Aurora has done a great job with this book. I loved it. I'm really liking this series. It can be read as a standalone even though it's the second book. I loved the characters and the whole story.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Baiting Him is one of those stories that will melt your heart and have you grinning the whole time. Gaston and Chrissie are two characters that will find their way deep under your skin, their story will have you overflowing with happiness and they will show you what true love is. A story that is passionate, endearing, heartfelt and enchanting. Their journey might at times be sweet like candy but believe me it has enough heat and passion to warm you from head to toe. It won’t be just Chrissie and Gaston falling in love, you will fall right along with them.

4.5 stars!

The thing I love most about Aurora's books are how easy they are to read. Sometimes, you need to escape from heavy and dark books, even if they are romances too, and her books are the perfect antidote. She has been a one click author to me for years, after reading her Until series, and I have loved every story she has written.

Baiting Him is the second book in the How To Catch An Alpha series, about Chrissie, Leah from book one's best friend. Chrissie meets Gus on Leah's bachelorette party and although their initial meeting doesn't go to plan, the minute these two gave into their undeniable chemistry, their relationship shoots to the next level. Although there is some family drama and a slight twist at the end, everything works out for this couple and it makes such a sweet story.

I love Aurora's alpha male heroes and Gus did not disappoint. He was protective and charming, but so hot too. He knew what he wanted and went for it, the attraction between him and Chrissie was undeniable. And I loved Le Fou too!!

Chrissie was sassy, intelligent and so beautiful. She kept her heart closely guarded thanks to being let down by multiple male figures in her life, and was fiercely independent. However, it only took the right man to push through those barriers and restore her faith and trust in men.

This is such a sweet and easy read and I can't wait for book 3!

First of all, Gaston is the perfect man! He's gorgeous, caring, understanding and can cook. He is totally swoon worthy. Chrissie doesn't have time for men. She owns a bakery and is always working. After catching Gaston's attention at his club, Twilight, he can't get the woman who is sassy and made him laugh off his mind. Chrissie finally gives him a chance and things move pretty quickly. It was easy to fall in love with them as they fell in love with each other.

A low drama, fast paced story that is full of heat and love.

I absolutely adored this latest book in the How To Catch An Alpha series!!! Chrissie doesn't have time for anything let alone a relationship. She is consumed with her bakery and what little time she has left is helping her mom through a rough patch. So when she meets Gaston she doesn't think much about it except for the fact that he is hot. Gaston is persistent and knows that she is someone special and wants to explore their connection. Their chemistry is off the charts and Chrissie knows that Gaston is someone special but can she depend on him when others have let her down.
I was hooked from the first page and hated to see it end. I swooned, cried a bit, laughed and was rooting for them throughout. Their connection was instanteous and the heart knows what the heart wants and Gaston knew that Chrissie was it for him. I loved this book so much and I highly recommend it to all. I can't wait to read what this talented author comes out with next. Well done!!!

Just a perfectly lovely romance! Loved the chemistry between these two. This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand alone.

Chrissie was sweet and such a good person. Gaston stole the show for me though. Super thoughtful, romantic, a bit alpha and a whole lot of s3xy! Chrissie tried to feel not worthy of his attentions. He was not about to let her feel that way. Gaston set about to win her over no matter what.

There is a little bit of tension from Gaston's work. Honestly, it barely registered for me. The focus of the story was two people getting to trust and know one another.

Sweet story by this author and worth the read!

AAR never lets me down!
I fly through her books in hours. They are quick reads, but have everything I'm looking for to entertain my mind for a few hours.

I always find myself letting myself read another chapter and another. I always finish one of hers and immediately go into reread an old one because I can't get enough.
Gaston, (Beauty and the Beast) aka Gus is a man after Cassie. Only Cassie is not looking. However, Gus pursues until she can't say no. Cassie is a sweet baker, but has been burned more than once and has build up walls for charming sweet men like Gus.
Add a sweet little dog and this book is adorable.

This one was just plain fun with lots of sexy times added in to keep it moving along. It starts off with Chrissie celebrating at Leah's bachelorette party where she meets the club owner Gaston. He is yummy, too yummy for his own good and she tells him to leave her alone which he does not do and sends her flowers with his number. No, she does not call which really does not go over well but thankfully he is persistent and when they do finally get together find out they live in the same building. Convenient! These two do not do anything in a normal pace and it is full steam ahead which is the only pace Gaston works which is great because they are perfect together. Family drama and work drama all go together until they get everything settled and happily ever after is on the horizon. I definitely love this series and cannot wait to see what is next up!

Baiting Him is the second book in the How to Catch an Alpha series. I loved this one! I liked Chrissie in the first book but this book definitely brought me into love territory. I also adored the hero, Gaston. He was amazing. I finished this book in a day and could not put it down. I can't wait to read more from Aurora Rose Reynolds!

