Catch and Cradle

By: Katia Rose

Narrated by: Sophie Daniels

The UNS Women's Lacrosse team doesn't have an official policy against inter-teammate relationships, but those words might as well be carved into stone tablets in the middle of the field. After witnessing way too much drama in the past, Captain Becca Moore is intent on keeping her players' love lives out of the locker room.

Becca has no time or tolerance for any distractions from the game. Unfortunately, that's exactly what Hope Hastings has been since the day she showed up for tryouts: charismatically dorky and kissable distraction.

Hope knew she was headed straight to the danger zone from the moment she saw Becca's flame-red hair and surly captain smirk. She's spent the past two years writing off her attraction as a harmless crush, but starting a new semester fresh out of an awful relationship makes Hope realize just how far from harmless the heat between them really is.

The friendships of a tight-knit team and their shot at the title are all lying on the line, but as Hope and Becca get closer to bending rules they've sworn never to break, they realize they've put their hearts on that line too. Losing has never been an option, but winning might cost more than they're willing to pay.

Quick read, cute teammate trope, minimal Drama

This book was a quick cute read, I enjoyed all the characters and the diversity. The drama was not long and drawn out and a tad bit of spice.

perfect for pride month

super cute story about two young girls working on themselves but fighting for love. had me awwing out loud in a few chapters. i think it’s perfect amount of romance and realism.

Catch and Cradle 🥍❤️

This was my first - and favorite - Katia Rose book. Its just a really special story, which says a lot because Katia Rose books always have something special in them. In Catch and Cradle, there's lacrosse, a group of close friends, forbidden crushes, dyslexia rep -lots of fun, angst, and young love.

Becca and Hope are 👩‍🍳💋🤌. You could feel the sexual tension through the pages. The story is about how they connected through the lacrosse team, but they became so much more outside of the team. I loved this story 🥰

Sporty and fun queer love!

Absolutely know nothing about lacrosse, but that didn’t matter! This cute and coming of age story, integrating, sports, and friends, and family and love had me smiling and eager to read more the whole time!

So Good!

Loved this book so much i bought the audiobook to listen anytime.
The story is pretty straightforward, but the characters are beyond likeable and the chemistry left me fanning myself ever time Becca and Hope were together.
if you're looking for a light read with a good amount of spice 10/10 recommend!

FRICKING AWESOME

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS IVE READ I LOVE IT I WANT THE PHYSICAL COPY NOW

University Sports Romance

Becca is the passionate captain of the UNS Women’s Lacrosse Team and is rabid about the No dating you teammates rule based on past experience. Hope is a fantastic lacrosse player and a magnet pulling Becca into her spear. A wonderful sports romcom with great friends and lots of fun. Great story and narration.

Nice concept, awkward writing

I really like the concept of bisexual college girls, but the story starts with a really bad plot hole. I guess the writer wants us to believe that this is love and passion, but this isn’t it. It’s just limerence. It’s just so bad, I am sorry, but the story is really not believable. :(

I hate it

Maybe if you are a 12 years old girl and has never read a fanfiction, maybe you’ll like this book
