One California girl.
One Canadian boy.
One week.
No strings.
Two years later and he’s back.
Nothing much had changed.
Except this time, he was here to stay.
This book was all kinds of cute, it gave me tingles from how perfect Easton and Tanner were for each other.
Easton has lived in this small town in California all her life. She doesn’t see herself going anywhere but where she is. She loves her life, her friends and her jobs. She couldn’t ask for a better life than what she has. She doesn’t do relationships, she doesn’t want to get caught up having feelings for anyone. She’s too afraid to ever get hurt and she’d rather avoid that all cost.
Tanner is from Canada, he went with his buddies to California for a week break from college. The last thing he thought would happen was get caught up with getting feelings for someone he was never going to see again.
Tanner is the perfect specimen of a man. He is the total package that a woman would love to have in a man. Can’t say much more than that because he’s basically perfect!
Tanner and Easton hit it off from the get go. Easton is all gong-ho in having a one night stand with Tanner and move on, but little does she know that that’s far from what Tanner is thinking. He wants to spend the whole week with her. Easton and Tanner form a bond and their chemistry is too strong. The last thing Easton wants is to get caught up on Tanner but the heart wants what the heart wants. It was very hard for both of them to say good-bye when Tanner had to return to Canada. Neither of them ever thought that they would see each other and they had this beautiful memory to live by.
Two years later, Tanner gets an offer he can’t refuse and he moves to California and he’s excited and eager to see Easton again. The question is, is Easton ready for Tanner??
This was a very cute story that had me invested. I sat and read it and just couldn’t unglue myself from my device.
Easton and Tanner were everything you look for in a book!

Great read! This was my first read by this author and definitely not my last. I adored Tanner and Easton. Their attraction, push and pull, and chemistry was amazing. Such a sweet story, that’s well written, with a enthralling storyline, that flowed well from page to page, and with well developed characters that I adored.

A new to me author to add to the list! I quite enjoyed reading Caught Inside and will be reading more work from Kristie Leigh again.
Tanner and Easton have this amazing connection that was lovely to read. Tanner seemed so emotionally mature and intelligent for his age, which is not always the case. Easton never spoke about her past and this has left her with so many fears.
The relationship they developed in the begging, along with the second chance to try again was beautifully written!
I hope the supporting cast also get their own stories…hint hint!!

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.
This is my first Kristie Leigh book and she definitely has me wanting to go back and read all of the other books she’s released. Her attention to detail and emotional impact had me feel like I was right there in the story with them from the start.
Tanner and Easton melted my heart. What started as a week of no-strings, it became so much more. Their story was beautiful and captivating in a way that will capture your heart and make you want what they have.
Kristie takes you for a ride on an emotional roller coaster, and when it’s all said and done, you want to get back on and ride it all over again. Their story will pull you in from the very beginning and keep you invested all the way through.
Four stars for this emotional ride that you won’t want to let go when it’s all said and done.

Tanner and Easton’s story is a beautifully written story which is perfect and light-hearted for the challenges that we are all facing currently. This story is fun, entertaining, humorous, and with 2nd chance which all lead to an all-consuming tale about taking chances on love. I was hooked throughout, and I highly recommend for all readers.

This was my first read by this author and I really enjoyed it. The characters were fun and just loveable. It was a great read for in between. Also perfect for times like these since you get a feeling of warmth and that you‘re at the beach which everyone needs at the moment.
The story was good and overall just a feel good read with a little drama and a few small problems.

This was a really fun, lighthearted read and kind of reverse roles that I really enjoyed. Relationship phobic Easton is a fun loving girl who only goes for hookups meets sweet/relationship minded Tanner who is visiting from Canada. They have a whirlwind, instant connection that scares Easton so much she cuts ties with Tanner. 2 years later he is back and determined to change her no relationship ways. Great cast of characters, good writing with some nice beach vibes you really can’t go wrong with this one.

Easton is a low key, pink haired surfer with a easy going outlook. Working at bar and the surf shop the girl has it made. Until Tanner walks into charity event and everything changes. Tanner is this gorgeous, sensitive, sexy man. He flips her world inside out. One week is all they have or is it? This book is a story of finding love and taking chances and being scared of it all. This is Kristie’s best work so far!!! My favorite of hers so far!!!

Caught Inside is about an insecure California girl named Easton who freely sleeps with anything male until she meets Tanner, a college student on vacation from Canada. One wild week leaves them wishing for more, but knowing that it can never be. When Tanner shows up two years later, Easton feels undone. Can true love conquer all? Will they ever know the depths of a real relationship? I loved the cover of this book. Gorgeous! And I have liked a few other Leigh books. Unfortunately, this one fell short for me. There were brief glimpses of the possibility of there being a deep relationship, but the frivolous sex robbed the story of that possibility. I had a difficult time liking Easton, the heroine. Her hard exterior rarely softened. Tanner, the hero, seemed much more genuine and relatable. Overall, just not my cup of tea.
