Baiting him is the second book in the How to catch an alpha series by Aurora Rose Reynolds. The novel can be read as stand-alone, but personally I would recommend reading the series in order because I liked both books very much. The only connection the two novels have is that Leah and Tyler from the first book appear in this one and Chrissie appears in theirs. She is Leah's best friend after all.

Those who have read Catching him might recall the epilogues. The events of this book take place after the main story and before the epilogues. The epilogue of this book takes us even further into the future and I love epilogues like that.

Chrissie and Gaston met at the night club he owns (in a weird way) and after that, he was smitten. After some pursuing, our heroine decides to give in and their journey begins. Gaston is an alpha male and some times his behavior can be over the top, but for most of the time, he is behaving himself. Thankfully, early in the story, I stopped singing in my head Gaston's song from beauty and the beast and I was able to think of him as the hero of the novel. His (in my head) cute doggie helped with that.

There is some suspense in the novel, but it's not much. The story is mainly focused on our two characters as a couple who are trying to navigate their lives. Their romance was good and I enjoyed the book as much as I usually enjoy a novel from Aurora Rose Reynolds. I would recommend it.

I loved this book! Chrissie and Gaston are just perfect for each other. A cute busy baker who doesn’t have time on her hands meets this hot club owning workaholic and the two of them have this instant attraction. There’s a few things they have to go through but it makes it all worth it with a guaranteed HEA and the biggest smile on your face when it’s over. Highly recommend another 5 star read from the amazingly talented Aurora Rose Reynolds!

This was my first book by Aurora Rose Reynolds and I absolutely loved it!

Chrissie is out with her friends when she unexpectedly runs into the gorgeous Gaston. The two talk and tease, but Chrissie isn't ready for anything serious. She has her bakery and she's dealing with some family issues, so she's happy where she is and doesn't need a man. Gaston has other plans. He can't seem to get Chrissie off his mind and after spending her flowers but not hearing back from her, he decides to go after her is the only way to go.

The two find out they live in the same building and before long the two are inseparable. As the two start to navigate their relationship, Gaston starts to have issues at his clubs while Chrissie is having problems with her own family.

A touch of instalove thrown in while a little mystery made this book a fun, light and sexy read. I most definitely will be going back and reading the first book in the series (which this book can be read as a standalone) and will most certainly be adding more of Ms. Reynolds to my TBR list

Baiting Him is book 2 in the How to Catch an Alpha Series, it can certainly be read as a stand-alone but I’m sure after reading this entertaining enjoyable insta-love story you will want to read the first book Catching Him. This book ticked all my boxes, I swooned, I smiled and I loved the characters.
We met Cassie in book 1 she is the owner of of The Sweet Spot bakery, the bakery keeps her busy and she has no time for dates or relationships but that’s about to change because she can’t get Gaston the extremely hot club owner out of her mind and the fact he is persistent in wooing her has her thinking maybe it’s time to give love one more chance.....
Gaston is a man who used to getting what he wants and even though he struggles to understand why Cassie is fighting his advances he still treats her with respect but respect doesn’t mean he will give up on making her see how good they would be together......
If you want a fun entertaining read with characters you will love then this is a must read. I’m loving everything about this series and can’t wait for the next book in the series.

I love Aurora Rose Renolds writing, I however am sad to say I did not love this book. The writing like always was on par. I love how she writes. I felt nothing for the Hero Gaston, or the heroine Chrissie. Nothing really happened. For the first time ever I couldn't wait for it to over.
The secondary characters intrested me more the main couple. I hate giving this a bad review because I know writers put their heart into their books, but I need to give a honest review.

Thank's Netgally for the chance to review this book for a honest review,

I love everything Aurora Rose Reynolds writes and was excited to read her newest book Baiting Him. What I love about her books, which have a Kristen Ashley feel to them, are her protective alpha males. This is another wonderful story that is emotional, sexy and fun with a charming hero that I fell in love with, right along with the story.

When Chrissie meets Gaston she has a hard time believing she can trust him. Gaston is different from every guy Chrissie has dated and he seems too good to be true. He is annoyingly protective, caring, thoughtful and charming.

Gaston and Chrissie are immediately attracted to each other and make a great couple. I enjoyed all the interactions between these two characters as they meet, fall in love and have a relationship. Chrissie owns a bakery and she is sweet and hardworking. Gaston owns a couple nightclubs and when he meets Chrissie, he knows she is the one for him. Gaston is handsome and can have any woman he wants, but he only wants Chrissie. I enjoyed this delightful, seductive story.

We were always warned that we might catch something in public bathrooms, for Chrissie she catches something special when she's caught in the men's bathroom at a club during her best friend's bachelorette party. Gaston, well the name is different but the man is unforgettable. Finally a man that is perfect in her eyes and easy on them too. Great, sexy read that will make you never look at the non existent line in front of the men's room again in the same way.
I received an advanced copy of this book from Netgalley for my honest review.

Baiting Him was a light, easy, steamy read that captivated me right from the start. Gaston was a swoon-worthy hero that took charge, knew what he wanted and didn't play games. Making him the perfect complement to Chrissie. This story has definitely made its way onto my favorites list. I enjoyed it so much I see a re-read in my near future.

Aurora has done a great job with this book. I loved it. I'm really liking this series. It can be read as a standalone even though it's the second book. I loved the characters and the whole story.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Another great book by Aurora Rose Reynolds!! I really enjoyed this it was a quick easy read. The characters chemistry was definitely there and had a great HEA!

