Love Catch by Laura Langa: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own.



The Book

Jilted at the game. Roommates by chance. Catching feelings by accident.

Humiliated after my MLB fiancé called off our engagement—in the middle of a baseball game, I did what any rational, rule-following girl would do: I climbed on top of the dugout to give him a piece of my mind.

I just didn’t expect to slip—or fall straight into the arms of Trevor Chapman.

Awkward? Totally. Except the team’s veteran catcher also happens to be my roommate. Trevor’s protective, patient, and ten years my senior—but I’m the one sharing custody of his rescue calico and handling the personal taxes for half of the Waves lineup.

To shake off my post-breakup funk, I make a list of adventures—and rope Trevor in. With every item we cross off, it’s harder to ignore that I’m catching feelings faster than Trevor snags fastballs.

I’ve already been burned by a Waves player, so letting myself fall again feels risky—even when Trevor has always been there to catch me.

Love Catch is a closed-door sports romcom featuring a jilted bride, her protective MLB roommate, and one very sweet calico rescue cat.
It’s perfect for readers who love playful banter and sizzling kisses with no third act breakup!

Book Review

I know hockey gets all the hype when it comes to sports romance... and honestly, I do get it, I love it too. But lately? Baseball romance has been making its way to the top of my favorites... and when it's also written by one of my favorites!? I had high expectations... and it absolutely did not disappoint. Right from that perfect catch, Trevor and Kenzie absolutely stole my heart. That first chapter drew me in, but when we get to his POV and see the pining? Oh my goodness! It was just so perfectly done! I loved the back and forth of wondering when they were finally going to cross that friendship line... the interrupted moments kept me hanging on... and that first kiss!? Wow! (Seriously, the chemistry between these two! Every kiss was perfection!) And once we finally do see them get together, there is still plenty to keep things interesting. I loved how these two cared for one another. The way she shows up for him (and the lengths she'll go to do so)? It was equal parts sweet and hilarious, and I couldn't get enough. If you love baseball romance and sweet rescue cats, this is absolutely one NOT to be missed! I loved it! 

Love Catch is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is part of The Love Playbook series, a multi-author series that can be enjoyed in any order.
