Gotcha!

By: Christie Craig

Narrated by: Courtney Patterson

Live...laugh...read...with New York Times best-selling author Christie Craig....

"...Fans of Janet Evanovich should check [Craig] out." (Parkersburg News and Sentinel on Divorced, Desperate and Delicious)

Macy Tucker was five years old when her beloved grandfather dropped dead in his spaghetti. At 12, her father left his family in the dust. At 25, her husband gave his secretary a pre-Christmas bonus in bed, and Macy gave him the boot. To put things lightly, men have been undependable.

That's why dating's off the menu. Macy is focused on putting herself through law school - which means being the delivery girl for Papa's Pizza. But cheesier than her job is her pie-eyed brother, who just recently escaped from prison to protect his new girlfriend. And hotter than Texas toast is the investigating detective. Proud, sexy...inflexible, he's a man who would kiss her just to shut her up. But Jake Baldwin's a protector as much as a dish. And when he gets his man - or his woman - Macy knows it's for life.

a solid story

I really enjoyed this story. I thought the story line engaging and the characters likeable. the crime storyline was refreshing to me , and it wasnt simply another predictable romance.

Funny

Actually read this before. The narrators were really good. I think I laughed just as much. But I still think the heroine is a little stupid for constantly putting herself in danger. But the humor makes up for it!

Just what I wanted for my next read

Perfectly imperfect characters, broken but likable. Good sex scenes, and enough suspense getting to that point. Good balance of sexual and emotional content. Love Courtney Patterson as a narrator!

Fun Read

Funny entertaining read, with different twist than the norm. I would read another of her books.

Very good steamy romance

This was an older published book. If I had seen that I probably would not have gotten it. This is the first book that I’ve read from this author. To my enjoyment it was very good. It made me laugh it had a hint of suspense in there. I took a little off of the rating secondary to slight dragging of the story 3/4 of the way through - but slight. Would definitely read another one of this author.

Thank you, Audible Escape.

While I have been enjoying my Audible Escape subscription, I did it to try and find new authors and stories because. And author Christie Craig, and Courtney Patterson as narrator, have more than made the subscription worthwhile. I loved “The Cop Who Stole Christmas” so much, I couldn’t wait to download this book, the first in the series. It most definetly did not disappoint. In fact, I’m moving on to the third in the series as soon as I hit the submit button on this review. If you’re a fan of the characters in Janet Evanovich, this author is for you.

Entertaining!

This is my first time reading this author and what a delight! This story was funny, suspenseful and romantic. I loved how Christie Craig took the time to build up the relationship and the tension, and the sexual detail was enough without being a how-to manual. Rather, it was tasteful and not the focus of the story – the emotion was. And it got me good.

The main and secondary characters were three dimensional and loveable. The hero’s work partner is the main character in a delightful novella-length story, THE COP WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS, and it is equally charming.

I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of the new-to-me-narrator, Courtney Patterson. I just have one question because I don’t know any Texans: Do Texans really say “wadn’t” instead of “wasn’t”? It happened so much here. It distracted me a bit, but the narration was otherwise excellent, so I had to accept that is correct pronunciation.

I recommend this novel.

Really cute story

I enjoyed this story. I usually do not choose romance books. Got to be more to it, suspense, mystery. This fit the bill, likeable characters, great narration. Loved the ending!

So much fun!

Suspense with humor and snarky banter. Perfect, reminds me a lot of Rock Chick books.

Could have been good

Here's another one that could have been good, but wasn't. The heroine was such an idiot, that it brought down my rating by at least two stars. I'm all for strong, independent women, but to be contrary just to be contrary is plain silly, not strong and independent. Stupidly outrunning and pushing away her bodyguard when a murderous maniac is on the loose after her is stupid. She was also immature both emotionally and sexually. I just couldn't see what the hero ever wanted from her. In addition to the idiotic heroine there were at least three or maybe even more storylines on the same book. It's one thing that it was a mess, but it meant that everything remained superficial. A good writer can write a book full with just one storyline. This one couldn't. Last, but not least there was the brother and his wife. I don't think it can ever be okay to go after your brother's ex or the brother of your ex. Yet, the hero was expected to just forgive them, because they didn't physically cheated on him, and they didn't mean to hurt him. That was just too much BS
