InkSlinger PR Presents: The Catch by K. Bromberg; #ReviewBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #Review

 Rating:  5 Stars
Told in the first person.  Alternating persons.


Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from InkSlinger PR and from the author. I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”


After an unexpected twist of fate, All-Star catcher Easton Wylder is left questioning the loyalty of everyone around him.

Even the woman who shares his bed, Scout Dalton.

But if Easton thought being uprooted to the last place he expected was the only challenge life had to throw at him, he was dead wrong.

With an ailing shoulder and his career in limbo, his decision to make an unexpected change leads him to question everything – Scout’s love, family loyalties, and whether he can conquer the one obstacle he’s never been able to overcome. The secret he’s never shared with anyone.

He may be a man pushed to his limits, but he’s hell-bent on proving his worth no matter the cost.

My Thoughts:

Scout Dalton may just regret her decision.  She shows how tough it is trying to be a woman in a man’s world.  Easton “East” Wylder is not very happy.  He has a tough decision that could be life altering which adds some realism to this story.  Trust was a big issue at the beginning of this book.  With baseball season heating up, what a great time to read this duet.

The author has written a character that when he’s in a scene my hackles rise up – I’d like two seconds with him.  He has no redeeming qualities and this shows how Ms. Bromberg does a great job in getting my emotions involved here.  She shows the tough decisions we sometimes have to make and the consequences of them.  It’s a great demonstration of a person overcoming a personal challenge.  A person can be embarrassed by it but we just have to trust those that love us and believe that it’s something that can be overcome – not the perfect word but when you read the scene you will know what I mean.

I had a hard time reading some of Scout’s scenes but that’s because they hit me personally – brought tears to my eyes several times.  My nerves were a little raw but I power through because I like where this story was going.  It’s also another indication that our author is very good at what she does.  It’s a book that could also be a wake up call for those parents that put unrealistically high expectations on their children.  It’s unfair to them and in the end is it worth it?


As you get to the end of the book, Scout says a very profound statement.  It’s a time where I have a tear in my eye (again) and a smile on my face.  Then Easton tells her something and dang don’t those tears make a reappearance.  As you read the Epilogue you will understand why this is a duet – you’ll do it with a smile on your face.  And glad that you had a chance to read both books in order.



Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000038_00074]
Baseball has never been sexier in an all-new novel by New York Times Bestselling Author, K. Bromberg.

Easton Wylder is baseball royalty. The game is his life. His passion. His everything.

So, when an injury threatens to end Easton’s season early, the team calls in renowned physical therapist, Doc Dalton, to oversee his recovery. Except it’s not Doc who greets Easton for his first session, but rather, his daughter, Scout. She may be feisty, athletic, defiant, and gorgeous, but Easton is left questioning whether she has what it takes to help him.

Scout Dalton’s out to prove a female can handle the pressure of running the physical therapy regimen of an MLB club. And that proof comes in the form of getting phenom Easton Wylder back on the field. But getting him healthy means being hands-on.

And with a man as irresistible as Easton, being hands-on can only lead to one thing, trouble. Because the more she touches him, the more she wants him, and she can’t want him. Not when it’s her job to maintain the club’s best interest, in regards to whether he’s ready to play.

But when sparks fly and fine lines are crossed, can they withstand the heat, or is one of them bound to get burned?

My Thoughts:

Easton “East” Wilder seems to be a cocky S.O.B.  Scout Dalton gives as good as she gets.  It was fun to watch these two annoy each other after he first lays eyes on her.  If you love watching baseball, this is coming out at the perfect time since the season is just getting started.

Scout’s job hits home for me because my dad was an R.P.T. and I’d like to think he would be impressed if he had met her.  I’d also like to think he would approve of her regimen she has set up for her client.  I can also relate to Easton.  Part of my life mirrored his – had to step away from the book for a little bit because it brought back some very sad memories.  Then our author pulls me from my thoughts by getting me to laugh.  This author knows just what will get her readers interested in her stories.  You can relate to what the characters do or what their lives are like.

I did love the fact that she didn’t lead these two into bed right from the beginning.  And you can tell that they may not be thinking with their heads as they enter into a relationship.  But in a way I have to understand where Scout is coming from.  If it weren’t for my father’s job he might never have met my mother.  My mother hated my father when she first met him.  Easton and Scout may not have hated each other but the similarity was a little eerie.

I will say that at times there were scenes that didn’t seem real. Scout is a woman working in a man’s world and you would think that she would fight a lot harder for that position and weigh her risks by what she’s getting involved with. But then you have to remember that this is a work of fiction and this is the world that the author has created. Don’t expect to get any answers when the ending finally comes. The only thing it does do is get the reader ready for the second book.
