Talk about the perfect guy - Tyler is almost too good to be true in this book! That’s really the premise of this light, funny and hard to put down book. The story follows Leah and Tyler, two neighbors who have combustible chemistry from the moment they meet (which is a hysterical meet cute featuring a cat named Mouse). Much of the book is told from Leah’s perspective, and she’s not sure what to think about the amazing and sexy guy who lives next door to her. Tyler keeps inviting himself over, they cook dinner every night, spend nearly every free minute together and she swears he keeps flirting with her... but he never tries to kiss her pursue anything more. She’s tired of men who play games with her feelings, so Leah decides to wait him out and see if he is actually interested in more.
This book doesn’t play by the rules of the typical romance novel - our couple spends scene after scene together, leading with friendship and establishing a deep connection. I found myself looking at the progress bar on my Kindle thinking, whoa how are they so close already? I’m not sure how to describe it, but this book moves at its own speed and that really kept me on my toes. There were times when I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop because I liked Tyler so much - and Leah feels the same way. When NetGalley offered me an ARC in exchange for an honest review, I recognized this author but had never read any of her books before. I will definitely be changing that in the future, because her writing is great and the characters are extremely likeable and relatable.

Sigh. It has been a long time since I read a book with an Alpha in it and Tyler was all Alpha! Loved the way he wormed his way in and would not take no for an answer, Leah was great too - she had been burnt before and was set that the next time that the man would do the chasing and chase Tyler did. They were great together and the family and friends were all great characters. This book was swoony romantic, with great humour and a little mystery thrown in. I will certainly be reading the next book in the series.

Catching Him is the highly anticipated first installment in the new rom com series called How to Catch an Alpha by the queen of insta love stories and OTT Alpha heroes - Aurora Rose Reynolds. This amazing book was the perfect mix of sexy, funny and entertaining. I loved everything about it - from the well-paced and engaging plot to the playful humor and the charming and intriguing characters. Aurora truly outdid herself here and delivered a story about a kind-hearted, sweet single woman in her early 30ies who has long ago given up hope of finding the one until she catches the attention of the hot guy living next door. The message of this story is that although we're all desperately searching for love, love sometimes finds us on its own when we least expect it. The dating scene these days is, to put it mildly, complicated and finding your soulmate is a true challenge. But regardless one shouldn't settle for less in order to not be alone.
Leah Emerson is a successful hairdresser and working along her mom and grandma in their salon. She is living with her naughty and full of attitude cat called Mouse. Since Leah is done making the moves in a relationship and all the game-playing and confusing mixed messages, she is currently not looking for a man. Although her next door neighbor is very tempting with his smiles, possessive touches and stolen kisses.
Tyler Duncan moved from Tennessee to Mount Pleasant, a small town in South Carolina, after a friend of his who owns a construction company offered him a job as a foreman. Tyler is cocky, charming and he always goes for what he wants in his life with a steadfast determination. And he wants Emerson - heart and mind. Even his dog Bruce adores her. But Tyler is not the only one wanting her. He needs to convince Leah to trust him and to prove that he's a guy worth falling for.
I'm so besotted with the hero and heroine of this fantastic story. They were such interesting and relatable characters. Leah is so loving and caring - with her pet, friends, family and customers at work. She has everybody under her magical spell without even realising it. Leah is a woman you would want as a best friend; who is reliable and always there when you need her without asking questions. No wonder that Tyler wanted her from the moment he met her. And trust me guys their first encounter was absolutely hilarious and one of my favorite scenes in the book. I appreciated that Tyler made such an effort to win Leah over without beating around the bush. He knew that she was worth it. I truly worship the ground Tyler walks on. He is loyal, hard-working, honest. Leah describes him as "every hope, dream, and wish wrapped up in the perfect man". Therefore it's not surprising that she fell head over heals for him. I loved their flirty banter and the intimacy between them. Their sizzling chemistry inside and outside the bedroom will set your reading device on fire!
Catching Him is hands down a read you don't want to miss out on. It's a must for every avid rom com reader who also loves a little bit of suspense factor thrown into the romance. I'm already hooked on this series and can't wait for the next book. I'm sure that Aurora will as always knock our socks off with her incredible talent. I'm giving this gem 5+ well deserved stars.

