Maren’s boyfriend just stole her job and then proposed to her in front of her family. In response, she rejects him. Mortified, she flees to the cabin on the lake left to her by an old family friend. The lake is where she’s always been happiest. She hasn’t been back in years.
Ever since she was a girl, she loved fishing. She had a very successful YouTube channel. She misses the easy part – fishing and making videos. She doesn’t miss the creepy comments from men or men stalking her. On her first day at the lake, she bumps into her brother’s best friend who runs his family’s resort.
Joe’s wife left after their youngest was diagnosed with autism. Some days are a struggle. His son, Anders, sometimes gets neglected with all the attention Joe needs to give Lucy. Maren notices and fills the void: making Anders lunch, taking him fishing, and letting him play with her dog. Before long, Maren seems like part of the family.
Everything between Maren and Joe seems easy. But Maren’s brother warned her about getting together with Joe. She doesn’t know her future or if she’s sticking around the lake. Could this relationship be something permanent?
CATCH AND KEEP is the last book in the romance friendship trilogy. While this could be read as a stand-alone, readers get updates on the couples from the first two books. Lucy and Anders steal all the scenes; they’re adorable. I couldn’t help but feel protective of Lucy. I love to see her blossom with her friendship with Maren. There were many sweet moments in this book. I’m sad to see this trilogy end because I loved these stories.
