nice and safe drive for me and despite a rather hot start with the description of the sextape, the race ended to an abrupt stop after one to many absurd behavior from the heroine.
She was a complete nonsense. She proved herself to be a walking contradiction and I could not bear to read one more foolish minute of her.



Jarod’s character was hot, but didn’t hold my attention. He was running after an judgmental and annoying woman, I really didn’t understand the attraction between them. It felt… forced. On top of that the author tried to insufflate some bad boy vibe to him, but his persona and behavior never matched…

In conclusion, Caught had some potential but I never could connect with the heroine or the hero.
Don’t let my picky self stop you from trying it, I was obviously in a reading funk and Caught wasn’t up to my expectations.