I believe this is my first Aurora Rose Reynolds' book to read, despite my friend loving her and recommending her to me a while back. But I loved this book. It is such a feel good, full of hope, the most swoonworthy male character, and a great female lead who wears her heart on her sleeve. There were so many cute scenes, especially with the girls Chrissie had working with her in their excitement over Gaston. And any scene Gaston and Chrissie shared either puts a smile on your face, a need for a fan, or a tear in your heart. Gaston is just a perfect man who went for what he wanted and never wavered from getting Chrissie. Goodnight the man is intoxicating. Chrissie gave as good as she got. I loved all the family interactions, even if they were heartbreaking at times. Such a beautifully written book that makes me want to read more of Mrs. Reynolds' stories.

Baking has consumed Chrissie’s life from morning to sunset. With the dream of owning a bakery a current reality, Chrissie has little time for anything else. With friends that are determined to pry Chrissie away for a night of fun, a bachelorette party is the focus for the night. While saddled up to the bar, Chrissie crosses paths with a sexy hunk that deserves far more than a second glance.

Imagine the surprise that Chrissie feels once she learns that the hunk she was flirting with owned the nightclub. Gaston is determined to make the interaction with Chrissie count. With a jilted heart, Chrissie can’t believe that any guy that stands out like Gaston would be interested in someone like her. There is an undeniable chemistry that sparks when Gaston and Chrissie interact. Where will it lead? Only time will tell if this night on the town turns into something more.

Have you had the pleasure of reading a book by Aurora Rose Reynolds? I have to admit that this is the FIRST book by the author, and I am hooked!! Gaston and Chrissie are quite the matchup! This duo exudes charm, witty banter, and an adorable connection of the heart. Baiting Him was a charming read that left me wanting to dive into more from this author!!

Club owner Gaston is in shock after meeting a woman who seems to want nothing to do with him. Annoyed that his charm & good looks didn’t effect her like other women, Gaston goes out of his way for a date with her.

Even though bakery owner Chrissie felt the instant attraction to smooth-talking Gaston, the last thing she needs is to be another notch on his belt. When he buys her flowers and won’t leave her alone, she finally agrees to go out with him. With Chrissie dealing with a lot of personal and family issues, Gaston continues to prove she can count on him.

This is a sweet story of two people who fall for each other hard. Gaston and Chrissie are adorable together, and loved seeing more of Leah & Tyler from the first book. Another great read from this author!

Baiting Him by Aurora Rose Reynolds is book 2 in the How to Catch an Alpha series. This is Gaston and Chrissie's story.
This is such a sweet, funny and a great insta-love romance read!!!
Chrissie has started a new bakery in town trying to start anew but things start happening from her past. Gaston/Gus owns bars in the area and he ends up meeting Chrissie in his bar. His eye catches on her and never lets up. Their chemistry is sizzling. I loved the feels, the plot, the humor, and the sweet moments. I enjoyed reading this story alot. I loved the insta-love story tons. There are just a few things that I wish would have been explained/resolved but overall, phenomenal read. I can't wait for book 3 in this series.


My Rating: 4.5 stars *******

Bravo! Round of applause to Aurora for another amazing book!

My heart went pitter patter when Gaston walked into the bakery just like the girls that work there. Lol!

Chrissie is shellshocked at Gaston approaching her and doesn’t quite know what to do. That’s ok. Gaston knows exactly what he wants and that is Chrissie.

I love the cast of characters we meet and felt so bad for Chrissie’s mom.

You will devour this book and be left wanting more!

5 Stars!

Aurora Rose Reynolds is back with the second standalone book in the unforgettable How To Catch An Alpha series and what a beautiful, fun, sexy, swoony romance this was. If Catching Him, book one stole your heart then juuuust wait until you meet Chrissie and Gaston in Baiting Him... be still my fast beating heart.

Sizzling, undeniable chemistry. Steam that'll have you squirming in your seat and blushing with heat. Touches of suspense that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. Unputdownable, unforgettable moments that'll have your heart soaring with love. Characters that'll steal your breath and leave you wanting soooo much more.

ARR is my absolute number one favorite author of all time y'all! Anything she writes I'll read and I'd follow her words, her boom to the very ends of the Earth. #noragrets

I highly recommend this book.

4 Stars!
Chrissie owns a successful bakery called the Sweet Spot that keeps her very busy. She hardly has time to date, and hasn’t made it a priority since her business takes up all her time and attention. Then she meets the insanely gorgeous and persistent club owner Gaston and everything changes. She goes from not being interested in a relationship, to giving him a chance as he relentlessly pursues her.

Gaston is used to usually getting what he wants, but then he crosses paths with Chrissie who at first doesn’t seem that interested in what he has to offer. He’s intrigued, and wants the chance to get to know her better. From the moment they met, there’s just something different about her, and he won’t give up. He loves her laugh, and how she smells like cupcakes. She’s absolutely stunning, and he wants her to be his. He is up for the challenge, and prepared to convince her he’s worth her time.

Baiting Him (How to Catch an Alpha #2) by Aurora Rose Reynolds is a fun, flirty, sexy romance full of humor and chemistry. I really enjoyed this story, and love Aurora’s writing! I hope we get more books in this series!
