Publisher Warning: This book contains the troupe insta-love. While some find it a romantic idea, it’s understandable that others may not. If Hallmark, meet-cute, insta-love is not your style, then this book is not for you. This book is fiction, and not meant to resemble real life but more of a modern-day Cinderella story. Originally released on Valentine’s Day, it was written to give all the sweet romantic feels with a swoon worthy hero who says all the right things at all the right times when he meets and instantly falls for a woman who can do no wrong in his eyes. And although baseball is a theme, it is more of a secondary backdrop to their love story.

This was a very intense book where the insta-love was believable but like barely. I typically don’t reach for those so maybe that’s why I didn’t enjoy this as much. The plot itself is good and I love baseball irl so seeing that world in a book was great. There is like one major ‘curveball” to the plot.
This book was hot, hot, hot though. So if you’re looking for that, you came to the right place.

I was invested in this book from the very beginning. Evelyn Montgomery is a new to me author and I really loved her writing style.
I loved Rochelle, she was so unconfident in the beginning but how she grew when she started to believe in herself with the love of Hunter. She had a terrible life from childhood and was bullied for where she lived. However, Hunter changed her, he saw her, and loved her for being as she was. He too had a pretty traumatic time as a kid. I loved his character too, he might have grown up with all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood but he hated it and shunned it. The chemistry between Rochelle and Hunter was super hot and this provided a good amount of steamy scenes. I loved the story and character development and the unexpected twist. I didn’t see that happening at all! This story shows that no matter how much or how little money you have, love is what matters the most.
5 stars for Catch by Evelyn Montgomery. I was asked to review this book and I am glad I was. All opinions stated are my own. This is a sports romance, but it has a bit of a twist. It is also an opposite attract type story. Hunter is the rich baseball player. Rochelle is a poor girl who has had a rough life. When Hunter first saw Rochelle he knows she is going to be his. Rochelle doesn’t think anyone like Hunter could want her, they are just too different. All is not as it seem though. This is filled with insta-love romance, and a lot of drama. I loved every second of this book. I am looking forward to reading more from Evelyn Montgomery .
Hunter and Rochelle are 5 star, one-click worthy!!!! Evelyn Montgomery has written a brilliant sports romance!!! This one will definitely go into my permanent to be re-read pile!!!!!

