And again! These books are like my addiction. One small taste and I'm begging for more. I read the first page and then it's like i got sucked inside the book and couldn't get out, not that i minded since i didn't realise i was so engrossed it was like one of those times where your so into your book you can't even remember you reading it your just seeing everything happen in your head like your actually there.
Gaston and Chrissie was amazing together, i loved their relationship from the very beginning when they meet to the end and everything inbetween!
Gaston was like all Auroras alphas, growly and protective and only has eyes for his girl.
Chrissie was amazing, she was so easy to like, she was sweet but had the little bit of sass to her that keeps you on your toes.
I loved seeing Tyler and Leah again and seeing how they are getting on after their book!
Amazing as always!

Chrissie and Gaston’s simple insta-romance made me swoon and smile the whole time. With his protectiveness and assertiveness, Gaston was the perfect alpha who had a really sweet side that melted my heart. Chrissie was the nerdy, down-to-earth girl who you cannot help but adore. I loved that their relationship was honest and natural. There were no mind-games and few dramas on their route to their much deserved HEA. The secondary characters were interesting and added entertainment to the book. I absolutely enjoyed this easy and fluffy story and it’s the perfect romantic read for the holidays.

Baiting Him is book 2 in the How to Catch an Alpha Series. I really enjoyed Baiting Him. I loved Chrissie and Gaston.

An amazing read:
Another fabulous book by this talented author. It was a light, easy read however it kept me engaged throughout. There was just the right mix of romance, heat and drama. I also enjoyed the humor. I didn't really get the title or statement that she was baiting him as that was not at all what transpired. Rather it was more about Gaston pursuing Cassie and her not being able to resist his charms. I loved that Gaston was caring, tender and protective towards Cassie. Everyone needs a Gaston in their life!
This was book two of a series and whilst a standalone, I did miss some of the background information such as the name of the city/state they were in. All I knew was that it was at the beach! However this did not detract from my overall enjoyment of this book and I look forward to reading more in this series.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

I loved this book! The chemistry between the main characters was off the charts and the secondary characters are just as amazing! I can’t wait to to hear from more of them in future installments to this series!! Thanks for the opportunity!

I absolutely devoured this story! Chrissie and Gaston are my freaking favorite! Chrissie definitely has some trust issues when it comes to relationships (with good reason) and Gaston just wants his woman! So where can I find my Gaston?? This story was so amazing and I’m not at all surprised because anything we get from Aurora is absolute GOLD! To me this story was fast paced but only because I literally could not stop reading! I was so sad for it to end, so I’ll probably be doing a reread as soon as I finish this review! It’s perfect and deserving of all the stars!!!

This is the first book that I read by this writer. Love it! I love the little nod to Beauty and the beast with the character names Gaston and Le Fou. The heroine is great. I love the hero too. They have great chemistry together. I love out loud quite a bit while reading it. :)

Loved it! Another hit for aurora rose reynolds. As always the man was swoonworthy. Gus is possessive, bossy but also supportive and the sweetest he can be to Chrissie. A super sexy combo. An all around great read once again

*I voluntarily provide my feedback for Baiting Him in exchange of a complementary advanced copy by Give Me Books Promotion!* Thank you.

Mrs.Reynolds never fails to flutter those butterflies in my belly. Baiting Him was a sweet, fun, romantic, humorous and tacky read for me. I loved both the characters as well as the side ones and/or repeated ones. It was a cliched plot with fun storyline and quite life-like situations. For a lazy weekend read, this would be perfect with all the swoons right under the sleeve. And Gaston + LeFou = Best Combo ever. Releasing on 14th January, better watch out for this book!

4.5 stars

Definitely my favorite from this author so far. I really enjoyed the connection between the main characters. This didn't feel like an instant-love relationship and instead gradually built up getting to know each other as their story progressed. Even though this still happened quickly, it wasn't overly cheesy which I liked. I had to have a little chuckle at Gaston's name. Luckily he wasn't a villain. :) He wasn't a caveman like I was expecting either. He was protective of Chrissie but nothing over the top.

A very enjoyable book and I am looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Not my first read by this author, she is one of my top 3 favorite and first read authors also! AND I have read every single book by Aurora!! Book 1 was FAN-TAS-TIC and this one did not disappoint, the first one sets the tone and this one fits right in. Absolutely loved everything about it, the lightness or the read, the ROMANCE, the characters and even a little but of danger, everything went well together in a beautiful package.

