Lauren Blakely: Caught Up in Us

Lauren Blakely

Series: Caught Up In Us

Book One: Caught Up in Us

Synopsis:
 
A second chance at first love...Five years ago, Kat Harper fell into a dizzying summer romance with her brother's best friend Bryan. It was a mad, crazy love full of kisses all through the night -- but he broke her heart and she had to move on. Five years later, Kat is finishing her graduate degree and building her business as a jewelry designer, when Bryan, head of his own successful company, walks back into her life. Bryan has been assigned to Kat as her new business mentor and the rules are clear. No hanky panky permitted. Kat can handle that because she's totally over him... right? Except, he still makes her laugh, and he remembers all the things she likes. Not to mention that he's even more handsome now than he was then. Then there's the spark between them -- the simply undeniable chemistry, and the tender ways he shows he still cares for her. Can they resist each other the second time around or will first love trump all?

Review:

This book went by pretty quick, but you got a lot of information in the story. It didn't leave anything out really. It told you what you needed to know about the past that shaped the current relationship that they were in and then went on to tell you have their relationship is developing as of now. It is a cute love story of a guy who was willing to sacrifice his happiness with his one true love so that she could experience the full college life. It is told in her point of view, but revolves around the decision he had made five years ago. The characters have great chemistry and you can't help but want things to work out. This is a stand alone novel. Caught Up in Him is a prequel to this book that tells about the romance that happened five years prior, but it is not necessary to read to know what is going on now. The other books are also stand alones that reflect characters that you meet in this book. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a quick and fun read!



Book 0.5: Caught Up in Him

Synopsis:

Seventeen-year-old Kat Harper has always dreamed of silver-screen kisses, the kind of love you see in the movies.
That’s exactly what she gets the summer before college when she meets her brother’s best friend Bryan.
He’s five years older, but that doesn’t stop them from falling into a summer romance so perfect it could have been scripted by Hollywood. They kiss in the back row of the movie theater, on the beach at night, even on the quiet streets of her hometown when no one’s looking.
Surely, he’s falling as hard for her as she is for him, right? But Bryan breaks her heart and leaves with barely an explanation, forcing Kat to move on from her first love... until five years later, when he walks back into her life. Now she has to face the truth that she's never gotten over him. Is it possible he hasn’t stopped thinking about her too?

Book Two: Pretending He's Mine

Synopsis:

Reeve Larkin needs a job. Sure, the actor is talented and gorgeous in that dreamy, broody sort of way that makes all the women swoon. But he lost out on a part in a big movie, and now his day job hours have been slashed too. What's a handsome young thing in need of a role to do? Sign up to be the fake fiancĂ© of the sexy and shrewd casting director Sutton Brenner, who must appear temporarily attached if she's to land a coveted gig casting a red-hot film. So Sutton strikes a pact with Reeve to play the role of her fiance until she closes the deal. The trouble is - she's sexy-as-hell and damn near irresistible to him. And he's not only a great guy, but also the best dirty talker she's ever met. It doesn't take long for their pretend love affair to heat up, especially after that toe-curling night in the balcony of the Broadway theater. And that scorching afternoon in the stacks of the New York Public Library. 
A red-hot love affair. An intense connection. But as the lines between make-believe and matters of the heart blur, can two people working in the world of acting fake it til they make it?
