 Catch and Keep by Erin Hahn is a really adorable contemporary romance centering around Maren, a former youtube star who has a passion in fishing, and Joe, a single father and Maren’s brothers best friend. Maren moves back to her hometown after receiving a building in a family friend’s will. She works to rebuild and model the building for sale while also reacquainting herself with Joe and his family.

The plot of this story is absolutely adorable and I found myself hooked. Once I got about 20% into the story, I read it all in one day. The story is unique, but also follows the template of a normal contemporary romance, which I enjoyed. The characters were relatable and easy to follow, and Maren was a strong and realistic female character, which is something I am always looking for. I really enjoyed reading this book.

Overall, I would give this book a 3.75/5 stars. It was a really fun read and lacked a third-act breakup, which is kind of a pet peeve of mine. It was unique and cute. I would recommend it to any romance readers out there and am planning to now read the rest of the series, which I had not read before starting this one. I am a new Erin Hahn fan!
