Publisher's summary

Everyone always says the best way to get over someone is to get under somebody else.

Well, I guess I've never been one to believe it. Cheated on by my football-star boyfriend and betrayed by my closest friend, I'm not looking for yet another chance to get hurt.

Kye Collins isn't just a guy. He's the guy. A star on a D1 football team. The owner of a panty-melting smile and abs that'll have you fanning yourself and tingling in places you shouldn't. Oh… and he's my brother's best friend.

When he convinces me to hang out with him, I warily take him up on his offer. After all, as long as I keep my guard up, I won't get hurt. Besides, a friendship between a male and a female can work, right?

What starts off as an innocent alliance becomes dicey when he suggests we fake date. It seems like a good plan. A solid scheme to help him get his mom off his back while also making my ex mad. If I can hurt the guy who caused me pain and make the mean girls at school jealous, that's a double win. Plus, hanging out with Kye Collins is fun.

One kiss—that's all it takes. A kiss only meant for the eyes of those who hurt me. A kiss that's supposed to be a big F you to those devils lurking in the shadows, watching my every move. But that same kiss makes me come alive in a way I never have. Makes it impossible for me to ignore the feelings I have whenever he is around. And it forever changes the relationship between Kye and me.

Sometimes, tragedies bring people closer together. In our case, it pulls us apart. But when Kye runs, I'm not far behind, ready to catch him.

Catching Kye is the third and final book in the Florida East University series. This is Kye's story.

A touching friends to lovers romance with an incredible narration!!

Another amazing book in this series!!! This one is a bit of a slower burn as it is a friends to lovers romance but between the flirting, emotional growth between them, the palpable attraction and chemistry…it just all built up so perfectly!!!

Friends to Lovers
Brother’s Best Friend
Fake Dating
Surfing
Broken Boy

Hannah always knows how to grab at your heart with the emotion and real life topics she puts into her stories!!! This one was no different and each main character had a little bit of brokenness to them. First Kye had so much depth to him that I was not expecting! He had a rough childhood which affects his view on relationships. Then there is Winter who we met before as she is the sister of Bama from book. In that book you learn she lost her father in drag race but not only that, her ex-boyfriend was quite a jerk to her and left her with threats and emotional damage from that relationship. This is a story about two people who didn’t know each other much but after a chance meeting became friends and realize they can be there for each other while their connection just grows from there!!! Also, Hannah once again shocked me with another twist in this book as well!!

🎧AUDIO REVIEW:
Thomas Oakley and Elizabeth Hart truly do an incredible job narrating this series!! Their voices mesh together so well and they bring all the emotion and passion of the story to life with their voices!! Not to mention, Elizabeth has a male voice that sounds like another person which just made the female POV even more enjoyable! I truly could listen to the both of them all day long!!

Everything Hannah Gray is magic

i loved this combination of fake dating but also keeping it secret. Brother's best friend always creates some difficulty in being together but it played an even bigger part in this story.

Good audio

Catching Kye was an emotional read. This book follows Winter and Kye. Winter is Kye’s best friend’s little sister. We meet Winter in Stealing Bama which is the second book in this series. Winter is recovering from a bad breakup and a broken heart. Kye wants to be there to cheer her up as a friend. As their friendship develops and deepens, they want to be more than best friends. Kye is conflicted because it’s his best friend’s sister but he can’t stay away from Winter. Kye is dealing with his own issues. Kye’s father is an addict and he has pushed him away for so long but Winter, having lost her own father helps him forgive and try to build a relationship with him. Please check trigger warnings because addiction is talked about in this book. Overall I enjoyed this series and would recommend it. I listened to this on audio and enjoyed both the narrators.
