The story between Tyler and Leah absolutely makes me happy. The writing is exceptional. The character depth and dimension is outstanding. The family and friends bring joy to the book. There is mystery, there is chemistry and there is love. The story moves smoothly and logically and makes for a quick read. Tyler's mom of course is not a favorite in the beginning. I hope that the detective gets a story and I'm torn between Chrissie and Heather, well I was torn until the Epilogue.

Another amazing read by Aurora Rose Reynolds. I really liked reading this boo and I was hooked from the very beginning. Leah and Tyler are so perfect together. Once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down. Leah made me laugh all through out the book and Tyler was such a great guy. I fell in love with him from the very first time, he is such a patient, loving and very protective. I also loved reading about Bruce. Omg I just fell in love with Bruce! 🐶🐾 I really enjoyed the story line and I am glad that both Leah and. Tyler got their HEA. Catching Him is a must read!!!

Fun sweet low angst romance. Loved both characters and both of their families. 
As much as I really liked this book I just wish here had been a little more conflict. Everything was very neat and tidy. I enjoyed it but I found myself bored a few times while reading.
If you’re in the mood for a low angst, sweet and sexy read then this is the book for you.

I've read two Aurora Rose Reynolds books before this one and have yet to understand the hype of the author. This one looked like it was going to be a cute, fun romance, so I decided to give the author one final chance. 

Everyone in Emerson's life wants her to settle down, but she hasn't found the right man yet. But when her cat breaks into her neighbor's house and she comes face to face with the hot new neighbor, Emerson is smitten. Tyler takes an immediate liking to Emerson and inserts himself into her life until Emerson can't ignore him anymore. 

Ugh. I honestly just think Aurora Rose Reynolds is not my cup of tea. There were so many things about this book that had me rolling my eyes and on the verge of putting this book down from 30% onward. First was the dialogue. While I was reading this, the dialogue felt so stiff and there was no way I could imagine people actually talking like that. The characters would sit around and talk about nothing and I was bored most of the time of this book. I also wasn't a fan of Emerson at all and how clueless and immature she acted as a woman in her early 30s. 

When it came to the romance, I was just not on board with this book. The pacing was weird and definitely insta-lovey. These guys were barely dating and telling each other I love you and meeting each other's families. There was a "mystery" thrown in at the end that was so obvious and random and I just wasn't a fan. 

The only reason I even finished this book was because I received a copy for review. If I picked it up on my own, I would have put it down before the halfway point. I think I'm done with this author and her alpha males and insta love plot lines.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone needs to bring up someone's dating past!! UGH!!! Especially when it is a family member. But Tyler shut it down. I love when  the H sees the h and he knows exactly what he wants and is willing to put in the time.  I loved this couple and their relationship and the cute pets!  I hope to get a story of her Best Friend and his sister.

Its no secret I am a fan of AAR and when I hear she has a new series coming out I get super excited. With this start to this new series I think she has already gotten me hooked on this How to Catch an Alpha series.

AAR has brought us a hot, sweet romance with minimal angst. She has given us humour and swoon in one book. I had this book devoured in one afternoon enjoying the sunshine in the garden. 

The main characters in Leah and Tyler are enticing. Leah was a feisty, amusing heroine who you can't help but fall in love with want her to be your friend. Tyler will make you swoon and your panties wet. He wants Leah from the moment they first meet, which it totally hilarious and a serious meet-cute.

Can't wait to see who AAR brings us next in this series.

Catching Him by Aurora Rose Reynolds will deliver exactly what you want in a contemporary romance if you like sweet heroines and devoted heroes! This was a quick read overall, but gives you all the happy vibes you need!

Leah is very sweet and down to earth. She has been burned by guys in the past so she refuses to settle or chase a man. She meets her new neighbor, Tyler, and there is instant attraction. But, she is going to wait for him to make a move. The angst is low for the most part-she has one douchebag ex who causes some issues, his mom is a bit rude-and I appreciated the focus on building a relationship. They are friends first and build some trust. Tyler has an adorable dog and Leah has a 'runner' cat and both pets add to the levity. There is also deep family bonds throughout the story. Leah is close with her family and that relationship is important to the story. Tyler doesn't live near his family, but they are a part of his life and play a role in the story.

Overall, Catching Him is a short and sweet read for those who want a straight forward romance. The angst is low, the characters are sweet, and the plot is engaging.

3 1/2 Star Review.....

Catching Him is the first book in Aurora Rose Reynolds' How to Catch an Alpha series and is packed with sugary sweetness and many laugh out loud moments. There’s a little bit of mystery, but minimal drama and angst to deter from the fun side of this story. Leah and Tyler are an engaging couple and their romance is depicted nicely. A light, easy to read story that leaves you smiling and feeling good.

ARR is a one click author for me.  I was only to happy to go on this new venture of hers.  This looks to be the first in a series. I am hoping we get to stay in this small town atmosphere the author has created.  Love all the quirkiness that comes with knowing everyone around you, nosy neighbors and well meaning family.  

