Amy Lea writes such cute books and I’m sorry this trilogy of influencer books draws to a close with this book.
I love it when big burly grumpy bear like Evan encounters chic citified Melanie.
I liked that Melanie didn’t give up easily and learned how to make things works, unconventional or not.
I loved how Evan’s family was up in his business because I love to read about it but that drives me crazy in real life.
The ending was perfect. Evan’s daily habit is swoon worthy and the surprise he had for Melanie was just right!
While I’m sad to leave these characters I look forward to the next Lea serving!

had a little bit of a hard time getting into the book but once I hit like 25%, I was hooked! this was my first Amy Lea book but definitely will not be my last. I think I'll go back and read the others in this series!

I really, truly wanted to love this one, but I had the hardest time getting into it and then keeping interest in the two main characters. I listened to the first 35% and then had to pause and really didn't have a desire to go back and finish the book. When I finally did, the story was just too insta-love for my taste. I truly loved the first two books in this series, but this one missed the mark for me.

Such a fun story, I loved the small fishing town and that it was set in a country other than the US made it really stand out.

My first book by Amy Lea, and it won't be my last!

Mel is in a bit of a predicament after finding she'll have to look for another place to stay when she's traveling to Nova Scotia. There's no option to stay at except for a B&B, who's owned by. a very grumpy man. The two can't stand each other at all, even more so when an accident that's entirely Mel's fault lands Evan at the hospital. But things take an interesting turn when Evan's estranged family arrives and think Mel is Evan's fiance. Deciding to keep up the ruse, Mel and Evan pretend they're engaged in order to continue having Evan's family around.

I gotta love a fake relationship between enemies! Reading about them slowly getting feelings for each other always has me so giddy, and Amy did a wonderful job at it! Add to that the grumpy-sunshine trope and I was sold!

Probably my favorite influencer book of the bunch. I was left a little disappointed from book 2, but this one certainly made up for it. I truly felt bad for Mel. I know she has great friends in Crystal and Tara, but I could really see how isolated she felt from her life. It read strongly throughout the book and it was something she had to work on. I love that she was high maintenance and fell in love with this tiny fishing town and just really made it a home. I am also terrified of spiders.

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would! I really enjoyed Mel getting to know Evan and the Whaler family, even though the situation was absurd and they all acknowledged it as such. I really loved how much Mel grew and the way that her and Evan defrosted towards each other and compromised in the end. Although I really liked the way that Mel and Julian’s sibling relationship was written, I did not like the fact that Evan never apologized for not texting Mel when he knew she would be extremely worried and for not following through on his promise to house-sit for her when they had their conversation. Other than that, this was a really fun book and I will continue to read Amy Lea!

Loved this story. Characters are interesting and fun, but there was also depth to the story. Would definitely recommend!

This was such a great book! Amy Lea has definitely become one of my favorite authors and I always get excited when I see she has a new book coming out! When reading this book I felt like I was in the small coastal Canadian town with the characters. It did take me a little bit to get into the book, but after that I was hooked! There’s so many great tropes in this book too! There’s grumpy x sunshine, fake engagement, and opposites attract. If you haven’t read this book yet and you’re a fan of mild open door romances, I recommend checking this book out!

Thank you Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have read the previous books in this series and I was so excited to read this arc. Lea is a brilliant romcom writer that writes such realistic stories. I loved the MCs so much and the story was so sweet. I love me a HEA!

It took me just over halfway to really get on board with this one but overall a pretty solid read! I think probably #2 in my ranking of Amy Lea's INFLUENCER series. I definitely know which customers to recommend this to at work. ◡̈

Amy Lea is back with the third book in the influencer series, the Catch! Melanie is a Boston based influencer who finds herself in rural, coastal Canada after a snafu with her reservation at a new resort is mixed up. She finds the only available room at a run down bed and breakfast and much is operated by the world’s grumpiest, yet handsome Canadian.

Melanie decides to make lemonade out of lemons and salvage what she can from her trip. She convinces Evan to take her in a boat trip so she can get some content photos, but she moves boating equipment so she can get better photos and Evan has an accident. In the hospital, Melanie can’t see Evan unless she’s family and she tells everyone she’s his fiancée. Evan and Melanie decide to work together for one week to help Evan’s family and he agrees to help her with content.

I enjoyed this fish out of water story! I find myself much like Melanie who needs creature comforts in nature. I enjoyed all the Canadian parts of the book such as Evan sharing poutine with Mel. I enjoyed the big city girl in small town. This had the perfect amount of spice for me too!

