Release Blitz with Review: The Catch by K. Bromberg

      After an unexpected twist of fate, All-Star catcher Easton Wylder is left questioning the loyalty of everyone around him. Even the woman who shares his bed, Scout Dalton. But if Easton thought being uprooted to the last place he expected was the only challenge life had to throw at him, he was dead wrong. With an ailing shoulder and his career in limbo, his decision to make an unexpected change leads him to question everything – Scout’s love, family loyalties, and whether he can conquer the one obstacle he’s never been able to overcome. The secret he’s never shared with anyone. He may be a man pushed to his limits, but he’s hell-bent on proving his worth no matter the cost.

Review






The Catch resumes the series right where the cliffhanger left off in The Player . Scout is stuck in an impossible position-torn between family obligation and an the man who means everything to her. Easton's career, her job security, and her father's lifelong dream all hang in the balance with one choice. With no time to debate or weigh the pros and cons, she did what she thought was best for everyone involved. And everything around her promptly started to crumble.

After finally healing from his injury, Easton was eager to step back into the game he loved so much. But nothing went at all as he had anticipated and he was left feeling lost, angry, and betrayed. He had no idea who he could trust, and for a while there, I wasn't sure myself. There was a mysterious quality to this book that I really enjoyed. Always left guessing over characters' intentions and whether they were hiding something. And make no mistake, there were plenty of secrets to be found. One a little too predictable, and others took me by surprise.

I did get frustrated with Easton in this installment. While a lot of his anger and frustration was completely warranted, I didn't particularly like that he was using Scout as his personal whipping boy. He came off as sulky and self-centered, not caring at all about what she was going through. He said some mean and nasty things to her, even after realizing that she had always only had his best interests at heart. When she put her own important life goals on the line in order to do what she thought was best for him. Luckily, he snapped out of his selfish behavior, and got his priorities straight.

“I love you.” And right there— three simple fucking words and I’m a dead man. A total goner to this woman who is a mess of contradictions and who unexpectedly stole my heart along the way.

Scout was a great heroine. Her loyalty to her father, and her determination to make his dreams a reality were really touching. She was willing to do whatever it took for him to be happy and at peace, even at the expense of her own happiness. But she also knew how to stand her ground against him, and speak her mind when he was being unfair to her. I also loved seeing how supportive she was of Easton when a certain truth came out about him that he had never trusted with anyone else. When that one secret was revealed, it was kind of like a key puzzle piece clicking into place. Several elements of the plot that had been foreshadowed very subtly became crystal clear. And it was really very heartbreaking what he had been dealing with for so long, all alone.

“I want to drown in you tonight, Scout. I want to forget the world, forget what’s going to happen tomorrow, and drown in everything about you, starting now.

The hero's treatment of the heroine wasn't my favorite and it wasn't just one isolated incident. So that did alter my rating because it started to grate on my nerves that he was treating her so unfairly. After she put everything she'd been working towards for so long on the line for him.

I can't get into the plot too much more, because of the twists involved. But overall, it was a decent conclusion to the duet. This couple had some really sweet and steamy moments, and I will say, there was never a dull moment. They had so much opposition against them, but they weathered everything together and came out the other end much stronger.
