Catching Kelly

By Sue Civil-Brown and Sue Civil Brown

Book Overview

Eight years ago, ultra-sensible Kelly Burke left her zany family in a desperate attempt to lead a normal life. When she gets the news that a ruggedly handsome man has moved in on her grandmother -- and the family finances -- she rushes home to send him packing, without the Burke fortune But once back in the center of her beloved but outlandish clan--pet tigers and all--Kelly discovers that Seth Ralston is far more of a threat to her heart than to her family. For his smile makes her traitorous pulse race, no man should have a body that sinfully gorgeous, and his kisses...oh, those kisses create total meltdown. Suddenly Kelly discovers an unexpected aptitude for being "wild and exciting" herself-- and loving it. The question is, is this just a fun fling? Or is Seth a man who'll stay...for life?

Customer Reviews

I'm glad I don't put too much faith in others reviews

I almost didn't read this after seeing some of the reviews. I am glad that I changed my mind. This novel was great. I can see where people complained that the romance wasn't really steamy. There maybe was only 6 pages of romance (sex) in the book. So if you are a die hard wanting to read sex scenes every few minutes, this book is not for you. However, if you want to read a great book with a group of fun loving eccentric characters, this book is for you. I thought it was a great book. I don't think Kelly was overly whiney (Maybe a tad but... - it fit the character), but Seth was perfect. I also liked how she added characters from her other books also. It was nice to read about Corrigan again. So if you haven't read this book, don't go by the reviews on this page. Pick a copy up yourself and maybe read a chapter or so at a bookstore. If it grabs your attention read on - I am sure you will enjoy it.

Laugh Out Loud!

I thought this book was great! Not a lot of heavy romance, but lots of zany characters and laughs. It's not often that I laugh out loud while reading .... Kelly's a "normal" person attempting to deal with her outrageous relatives - pure entertainment. I liked it.

Could not stop laughing...

I am only 1/2 way through and I am laughing outloud at every page. The Burke family is hysterical. And I love how the past books characters are reappearing...I hope the second half of book is as good as the first.
