If a man
tells you he’s no good for you, best heed the warning. I learned the hard way.
I had Jake Basson’s baby. He left to chase his dream. Now he’s back, demanding
a second chance, but why should I give him anything after four years of
nothing? No correspondence, no news. I finally have my life back on track. Jake
has never been uncomplicated. He never follows the rules. I should’ve known
he’d play dirty. He caught me once. I’m not going to let him catch me twice.
(Disclosure: This story contains
cheating. HEA guaranteed.)
I felt undeniable heartache over a choice I didn't make and couldn't change. Cath Me Twice is going to frustrate you. It's going to twist you up and make you angry. Empathetic readers like myself will consider castration as a viable means of anger therapy. Trust me, you would too. Unfortunately, Kristi has a more reasonable sense of justice even if she has lost all her bright eyed optimism.
Catch Me Twice is a second chance romance that does not cause swooning. No this romance is a long game after a devastating betrayal and utter abandonment. It's not the hearts and rainbows kind of book and that's why it makes my twisted heart soar. He deserved nothing but hate and he got anything but...
She deserves everything in life. FInally, she's going to get it! I felt the raw edges of this book gave it a "realness" and in turn have it an almost savageness. A ravenous form of hope that claws it's way through your back, ripping you to shreds, and then creeping into the hole of your chest cavity where it snuggles in to rest. Brutal and beautiful at the same time.
