About this listen
A grumpy lobster fisherman tosses a fashion influencer’s impeccably curated life overboard in the next romantic comedy from international bestselling author Amy Lea.
In a last-ditch effort to rescue her brand from the brink of irrelevance, Boston fashion influencer Melanie Karlsen finds herself in a rural fishing village on the east coast of Canada. The only thing scarier than nature itself? The burly and bearded bed-and-breakfast owner and fisherman, Evan Whaler—who single-handedly disproves the theory that Canadians are “nice.”
After a boating accident lands Evan unconscious in the hospital, Mel is mistaken for his fiancée by his welcoming yet quirky family, who are embroiled in a long-standing feud over the B&B. In a bold attempt to mend family fences, Mel agrees to fake their engagement for one week in exchange for Evan’s help with her social media content.
Amid long hikes and campfire chats, reeling in their budding feelings for each other proves more difficult by the day. But is Mel willing to sacrifice her picture-perfect life in the city for a chance at a true, unfiltered love in the wild?

When Sophie Steinbeck finds out just before her wedding that her fiancé has cheated yet again, she desperately wants to call it off. But because her future father-in-law is her dad’s cutthroat boss, she doesn’t want to be the one to do it. Her savior comes in the form of a professional objector, whose purpose is to show up at weddings and proclaim the words no couple (usually) wants to hear at their wedding: “I object!”

Amazon's Best Romances of February
Buzzfeed's Best Romances of 2024 (so far)
“Amy Lea knows how to write heart-clutching romance. The Catch is a real catch and I can’t wait for readers to devour it.”—B.K. Borison, author of Lovelight Farms
"Amy Lea's brand of romcom feels like 2000's nostalgia with modern, intelligent heroines, and unputdownable writing. Evan and Mel's slow burn romance comes with everything: smart humor, chest-aching emotion, stakes that had me invested from the first page, and happy tears for their well-earned happily ever after. I loved every page."—Tarah DeWitt, author of Funny Feelings
"If The Proposal and While You Were Sleeping had a baby, it would absolutely be The Catch! Such a wonderful mix of enemies to lovers and small town tropes. Amy once again knocks it out of the park with her sharp banter and steamy tension!"—New York Times bestselling author Sarah Adams

Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

So when she discovers that she’s listed in a directory of rich, single women she is furious, and rightly so. She confronts Maxwell Dean, the man who published the Bachelor’s Directory, and is horrified to find he is far more attractive than his actions have led her to expect.

Great narration, fun story
It Happened One Summer meets While You Were Sleeping. Not quite as good as Exes and Ohs. The beginning felt a little long, and the ending wasn’t very original, but the middle (especially the extended family) was fun. Excellent narration!
