Baiting Him (How to Catch An Alpha series) by Aurora Rose Reynolds was a sweet and steamy read! I loved Gus and Chrissie. The over protective hero gets me every single time. Swoon worthy! If you haven't read the How to Catch An Alpha series, get started immediately (this is the second book in this series).

I absolutely love all her books and this one was perfection!

Great depth of the characters and the storyline kept me intrigued!

Apologies for the late response on this title, and apologies for clogging up an inbox on old titles.

While I am aware it's obvious, I have chosen not to read/review this title.

As always, I appreciate access to titles and look forward to the next one...which I have likely already read based on how long ago this title was published.

Thanks, again.

Omg!!! Aurora does it again!! I absolutely adored this book! She’s definitely the queen of insta love books and is one of the best at writing them.

Gaston aka Gus! A swoon worthy hero that you immediately fall in love with.
Chrissie is sweet strong and the perfect partner for Gaston.
From the moment these two meet in the mens room at Gus nightclub sparks fly.
This was the perfect quick, swoony, hot book to add to your collection.

You won’t be disappointed!

First i have to get over the fact that the guy is named Gaston, (Hello Beauty and the beast reference) but the chemistry was so bland, and boring...Gaston was no alpha. And their insta-love was blah.

This story was really sweet.
It wasn't as insta as other books by the author but when the couple meet they feel an instant connection but it is taken at a more realistic pace.
There is some obvious other woman drama brewing but nothing too drastic between her and the Hero.
There are no intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.
No cheating.
Family issues for the heroine.
HEA.
Epilogue.
Secondary characters introduced for possible future storylines.

As this features a trope I just never like (accidental pregnancy), I decided early on to not keep reading this book only to give it a negative review for something that is not the book's fault.

This is one of those books where the more I think about it, the lower my opinions on it get. So at first glance and without thinking too hard, this was a quick, enjoyable read!

I enjoyed Gaston (despite all of the red flags, but we'll let those go for romance reasons), and the first chapter was fantastic and really sucked me in. I was looking for more of that! But in the end, not much happens? It's less of a story-driven "plot" (and I feel bad for saying this, but I really am using the word "plot" loosely here) and more of a look into the lives of these two for a few weeks. Everything moves incredibly fast, Chrissie cries a lot, and I really disliked the storyline with the father.

Honestly, outside of there not being much of a plot, my biggest upset with this book were two phrases. One was, "'I don't mind parking out here, and it's not like I'm walking a mile in the dark through the ghetto to get into the building,'..." The second was, "I sit Indian-style with my back to the headboard,..."

This was published in 2020. There are other ways to word those two phrases without using antiquated, offensive (racist) descriptors. Let's do better.

This book is the 3rd book in this series and with every one I say this is my Favourite. Aurora Rose Reynolds always gives us such beautiful and Fluffy love stories with a twist. And ladies she didn't disappoint with this book. I was so hooked that I read it in one sitting.



Anna is such a beautiful soul that has been hurt emotionally by ppl that are supposed to love and support her.

Her making a move to carve out the life she deserves was so strong of her. I was so proud of her.



Calvin is just yummmmmy, protective and fierce when he wants something, he has set his site on our sweet Anna. Even though when they firta meet he is a giant ass.



Watching these two fall inlove and break down Anna's wall was so beautiful. I was addicted to their story and their hot hot chemistry.

I live how Calvin won Anna over and the rest as you say is history.



I loved that Anna had formed her path and own family. Eddie and her friends are hilarious and I found myself LOL so many times.

This book has the good kinda angst and mystery which I absolutely loved.



Grab this book I promise you that you will love it.

Enjoy!!!

Loved this book!
It had all the vibes of an Aurora Rose Reynolds book...
One of my favorite things in books is when the main character owns or runs a bakery. I know it is a very weird and specific thing but I love books with that so this book was perfect for me!

The hero was the typical alpha male and everything you can expect from an Aurora book.

Can only recommend this and all other of her books if you like alpha males, funny heroines, a little suspense and a whole lot of romance

I love this book! I love how Chrissy and Gaston meet. I love how she made him work for it. I love them together.

This was a great 2nd book. I loved Leah and Tyler but Chrissy and Gaston were just as awesome. They were really in sync and there was just enough drama to test their mettle. And when he roared in on his motorcycle for her? SWOON!

Loved this book so hard.

Gaston and Chrissie are the perfect follow up for Catching Him! Another Alpha that fell, and in a spectacular way! Ms. Reynolds knows exactly how to BAIT us, and keep us hooked with her sweet and sexy, perfectly balanced stories! Baiting Him was just as addictive as Chrissie’s creations seem to be! :)

This book was so entertaining. I was drawn into the story from the beginning and was involved until the end. The characters were complex and interesting. I found the story to be well paced and engrossing throughout the whole book. I was invested in the couple throughout the book and felt all the emotions through both the highs and lows of the story.The side characters were such an integral part of this story as well. This is the love story i needed to read at this time. If you want an entertaining and well written book this is it for you

An easy to read story about a busy woman finding love with a strong man.

Chrissie and Gaston falling in love was so simple and flowed so well. It was easy and had so many moments that made me smile. Throw in a cute little dog named LeFou and we have a winner.

I really enjoyed this one. I'm a sucker for a book with a character that is a baker. Chrissie sounds like someone I would like to work for. Gaston is yummy. Plus you can't go wrong with a guy who like animals. This shows how sometimes the relationship with our parents is a difficult one, but it's never too late. It was nice to catch up with the characters from the first book. The epilogue in this one is everything. It made me one very happy reader. It's a sweet story with heat that will instantly have you sucked right in. I also loved the touch of humor in this book. It's one enjoyable read.

although I am the biggest fan of Aurora Rose Reynolds, I had to give this book a 3 stars. It wasnt as good as the first book. With that being said, Gaston, like all her other heros was drool worthy.

Gaston was the star for me, I'm always happy with an alpha hero that's devoted to the female lead no matter what and is determined for her to know she's it for him. Chrissie fell very flat for me and was quite immature. I don't think I enjoyed her for Gaston, but they weren't all bad together. They certainly flared hot for one another more often than not and that's not a bad thing, in my opinion. The plot was rushed, more like it was forgotten until the very end where the resolution was undeveloped and a bit of a cop out. Keeping the angst low was ideal, we were just promised something with a little drama, a little flair, but were left unsatisfied with how it played out. A cute story that fits well with many of ARR's stories, Baiting Him is a quick read for those who want a light story with little drama to force the characters apart. 3.5 stars rounded up.

I am fan of ARR and really love her Until series. Baiting Him was also similar to the Until series. Gaston and Chrissie's story was wonderful like all ARR books. There are lots of sweet and swoon worthy moments throughout the book. The story is quite fast paced and is fun and easy to read.

This was an okay book and the storyline was decent but something about it made it difficult to keep my attention.

I didn't really see Gaston as an alpha. He was sexy and gorgeous, of course, but I think (at least when it came to Chrissy, anyway) that he was a teddy bear. He was so swooningly sweet to her. She came first, even early in their relationship? Does he have a brother? I thought they had a great love story and he was there when she needed him most. Loved it!
