Catch Me If You Can (Men of Rogue’s Hollow #3) by Donna Kauffman is a funny and delightful story that keeps you so entertained you can’t put the book down. I absolutely loved Tag’s story. Highly recommended.

2.5 stars
I did not find it as amazing at others did. But sometimes we win some and loosse some. I just did not care for the characters.

I simply love Donna Kauffman's writing and this book is a joy. In Catch Me if You Can she introduces a new setting, a lovely waterfall, and another visit to Blueberry Cove. She weaves together a story that blends deep friendships with interesting characters to create a lovely story.

This is an engrossing read. We get lots of time with Tag and Maura because they have many very involved conversations. We also get to peek into each one's thoughts in between conversations. And then we get to read their very sensual love scenes. It is all so absorbing and romantic that it is hard to put the book down to do anything else.

I loved the characters and the storyline development of this book. It was absolutely one of my favorites so far and I can't wait to delve in to the next one that this author writes. The storyline was simple, enjoyable, and entertaining.

This is a well written story of reconnecting with one's family history and the changes that TJ Morgan will make to his ordered and nomadic lifestyle. He travels to Scotland to view his late father's holdings and meets the lovely Maura Ramsey, who also guards her secrets well. I enjoyed their interactions and their new dependence on each other.

Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for an ARC; all opinions are my own.

I was glad to have given a chance to read this already printed book.

Tag was given a huge responsibility that he tried to run away with. However, it led him to the place where he supposed to be.

The first meet-up of Maura and Tag is truly destiny. It was cute but there was a misunderstanding.

I was glad that it was patched up as the story goes on.

Thank you Kensington and Netgalley for the ARC!

This is book 3 in the Men of Rogue's Hollow. It can be read as a stand alone but Tag's brothers have good stories also. Tag and his father parted ways many years ago with his dad's words, "You're dead to me" the last Tag heard. Now he's left with his dad's estate to settle with a surprise castle in Scotland that the brothers knew nothing about. Maura Sinclair is the keeper of the castle set in remote Scotland and has a very different picture of Tag's father. Now Tag is captivated with Maura and the land and the archeologist in him wants to explore the castle grounds. A nice romance with a few twists and turns. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is one of my all time favorite DK books, and sure to be yours too. The characters have passion, but also historical lore thrown in that really excited me. Made me want to visit this wonderland and go exploring myself! I really enjoyed the family dynamics with Tag not wanting to deal with this new burden of property but also struggling to realize his father might have had regrets about their relationship and the letters!!! Oh how I wish I had letters like these from my father. Precious. I also think the side characters were really fun and quirky. Anyways, I didn't want to give too much away so sorry if this review is vague but I think it's best to read it because it really is top 5 of my Donna list!!!!

Review featured at www.books-n-kisses.com

This is a reprint from 2005 that I had never read. And I will be honest and say having read most of Donna Kauffman’s books and especially the newer ones and I can see how she has grown as an author. But that being said it was still a great book.

I loved some of the scenes that are in the book, especially the first meeting of Tag and Maura. The story is sweet and humorous. It is a light read but enjoyable.

I love that this story was set in Scotland in a castle the boys father bought years ago and now Tag is responsible for. And he meets Maura who has been caring for the castle for years. And the romance begins.

Such a great story to sit back and enjoy. It isn’t a mindless read but it is a simple read.

I will have to go back and see if I missed this whole series and pick them up.

Disclaimer:
I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Tag, is going through all his much hated father's papers after he's passed.
Tag hated his father with a passion, for all the abuse growing up.
In the papers he finds a property located in Scotland. The land estate agent, is Moira.
Tag, meets Moira and his quick retreat home might be in jeopardy.

I'm a big fan of Kauffman. With consistently great well rounded characters and plots, I always feel like reading one of her novels is well worth my time. I'm always well entertained. Read the blurb for the context of the plot but trust me that you won't be disappointed by reading this tale.