Baiting Him is one of those stories that will melt your heart and have you grinning the whole time. Gaston and Chrissie are two characters that will find their way deep under your skin, their story will have you overflowing with happiness and they will show you what true love is. A story that is passionate, endearing, heartfelt and enchanting. Their journey might at times be sweet like candy but believe me it has enough heat and passion to warm you from head to toe. It won’t be just Chrissie and Gaston falling in love, you will fall right along with them.

4.5 stars!

The thing I love most about Aurora's books are how easy they are to read. Sometimes, you need to escape from heavy and dark books, even if they are romances too, and her books are the perfect antidote. She has been a one click author to me for years, after reading her Until series, and I have loved every story she has written.

Baiting Him is the second book in the How To Catch An Alpha series, about Chrissie, Leah from book one's best friend. Chrissie meets Gus on Leah's bachelorette party and although their initial meeting doesn't go to plan, the minute these two gave into their undeniable chemistry, their relationship shoots to the next level. Although there is some family drama and a slight twist at the end, everything works out for this couple and it makes such a sweet story.

I love Aurora's alpha male heroes and Gus did not disappoint. He was protective and charming, but so hot too. He knew what he wanted and went for it, the attraction between him and Chrissie was undeniable. And I loved Le Fou too!!

Chrissie was sassy, intelligent and so beautiful. She kept her heart closely guarded thanks to being let down by multiple male figures in her life, and was fiercely independent. However, it only took the right man to push through those barriers and restore her faith and trust in men.

This is such a sweet and easy read and I can't wait for book 3!

*I received a copy of this book in return for an honest review.*

First of all, Gaston is the perfect man! He's gorgeous, caring, understanding and can cook. He is totally swoon worthy. Chrissie doesn't have time for men. She owns a bakery and is always working. After catching Gaston's attention at his club, Twilight, he can't get the woman who is sassy and made him laugh off his mind. Chrissie finally gives him a chance and things move pretty quickly. It was easy to fall in love with them as they fell in love with each other.

A low drama, fast paced story that is full of heat and love.

Beautiful book that I have read

I loved the characters so much
The end was the best



I give this a five stars because it amazing

Just a perfectly lovely romance! Loved the chemistry between these two. This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand alone.

Chrissie was sweet and such a good person. Gaston stole the show for me though. Super thoughtful, romantic, a bit alpha and a whole lot of s3xy! Chrissie tried to feel not worthy of his attentions. He was not about to let her feel that way. Gaston set about to win her over no matter what.

There is a little bit of tension from Gaston's work. Honestly, it barely registered for me. The focus of the story was two people getting to trust and know one another.

Sweet story by this author and worth the read!

AAR never lets me down!
I fly through her books in hours. They are quick reads, but have everything I'm looking for to entertain my mind for a few hours.

I always find myself letting myself read another chapter and another. I always finish one of hers and immediately go into reread an old one because I can't get enough.
Gaston, (Beauty and the Beast) aka Gus is a man after Cassie. Only Cassie is not looking. However, Gus pursues until she can't say no. Cassie is a sweet baker, but has been burned more than once and has build up walls for charming sweet men like Gus.
Add a sweet little dog and this book is adorable.

This one was just plain fun with lots of sexy times added in to keep it moving along. It starts off with Chrissie celebrating at Leah's bachelorette party where she meets the club owner Gaston. He is yummy, too yummy for his own good and she tells him to leave her alone which he does not do and sends her flowers with his number. No, she does not call which really does not go over well but thankfully he is persistent and when they do finally get together find out they live in the same building. Convenient! These two do not do anything in a normal pace and it is full steam ahead which is the only pace Gaston works which is great because they are perfect together. Family drama and work drama all go together until they get everything settled and happily ever after is on the horizon. I definitely love this series and cannot wait to see what is next up!

Baiting Him is the second book in the How to Catch an Alpha series. I loved this one! I liked Chrissie in the first book but this book definitely brought me into love territory. I also adored the hero, Gaston. He was amazing. I finished this book in a day and could not put it down. I can't wait to read more from Aurora Rose Reynolds!

Baking has consumed Chrissie’s life from morning to sunset. With the dream of owning a bakery a current reality, Chrissie has little time for anything else. With friends that are determined to pry Chrissie away for a night of fun, a bachelorette party is the focus for the night. While saddled up to the bar, Chrissie crosses paths with a sexy hunk that deserves far more than a second glance.

Imagine the surprise that Chrissie feels once she learns that the hunk she was flirting with owned the nightclub. Gaston is determined to make the interaction with Chrissie count. With a jilted heart, Chrissie can’t believe that any guy that stands out like Gaston would be interested in someone like her. There is an undeniable chemistry that sparks when Gaston and Chrissie interact. Where will it lead? Only time will tell if this night on the town turns into something more.

Have you had the pleasure of reading a book by Aurora Rose Reynolds? I have to admit that this is the FIRST book by the author, and I am hooked!! Gaston and Chrissie are quite the matchup! This duo exudes charm, witty banter, and an adorable connection of the heart. Baiting Him was a charming read that left me wanting to dive into more from this author!!

Club owner Gaston is in shock after meeting a woman who seems to want nothing to do with him. Annoyed that his charm & good looks didn’t effect her like other women, Gaston goes out of his way for a date with her.

Even though bakery owner Chrissie felt the instant attraction to smooth-talking Gaston, the last thing she needs is to be another notch on his belt. When he buys her flowers and won’t leave her alone, she finally agrees to go out with him. With Chrissie dealing with a lot of personal and family issues, Gaston continues to prove she can count on him.

This is a sweet story of two people who fall for each other hard. Gaston and Chrissie are adorable together, and loved seeing more of Leah & Tyler from the first book. Another great read from this author!