Rochelle Thomas grew up with others putting her down, always made to feel like “white trash”. She tries to keep her head down and do what needs to be done in order to take care of her housebound mother.
Enter Hunter Alexander, a college baseball star who grew up in an affluent Hollywood family. The moment he sees Rochelle, his Angel, he know that they are meant to be together.
They come from completely different worlds and both have the people closest to them pointing out that they are too different. But their fierce connection has them fighting for the love that neither of them ever expected.
This new adult romance is an insta-love story full of heat and passion. Hunter is persistent and loyal and definitely book boyfriend material
There were some twists that I wasn’t expecting to keep things interesting since the romance happens so early on.
I found both H/H to be a little dramatic at times, but both characters were developed in a way that it made sense that they fought so hard for what they wanted.
This insta-love, college romance story definitely had a lot of steamy scenes in it. The story was a bit confusing at times but I kept going and I’m glad I did because the plot twist at the very end of the book was worth finishing it and the reason it got four stars.
Hunter and Rochelle are my new favorite couple!! They are absolutely made for each other. After losing a bet, Hunter meets Rochelle. Their connection is instantaneous. Meeting Rochelle changes Hunter’s life. Rochelle is a hard working, poor woman from the wrong side of the tracks, taking care of her mom. She has responsibilities. Hunter is a handsome, wealthy baseball player. Hunter instantly has an attraction to Rochelle. Rochelle doesn’t understand what he sees in her. Their story is filled with angst, people trying to keep them apart, family drama ect. Will love conquer everything?? Will they acheive their happiness?? Will their instant love connection last forever?? I loved this book! Can’t wait for what comes next with this author!!
This was a sweet insta-love story between Hunter, a rich and talented baseball player, and Rochelle a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. There’s a few twists throughout the story that kept the plot moving forward and has us question weather these two characters can overcome everything thrown into their paths. Hunter is probably one of the sweetest and kindest hero’s I’ve ever read making this love story so incredibly pure as he falls for Rochelle despite their differences. This story shows us what it means to not let your past or circumstances define who you are and the life that you deserve.
Hunter and Rochelle met one day when he lost a bet and goes to a salon to get his hair cut and in an instant Hunter is absolutely smitten with her. Rochelle grew up poor, has worked extremely hard for all she has, and has been taking care of her mother all her life. So, when Hunter decides to pursue her she just doesn’t understand what a guy like him would want with a girl like her and from the wrong side of town. Hunter falls hard and fast for Rochelle and he never once questions it. He may come from money, but all he wants is to play baseball and live happily ever after with Rochelle, but outside forces keep trying to mess with their relationship. Other people and drama keep trying to keep them a part, but they have a strong bond and Hunter will fight for their forever no matter what. I loved this book and Hunter because once he knew what he wanted out of life he never hesitated or questioned it. There is a lot of twists and turns, ups and downs can their love survive the drama or will they let it come between them?
I totally fell in love with Hunter and Rochelle. The plot was really good with twist and turns you didn’t see coming! Some where shockers! I felt Rochelle was a little immature; however, I contribute that to her mother. The chemistry between Hunter and Rochelle was hot and steamy! I recommend reading this book. I hope a few secondary characters get their stories told as well.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book.
Catch by Evelyn Montgomery is the first book by this author that I’ve read and I loved it!
Rochelle is a hair dresser and Hunter is the baseball player who’s got his heart set on her. Hunter feels an immediate connection when he locks eyes with shy Rochelle. These two have an Insta-love but they are from opposite sides of the tracks, but that doesn’t diminish their connection. when Hunter decides to pursue her she just doesn’t understand what a guy like him would want with a girl like her and from the wrong side of town. Hunter falls hard and fast for Rochelle, he may come from money, but all he wants is to play baseball and live happily ever after with Rochelle. I loved this book and Hunter because once he knew what he wanted out of life he never hesitated or questioned it he went after it. My favourite part about the book was watching Rochelle ever so slowly come out of her shell.
She is a definite heroine, who finds herself in this book and grows into the woman that is absolutely irresistible to Hunter more and more every day. Hunter is completely swoon worthy and definitely has that alpha vibe going on. I fell in love with these two and kept finding myself rooting for them.
I absolutely loved the characters and their stories and backgrounds. Love can conquer all was one amazing theme of this book.
The ARC of this book was provided by NetGalley in exchange of an honest review
While I don’t usually mind insta-love stories, this one fell flat for me. Rochelle was so insecure trhat I found her to be annoying. While I liked Hunter a little better, I found there to be a lack of personal background information so I didn’t really connect with him. This was a slow burn romance that didn’t heat up until about half way. While it did get spicy, I didn’t feel any emotional chemistry between them. Also, I didn’t like how Hunter kept calling Rochelle “Angel”, almost as if he couldn’t remember her name. This was a DNF.
I received an advance reader’s copy from Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.
Hunter and Rochelle are I laughed and I cried. We have a mix of Hollywood and the south, every girls dream. Excellent read!
Loved this book and it came with a few surprises I didn’t except. Lots of romance but there was also suspense!! I enjoyed reading it.
OMGoodness!!!! This book was awesome! Rochelle and Hunters relationship had so many ups and downs that one would think it wouldn’t last!
Early on, Rochelles instilled in her that no one would ever love her as much as she did! But that was all a lie! Port Rochelles life was centers around nothing but lies!
She had a hard time trusting and believing anything good someone had to say about her or showed her! That’s why when she first meets Hunter, she is very shy and timid! She has no confidence and very low self esteem!
Hunter sees so much in her that he only wishes and strives to make her see! It’s no easy tasks because of the different upbringings! Still, he is determined to get the girl and make her know it’s real!
This book has it ALL, love, lies, secret, and even heartache! But with darkness comes light and Hunter is the light to Rochelles dark!
Great book!
I loved Hunter and Rochelle’s story. This is a great insta-love sports romance that will take you on a journey through the ups and downs of love and heartaches and will keep you turning the page from start to finish. Recommend.
My girl Evelyn hit it outta the park with this one
This was a different type for her but I loved it just the same! She is such an amazing writer!! She hooked me right from the prologue. I just had to know what happened.
The way that Hunter and Rochelle meet I just loved. The hopeless romantic in me just went all gaga eyes lol. Hunter was so swoony and sweet and I just loved him. How he just knew right away that he needed to know and meet this woman before him.
Rochelle reminded me of myself in ways. This poor girl, ugh she just broke my heart. I felt for her. But to be able to see her grow during the book. Then to see her open up to Hunter, just loved them.
5⃣
recommendation
I enjoyed this insta-love story very much. Although in a couple of spots I found it to be a little slow going I did enjoy the storyline alot. I found the characters were really engaging and interesting to read about. I didn’t see the twists and turns coming at all. A very good and enjoyable read.
Catch by @evelynm_author
4.5
This is my second book by Evelyn Montgomery and I loved it!!!! Catch is a heartwarming sport romance between a sweet girl and a rich boy. They have ab instant connection, and their chemistry out the charts. Hunter and Rochelle are made for each other despised their upbringing and life experiences. Hunter is a stubborn and possessive and once he laid eyes on Rochelle he knew he has to do every in his power to win her over. Rochelle on the other had has had a rough start in life and would never imagine a man like hunter will be interested in her. Nevertheless, their love flourished and conquered every twist in their way. Hunter was patient and loving allowing Rochelle to grow in self-confidence and self-esteem in order to be an equal in their relationship. The writer’s story telling abilities will hook you to this book, and it will have you flipping through pages filled with angst, sexy times, and a beautiful love story. Bonus point to all the baseball scenes.
PD Congrats to my beautiful friend Brittnie @bbloves_books for her input on the epilogue.
OMG where oh where can I find a man that will talked to me like Hunter does Rochelle and mean it like him?!?! I highly recommend this read, it only is it a wonderful romance that has plenty of dramatic twists and turns but the whole theme of Rochelle finally seeing her true worth and standing up for herself is perfect. Something we all need to do!
