Very funny! Just read it for the second time and it's still my favorite book by Kristan Higgins. ( )

I thoroughly enjoyed this contemporary romance 4.5 ⭐️ ( )

I enjoyed this book and parts of it brought tears to my eyes but it really should be marketed as Chick-Lit not as a romance. The heroine spent very little time with the hero and it was difficult to see how she could have ever fallen in love with him given the sparse amount of time she spent with him. I loved the idea of his character but it was very underdeveloped. We never are shown why he is the way he is much less the heroine ever getting any conversation out of him that would show her the character of the man she's supposedly in love with for all of the maybe 40 pages of the book she spends with him.

Catch of the Day by Kristan Higgins (Audio Edition)
Narrated by Xe Sands
Gideon’s Cove #1

5 Stars - Why-oh-why did I wait so long to read this book! I let a few negative reviews hold me back.. so silly of me! Kristan Higgins always delivers! And pairing that with the excellent narration of Xe Sands!!! It's a big win in my book!

This story is written in first person and therefore you don't get to see much of Malone’s point of view.. but as much as I love hearing the hero’s side of it, this doesn't detract from the sparks factor. The minute Malone is in the scene goosebumps breakout down my arms.. ooh yeah!

Now Maggie did do a couple of odd things in this story.. which personally, I would never do.. but hey, each to their own right?? She has a twin sister and I love, Love, LOVE it when their “mate” is the only person that can tell them apart!! Malone was a man of very few words but he still made his presence known. I am just left sighing here while I write this.

On a side note… Xe Sands has one of the sexiest male voices ever, and considering she's a woman.. I just gotta say well done! I love her narrations.

of course I hate the first person present tense style, but dammit, Kristan Higgins! you know exactly how to make me tear up the perfect amount, shed 2 or 3 tears, make me smile and ache with your lead characters, and then leave me with what I fondly call the Big Goofy Grin. I just can't stop reading these books. ( )
