Catch Me When I Fall is book one in the Catch Me Duet. It follows Carrie Hale, a woman with a troubling past who is running toward her new life and Joseph Grayson, the grumpy bounty hunter tasked to bring Carrie back to her old life but ends up falling in love instead.

This book was so flipping great and such a rollercoaster of emotions! I literally read it in one day because I could not put it down! This book covers love, loss, and healing in such a positive way. This was the first book I've read by Brittany, and it will not be my last! I plan to read through all of her backlog now since they are all interconnected because I need to know everyone’s history!

This book was so well written, and I loved the fast pace of it all! I also really loved that the FMC is a curvy/plus size woman because we need more rep!!!

The very first note I wrote when meeting Grayson for the first time was “Grayson is grumpy as shit.” which he 100% was and I loved it! He was dark but very protective and a tiny bit of a cinnamon roll around Carrie. I loved Carrie so much, and my heart literally shattered for her while reading this book! She went through so much in her life and still turned out to be this beautiful, kind ray of sunshine! Their chemistry from the start was explosive, and I am so happy Grayson got his head out of his ass!

Also, the cliffhanger at the end should be illegal!

This book can be read as a standalone. Brittany’s books are all interconnected, so it’s recommended to read her other books, but as someone new to the Brittany-verse, you don’t have to read the other books to fully enjoy this one! You will not regret checking this book out!

The narrators were so perfect bringing Carrie and Grayson to life. They really sucked me in and told the story so wonderfully.

This was my first book by Brittany Ann and now it won’t be cause that cliffhanger! I enjoyed the audio. I really enjoyed the male narrators voice. The story flowed nicely. I really enjoyed listening to Brittany and Graysons story.

This book has a certain audience that likes brooding men and helpless women that are connected by a need to rescue. I'm not that audience. I was interested in a romance with substance but this book felt like it might appeal to a younger audience. I cannot really say that the writing is bad but it doesn't feel nuanced or intelligent. Most of the plot feels "forced" and far-fetched. With that said, I am sure there are people that this book and the surrounding "world" this is set in will enjoy. I'm just not their typical reader.

I’m so confused 🫤 you know when you’ve just come off of a rollercoaster and you’re really not sure if you loved it or hated it? Bit like that.

There was so so very much cringe in this title, it’s definitely not my genre of choice, and I have more questions than answers. Like what’s a lavender latte and where can I try one? but I very rarely finish a novel and immediately want to read the next in the series. Wtf was that cliffhanger?! I need to know where it goes next…..

There are a lot of triggers in the novel but there are also loads of sweet moments loads of positive affirmations.

A very befuddled 3.75🌟

Great narration.

Huge thanks to Tantor Audio and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this ALC 🎧

The book was ok I enjoyed it. I like the story line. I didn't like the dialog between the characters in some parts. I didn't have to skip through the book though. I loved Carrie, Margo, Sarah and Rossi. The narrators did a good job.
