Publisher's summary

From New York Times bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds comes the second book in the steamy, witty, and hilarious How to Catch an Alpha series.

Chrissie doesn’t have time for guys, hot or otherwise; most days, she barely has time to sleep. With a thriving bakery that demands her attention and plenty of proof that relationships aren’t worth the trouble, she’s content to go it alone. Too bad she’s unwittingly baited Mr. Tall, Dark, and Way Too Gorgeous - and he’s just waiting for a chance to bite.

Gaston is used to getting what he wants, but he also knows nothing good ever comes easy. From the moment he meets Chrissie, he realizes that this woman who makes him laugh, smells like cupcakes, and looks like a tasty snack is going to be his greatest challenge. And if he’s lucky, she’ll be his biggest reward.

But someone else wants to catch Gaston at all costs - even if it means endangering the lives of the people he loves. Somehow Gaston must thwart danger and convince Chrissie that he’s the perfect catch.

The H runs 3 bars/clubs and is instantly attracted to the h when she comes in with friends. Now he has to get her to go out with him. The h's mom, whose marriage ended badly, gets the h to promise not to trust men easily.

Villian? No way!

Chrissie and Gaston (yes, I said Gaston) make an awesome couple. They're sweet and funny. And the sex is definitely hot. I recommend the book

Quick Low Angst Listen

The narrators did a great job. I really enjoyed the H/h and their storyline. The secondary characters were entertaining. This audiobook was a low angst quick listen with a strong alpha hero and heroine.