Chrissie is a sweet character, as the heroine she really lives up to it. When she is out with her girls and ends up meeting a tall dark and OH SO SEXY man who she has no idea is…things start off a little FUNNY. She basically tells him TO LEAVE. But Gaston YES YES YES like the character from Beauty & The Beast is not a quitter or a man to shy away from things he wants. And he wants Chrissie who is a curvy, gorgeous and a spitfire. On the road to winning he rover there is a lot of beautiful moments, sexy moments, lots of laughter and heart and not to mention LeFou THE DOG!

A MUST READ!

I loved this book! I’ve never read a hero with the name Gaston, he was sweet to our heroine. I love the heroine. She strong yet vulnerable and I loved how hero treated her so gently. He was an amazing man and amazing son. He loved his mama so much.

I can’t wait to read more books in this series. Can’t we get Anna bell book next?

What can I say? I just love Aurora Rose Reynolds' Alpha guys. Whether in the Until Him/Her series, Fluke of my Life series, the Underground Kings series and now the How to catch an Alpha series. The guys are always swooning hot and they go straight for the girl. Makes all your girly parts giggle, I swear.
In Baiting him we meet Gaston with his little dog Le Fou (yes really... for a diehard Disney fan like me this is just hilarious). As a rich and hot owner of a nightclub, he isn't used to be ignored by a woman. And that is exactly what Chrissie is doing. She is busy setting up her own bakery. After years of saving, she has opened up her own cupcake bakery. So she doesn't have time for men. When she meets Gaston at the bachelorette party of Leah (yeah, from Catching Him), she doesn't realize he is the owner of the club where they are partying.
When she turns him down flat, he is determined to show her that he means business. Because Gaston is used to getting his way and now his sights are set on her. Will Chrissie be swept of her feet by the villain of the village? Or maybe there is something good beneath the harsh exterior. Find out for yourself in this swoonworthy cute romance. I'm eagerly awaiting Hooking Him, the next book in this series. Well done, Arurora! Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

The second in a series you don't have to read in order, but it certainly helps!

Chrissie inadvertently attractions the attention of Gaston... he is not used to women blowing him off and the woman that does intrigues him.

This was a light read made all the more entertaining by Gaston's slightly cruel mother (se Disney inspired name) made even worse by giving him a small poofball of a dog that only answers to LeFou!

I loved this book! Gus was so dreamy and swoony. Aurora always writes great characters and Chrissie was amazing. Highly recommend!

Baiting Him started out good but left me wanting more. More depth, more realistic romance, more action, more drama. Gaston, the hero of the novel felt too good to be true. Even if he had no flaws there was still no tension. The heroine felt one dimensional and I had no clue why the hero fell in love with her. I really felt there was no character development which impacted how I interpreted the character relationship.

Chrissie and Gaston are wonderful characters. I love Chrissie how she gets flustered around Gaston and rambles. Gaston is a strong man who is sure of himself and what he wants and goes after it.

This story grabbed me from the get go and I didn’t look back! Loved this story!

Chrissy’s life consists of one thing, her bakery and it leaves little time for anything else. While celebrating her friend’s upcoming nuptials at a night club she encounters the club’s owner Gus. The two engage in a witty exchange and have an instant attraction to each other that has Gus seeking her out in the days that follow. Convinced this guy is way out of her league, Chrissy takes a chance and goes out with Gus. The result…a sweet, funny, cute, falling in love story.

Things seem to move along quickly but it works. There was instant connection with the characters and the chemistry there. There was something about these characters that was really relatable.
Quick, fun, hot cocoa-by the fire read for a snowy Saturday.

Baiting Him is a sweet, adorable, and lighthearted story, easy to fall into and not want to escape. There was just enough drama to keep the story moving, but it wasn't overwhelming or heavy-feeling. Loved the moments of tough love and how most of the conflict came from outside sources. Once Chrissie and Gaston got on the same page (which really didn't take long - another win!), it was them together against the trials.

Loved Gaston's pursuit of Chrissie, always being the safe spot she didn't even realize how badly she needed. Loved Chrissie's big heart and how she took care of the people in her life.

I'm loving this new series of ARR's and I'm looking forward to what the next book has in store.

Very cute upbeat, left me smiling the entire time. Loved reading it. Well written, highly entertaining and very realistic settings. Story told like you are actually there observing it all happening first hand. Emotions realistic, intense and free flowing. The chemistry is realistic leaving you wanting it it your own life.
