Catching Red
The chase is over, but the real game is just starting.
"I spent months hiding what she is to me. Now I get to walk into that building, and everyone will know - Alexandra Morgan is mine. And if anyone has a problem with that, they can take it up with me."
— Josephine 'Jo' Blake, Senior Account Manager & Unapologetic Menace
"She calls it devotion. HR calls it a disclosure form. I call it the most reckless, brilliant, terrifying decision I've ever made - and I'd sign the paperwork twice. Don't tell her I said that. She's insufferable enough already."
— Alexandra 'Alex' Morgan, VP of Operations & No Longer In Denial
Jo Blake got the girl. But having Alexandra Morgan and keeping her are two different games - and the second one has rules Jo never learned to play by. Month by month, from a Christmas party where they can't touch to a summer where they refuse to let go, Catching Red follows Jo and Alex through the messy, but tender work of building a life together.
The sequel to the Amazon bestselling Chasing Red, Catching Red is a sizzling sapphic workplace romance that proves the only thing more dangerous than the pursuit is the surrender. Features colleagues with zero filter, meet-the-family as an extreme sport, and enough heat to trigger the office fire alarm.
Guaranteed HEA. Contains mature themes.

Delightful read!
Such a really nice conclusion to their (Jo & Alex) relationship. An inherent coupling and follow-up storyline from their journey of how they started to now how they have ended up.
Love it and do highly recommend this book and series!

The sappy romantic in me really, really likes the next phase of Alex and Jo’s journey and reading Catching Red puts a smile on my face.
Absolutely loved it 🥰

This is kind of a long epilogue as they tackle mundane things (work, family, etc.), nothing dramatic. I expected some twist where they pulled apart, but no, it's just a cute, sweet epilogue for a couple more pages, and I found it to be nice and actually enjoyed it.
The thing with sudden lines and thoughts no human would ever think still haunts me from two other books, but it's not that bad.

Another wholesome and very cute snack-book. It's a feel-good plot for a lazy morning. :)

I loved this
I always want more when a book does a time jump epilogue. This is the first book I’ve ever read that filled in the gap. I absolutely loved it!! I wish more books would do this. I finally got the more I wanted from the characters. I want to be able to read these for the first time again!

The whole series had exceptional writing. You could have an ongoing series of books about Alex and Jo and your readers would never be bored. People say, " I couldn't put it down." I hated to put it down to go to the bathroom, but needs must. The ending was perfect but I'm serious, there could be a wedding, (yes I'm spoiling it but the writing about those proposals were worth swooning over and I'm too old to swoon lol) they could move to London, the list of more stories are never ending when you have two great characters to build on.

when you’ve met the one..
Great continuation of the Jo - Alex story. Making room for each other in their lives, compromising and communicating key to their successful relationship. Being opened minded to understand your partner’s perspective. For example Alex’s willingness to sacrifice the condo she loved to have Jo feel comfortable. Great love story.
Besides the day to day relationship it was nice to see the compromise both were willing to make. Loved the story.

Exquisite
When I saw. That you had another story about this couple I re-read cheating red so that I wouldn't miss a thing
By. Adding the the second book it allows for us to be immersed into the actual stepping out into daily life and what that entails.
Thank you. Very enjoyable.

This was sweet, touching, hot, and generally amazing.
It's definitely one of the better follow up stories that I've encountered in recent memory, and I will absolutely read anything else that the author writes.
I strongly recommend it, but you definitely need to read Chasing Red first, but, well, I strongly recommend that as well. :)

A wonderful conclusion of the series. These characters are so well written you can't help being pulled into their story. I've really enjoyed both books and look forward to more stories from this author.

Catching Red by Alix Marren was the perfect conclusion of Alex and Jo's story. After Chasing Red I was left wanting more so I was glad to see this pop up on my Kindle. You can really feel the love between the characters and I am here for it.

Big Fan! I loved the dynamic of Jo & Alex- they complimented each other so well and Jo’s personality just really was truly relatable and so down to earth. Can’t wait to see what Marren brings next.

They are in love, Your Honor! I must admit - I thought that with established relationship we'd lose the spark. Oh boy, was I wrong! We still get lovely banter, brilliant inner thoughts, sharp quips and hot intimate scenes.
Dear Alix Marren - you nailed it!
