Catch Her Heart by Julia Jarrett

Sweet, fun, romantic friends to lovers. 

 

This book made me smile from start to finish. Dan Montgomery, Monty, and Lark Miller, Birdie, have been best friends for years. She works for the professional baseball team he plays for. Monty is the ultimate golden retriever MMC and I adored him. He’s completely smitten with Lark but refuses to act on his feelings since she’s seeing someone out of respect for her. The only reason Lark has stayed in her current relationship is the pressure from their uptight families. 

After Lark comes to her senses and these two share their true feelings, it’s a delight. These two are so much fun together. Hot nerds are apparently a thing and I’m here for it. They share their love of all things Star Wars and just enjoy each other’s company. His devotion to Lark is second to none. However, when ‘baby bird’ enters the picture, Lark shows her true devotion to Monty as well. 

This is narrated by Tim Paige and Victoria Connolly. I haven’t heard too much from these two recently, but I thought it was perfect casting for this story. Tim was so entertaining as Monty. He expressed his spirit, and the inner monologues were so cute, especially during the intimate moments. Victoria gave us Lark’s strength and vulnerability as a woman working in a male dominate industry who just wants to be treated like a lady occasionally. 

 

This is an enjoyable, easy listen where he falls first and has no third act breakup. I listened to this straight through and loved every minute. I can’t wait for the next installment.
