Catch Me If You Can by Donna Kauffman was a good story. I began reading it and discovered that I had read it previously. It is a re-release with a new cover. I enjoy reading Donna Kauffmans books so I read it through. This book while enjoyable, was not one of my favorites. The book is well written, and the characters are well defined, but the story just lacked something that I can not put my finger on. There is a lot of heated moments, and the story flowed along. I look forward to reading more from Donna Kauffman in the future.

A fun to read and entertaining story, well crafted and engrossing.
I liked the plot, the fleshed out cast of characters and the setting.
I'd have preferred some less sex scenes as found them a tad boring.
It's a fun read nonetheless, recommended.
Many thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I really enjoyed Catch Me if You Can , which is the third book in the Men of Rogue's Hollow series. This book reads perfect as a stand alone as I had not read the previous two books. This book is a re-release with a new cover. I hadn't read it when it was published years ago, so this was a new book for one of my favorite authors, the talented Donna Kauffman.

This story follows Tag Morgan, the oldest of the Morgan brothers, none of whom were close to their father and left home as soon as possible. Tag was in charge of handling the estate and the author writes with such rawness regarding the abuse he and his brothers suffered that Tag was a very relatable character for me.

Tag's management of the estate takes him to Scotland to investigate an investment letter where he meets Maura Sinclair, his love interest.

This novel was so well written with complex, complicated well fleshed out characters and a wonderful well evolved story line. There are some steamy sex scenes in there. This all makes for a great romance.

I am definitely going back to read the first two books in the series!!!

I read Catch Me If You Can by Donna Kauffman the first time many years ago when I had just discovered this author in the paperback section of the local bookstore. I enjoyed it the second time as much as the first even with a bit of vintage feel to it. It is true a good story will always remain a good one to read. This one certainly was so I am glad to find it in e-book format now.

True romance book as Tag Morgan works through his feelings towards his late father but finds other feeling growing too. While Maura Ramsey never planned to become Tag’s love interest, it is inevitable for them both as the Scottish property in question threatens to break them as much as bind them together.

Ms. Kauffman has grown into a writer whose current work is even more emotional deeper while this is simply a fun, fun satisfying read. Need a smile at the end of a long day then this is the story for you. Recommend for those who need a vacation. Easy to take one to the Scottish Highlands in Catch Me If You Can by Donna Kauffman.

An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a sequel in the Men of Rogue’s Hollow series but it can be read without reading the prior books.

Tag is the eldest son and back in Rogues Hollow dealing with his estranged father’s estate when he would rather be off playing Indiana Jones and uncovering buries Mayan secrets. As he is ready to close things out, he finds a deathbed dare from his father tied to a collection of letters from Scotland that he can’t quite resist.

He sets off with the intention of seeing what property is owned and making a decision on what to do with it. In reality, he is haunted by the author of the letters. He goes off the road on the way to find her and instead ends up entangled with a woman he can’t resist.

Meanwhile, Maura is running out of money to support the family estate and then walks in on her boyfriend and best friend in a compromising situation. In Maura’s bed. She needs Taggert Morgan’s sons to honor the funding arrangement she had with him and soon. Should she call him or is that crass?

The story on how these two find each other and find each other again is an entertaining read. There were times I couldn’t put it down (even though I really needed to!). I love Ms. Kaufman’s writing and this book does not disappoint. I am glad is part of a series so I will be able to read more about the family.

I am thankful for the electronic copy of this book I received from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

Wow! Classic Donna Kauffman at its sexiest. I remember reading this book years ago and now that it's being rereleased with a cute new cover I had to reread it again and I forgot how incredibly hot this story was. Talk about some insta-chemistry. Tag and Maura have red hot chemistry that is bound to burn up your ereader. But besides all the hotness between them there was some strong emotional aspects to the story too. Tag's backstory, for instance was so heartbreaking. I just wanted to hug him so hard. His growth and self reflection throughout the story was really wonderful to read. And Maura. Her story wasn't so sad but something did happen to her that made her throw caution to the wind and just go for it with Tag at first. But as they got to know one another and feelings developed it turned out to be a very sigh worthy and heart warming story. Definitely a very hot romance that will warm up your winter nights too.

Wow, this book is very different than other books that I’ve read by this author.

