Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Unfortunately this romance was not my style. Chrissie seemed nice enough but I could not stand Gaston's character. Bossy, demanding and unoriginal. He ruined the whole story for me, pretending to be caring and genuine while being overbearing and arrogant. Disappointing.

Baiting Him is book two in the series. I really liked it. I loved Chrissie and Gaston. Gaston was pretty swoony! Chrissie and Gaston had great chemistry from the beginning and were just perfect for each other. They were sizzling together!! Loved loved them.

This is the second book in the Catching Him series. I really enjoyed the first book, so I'm glad there was another one. We met Chrissie in the first book. She's friends with the main character of Leah in that book. This book has dual perspectives between Chrissie and Gaston.

We meet Gaston when Chrissie decided to skip the female bathroom to use the mens in what we learn is his club. From there on the romance continues :). I also loved Gaston's little sidekick LeFou. Funny Beauty and the Beast reference. However Gaston was no villain in this story. I really enjoyed the dialogue between the two characters, and they brought in plenty of side characters if the author decided to continue on this story line :).

I enjoyed this story and would recommend this series to others.

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

Cute story. I enjoyed watching Gaston (I laughed every time I read his name.) and Chrissie find their way to each other. Some good laughs in this story and a good read.

Baiting Him is the second book in Aurora Rose Reynolds' How to Catch an Alpha series and follows Chrissie, Leah's friend from book one. Chrissie has seen her friends through bad dates and relationships, and even her own mom through a failed marriage. Which leaves her less than excited to start her own relationship and the reason she first blows off Gaston aka Gus when they meet. But Gus is a man that knows what he wants and decides to not let Chrissie run scared.

These two had such a cute relationship and I loved reading about it. Gus wasn't as posessive as ARR usually writes her heroes but he was still a complete Alpha that made Chrissie is whole focus. The connection between them was sweet and heated with moments of strong passion. It made the book really intriguing and easy to get stuck in.

The story was very low on angst which left even more moments to focus on Chrissie and Gus, and their relationship. We did have some emotional scenes thrown in with Chrissie's family and they actually helped bring her even closer to Gus and provided a ton of cute moments.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we get Chrissie's story and we are introduced to Gaston "Gus". When this book opens we find the girls at night club dancing and celebrating Leah's bachlorette party. At some point like everything for women during a night out Chrissie has to use the restroom. While there she finds that the men's has no one in it and no line so she goes there and just happens to tell the woman that was in line behind her about this. The owner of the club finds her at the bar and tells her that now the men can't use the restroom because of her. Something starts right there for Chrissie with Gus but she is worried she doesn't have the time to put into a relationship and so she holds off with him. Gus has never met a woman like Chrissie and wants to know more about her. He sends her flowers the night after they meet at his club and then hears nothing. He tells his best friend and manager that he can't stop thinking about this girl but believes she just isn't interested. When his friend tells him to go see her he figures he will give it one more shot. How else can he possibly see the woman he can't get his mind off of. Will these two find the HEA they really are hoping for or is there someone out there ready to make sure that never happens?

This is another hit out of the park for this author. It has its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Once again Aurora Rose Reynolds creates a man who knows how to love and that you want to love. Gaston (Gus) is everything you want to fall in love with. He is sexy, smart, and thoughtful. He walks into a room and woman are struck dumb. Chrissie who has been hurt before and has watch the 30 plus year marriage of her parents fall part in the roughest way is not sure she is ready to put herself out there. Chrissie has no faith in men and certainly not one as tall dark and handsome as Gaston. Baiting Him is the combination of amazing characters that you can’t help but love. Everything from the best friend who calls you out, to a mother who might be craziest of them all, to a sweet little ball of fur. Gaston sees what he wants and goes after it. He doesn’t let Chrissie and her insecurities stand in his way. The story is captivating, and you are there with them through every laugh and every tear. Their story is so enchanting you will not be able to put it down. The perfect book to snuggle on the couch and get lost in their love.

I swear, every time I read one of Aurora Rose Reynolds books they get better and better. No one writes a sweet perfect alpha male better than she does. Gus! Oh my! He made my heart swoooooon. He was honestly perfect! He only sees our heroine Chrissie and is so supportive of her and has that perfect balance of what we all look for in a hero. These two characters had a LOT of chemistry. You could feel it right from their initial meeting which was hilarious! I think a lot of us can relate to Chrissie in how she physically see's herself but she doesn't let that hold her back. Even though she has some family issues she didn't let it stop her from staying true to herself. I love reading a strong heroine and she was perfect! The secondary characters were great! Gus' mom was a hoot and it was so wonderful reading Chrissie's mom find herself again. I'm a lover of a good epilogue and ARR always delivers! It was perfect! I highly recommend this book! Five stars!

