Catch Me Twice by Charmaine Pauls


ABOUT THE BOOK

A STANDALONE, SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE

“An amazingly written, heart-wrenching story of a man lost and the woman who helps him find himself—a second-chance romance unlike any other.” – Anna Zaires, New York Times bestselling author

If a man tells you he’s no good for you, best heed the warning. I learned the hard way. I had Jake Basson’s baby. He left to chase his dream. Now he’s back, demanding a second chance, but why should I give him anything after four years of nothing? No correspondence, no news. I finally have my life back on track. Jake has never been uncomplicated. He never follows the rules. I should’ve known he’d play dirty. He caught me once. I’m not going to let him catch me twice.

(Disclosure: This story contains cheating. HEA guaranteed.)

REVIEW

Kristi and Jake marry young. Kristi spends the next four years apart from Jake, struggling to raise their child among prejudice, while he pursues his dreams of professional success.

I have decided that Charmaine Pauls is a guilty pleasure that I absolutely adore. Her novels typically have dark content that is often taboo and highly sensual. The characters suffer a challenging time before obtaining their hea, but in the end, they are considerably stronger for it. I feel connected to the characters through their distress, and that inevitable ending we all look for in a romance becomes more fulfilling. Despite acts that are less than optimal, the endurance and sincerity endear me to them. In Catch Me Twice Jake screws up badly, but I never felt he did not deserve a second chance. When Kristi wavers, I don't blame her, nor do I judge her for her ultimate decision.

Charmaine Pauls has done it again. Reading this early copy of Catch Me Twice honestly was as enjoyable as her prior works, which I have loved every one. I enthusiastically recommend Catch Me Twice for lovers of romance. Catch Me Twice fits is a good fit for those who prefer a little struggle before happily ever after.