It does end with a HEA , but in between are many pages of very descriptive, lengthy (pun intended) sex scenes. I’m no prude but I think it was a little over the top (yup, another pun). Seriously, sex scenes are great as part of the storyline but these were very graphic and comprised at least half the book, if not more.

I believe this book was originally published in the early 2000’s, and I’d prefer authors and publishers to be more transparent about that when publicizing upcoming books. I am grateful for the opportunity from NetGalley and the publisher, my views are my own.

You, like me, might think- hmmm- I've read this before. I certainly did until I checked and realized that in fact I had, when it was originally published. No matter- I kept with it because I'd forgotten what happened (not that there are any real surprises) and I liked the characters. Tag's father was a horrible horrible man and when Tag inherits a castle in Scotland he did not know his father had invested in, he decides to travel there. Maura, the caretaker, has been having romantic problems (rats of a boyfriend AND a best friend). They meet cute when Tag puts his car in a ditch during a surprise snow storm and they, well, get to know one another. Maura's efforts to keep the castle and the tenants afloat appeal to Tag even as he can't keep himself from her for, ahem, other reasons. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. An HEA of the steamy sort.

I've read several books by Donna Kauffman and have really enjoyed them. This book was not as enjoyable for me. I would have preferred a little more relationship building before the couple start having wild sex. So many of the sex scenes went on for pages & pages. I would have liked to have seen Maura get a backbone & deal with her "friend" who betrayed her.

Catch Me If You Can is another wonderful story by Donna Kauffman. Taggert Morgan Jr. had a rough childhood. He is the eldest of four boys who lost their mother when Tag was 8. They were then raised by a bitter, abusive father and all left home never to return when they were old enough . Now Taggert Sr. has passed and Tag is the executor. Most things are straight forward with the will with the exception of the investment in a Scottish castle where their ancestors had lived hundreds of years ago. This was so unlike their father who had done everything to get above their scoundrel heritage.

Maura Sinclair is the lady of the castle. When she was left with the legacy of carrying on the castle, it’s lands, and the people who depend upon it for their livelihood she was just 25. As a freelance writer, her income isn’t anywhere near what the castle needs for upkeep and repairs. Thinking outside the box, Maura had contacted Morgan Sr. a few years ago and he had decided that perhaps the heritage of the homeland was worth restoring and had invested with monthly infusions of cash. With his death, Maura doesn’t know how to proceed without this cash flow.

When a chance meeting on a stormy night turns Maura’s life on end and the same event does as much to Tag, a beautiful story of history, redemption, and destiny ensues. I very much enjoyed this book and do recommend it.

This is re-release from 2004. I thought it was a new book to the author's "Hot Scot" series, but that is my own mistake. I assumed and had no reason to think that. As I was reading, I realized that error on my part. Only one character from that series was mentioned and that was a passing comment here and there.

This book is the story of Maura and Taggart. While the reader has some background on them, the characters are strangers when they met and are immediately attracted. I think the story line was interesting and flowed very well. This is a very steamy story, a bit too steamy for my taste, but overall, I enjoyed the book very much. Donna Kauffman is an excellent author and I recommend her work highly.

My opinion is my own, not influenced by receiving the ARC of this book. I want to thank Kensington Books, Zebra Romance and NetGalley.com for allowing me to read the Advanced Reader's Copy to be issued on December 31, 2019.

Hot and Sexy, Sweet and Funny. I was pulled in immediately by the characters from page one and that doesn’t happen often. I really enjoyed reading Catch Me If You Can by Donna Kauffman. I’m going to search out more titles by the author to get another fix. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and her publisher for letting me read an advanced copy of her book Catch Me If You Can.

Fun read, entertaining, and a great visit with Tag Morgan and Maura Sinclair, and a visit to the Scottish Highlands. Tag and Maura are after different things, but chemistry and the discovery of each other changes their paths and desires! Good read.

