The Catch by K. Bromberg is NOT A STANDALONE! I repeat, not a standalone! You have to read book 1, the Player first.

The Catch picks up right after the bombshell ending of The Player. You are thrown right back into the drama of Easton's trade, Scout's lie, and the shitstorm that follows. While I expected this book to focus more on Scout trying to save her relationship with Easton, that problem is actually solved fairly early on. After that, Bromberg dropped more bombshells on me than I expected!! I never saw some of these coming and it was like one right after another!!! I was thrilled that the main conflict of the story was not the relationship status between Scout and Easton. I struggle with books that use that trope. These two have to weather so many storms though! Holy shit did Bromberg blow my mind. I serious can't explain enough how wonderful this book and series is because Bromberg has taken a trope (pro athlete) that has become trite and breathed new life into it.

You get answers about both Scout's father and Easton's father which were both shocking, frustrating, and anger inducing! You get answers about Easton's future and Scout's plans which were surprising at times!

This review is hella vague, I know. But seriously, go into The Catch kind of blind. I have given you the heads up that it will be a minefield and you will LOVE it. Bromberg is a brilliant author who has repeatedly earned her spot on my top author list.

I was hooked on Scout and Easton's story and couldn't wait for THE CATCH.  K. Bromberg didn't disappoint with this story.

Picking up right where THE PLAYER ended, Scout and Easton were left to navigate through the lies and betrayal at the hand of the Aces and some they didn't expect.  It was easy for either of them, but what we quickly found was a couple who already knew they were stronger together and they needed to weather all the bad stuff together.  They definitely took a path I wasn't expecting, but in the end, you knew that every obstacle that stood in their way made both of them more determined to make it work.

There were definitely moments that had me reaching for a Kleenex, but this second book was all about Scout and Easton learning what's important in life.  What meant the most to each of them and how to fight for it.  So while there were those Kleenex moments, they definitely weren't the kind that I was expecting (and that made me happy).

K. Bromberg knocked this duet out of the park.  It's started out angsty, but it ended perfectly while still having all those sexy moments that I've come to expect.  It was a pleasure to meet Scout and Easton, follow their relationship and to add another set of books from this author that I can't do without.