I just finished reading one of the funniest, sweetest and just overly perfect love stories I ever had the pleasure to read, Catching Him, from the amazingly talented Aurora Rose Reynolds. When I heard that she was writing another series for Montlake Romance, I was on the edge of my seat waiting to get my hands on it. And let me tell you that it was worth the wait! Aurora nailed this book in every sense of the word and proved once again, why she is the queen of happily ever alpha romance! I wonder every time how she comes up with all these characters and plot lines and always strives to give her readers her best work. I more than enjoyed being immersed into this story about two people unexpectedly finding love in their early thirties. Both didn't play any games and knew exactly what they wanted. I hate nothing more than too much unnecessary drama. But luckily there was nothing like that here!
Leah Emerson is young, beautiful and single. She's a successful hair stylist with an own house and a naughty cat called Mouse. Looking for a man is not high on her priorities list. It's not like all women need a man to be happy, right?! Especially not such as cocky and arrogant Tyler Duncan. This delicious guy is way too charming and sexy for his own good. After a disastrous first encounter, Leah hopes to never see him again. But unfortunately for her, he’s her new neighbor next door and can't be easily avoided. Especially not after he shows up constantly at her door with his cute dog Bruce.
Tyler Duncan was always determined and never had problems going after the things he wanted. He's recently moved from Tennessee for his new job at a construction company. From the moment he meets his stunning neighbor, he decides to make her his. Unfortunately for him, someone else wants Leah too. Tyler will do everything in his power to protect the woman he’s falling in love with, while proving he’s the kind of guy worth falling for. Can their new found happiness prevail against all odds?
Oh boy how much I adored Tyler. He was the epitome of an alpha male: sexy, confident, protective and possessive. And to top that all, he was good with kids and animals. Marriage material anyone?!? I would have said yes to him in a heartbeat. The way he loved and cared about Leah made me swoon hard.
Leah was sweet, compassionate and a little impulsive. But Tyler loved that about her. She was a loyal, gentle soul with a big heart and the best auntie to her niece and nephews. I loved her so much! She deserved a guy like Tyler in her life. Their chemistry was out of this world!!!
Aurora didn't only create two perfect main characters, but also some loveable side characters like her best friend Cassie, her parents and her two brothers! Even the pets were adorable and made me laugh out loud. I strongly encourage everyone to read this amazing book! I promise you, it will be worth your time and money. I'm putting this beauty on my most favorite reads shelf and giving it 5 stars.

This story is perfect.
Tyler is alpha male goals.
Leah is strong and kind.
Aurora gave me a place to escape where I laughed, swooned, and felt amazing.
With a smile on my face and my heart soaring I devoured this HEA.
If you are in a book slump, or looking for something to sweep you off your feet, then looks no further than Catching Him.

I really enjoyed Catching him the first instalment of Aurora's new series.
It was very sweet, Tyler OMG! he is just adorable but at the same time still very Alpha.
I really liked Leah she was sweet and full of love wanting the best for everyone but it wasnt over the top or annoying like some sweet female characters can be.
I found the story very heartwarming, funny and very easy to follow and read.
I did read it in one sitting.

If read ARR, you know how her books play out. Tyler and Leah were cute, maybe too cute. There was a little biota drama, but nothing HUGE.

I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review. Leah has a crazy cat that just doesn’t want to stay inside. As she chases him into the house next door she shocked to find her new neighbor. Neither Leah nor her neighbor Tyler were looking for love but her crazy cat and his adorable dog seem to have other ideas. While she initially wasn’t impressed with Tyler’s attitude she can’t help falling her him. While his is an alpha male he truly is the ideal boyfriend all women want, smart, successful, nice and lets face it, sexy. There are lots of steamy scenes between the two but also lots of laughs. This is a nice quick read with plenty of heat to keep you happy and a nice HEA. 5 stars

This was very cute. I enjoy a story where a hero goes after what he wants! Tyler was swoon worthy for sure! Thanks to netgalley for the ARC!

OMIGOSH!! What an incredible start to this new series. ARR remains the QUEEN of ALPHA men. Catching Him is sooo freaking fun. I loved everything about it. Tyler is the new guy in town. He appears to be the typical alpha he's the hot construction worker with the big dog and big truck. He's not typical though he's the right amount of alpha and that big dog of his is a big softie. Leah is the cute, sassy hometown hairdresser with a trouble maker cat. From their first meeting, these two had me cracking up. They have the back and forth banter that I LOVE. I enjoyed the storyline and the secondary characters. I can't wait for more!! She might as well take my money now because these babies will be on my shelf. I can't hide my orders though, the packages are lovely, which is why my husband can always recognize them.

I love this author’s books and this one did not disappoint. The relationship between Leah & Tyler was brilliant and is was great to read a book with a happy relationship, where they are committed to each other without major conflicts.
I’m looking forward to more books in this new series, there was a couple of supporting characters who I’m sure will make great follow up books.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc,

I absolutely love Aurora Rose Reynolds books and this one is no different. Catching Him is funny, sweet, cute and had a little bit of drama sprinkled in to keep me interested. I love a sweet alpha male and that's exactly what Tyler is. I loved Leah, she stood up for herself and she was very relatable. I can't wait for the next book in this series!