I am not sure why, but I feel like I have read this book before or at least one incredibly similar. It was okay, but maybe because I was stuck trying to figure out why it seemed so familiar that I couldn’t really get into it. I did not connect with the main female character. Tag and his brothers were raised by a horribly abusive heinous father who had he not been a judge would have been arrested on child abuse and endangerment charges. Each of men escaped the family home the moment they could with only the clothes on their backs and the terrible memories of all the abuse he reigned upon them. Upon the awful mans death the brothers are all called home to settle his estate. Tag, the oldest learns of a secret his father was keeping in Scotland. He was providing funding to a castle that was a part of their collective family history, possibly the only thing that mattered to the mean old b##$#. Tag travels to Scotland to figure out what was what. Maura Sinclair was doing all that she could to keep the castle from falling into terrible disrepair with what little finances she had. What she does have is a cheating jerk of a boyfriend who she catches in bed with her best girlfriend, a never ending list of things in need of repair, almost no income and a despicable best friend who she should never ever forgive if she wants to ever develop some self respect and yet she does. I wanted to like her, but am a little tired of reading about women who are victims and constantly willing to take crap from everyone in their lives. She was trying to keep up her family legacy in tact the best way she could in lieu of the many obstacles in her way and yet I just couldn’t connect with her that much. Her initial reaction to Tags truth about his father, her forgiveness offered to Priss and so many other things about her just didn’t ring true to me. And Priss, the friend…ugh. She had the nerve to do what she did and then threaten Tag? Seriously her character was a joke and just annoying. There is of course a sweet HEA, but by the end I just did not care all that much. It was surprising in that I have read almost all of the authors work and have enjoyed them all. This one just did not do it for me.

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley.com in exchange for a far and honest review.

I am a fan of Donna Kaufmann and was looking forward to another great story when I started this book. Sorry to say it was a big disappointment to me. I didn't care for the characters or the story line. I felt the author made a big deal about the ownership of the castle and then just kind of let it drop because she spends pages and pages describing the sex between the two main characters. This one just wasn't for me. I am sorry I wasted my time reading it.

Unfortunately I was unable to read this book due to formatting issues. My rating is based on the synopsis.

I can’t believe how much I missed the Morgan brothers. Tag Morgan is the strong, silent type…mostly…but he and his brothers have been through much in their lives. No spoilers but Tag ends up in Scotland and meets Maura Sinclair. Ach, that Maura! Probably the best way to describe these two is that they are good people, but both of them are struggling with pasts that are hanging over their futures.

Tag is an archeologist usually exploring civilizations in deserts. Being in Scotland, he’s a mite bit out of his comfort zone, to put it mildly. Maura was born and raised in Scotland, in an old, crumbling castle and surrounding keeps. How they come together is a very sexy story that will have you fanning yourself. I loved Maura’s strength, especially when she is dealing with her very recent past (read the story; I can’t do it justice). She is sometimes unsure of herself but she seems to be a ‘fake it til you make it’ kinda gal. Loved her! And Tag. Wow, did I feel for him. Along with his brothers, he had a childhood that no one should have had to endure. Loved him, too!

Catch Me If You Can is a re-read for me as I bought it when it first came out but I do so love the Morgans. And Maura, and the Scottish crew, are endearing – and frustrating! – and make this story enjoyable. And it is sexy, no doubt about it. I recommend reading and re-reading.

This had the potential to be a great story. Tag, an anthropologist, has returned to his estranged father's home after his father's death and learns that he had inherited not only the family holdings but also a new property his father had purchased in Scotland -- the old ancestral castle. Out of curiosity, he decides to extend his leave before he returns to the dig he is working on in the Amazon, and go take a look at the property in Scotland. In Scotland, Tag meets Maura, the caretaker and last descendant of the clan that has had the castle in their family for hundreds of years. Tag and Maura hit it off immediately and both their plans for the future are rocked.


I would have really enjoyed this story if the author had stuck to the story and followed it to its logical (or even surprising) ending. However I would hazard a guess that less than 25% of this book is the story as described above, and the rest is a long drawn out, too much information, version of their libidos and all the tiny details of that process. It was disappointing because I had to skip multiple pages each time to get to the continuation of the actual story.


I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this books which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

This story really grabs your heart and holds on. I thoroughly enjoyed it - loved the characters, the storyline and the scenery. I usually enjoy books by Ms Kauffman and this was a fine addition!

Another great book!!! I love anything Donna Kauffman writes! She never disappoints me. Her storytelling astounds me!! Can't wait for her next book!!
