Can’t Wait Wednesday – THE CATCH by Amy Lea
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in since I first started blogging, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is THE CATCH by Amy Lea. I loved the first two books in this series so I can’t wait to get my hands on this new one. I love that the setting is a small fishing village in Canada, and it sounds like the book features many of my favorite tropes like grumpy-sunshine and fake engagement.
THE CATCH by Amy Lea
Publication Date: February 13, 2024
by Berkley Romance
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?

Doesn’t it? That description made me laugh, lol.
The blurb kind of reminds me of It Happened One Summer, which I loved!

A small town setting and a grumpy fisherman already sounds like a win. And then being mistaken for the fiancee… bring on the grumpy goodness. 🙂
