Caught Up In You (Caught Up, #1) written by Colee Firman (299 pgs) – finished reading 4/22/16 – 4.5 stars - Contemporary Romance

4.5 star rating

I so wanted to give this book 5 stars, but the heroine does something that I just had a hard time accepting. I understood where she was coming from, but I knew in the end it would be hurtful and come back to bite her in the ass.

This story is so filled with angst. Heartbreaking life shattering angst. It takes a young woman from a stable well-rounded home to devastating loss and unbelievable heartbreak. While the hero, Myles, suffered through a painful trauma himself, it’s more from his own youthful indiscretions that brings it on. As for Brantley’s, the heroine, hers is more out of her control as she struggled with the effect that it had on her young life.

I loved this pair’s banter! When they first meet, I couldn’t help but laugh. There was some pretty funny stuff said here. Brantley’s mouth has no filter. So the language is quite a bit dirty. But, it fit the story. And, she can definitely handle herself. While Myles’ exchange is more of a gruff and sexy manner. And, oh what a tattooed and attractive man he was. This is a book where I was hoping that the two main characters would get their s**it together because the chemistry between the two was totally there. It was just all the other hoopla that had them pulling back and running.

The writer pens an exceptionally emotional story filled with chances being taken and trust holding the key to their hearts. It was high-time to bury all the heartache between the two and give into their feelings for each other. In the end, their true compassion proves to be the key that they so desperately need to take that step to trusting each other explicitly.


So interested in reading the next book in the series! Always looking for new authors to rock my reading world, and Ms. Firman did it totally with this one...
