BOOK REVIEW

"You think you're the only one who'd do crazy things to keep the person they love?"

Let's talk about it! The new release from C.R. Jane, shall we? The Wrong Catch that hit our kindles recently. Readers, babes, it was EVERYTHING! We have been patiently waiting for this book to drop since forever. When I finally got my grabby hands on the book, I did not put it down. I stayed up all night just to finish it! It was just that good!

"What I feel is a religion. You're my god, Matty. My altar. My everything. And no one, no one on this earth, will ever worship you the way I do."

Ophelia is that girl! A stalker who has an unusual fixation on Matty when she first saw him on TV playing in a football game. This was the start of something real for Ophelia and normalcy. She learned everything there was to know about him and transferred to his school to be near him and all. I was so happy that Ophelia was taking a stance on her own happiness, given her background with her parents and how she grew up. You have to read the full book to know what I am talking about — I am not going to give you the full story here, guys! 😊

"If I'm your god, Ophelia, then you're my goddess. There isn't anything I wouldn't have done to get you."

Matty Adler is the University of Tennessee's star tight end and a campus legend. He is that guy! Guys want to be him, and girls want to be with him. But underneath that calm and intense demeanor, he feels something is missing. The pressure of being a football player is getting to him, and he needs an outlet, but doesn't know what that is until he sees Ophelia for the first time.

"You asked if I've ever been in love? Yeah. With you. From the second I saw you."

Ophelia and Matty were EXPLOSIVE! That first meet-up was like WOW! I wished I had a book boyfriend who looked at me the way Matty looked at Ophelia. These two characters will have you locked in the book until you are completely finished. Even then, you will still be thinking about the book throughout your day. So many emotions, and the obsession from both characters is a chef's kiss!

If you are looking for a dark college romance that has stalker vibes in it, this is the book for you.

The Blurb

I was his stalker. He was my religion. And somewhere between the lies and the worship, we fell in love.

Everyone warned me that love could ruin you. They just never said it would feel this good while it burned.

Matty Adler is the University of Tennessee's golden boy — star tight end, campus legend, the kind of man girls write their names next to in notebooks. I should know. Mine's filled with his.

I used to watch him from my car. Follow his schedule. Trace his smile like it was a prayer. He was the reason I chose this school. The reason I started breathing again.

And then one day, he looked up and saw me. Now he's caught me. Now he says he loves me, too.

He was never supposed to know my secret. But love like ours doesn't play fair. It devours. It traps. It destroys. And maybe that's what we both wanted all along. Because maybe…I was never the wrong choice. Maybe I was his only one.

Note: Matty Adler is a morally grey antihero who is obsessed with his girl and will do anything to keep her. This is a darker football romance. The Wrong Catch is a football romance standalone from USA Today and International Bestselling Author C.R. Jane.

Catch the girl. Lose your mind.