Leah and Tyler have an adorable meet cute and the sweetness in the story just goes on from there.  Their pets bring some great moments.  Tyler is the ultimate southern gentlemen until he has decided that Leah has slowed the pace enough. Once he declares his intentions with her, things get steamy pretty fast. 

There is very little angst in this one.  Just a light fluff read that will make you smile.  The blurb eludes to some danger but it was not some great suspense moment. I had it figured out from the start. 

Perfect summer read. Looking forward to reading about Leah's best friend maybe???

I liked how this was low key drama and really sweet. Tyler is the super hot man next door and they meet over shenanigans with Leah’s cat. It was nice just to read a story that wasn’t over the top or super angsty, everything just sorta clicked with Tyler and Leah.

Catching Him is the first title in the How to Catch an Alpha series.  Leah and Tyler’s are an honest and likeable pair, their story is a sweet, swoony, heartfelt romance. 
Leah Emerson is sweet, kind, sincere and cheerful and has very strong ties with her family.  Tyler Duncan is a protective, possessive and hard working alpha. 
I adored everything about this fast paced, steamy romance from their meet cute, to the touch of intrigue, and the fact that their romance is low in angst and drama. 
The secondary characters were incredibly likeable, and I hope that we get to see some more of them in future addition to the How to Catch an Alpha series.

I didn’t read the blurb since I love all of Aurora’s books so I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, but I loved it. I was hooked from beginning to end. There were some funny moments, lots of swoon-worthy moments between Tyler and Leah. It is also low angst with very little drama and suspense. I am hoping some of the secondary characters end up getting a book too. If you’re looking at an easy feel-good read, then this is for you!

4 1/2 Stars! A quick swoon worthy read!

Leah is happy with her life ... she’s not looking for that special someone. But when Tyler moves in next door, her whole outlook on life changes. Tyler moved because he wasn’t happy at his job and was offered something more. But he couldn’t believe his luck when a beautiful woman falls through his window.

I just loved this cute, down-to-earth romance! I loved the fact that Leah was a hairdresser and Tyler was a construction worker ... ordinary people! Even the banter between the characters was so realistic. It was so funny when Leah went through the window of the house next door. It checked all the boxes ... funny, romantic and steamy! A great start to a new series!

Catching Him is the start of something. It's the first book in the How to Catch an Alpha series and I look forward to what I hope is a ton more. This feel good story has an unforgettable meet cute, two more than cute pets, and an Alpha you will be tripping on yourself to snag!

Sexy, sweet, and perfect are the words to describe Tyler. These two are adorable together and made my day! If you need an extra dose of sweet and sexy, look no further!

3.5 Super Sweet Stars

Leah’s a hardworking, animal loving single lady looking for love, minus the manipulations that normally come with it. Girlfriend is D-O-N-E with men playing games with her and she’s willing to bide her time until the right man comes along.

Tyler’s a hardworking, animal loving single guy ready to find a woman who won’t play games with his heart. As luck would have it, Tyler’s just bought the house next door to Leah’s. It also doesn’t hurt that both Tyler and Leah are gorgeous and light each other up like Christmas trees, even from the very first time Leah breaks into Tyler’s house and gets a gun pulled on her. It’s a long story.

Tyler knows within seconds Leah is the woman for him. Leah is attracted to Tyler but isn’t getting g her hopes up. One guess as to how long that friendship remained platonic, folks.

Overall, I really enjoyed Catching Him. This is a sweet (almost to saccharine levels) story and while those normally aren’t my jam, I found myself loving Tyler and Leah together. I kept waiting for the other show to drop, where Tyler turns into a jackass and confesses to having a wife stashed away somewhere or something, but luckily that never happened.

Sugar helps make the world go ‘round, but after awhile I wanted something more. A little more angst, a little more drama, whatever. I lasted a surprisingly long time without the need for something besides Leah and Tyler’s perfect love, but eventually I found myself a little bored.

Catching Him is a cute little love story made just for those times you feel the need to take a hiatus from the drama normally found in romances. Tyler and Leah are a fabulous mix of sweet and hot and if they’re anything to go by, I can’t wait for the rest of the series.

Another awesome book by Aurora Rose Reynolds. This book was amazing.
Loved Leah. She is how I like my heroines in the books I read. Funny, sassy, sweet and also strong. She meets Tyler when she literally fall into his life. He’s her arrogant, cocky and hot neighbor. 
Tyler..he is protective and possessive alpha male. Loved him. He knew what he wanted and he wants Leah. 
This story is a light read with little to no angst and we get a lot of couple time that I loved very much. 
The chemistry between Leah and Tyler and was hot. I’ve read it in one sitting. 
I couldn’t put it down and didn’t want it to end. 
I really can’t wait to read more of this series. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ STARS!!