If there is one authors books I look forward to reading, it’s Aurora’s!! She has a way with her writing that captures the readers eyes, and pretty much captures their mind until they finish reading (at least this is what happens to me)
I LOVED catching him, I loved how Leah and Tyler first met, the instant chemistry when they first saw each other. It’s a funny, lovable story with added gorgeous alpha-ness and lickable abs!! I can’t wait for more in this series!!

A nice romance novel to read after work. I loved that he gave them time to get to know each other as friends before they decided that they wanted more. That Charles was the one behind the fire and break in was a bit too predictable. But the characters are well written and it's a very sweet book. Tyler is just swoon worthy. How he's there for her and brings her food is plain adorable. The chemistry between the characters was definitely there and I really enjoyed reading it.

3.5
Aaaah!!! Too cute!! Sometimes I thought that the characters and the way everything worked out was <i>too</i> perfect, but everyone needs a light read every now and then :)
I loved Leah- she's someone with a lot of love to give and isn't afraid to show it, which I admire a lot. She was also super relatable!! I don't usually highlight lines in my books, but I found myself doing this a lot because of her! I also gained a lot of respect for her when I realised that she wasn't afraid to stand up for anyone- and that includes herself. So, as you can see, it was hard not to root for a happy ending for her.
As for Tyler...like I said, he was maybe too perfect for me to get fully invested in him, but he was definitely a good guy who adored Leah and that was nice to see.
The support system the two of them had was heartwarming. I love the banter between big families, and I also adore seeing such loving people being loved and supported in return.
The book moved a bit slow in the middle, but the cuteness of Leah and Tyler got me through it. Overall, a light and easy read that I would recommend to people who want a dose of absolute cuteness!!

Holy moly was this another great read from Aurora Rose Reynolds! Fantastic characters that you either want to be, or want to be friends with! Loved how this book didn't let me go. Full of alphaness that doesn't relent, suspense that I love, and humor galore. A must-read!

This was an awesome story. It is written a little different than other stories from this author but it absolutely work and I fell in love with both main characters Tyler and Leah. The main star of this story is Leah and I would say her supporting cast was lead by Tyler. Most of the book was Rose and only closer to the end do we start to see Tyler's thoughts.
I did think the bad guy in this story was super obvious and I didn't have a clue why his name never came up with the cops. But otherwise I loved this story and I loved when he was finally caught.
I loved seeing both characters families and the challenges related to that. THe supporting characters from friends to family members really enriched this story and I loved them so much. I cannot wait for more stories in this series and who the author writes about next.

5 STAR READ!!!
I love a good book where there is little drama and a hot sexy alpha male. Leah and Tyler are amazing as a couple. No games are played when those two get together and I LOVE that!
Tyler and Leah come together in an odd way. Let’s just say their pets, Bruce and Mouse, definitely have a role in how their owners meet and inevitably fall in love <3.
Of course, there is a little suspense in the story, which I like. It brings out the alpha in Tyler and makes you swoon so hard for him.
Aurora Rose Reynolds has a way of bring the characters together and having them ignite on page. Her Heroes and Heroines are always on fire, so much so, that you can literally feel the love they have as you read page after page.
I cannot wait to find out who the next couple in this series is; I know I will love them just as much, if not more :)

Catching Him was a really cute and sweet story of a budding romance between neighbors Leah and Tyler. Leah is a hair dresser, not willing to settle in her romantic relationships, but hoping the right one is out there. Tyler is an alpha contractor who instantly knows what he wants when he meets Leah, and does everything he needs to in order to make her his.
I really liked both Leah and Tyler as the main characters. Leah is strong and independent and also caring and compassionate. I also really enjoyed how much Bruce loved her and sought her out and waited for her to come home each day. The animals in this book were so cute and made the book even more enjoyable. Tyler is a hard worker who is sexy, has a take charge attitude, but is also protective and caring and totally swoon-worthy. He also got along great with Leah's family, which was awesome.
The drama/surprises in the book were really pretty predictable, hence the four stars, but I did read the book in one sitting and found it to be very engaging and a very enjoyable read and I would definitely recommend it.

Great book!! I loved it! This is Leah and Tyler book, Leah is looking for the right man, she’s tired of all the arrogant stuck up jerks her mother thinks are a great catch! Her new cocky hottie way to good looking neighbor is not what she’s looking for either! Now only if her cat would stop jumping through his window! Tyler moved to Town for a new job and a new chance at life. His dog seems to be infatuated with his new neighbor! And after he gets a good look at her? Tyler is right there with his dog! Lol unfortunately someone else want Leah too! This book was great!! I definitely enjoyed reading this one! I thought this series was going to be all short stories (which I don’t read) I was so so happy to see that this was a novel!!! I love Aurora writing!! She’s just as sweet in person lol don’t miss out on this one! It’s well worth the read! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
