Presley’s Christmas Catch by Ranee S. Clark, Book Review

By Books Are Sanity!!! -

 


Book Summary:

All I want for Christmas is for Brock Hunter to realize I’m his dream girl.

Presley

I knew Brock was my soul mate from the moment we bonded over the obscure fantasy series we both loved as kids. Since then, our late-night talks and constant text threads have gone way beyond the books we love. With Christmas around the corner, we’ve talked about everything from his struggling pro-football career to my grief at losing my aunt and best friend. He’s hilarious, handsome (even in an ugly Christmas sweater), and everything I want in a guy.

Unfortunately, when I confess my feelings and go in for a kiss, he tells me he doesn’t feel the same way.

Brock

Sharing the books I love with Presley has been just what I’ve needed amidst my troubles with my team, but she’s just my best friend. I promise, it’s not romantic. I’m not incapable of focusing on anything else like my mom’s boyfriend is with her. I don’t have to constantly be around her the way my friends are with their wives. And if I check my phone to see if she’s texted before I go to bed, it’s because I want to be a good friend. That’s all.

When she begs me to pretend her attempted kiss didn’t happen so we can go to the release event of the long-awaited final book in our favorite fantasy series, I reluctantly agree. But at the event, things take a shocking turn, and everything changes. Suddenly, I see her in a different light, and I don’t think I can let her go.

Christmas is a time of possibilities. Is it possible I may just learn to trust my heart?

Presley's Christmas Catch is a sweet sports holiday romance and is book 3 in the LA Sports Romance series, but can be read as a standalone novel.


My Review:

I love, love, loved this Christmas romcom! First off, who wouldn’t fall in love with Brock Hunter?!? He is gorgeous, down to earth, and he loves a book series! Enter swooning! Presley and Brock were so perfect for each other! I loved the sports romance, I am all in for these football players and their stories! Clark does an amazing job with the storytelling. She manages to tell a deep and emotional story while keep it light and fun as well. I really connected with this story as it addresses losing a loved one and the struggles that come along with it. Conversely, the lighthearted banter and love for the fantasy book series helped to balance out the emotional roller coaster of loss. This is one of the most well rounded stories and I enjoyed both Brock and Presley’s perspectives, the mystery of the stolen ring was one more aspect to the story that I enjoyed. This is a five star read for me and I want more! 

Happy Reading!!!
