Caleb James was a brilliant partner in a law firm who was as ethical as they come. However, things change when he and one of the other partners, Jackson Blake interview the lovely Italian beauty, Sophia Rinaldi.
Sophia Rinaldi was down on her luck when it came to making her career prosper. She followed her dreams to America despite the lack of support from her parents. She wanted to prove that she was an independent woman and didn't need marriage to be a priority.
The moment she stepped into the conference room, she realized that marriage to a man like Caleb wasn't sounding too bad.
Now Caleb would do anything to cross the line. Warning: Insta-Love
The story happened the same time as book 1. Sophia was a new lawyer in Caleb and Jackson's (H from book1) law firm. She was let go from her previous job because of a rumor that she was having an affair with one of the partners there.
At first, she though Kristen, Caleb's sister-in-law and pregnant was his wife. And she's been treated by other men in the firm differently because she's a woman and because of the rumor.
Everything happened so fast. They had a date, they made love and became a couple and he proposed to her.
Then an accident happened in Maine (from the previous books) and Caleb was asked by Jackson to go there so he went there with Sophia.
When the firm in Maine was in order again, they went to Italy to meet his parents but her parents wanted her to be with an Italian to be close to them. He wasn't welcomed so when he came back to her parents' house the next day, she's out already with her father to have a picnic. But her father left her there and Matteo (an Italian they wanted for her) came
Thankfully, Caleb came and saved her. They went back to Seattle and started planning their wedding.
On the day of their wedding, her parents came and asked for forgiveness. It's not their intention to hurt her. They just wanted her to be close and thought that marrying an Italian was the right thing to do.
There's an epilogue and another funny one like the third book.
This book is smut for sure but it has a good story. Yes there are grammar mistakes and yes the language was raw but under all that, their relationship was a strong one. The hero Caleb does fall hard for Sophia the heroine. However, when he tries to overtake and control her she stayed strong and did not accept that. She made a choice to be with him and she stayed firm in her resolve. The story was filled with secondary characters that we have seen in the previous other books, however this hero was way more easy going and respectful of her thoughts and feelings then the others in this series so far. I loved both of them and I loved how he asked and did not push their relationship boundaries. I did not totally agree with their choices but hey they are happy that's what important. I enjoyed it and will be keeping this one. Thank you CM Steele for giving me another steamy book to read!
Love triangle? Cheating? HEA? Any Descriptive Sex w/OW/OM/Ex? Would I read more by this author/or in this series? Maybe, but not for now. Rating: +3 stars Review also on Amazon.
Review
The first half of the story was quite intriguing and there was great chemistry between H/h but then it just went downhill for me in the second part, after H/h went to Italy. I loved the epilogue, tho.
I liked the story but cannot say that I loved it. I'm sure many will enjoy it, tho. :)
Everything in this book moved fast. It was definitely insta-lust, insta-love, insta-marriage. I don't usually mind that but in this case, I just didn't buy it. I have read a book or two by this author and I think I just don't connect with this author's writing style. Even so, I will give a few more a try.
Another great safe read from CM Steele! I am a huge fan of her work! Hot cute couple and the epilogue was so cute and funny! I mean 6 kids? Wow she is the queen of cute epilogues!
This is the fourth book in the Caught series. Caleb James is partner in the law firm he started with his best friend, Jackson Blake. Their main office is in Maine but they are both in Seattle setting up a new office. They are in the process of interviewing new attorneys when Sophia Rinaldi walks in & right away Caleb knows he's screwed. He wants her ... bad but he doesn't ever cross that line. Sophia quit her last job because someone started a rumor that she was sleeping with one of the partners (it wasn't true). She is very attracted to Caleb but she will not allow anything to come between her new job. Will they be able to resist one another & for how long ?
Cute sweet sexy read.... It was a short read but very enjoyable. I have not read the rest in the series and found I had no problem keeping up. Epilogue was awesome!
Sophie's father should be ashamed. Because of him she's almost got raped by the so called good boy he wanted her to marry instead of Caleb. Caleb should have broke the creeps jaws and his fingers for touching Sophie.
I received an arc for an honest review!! I have waited so much for this book and i've harrassed the author enough times!! Caleb is a hot lawyer which we already meet in the otherbooks in the series!!! He falls for sophia at first sight and immediatly goes in alpha/jealous mode. The book is my favourite in the series!! Sophia is sweet but also not a pushover!! She deals with nasty rumours and jealous collegues. Her friendship with matt was sweet - needles to say caleb didn't agree with me- they were both new in the city. I like kristen's character, she was a badass. I hated sophia's parents, especially her father after the stunt he put. Luckily hero caleb came and saved the situation. It was a sweet read and i reccomand this book to all!!
I love over the top alpha males. The ones that are hard to find in the real world and are sometimes hard to find in books but this author never lets me down. She brings the alpha and the heat . And you still walk away with a great read.
C.M. steele sure knows how to write them. This was another sexy read with an amazing alpha (I definitely fell in love with Jackson), as always dual pov which just makes it that much better, and has a perfect hea. A must read for all c.m. Steele fans and any alpha lovers.
Great continuation to the Caught series. I love the insta-love and over the top male. The heroine is smart and beautiful. Great sex! Love the epilogue!!
Keep writing, I love your stories. I can't wait for the next one!
Great author she is wonderful. She answer questions. This is one of my favourite stories. I can't wait for her next book. You are awesome from ASHLEY :)
All I can say is Caleb is hot as hell a total jealous alpha male but I loved it. I loved this romantic story line. It was a great addition to the series!
