Catch Me Banner2

18110772In the past, I’ve always been given everything I’ve wanted, but nothing that I truly needed. I’ve experienced a lot of things in my twenty-five years, everything except the one thing I want. It’s the one thing that can’t be bought. It can’t even be taken, it has to be given. And nobody has ever given it to me, not really anyway.

Not until him.

Music is the center of both our lives, but as he found his place in it, I lost my way. He soared, while I spiraled down a destructive path.
I lost myself in more ways than I can count.

The ironic thing is that I didn’t realize how lost I was until he found me.

And now that he has, I have to wonder if he’ll stay around long enough to catch me.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

CATCH ME is a captivating, emotional story about Brooklyn Harmon who at twenty-five, is beautiful, rich and successful, but has little self worth. Brooklyn is fighting a lot of demons, has had a stint in rehab and has discovered there are few people in her life she can trust. She works for her father’s record company, Harmon Records and also sells a successful line of microphones. Brooklyn’s mother has caused her endless pain with all her negative remarks. She has grown up in a family with little time or love for her. Brooklyn’s parents have always tried to dominate her and they only give her attention, when they need something. Brooklyn has never had a healthy relationship, has had few people in her corner and she is afraid to open her heart to anyone. She lives in a world where people use each other to get ahead and you can’t believe or count on anyone, until she meets Nick Wilde

Nick is a successful record producer and he and Brooklyn, are immediately drawn to one another. Brooklyn is slowly seduced by all of Nick’s heated glances, gentle touches and their banter. When they finally get together, it’s powerful, seductive and like nothing Brooklyn has ever experienced. Nick is strong, sexy, confident, successful and caring. He is exactly what Brooklyn needs. I adored Nick, especially his self assurance and of course, his raspy voice. Nick knows what he wants and goes after it. He doesn’t care about Brooklyn’s family or her wealth.

This is the first book I have read by Clair Contreras and I savored it, was sorry it had to end and will have a hard time getting Nick out of my head. It was emotional story, but not filled with too much angst. There are some great secondary characters and I wouldn’t be surprised if a book is written about each of them in the future. CATCH ME is a pleasure to read and the chemistry between Nick and Brooklyn is smoking hot.
