Shelby Worthington has just survived her baby sister Chelsea's wedding. She answered the dreaded question "so when are you going to get married?" a million times during the trip and she is now glad the wedding is behind her. While driving up the coast from Florida to South Carolina, she stops for breakfast and a painting in a window catches her eye.
She decides to go into the gallery and inquire about the painting. When the owner asks if she would like to meet the artist, Shelby is shocked to see Declan Enright standing in front of her. He was Shelby's high school and college crush, her knight in shining armor even though he had the reputation of a player and local bad boy. After spending a night together he left for New York City never looked back.
CAUGHT UP IN YOU is the story of Shelby and Declan fifteen years later. Shelby can't believe that after so many years Declan still has the same effect on her. Maybe he doesn't remember their last night together. Declan Enright also known as the "run away groom" has never been able to commit to anyone and has been in love with love. He has left three women stranded at the altar and since then has adopted a three date rule on himself. When Shelby walks back into his life, his views slowly change and while he fights and denies it...you can't help who you fall in love with. Declan came back to Magnolia Bay to take care of his Dad. He has some medical issues and Declan, even though he remembers what a hard childhood he had growing up, still cares for his father. Shelby knows he isn't husband material and she also knows she should stay away from him. But she can't help herself and Declan pursues her hard!
CAUGHT UP IN YOU is the perfect afternoon read. There were some laugh out loud moments between Shelby and Declan that had me grinning from ear to ear. There were warm, heart tugging moments that had me holding my breath. Though there weren't a lot of hot sizzling moments, the romance felt real between Declan and Shelby and I found myself cheering for them and hoping they could let go of the past. If you're looking for a cozy, perfect romance, you'll will enjoy CAUGHT UP IN YOU.

She’s still insanely attracted to Declan Enright, her high school and college crush. He’s now a wildly successful painter who’s temporarily back in Magnolia Bay, but Declan should be Shelby’s last choice for possible husband material.

But Declan has come back to the Bay to change that and care for his dying father, even if he’s still never forgiven Declan for leaving the family business. Shelby is determined to steer clear, but while her lips keep saying no, her heart is pounding out yes each time she and Declan are together. While she can’t deny her attraction, Shelby’s convinced that Declan’s track record means he will break her heart. Or has Declan changed for good, and made love worth the risk?
