I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book is compulsively readable and thoroughly enjoyable!

I think it's a lovely bit of mental sorbet because the arc of the plot is predictable. The characters are fun and feel real. The situations they find themselves in are pretty well grounded in reality. Nothing was over-the-top. And who doesn't love a fluffy Malamute puppy?! (Mmm.. those steamy moments? *fans self*)

That said, it missed an opportunity for depth and nuance. Imogen seems to have some unresolved trauma -- and possibly undiagnosed anxiety. It would have been a breath of fresh air if that had been addressed and incorporated. I'm sure it would have changed the plot some but that extra gravitas would really kick this star rating up for me.

I'd recommend this book as a low stakes beach read, sure!

The description of the book and the cover are intriguing enough to consider this book . However I found the pacing in some parts difficult to follow and the love story was cute but not as much as I expected at the beginning.

Fun, sweet and witty, Catch and Release Groom is one you won't throw back.

With great characters, an engaging plotline and a whole lot of laughs, this is a perfect conclusion to the Getting Hitched in Dixie series. Full of perfectly flowing banter, hilariously awkward moments and all the fishing puns, Easton and Imogen's rapport will keep you entertained while the growth and development in their blooming relationship is captivating and satisfying to witness.

4 stars and a perfect catch

Catch and Release Groom lived up to all my expectations. I have been waiting for this final book in the Getting Hitched in Dixie series FOREVER. (Or at least since 2019, which feels like forever with how the past few years have played out.) I couldn't have imagined a more fun or better romance for Easton. 

Being back in the gossip filled small town of Uncertainty, Alabama was fun. I loved added setting of the resort where Imogen is staying on her honeymoon for one and Easton is working a side job. It was a great place for them to meet and interact. The resort itself felt like a character with its over the top honeymoon packages.

Easton, our final single friend in the Getting Hitched in Dixie series, is a little grumpy. He has every right to be after being left at the alter by his high school sweetheart and now having to be around all of the honeymoon stuff at the resort.

Imogen is a runaway bride for reasons. She knew she couldn't marry her childhood sweetheart, but she hadn't imagined going on her honeymoon alone. She's determined to figure out her new life on this trip, even if it's lonely.

Easton and Imogen don't exactly hit it off at first. There's attraction, but there is also annoyance. These two can't decide if they want to throttle each other or find a bed. This makes the agreement to be in a fake relationship all the more fun. I loved how they got to know each other and how their chemistry brought them even closer together. Oh, and I loved how Easton's dog fit into it as well. 

This wouldn't be a Getting Hitched in Dixie book without wonderful side characters. Addie, Tucker, Shep, Ford, and a bunch of other people were there to add some extra fun. I loved seeing the support there for Easton, and Imogen as well. 

I'm so happy I finally got to read Catch and Release Groom. It was well worth the wait.

This is the last book in the Getting Hitched in Dixie series, and I’m a little sorry there won’t be mote books in the series. Addie, Tucker, Shep, Easton and Ford have been friends for most of their lives in the little town of Uncertainty Alabama. We’ve already seen Addie, Tucker, Shep and Ford get there happily ever after, so now it is Easton’s turn. Easton Reeves is romance adverse after getting left at the alter several years ago by his High School Sweetheart. He is working several jobs, Sheriff, Search and Rescue and fly fishing guide. His dream is to own a tackle shop and do fly fishing excursions full time. His life is about to change when he knocks on the door of what is supposed to be honeymooner for their fly fishing lesson and he meets Imogen Kaplan. Imogen is supposed to be on her honeymoon, but she called off her wedding a month before she was to go down the aisle. Since she already paid for the “Honeymoon Package,” she decides to go it alone. Once she realizes that she is the only singleton amongst all honeymooners, she devises a plan to have Easton pose as her groom, and in return, she will accompany him to his ex’es wedding. Imogen and Easton are really fun characters who enjoy pushing each other’s buttons. This is a wonderful end to a really enjoyable series. I received an arc of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.

This is a simple, fun quick romantic comedy. It was a great weekend read. I loved the escape. Is it predictable yes, but was it fun yes. I would pick it up and reread it again.

This was exactly what I needed to get out of my reading slump.
It was fun, light romcom with a lot of laughs and a good romance. I really enjoyed the setting and wonder if this is a real place that I can go to haha.
I think the characters had great banter and chemistry. I couldn't stop reading about them.
A great romcom summer read!

After reading the description I was immediately interested in reading this book! It promised to be fun and flirty, and it did not disappoint! Some of the pacing for the plot was a little off, but it did not detract from my enjoyment of the book. Overall, a quick read for someone looking to read a fun romance story.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

This book is very much “The Spanish Love Deception” meets Hallmark movie. Quick read full of heart and jokes. The perspective was often clear but sometimes difficult to follow, apart from that the writing was pretty clear!
