The Catch by Amy Lea
3.0

Boston based influencer, Melanie, sets course to a small fishing town in Novia Scotia in hopes or reviving her flailing brand. Unfortunately for her when she arrives, she learns there has been a booking mistake.

She scrambles to find accommodations and ends up at a small bed and breakfast. It’s here she meets the burly and not so nice, Evan. After a boating accident lands Evan in the hospital, he mistakes Mel for his past fiancée. She agrees to go along with it for a week in exchange for help with her social media content.

It’s not long before the two go from fake dating, to real feelings, but will they turn into anything more than desires?

This was my second book by this author, and I think that it is going to be my last. I love books about influencers, and wanted to love this series so much, which is why I gave this book a shot. My initial thoughts were that it sounded almost exactly like another book I have read and really enjoyed, and after reading it, I can say that yes, they are very similar.

I did love the banter between Melanie and Evan in this book. The banter also made the slow burn romance worth the wait, which is a hard thing to accomplish in my opinion. But Nona was really the best part of the book for me. She was absolutely amazing! I wish she was presented for more of the book.

If you are looking for a grumpy / sunshine, fake engagement romance set in a small town then check this one out!
