Reynolds' Guide to Catching Him
In my newest book, Catching
Him, Leah Emmerson is over men who can’t commit and she is determined to
find a man who is willing to chase her for once. When she meets Tyler Duncan
she’s not sure she likes him, however, once she gets his attention he makes it
clear that he wants her. Tyler goes out of his way to make Leah his and
prove that he’s the kind of guy she should be with. The task isn't easy; Leah
has built up walls because of her past relationships, but after getting to know
Tyler as a friend she realizes that he’s the perfect catch.
I’m here to give you some
advice on how to catch an alpha male, this method is tried and true.
Step one.
Ignore the hot guy. I know
this might seem a little crazy when you’re trying to actually catch a hot guy,
but I’m telling you now that for whatever reason the more you ignore him the
more he will come around.
Step two.
Avoid danger, however, if
you do get into trouble be open and honest with the hot guy. If he's worth
your time then he will step up to protect you.
Step three.
Don’t be afraid if things go
fast.
Step four.
This step is the simplest of
them all: Believe him when he says he loves you and go on to live happily ever
after.

Catching Him Excerpt
“Is that any good?”
I look at him with my mouth
full and raise a brow as I chew and swallow. “Did you just ask if Fruity
Pebbles is any good? Have you ever had it?”
“I haven’t eaten cereal
since I was a kid. The only kind my ma ever bought for us was Cheerios, and not
the real kind—the kind that comes in the family-size bag.”
“Here.” I lift a full spoon
up toward him, and he looks down at it. “Don’t be a chicken; just try it.”
He leans forward, and his
lips wrap around the spoon I’m holding, the sight way more erotic than it
should be. He chews and swallows, shaking his head. “It’s . . .”
“Delicious,” I finish for
him. “Do you want some more?”
“I’m good.” He laughs. “I am
worried that you’re eating that for dinner.”
“Why? It’s fruit and dairy,”
I deadpan, and he laughs again.
“Whatever you say, gorgeous.
Tomorrow I’ll make you breakfast so your body has the fuel it needs before we
get to work.”
I haven’t forgotten I’m
spending the day with him tomorrow, pretending to help him paint his kitchen.
I’ve been thinking about it all day today. I’ve been thinking about him all
day today, actually. I really am starting to like him, even if he has the
ability to annoy me like no one else I have ever met in my life.
“Will there be bacon?” I set
my bowl on the coffee table, then lean back against the couch, looking at him.
“Is that your roundabout way
of saying you want bacon?”
“Yep.”
“Then I guess there will be
bacon.”
“Now I can’t wait for
breakfast.” I smile at him when he grins. “I do have to leave around four, or
maybe a little earlier, so I can shower and change to get to my parents’ place
for Sunday dinner.”
“Sunday dinner?”
“Yeah, do you want to
come?” Crap, why the heck did I just ask him that? I didn’t
mean to. It just came out before I could stop it. “I mean . . .”
“Sure,” he agrees.
“Oh . . . okay. Awesome.” I
bite the inside of my cheek. My mom is going to flip her lid—not in a bad way.
She’s going to be so happy I’m bringing a man with me that she will probably
start knitting baby booties. Not that she knits. She’ll probably just order
some off Amazon for free two-day delivery.
“You don’t want me to go?”
He tugs that piece of hair he hasn’t stopped playing with, and I turn my head.
“It’s not that. I just . . .
well, I’ve never invited someone to Sunday dinner. I mean, I have, but not a
guy. My parents and brothers might assume . . .” I look away at his smirk, and
my face gets warm. “It’s just . . .” I blow out a breath. “You know how parents
and siblings are.”
“We’re friends. I’m new in
town, and we’re neighbors.”
“Right,” I agree, even
though it’s a little disappointing to think he’s not interested in me and that
the comments he’s made haven’t been a lead-up to something more—that something
more being him fricking kissing me. But maybe that’s just him . . . maybe he
flirts with everyone.
“I don’t have to come if
you’re going to be uncomfortable.”
I turn to look at him once
more. “You’re right. We’re just friends and neighbors; it won’t be a big deal.”
“Hmm.”
Okay, what does that mean?
Never mind. I don’t want to know. I focus on the TV and not so much on him
playing with my hair or sitting so close that the weight of him on my couch
forces us even closer together.
“You should go to bed.
You’ve yawned three times in as many minutes,” he tells me.
“I need to know if Bethenny
is going to tell Luann about her husband being with another woman,” I say,
keeping my eyes glued to the TV.
“I’m sure you can google it
if you really need to know.”
“True.” I yawn again, and my
eyes water.
“Come on.” He stands, then
pulls me up with him off the couch. “Walk me to the door, then go on to bed.”
He walks to the door and stops with his hand on the handle, then looks at
Bruce, who hasn’t gotten up. “Bud, come on. Time to go home.”
“Come on, big guy.” I pat my
thighs, and he comes instantly, and I laugh as Tyler grumbles under his breath.
“I’ll see you tomorrow,” I tell Bruce, hugging him around his furry neck, and
then I stand and look at his dad. “When do you want me?”
His eyes change ever so
slightly, and I swear he’s going to say something dirty, but he doesn’t. “Nine
thirty or ten.”
“Okay,” I agree.
He touches his fingers to my
cheek, then opens the door and steps out onto the porch. “Bruce, come,” he
calls when Bruce doesn’t follow him. I giggle, and he shakes his head as I push
Bruce outside with my hands on his rump. “See you in the morning, babe.”
“Mmm-hmm.” I watch him walk
down the stairs and roll my eyes when he orders me into my house and to lock
the door. I do what he asks, only because I want to, but I still watch him
through the window as he and Bruce walk across the grass between his yard and
mine and up to his front door. When he’s inside, I go back to the TV and turn
it off, then get in bed, where eventually I fall asleep thinking about the guy
next door.

Summary
Leah Emerson isn’t looking
for a man—she’s looking for the right man. But her mother’s idea of a great
catch leaves her cold, and she’s pretty sure her cocky, arrogant, and way too
good-looking new neighbor isn’t the one either. If only her wayward cat would
stop jumping through his window, she could get on with her life.
Tyler Duncan moved into town
for a new job, not to fall in love. But he always goes after the things he
wants in life with steadfast determination . . . and he wants Leah
Emerson. He wants her smiles, he wants her touch, and he definitely wants her
in bed.
Unfortunately, someone else
wants Leah—in the worst way. Now Tyler’s on a mission to protect the woman he’s
falling in love with while proving he’s worth falling for, and Leah must decide
whether Tyler is a catch worth catching . . .
My Thoughts…
Hot neighbor moves in, you
pretend to ignore him after meeting him in the most embarrassing way. Any reader knows where this is going to
lead and they won’t be wrong. The heat
is obvious, the spark is hot, and the attraction is there.
I loved that this book wasn’t
just about falling into bed. The story
is told with Tyler being a gentleman.
He woo’s and wins her over, meets her parents, stands up to those who
are not respectful to her, and he shows her that he is in for the long run. I also loved that Leah didn’t just blow him
off, she let him win her over all while keeping her standards high and
expecting him to meet them. She
respected him, trusted him, and gave him all of her when the timing was
right.
Catching Him is a quick and
easy book to read. Once I started, I
finished it within a few hours and was excited to see what would come next in
this series.