I'm a sucker for romance novels especially ones with sexy, Alpha makes and the sweetest women they find. Baiting him filled my romance need perfectly!
The story isn't anything new and it's filled with cliches but I loved the happiness that it provided for a few hours.
Gaston and Crissie worked from the beginning of the book until the end. There is a little drama but nothing that they couldn't handle.
I'm glad we get to see what Leah and Tyler are up too.
There were a few characters introduced that I'm hoping they get their own book especially her mom!

Baiting Him is the second book in the How to Catch an Alpha series, and it's a another romcom gem.

I'm a fan of Aurora Rose Reynolds, and so her books are generally a one-click for me. They always have elements of humor, strong characters, witty dialog, low angst and a solid plot. I'm happy to report that Baiting Him lives up to my expectations, and it delivers what I wish for in a romcom.

Gaston and Chrissie make reading their story effortless. They have instant attraction, but neither is looking for love, so it takes time for their relationship develop, which makes the book feel genuine. Plus revisiting past Aurora Rose Reynolds characters is always a bonus.

I will definitely read more in this series and more from this author.

A quick read!

Chrissie recently opened her own bakery and that's all she has time for because she wants to make sure her parents hard work to put her through school will pay off. But one night while out at a bachelorette party, she meets Gaston and her whole life changes. Gaston is the hot hunk owner of a night club and that, along with the two bars that he owns, keeps him busy. Then one night he spies Chrissie and he is enamoured with her ... he wants her and not just in his bed.

Although the premise of this book is good, I just found that everything that happened was expected. And Gaston was just too perfect. But Ms. Reynolds sure knows how to write a steamy scene.

I received an early copy courtesy of Montlake Romance through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

What a great story. We met Christie in book one, and she was a secondary character you couldn’t help but love. So when I saw book 2 was her story I couldn’t wait.

This is a feel good story from start to finish. While Gus is most definitely an alpha male, his sensitive side is one I think readers will connect with. chrissie and her sass keeps the dynamic between the two Sizzling.
I think one of my favorite things about this series is that there isn’t this big flaw in the main characters relationship, the book just shows you the progression of their relationship. Aurora really makes her character feel like the are real people that anyone would be friends with

A big thank you to NetGalley and Montlake Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is part of a series, but reads great as a stand alone. I found the characters to be very likeable. Fun book, a hint of mystery. A little family drama-the normal relationship. Found this to be very enjoyable and a quick read. 4 stars. I think most romance readers would enjoy.

Aurora Rose Reynolds has this ability to make you want that insta-love and her writing makes you believe that there is another half to your soul. This story has her trademark Alpha-goodness while wanting you want to be the lead heroine, or want to be the heroine's best friend. This story makes you hold your breath and wonder which way this story will go and leave you breathless in anticipation and the ending is just perfect!

*plotting all the ways to make ARR my BFF so I can have all her words while she’s writing them because I need more*

When I open an Aurora Rose Reynolds book, I know I’m going to love it. It’s inevitable.

Baiting Him is book two of the How yo Catch an Alpha series. It has that typical ARR alpha but with a twist... he was a cuddly teddy bear with a contagious and free laugh. AND I LOVED HIM.

When I first started this book, there were so many lines that I just thought “ME. OMG, ME!” Chrissie was so relatable and goofy and I felt like I was reading about my best friend.

Baiting Him by Aurora Rose Reynolds is book Two in the How to Catch an Alpha Series. This is the story of Gaston and Chrissie. I have read the previous book which added to my enjoyment of this book but I did think this was a standalone book. Chrissie has a new bakery in town trying to start fresh but of course things start happening from her past. Gaston owns bars in the area and his eye is caught on Chrissie. This was a page turner read for me. I didn't put it down until I was done. This was a relatively easy read. I hope to read more from this author and series soon!

If you loved the first book in this series you will simply love this one. AAR has done what she does best and given us a sweet, easy romance.

Chrissie meets Gaston at a nightclub during her best-friends bachelorette party. Its a serious Meet-Cute <3

With minimal angst this is an easy to read, sweet, feel-good romance. Gaston and his cute dog LeFou really steal your heart. Gaston knows what he wants and will go after it and make sure he gets it. Chrissie never really stood a chance.

I am loving this series and looking forward to the next one in this series Hooking Him

This is a great book, with an awesome first meeting, a ton of romance with a swoony hero, and an adorable little dog! Loved it!

Super cute fun read! I really enjoyed it! I love Aurora so much and this book did not disappoint! The time line was a little confusing but overall quick fun read!

I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first book in the series. In this second book, Leah's best friend Chrissie finds her true love. She meets Gaston ( whose dog is named LeFou, so CUTE) who owns several bars in the area. Chrissie owns a bakery called Sweet Spot. They meet and fall in love. Pretty simple stuff and not much happens in terms of the plot, but it is a really adorable story and very enjoyable. Gaston is a gentleman and he and Chrissie are adorable together.
