Veterinarian Wade
Roberts is done with love. But try convincing the elderly folk of
Cape Harmony who are determined to play matchmaker. Now the young
single women in town are bombarding him with baked goods and love
notes, and being “taken” is the only way to stop the meddling
grannies—which is why he needs a fake fiancée. Fast.
Arden Pearson loves
planning weddings. Other people's weddings, that is. After her own
engagement ended in disaster, she prefers to live vicariously through
her work. But when she needs to persuade a big client that she’s
capable of planning the celebrity wedding of the year, she’s
willing to go as far as pretending to be engaged herself to her best
friend’s older brother.
Soon
their ruse has everyone in town believing they make the perfect
couple—including Arden. She’s always been nothing more than a kid
sister to Wade, and it might take a village to convince him
otherwise...

2018 Catch Him If You Can
Jennifer
Shirk
Wade
stood in line at the Drip N Sip, about seven people back, mentally
warming up to let good old matchmaking Judy Tavish have an earful.
What a friggin’ exhausting morning he’d had at work on Saturday,
combating the flirting, the date requests, and the come-ons. Becky
was right. His office had served more like a singles bar than a
veterinary clinic. Well, no more. He was done with that, but mostly
he was done with the meddling gray-haired coffee barista, looking
over at him now and shooting him that wide, cheery-assed smile of
hers.
“Oh,
hello, Wade!” Judy waved, all sunny and good-natured, which
ironically had the direct opposite effect on his already foul mood.
He gritted his teeth and didn’t wave back.
“And
what animal peed on your parade?” a feminine voice asked beside
him.
He
glanced to his right. Arden Pearson stood next to him with arms
folded and an amused grin on her glistening pink-glossed lips. Arden
was his sister’s best friend and all-around town sass-mouth—at
least to him. He’d known her since high school when she had braces
and blond hair down to her butt. Her mouth was still as sassy—maybe
more so—but the braces were gone and her straight hair was cut
shoulder length in a mature, professional style now. He’d always
thought she was a cute girl back then, but as an adult, she was
pretty damn stunning—when she wasn’t ribbing him. She had moved
back to Cape Harmony about five years ago to open up her wedding
planning business. Wade rarely ran into her in town unless she was
with Kinsley, which made this day all the more agitating.
He
turned away. “Right now, I’d actually welcome being peed on,”
he muttered.
She
made a tsk tsk sound. “Wow, you are having a bad day. Well, join
the club.”
“Join
the club?” Wade turned back to her and blinked. Damn, she had the
prettiest eyes. The most unique kind of blue he’d ever seen. He
immediately looked away. “Are you being bombarded at work and at
home by hordes of single marriage-minded women?”
“Well, no—
Wait.” She laughed. “Hold on. Are you?”
“Yes.
And it’s all Judy Tavish’s fault,” he said, jerking his thumb
in Judy’s direction. “She’s taken it upon herself to become my
own personal walking, talking Tinder account.”
“Hmm…”
Arden’s delicate brows drew together. “So, does this mean you
want to book me ahead of schedule for a discount, or do you want to
wait until the actual wedding proposal?” she said with a chuckle.
“I knew you
wouldn’t see the seriousness in the situation.”
“You’re
right. I don’t.” She shrugged. “I mean, so what if Judy thought
you should get out and have some fun and gave your number to a few
nice women. Oh, boo-hoo.”
He
looked her dead in the eye. “Twenty-six
women, Arden. Twenty-six. Not including the crowd that showed up at
the clinic on Saturday with their fake sick pets. And did you know
that when I got home from work there were brownies and half a baked
chicken left on my doorstep.”
Arden
whistled. “Damn. Remind me to use Judy when I’m looking for a
date. Or need a snack.”
Review: I've been meaning to read more Jennifer Shirk, so I was thrilled to get a chance to read Catch Him If You Can. Her books are wonderful sweet romances with characters that you absolutely fall in love with.
I have to admit I love the fake fiance trope, so that really made this book more fun for me. Oh and when the characters love Doctor Who, well. Its happy happy joy joy time for me when it comes to reading. I love when characters like the same things I do.
Our hero is a vet. Squee! Animal lovers make me so happy. He's slightly geeky too. Wade is officially my new book boyfriend. I have to say that I seldom have tried to claim book boyfriends, but this year, I think I've claimed three! Wade is definitely one of them. In fact, I'd say he would be at the top of the list, for being a Doctor Who fan. I loved all the references to the show both new and classic versions.
Can you say perfection?
Yes it is! It is total perfection, especially as both hero and heroine need each other to be their fake significant other, him to keep matchmaking friends from sending women his way, and her to get a great client for her wedding planning business.
Its a small town romance about two people determine to not get attached to anyone. Of course, that doesn't work out, because as they really get to know each other they start to get attached!
I loved it!