When Tag unknowingly meets Maura on a snow covered mountain in Scotland, the last thing they expected was an instant spark. When Maura learns the real reason he is there their their spark turns into a flame of anger. Will they be able to tame the fire and find a solution?

This is a reprint of a previous Donna Kauffman book. It is the 3rd in the series but can be read as a stand alone. I did enjoy the realistic characters, the vivid descriptions and the authentic feel of this book. I have to be honest and say that I felt there were a few different spots where this book lost my attention., but quickly regained it.

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to provide my honest opinion of this story!

Donna Kauffman creates a magnificent decrepit castle. Both of the main characters were vividly portrayed and both tugged at my heart. I cheered for them as soon as I met them. Their responses to the difficulties the author plagued them with felt realistic and believable. The surprise at the end was an excellent solution.

Tags father used to try to beat him into being high classes. Tag is death to his father and none of his brothers are close to him.tags father left him everything. Too slow paced for me.

This is a reprint of an earlier Donna Kauffman book from 2004. I have been reading Donna Kauffman’s books for more than five years. I love her style of writing. However, when reading this book I can see that it was part of her earlier endeavors. Her writing is so much better all these years later.

I really liked the characters in this story as well as the story line. While this is a third in a series about the men of Rogues Hollow you can definitely read this as a stand alone. This is a typical chick lit book, entertaining and doesn't make you think too hard. It had emotions, humor, good wit, some intense moments, steamy scenes, and some page-turning dialog. This is a cuddle-up, rainy-day kinda read and something good for passing time. I wouldn't mind reading more in this series and see how the other brothers met their matches and their stories.

I would like to thank the publisher, Donna Kauffman and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

First, this is a reprint from a release in 2004. Next I felt the beginning dragged. Setting up the characters and storyline for a chic lit romance was much too long. Last, I was not pulled into the relationships or story. Best thing is knowing Donna Kauffman has improved so much since this was written than you can skip this book and read her new books.

5 - "Forever entwined…" Stars!

Donna Kauffman turned up the heat with Catch Me If You Can, hands-down the sexiest book of hers I have read. The Men of Rogue’s Hollow certainly know how to charm a woman out of her panties, whether trapped in a car in a snowstorm, or staying in a rambling old castle that holds more than a few secrets.

"You’re fun to play with…"

Tag Morgan was hoping to sort out his dying father’s estate and get back to his life, unbeknownst to him his father has been secretly funnelling cash to a falling down castle estate in Ballantrae, Scotland. The letters that Maura Sinclair, the overseer of the estate has sent his father over the last couple of years leave him all sorts of intrigued, enough so that he jumps on a plane to see how things are for himself.

"Would ye claim me already..."

This story gets the sexy going pretty much from the time these two join each other on the page and it doesn’t really let up until the end. I love Donna’s books generally but releases from latter years have a more polished feel to them in relation to the sexy times, whereas Catch Me If You Can was down, dirty, raw and descriptive, made me want to go back and discover more of the authors works from the early 2000’s to see if they follow suit.

"We have things to work out, you and I… And there’ll be emotions involved and it’ll get messy."

I have everything crossed that the publisher has plans to re-release the other three novellas in this series, whether it be as single titles or a box-set, I’d be all over it like chocolate on a profiterole if they do, as I am dying to get more intimately acquainted with the rest of the Morgan brothers.

Donna Kauffman is excellent in developing her characters and drawing you in to their lives - and big brawny handsome men are always fun to find the details that make it entertaining. Tag Morgan has come home to join his brothers in the reading of their father's will. #1 he had no idea that his father had property in Scotland that his forefathers had left when they relocated in Rouge's Hollow in Blue Ridge Mountains USA three hundred years ago. . #2 he had never heard of Maura Sinclair, but the letters she had written to his father started his journey to find this different view and side of his father that he never knew existed. Tag is an anthropologist and did not follow his father's plan. Maura Sinclair had a really bad day. Between her best friend and her boyfriend, she was on the road in a snowstorm. And the perfect way to bring these two together while not knowing they were destined to meet because of Tag's father. Great story, keeps you interested to the last word.
