Catching Feelings

by Auketria Manor

Adrienne, Jaimie, Naomi, & Rita share a longtime friendship that has become more like a sisterhood.
Naomi still believes in love and is sure it will come again but not before a new attempt at dating goes in an unexpected direction. Could this have something to do with the interference of her handsome ex-husband and his desire to have her in his life once again?
Adrienne the self-proclaimed daddy’s girl hasn’t experimented very much with love compared to her girls except once which was years of play and pause. Although special surprises are found in the most unsuspecting places, they can come with dangerously unwanted baggage. Will true love cost Adrienne her life—or someone else’s?
Jaimie’s insecurities definitely reach an all-time high causing some decision making that threatens the loyalty of friendship. Feeling inferior to love for so long has clouded her judgment, hurting those close to her in the process. Will Jamie get her shot at true companionship?
No one has experienced more hurt and disappointment in love than Rita, the wisest of the group. From childhood through adulthood she’s had her share of heartbreak and has decided to take a hiatus. But when love in its purist form presents itself Rita is uncompromising. Will true love heal her old wounds?
Follow these four friends as they navigate through tumultuous love lives, while trying their best to keep from catching feelings.

pearls of wisdom

I think every woman should read it no matter the age group. We females young and old tend to look for love in all the wrong places. This book deals with those issues and how we need to stop looking and then and only then will we find a love that's worthy.

It has a little bit of friendship issues and we can address it grow up like and move past it. Very good read.

Loved it!!

This is a great story about four girlfriends in very different relationships. Through struggle, love and revelation these friends storm through life together with their faith in God and love for one another. The author did a great job! I would have loved to have gotten more of a physical description of the men in their lives. Can't wait to read her next book.

Catching Feelings was a story of 4 friends & their ups & downs through their relationships & friendships with each other. Naomi, Rita, Jamie & Adrienne stood by each other thru thick & thin especially when tragedy struck. This was a good stand-alone novel & look forward to reading more book from this author.
