The spicy and hilarious new runaway bride sports romcom with a hunky sports star, curvy girl, age gap, and guaranteed HEA ending. Perfect for fans of Stephanie Archer and Elle Kennedy!

If a hunky baseball star offered to give you anything you desired, what would you ask for?

Jenny

Mom told me I should accept my boyfriend’s proposal and settle down, raise a family, have a good life.
She didn’t say anything about him cheating on me the night before our wedding--with my best friend!
Now, I’m a runaway bride with no job, no apartment, only this beat-up old Mini Cooper.
And because I’m such a good mama’s girl, I still have my v-card!
I’m instantly attracted to the hunky baseball star who saves my life--from a bear named Howard!
He's my ultimate male fantasy, a literal dream come true--the baseball star, not the bear! Lol.
But I barely know him. (Still talking about baseball guy!)
How can I trust him after I've already been let down by my former fiance?
Yet the more I get to know him, the more I start to feel as if we're forever lovers, connected by an invisible string.
Now, I need to decide whether to trust this feeling--or cut the string.

Brick

I’m still grieving over the loss of the love of my life.
Between my pro baseball career, my dark childhood, and caring for her, I never had time for relationships.
But when I meet Jenny, stunningly beautiful and crying in a wedding trousseau being pursued by a bear, I feel an overwhelming desire to be with her.
I’m determined to prove to her that she deserves happiness.
I spend the week pleasing her in every way possible and having the time of my life.
Making her happy makes me happy. The more time we spend together, the more I become convinced she just might be my forever love.
But I know it can't last beyond this week. Or can it?

Catching the Curve is the spicy romcom featuring an age gap instalove between a pro baseball star and the curvy younger woman whom he invites into his cabin--and his heart. It features hilarious laugh-out-loud banter and situations, panty-melting steamy scenes, no cheating between the MCs, and an HEA ending guaranteed to leave a smile on your face and a happy tear in your eye. Oh, and there's also a bear named Howard who loves Taylor Swift. Because, well, who doesn't!

Meh.

I wanted to like this story, but it wasn't great. Virtual Voice narration didn't help, there were editing errors too, which made for a but if confusion. I bought book version on Kindle and added Audible and had to reference the book version several times to make sense of the dialogue at times, some of the euphemisms were odd to me and didn't make sense. Needless to say, I won't be reading any more of this series and not sure I'll try anything else by this author.

Brick and Jenny

A serendipitous encounter for two people who deserved to find each other. Brick and Jenny are just too sweet for words. Their journey was not all sunshine and roses but their destination was simply amazing for them. I adored going on this adventure with them.

nice story

Like the story, good for entertaining yourself in flight or train or just for relaxing a bit.

The story

The plot was very good. From her catching her best friend to her finding her forever.

AI narration isn’t it

This story has a lot of potential but the AI narration is extremely distracting. Audiobook narration is an art form. English has nuance that AI cannot capture, specifically homophones!
