Emotional. Wild. Intoxicating

Jennifer Probst has created a story that is a little bit darker than some of the books I have read previous. Tara uses sex as a way to escape a hurtful past. It allows her for a moment to feel wanted and experience human tough but it also gives her the chance to set boundaries in other areas of her life. Rick is seeking companionship as well as a chance to move on from a heartbreaking betrayal. What started out purely physical became a bond that ended up stronger than either one expected. Catch Me is a book that uses inner struggle, steamy situations and precise wondering to tell a story of facing fears and making difficult choices on the pathway to becoming a better and stronger person. 

Hot and emotional!

“It was my first story of Jennifer Probst and I really enjoyed it. Also it was my first audiobook narrated by Matthew Williamson and he did an amazing job. One narrator that portrayed the emotions of both Tara and Rick. It’s a short novella, BDSM genere and also first book of the Steel Brothers series. Both Tara and Rick’s attraction was powerful and their chemistry was off the charts. I couldn’t have ask for a different happily ever after.”

Rick & Tara!

Looking for a quick, steamy listen? Jennifer Probst has it for you! Catch Me, the first in her Steele Brothers series delivers it all. Rick is hesitant to become involved again after he caught his fiance cheating on him. When given the recommendation to go to exclusive club Fanta-C, he decides to take the chance. Tara was in an abusive relationship and decides to have one night at the club to help her find her confidence again. Little did these two know the impact of that one night. This quickie had me at the first sentence. It's quick, but the story is impactful. It deals with some serious issues, not taken lightly and at the same time delivers a story that is sensual and entertaining. It will leave you wanting to meet the rest of the Steele Brothers!

Matthew Williamson gives a wonderful performance. He has the perfect voice the alpha protective dom, Rick. He is caring yet forceful and the love pours through his voice. He easily transitions to Tara and gives us a wonderful listen.

Steamy

I was sent this book from the publisher/publicity team. My ratings and reviews will be my own personal opinions and are in no way influenced by publishers or authors who may have sent me books to review. I do not usually grab for something so steamy, but this one sounded really interesting to me. I also knew that I could fly though it since it was more of a short story and only around 100 pages (one hour on audio if you listen at 2x the speed). I am glad I gave this one a chance. I liked the premise of a one night experiment and that both characters were taking part due to their own issues. Honestly, I really wanted to know more about what happened to Tara and this kept me listening. I would read a full length book around each of their stories (I am not sure if there are additional books following them, but will be looking to see). I would have loved more around each character, but also understand this is a short story. I enjoyed the story. This is definitely very steamy erotica, so be mindful of that going in as well.

Hot Novella!

This was my first Jennifer Probst's book. This is a short BDSM novella, and the first book in The Steel Brothers Series. Tara and Rick's story is interesting. They share an instant attraction, and a strong chemistry. The story has a great HEA. Matthew Williamson did a good job with the narration.

Good, quick listen

I really enjoyed this story by Jennifer Probst. It was a quick listen, but you still could tell that there was a genuine connection between Rick and Tara from their first meeting. It is an insta-love story, but Tara is not ready for that, and they don't cross paths again until months later. The entire book plays out just over a series of meetings. Their first night, their rekindling, their future HEA. It is not a long, detailed story, but you still get plenty of emotions and depth from the characters.

Matthew Williamson narrates nicely. Good tone, good inflection, and a rich-sounding voice.

Great book/narrator pairing

I tend to go into short stories and novellas with a grain of salt because in a lot of cases, something has to take the short straw so it feels like one thing suffers to make room for something else, and all too often that something is character development. That is so not a problem with Catch Me. Jennifer Probst has managed to pack a powerful punch with this quick listen. Without a doubt, it's sexy, like really sexy, but it's also so much more than that. What I really expected to be all about just one night between Tara and Rick turned out to be a whole romance. We do get some time jumps, but they make perfect sense once we meet these characters, and it's not at all hard to get to know them. In less room than some books take to even get started, Jennifer Probst manages to introduce us to two very complex characters that I not only liked, I genuinely wanted to see these two get together. I was invested down to the very last word. And that's not even all of it. Rick Steele is a sexy as sin alpha male whether you meet him in print or through audio, but pair everything we know about him with the voice of Matthew Williamson, and I thought my device was gonna overheat. This book was everything a good, lose yourself for a while romance should be. It's emotional, sexy, sweet, and ladies, if you've forgotten what it's like to be courted, this is it. It may not be the old fashioned style, but Rick Steele definitely knows his stuff when it comes to wooing a woman. Combine all of that with Matthew Williamson's seductive voice, and this one is toe-curling.

Caught Me!

From the 1st page, the interaction between these two is super hot and so sweet!

Quick and Hot

Catch Me by Jennifer Probst is book one of the Steele Brothers series. This book was a quick listen.

Matthew Williamson is a great narrator. He really delineates the male and female voices.

Even though this is a short novella it is packed full of content. The stories of Rick and Tara are well developed. I liked how their story turned.

I can't wait to read/listen to the rest of this series.

Interesting story

Fanta C is an exclusive club that pairs people up with the same wants for an evening only. Tara has been abused by an ex and wants to get over her issues with her scars and sex. Rick was hurt by his fiancee cheating with a groomsman. He wants to get over being hurt. Both almost decide to not go through with it but they do. Rick is so great and is able to help Tara see that he is looking past her body and into the real "Tara". He knows he wants more than just this one night and has to convince Tara that she does, too. Rick stands beside Tara and helps her achieve her goals. This story is short but takes place over a period of time so you can believe that they have developed real feelings for each other. This story is a bit different from what I've read from Jennifer Probst before but it's really good. Matthew Williamson is a new narrator for me. I love his voice and hopefully he'll be doing a lot more audio books!