Thank you @amyleabooks @berkleypub and @prhaudio for my gifted book. The Catch is out now!

Short synopsis: Mel (a beauty and lifestyle influencer) gets a sponsorship to travel to Nova Scotia to review a hotel, but there’s a misunderstanding in the travel dates and she ends up staying at an Inn in small town Coral Cove with the grumpy Evan.

My thoughts: I’ve really enjoyed this influencer series and I’m sad to see it come to an end. These friends were so sweet and supportive of each other and I really liked seeing them pop up in each others stories.

I’ve always been a fan of Grumpy/Sunshine, and this is fun because it’s also Opposites attract! She’s always dressed to the nines with fake lashes, and Evan wears plaid everything. I liked watching them compromise and find similarities in each other.

The small fishing town was such a fun location, and the people including Evan’s family was so loving and supportive.

Read if you love:
- Fake fiancé
- Grumpy/Sunshine and opposites attract
- Small town
- Family bonds
- Influencers and social media

The Catch is the last book in the "Influencer series" from Amy Lea. In this one we follow Melanie as she heads up to Halifax to a resort for work. After a mix up with the dates she flies in a week to early and ends up in small town Nova Scotia at a small family inn where she is not wanted. Enter Evan, grumpy fisherman and owner of the inn, after a whale watching trip goes wrong, Melanie pretends to be his fiance and they spend the next week trying to convince Evan's family of their relationship. A lot of will-they won't-they in this book along with two great characters who I'm so happy we get to see their happily ever after. I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more from Amy Lea.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

This is the last book in Amy Lea’s Influencer series. This book was cute and fine, but ultimately not my favorite in the series. This is a story that has been done so many times, and I think the issue with that is that romance authors have to then make it their own with soft moments, banter, chemistry, and more. And this book just did not have that for me. Like I have said about other books, this might have been a timing issue in that maybe I just read this at the wrong time in my life, but nothing in this book really sparked a lot of interest for me. I think that Amy Lea is a good writer, so I have no problem there, I just didn’t connect to the love story and Melanie. I will admit, social media influencer stories are rough for me, and not much in this book made me really like her and connect to her story. I did read the other two books in this series, and I did like them much more than this book.

The final installment in Lea’s 𝘐𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳 series does not disappoint!⁣
⁣
Mel & Evan might just be my favorite couple in the series. I adored their story and loved seeing their beautiful slow, slow burn. 🔥⁣
⁣
It’s also been super fun reading about down-to-earth influencers because they’re incredibly relatable to me as a Bookstagrammer. (If you missed it, book 2 is actually about a Bookstagrammer!) The stories serve as a nice reminder that it isn’t always rainbows and daisies behind the cameras and the filters. 🤳🏼⁣
⁣
But more than that, I think Lea just straight up writes great romances. The men are so sweet and tender under their rough exteriors, and the women are fabulous warriors learning how to let down their walls and allow someone to love them. 🥹 It’s beautiful.⁣
⁣
I’ve absolutely loved this 𝘐𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳 series journey and can’t wait to read more by Lea!⁣

Thank you so much to @berkleyromance for my advance galley copy!

While this wasn't my all time favorite of Amy Lea's (it's still Set on You!), I did love the charm of The Catch!! This is the perfect book for you if you love Amy Lea's books and also The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker! It's the perfect blend or combination of the two!! I loved the secondary plotlines as well!

This is an enemies to lovers, opposites attract, big city girl gets stuck in a small town story! Melanie is an influencer that is trying to stay relevant. She has a brother that she’s always worried about. When she gets a Dm asking if she wanted to go to a resort in Canada, she take it. There’s a scheduling mix up though and the only hotel she can find is in a nearby small town. At this hotel she make an immediate enemy, finds herself in a fake relationship and eventually falls in love and uses her social media skills to help a small business.

This was a cute read!

Amy Lea's Influencer series is one of my favorite rom com series because all of the books in it are soo good, and this is no exception! I loved this - it had the same vibes as It Happened One Summer which is one of my favorite books ever, so I was hooked from the beginning reading this. Mel and Evan were so fun and I loved their story from start to finish.

i’m a huge fan of amy lea! her books are just quick easy and fun and this was nothing short of that. i love a grumpy sunshine trope so i knew this was going to hit just right! and it did
