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!

I am a huge fan of ARR but I love this series! 

What an amazing story! Loved it from start to finish. Funny, emotional and captured my attention from the first page. I loved the Disney references and just wished I too could meet a Gaston!

This book was perfect. Persistence pays, and Gaston is determined! I waited with baited breath, for him to make his move, because I knew it would be amazing! This story left me with a smile on my face, and gladness in my heart.

Aurora has done it again. Easiest five stars I think I’ve given to one of her books besides Until December. If you know me well, then you know I can never get enough of how ARR writes such easy romance. I love that there is hardly any angst. LOVE IT!

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 and swoon. For me, it doesn’t really any get better than that.  I have no idea why this should be a surprise though everything she touches is golden.

ARR has done it again!!! I don't know how she keeps coming up with all these wonderful amazing books!!! And the Alphas name Gaston oh I loved it especially when his dog came in the picture!!!! And I was so happy this was Chrissie book. Part of this book absolutely broke my heart. But other parts made me swoon,made me laugh and made me just overall happy.  And I would highly highly recommend this book or any book by Aurora!!! -By Tina

A super sweet and cute book! 
I liked Chrissie in the first book and was looking forward to her book and get to know her Hero! I really liked Gaston and he was the perfect hero for her! 
The complication in the story was short and easily resolved! So less of an angst in the relationship part of the couple.
But overall it was a rather sweet and quick read for your usual downtime!

I've seen books by Aurora Rose Reynolds lot on bookstagram, so I was really excited to pick Baiting Him up! This was my first book by the author, and I must say, I'm really impressed! 💙
Gaston & Chrissie's story was so enjoyable to read! I couldn't keep the book down at all. I loved the author's writing style. She has the ability to fully engage readers into the storyline. Can't wait to read more books by her! 
4/5 🌟 Thanks to the publisher for the e-arc.

Hot sexy business owner Gaston is attracted to Chrissie from the minute he walks into the room and finds her invading a space she shouldn't be in.  Avoiding him from there isn't an easy thing to do once he has set his mind to getting to know her better.

This book is hot, sexy and such a fun story.  Gaston and Chrissie have amazing chemistry and there are so many interesting characters in this book that it had me wishing the story wouldn't end..

5 star

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, sweet love, suspense, and secrets.

Before reading this story please read the below books first
Catching Him (How to Catch an Alpha #1)


This is Chrissie and Gaston’s story. Chrissie just does not have time for men and all the compilations they bring. She has enough on her plate with her bakery. But Gaston sees her and knows he wants her. He is going to have to work for her though as she is going to fight him on this. As they get closer someone is not happy about that and is willing to show and take down anyone in the way. Can he protect Chrissie and also get her to fall all the while fighting the danger that surrounds him?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next story from this author.

'No one looks like Gaston. No one cooks like Gaston. No one refuses to read a good book like Gaston'

Those few words (that I sang to the tune!) after a bathroom incident, set the scene on Gaston's pursuit of Chrissie, the fall and the drama that unfolds. And it was wonderful!

Another great, short hit from this author.

A feel-good story that has Gaston “Gus” a successful owner of three bars having to tell women no thank you when they make a pass at him, if he so chooses. He is at one of his bars one night where a bachelorette party is taking place when he hears her voice and then spots Chrissy, who also is a business owner. She owns sweet spot a bakery. When he goes to introduce himself and would like to get to know her better, she declines. That is something that does not happen to him, Gus is not used to having a woman say no to him.
  Wanting to get to know her he begins with showing up at her bakery every day. He has to come up with ways to get her to interact with him and lower her shield in order to let him in. he is wanting to get to know her for he feels a connection to her and he thinks she feels it as well.
    This is really a nice story with very little drama just a good story with good characters. Overall a good book.

3.5 
This was a delightful addition to the series. I really enjoyed my time with it and found the story to just be sweet and fluffy. It has mandatory drama that all of Aurora Rose Reynolds books but it really hit the spot. 

Also I really want cupcakes now.

Super cute story of Gaston and Chrissie... 
Chrissie had everything as far as her dream except her love life.  As a maid of honor to her best friend, she was doing her best to keep the party going.  While sitting at a bar waiting for her drink, super sexy man starts conversation with her but it wasn't friendly conversation since she let a little secret regarding restroom situation. She didn't give into his charm and his looks, he called on him on his BS.  
Gus never expected to meet someone who called on him. She was very different and he couldn't her of his mind and he was trying to woo her by sending biggest bouquet to her bakery but she hasn't responded back to her.  It's driving him crazy and he is willing to win her.  
Chrissie wasn't sure but once she finds his name Gaston, she is relating him to "Beauty and the Beast" villain.  However, their conversation flows smoothly and he is more than she expected.  Plus he is excellent cook and lives in same building as he does.  
Everything goes so well for both.  Who doesn't love a little pub named "LeFou".  Gaston is every women dream but Chrissie's parents situation is not helping her.  But he comes to rescue her and loves her.  Who doesn't love that.  
It was super cute story.  I think every women deserves their own Gaston.  It was perfect romance story for anyone who loves HEA.  
Thanks to Montlake publishing and Netgalley for my ARC in exchange for honest review.

Baiting Him was a good, easy to read, insta-love story. It was just the story I needed to read, light banter that made me smile and laugh, little angst, and not alot of drama. The characters are so sweet together. Chrissie works hard at her bakery, she puts others before herself, and Gaston was just the man to see to her needs. I liked that past characters from previous books were in the story. Looking forward to the third book in the series.


I received this from Netgalley.
