I accidentally hooked up with the guy I despise. A mistake I’d love to forget…except now he’s my new roommate.

Reese Landry is Orleans University’s arrogant, All-Star catcher.
And I’m the one girl he can’t seem to catch.
If anything, it only makes him want me more.

He’s disgustingly rich, stupidly charming, and everyone loves him.
Except me.

But then life throws me the ultimate curveball: He’s my new temporary roomie.
I thought it was going to be easy, keeping him at a distance.
Turns out, I was wrong.

He’s nothing like the cocky, rich playboy that I thought he was.
I told myself one more time wouldn’t hurt.
We promised to keep things casual, no strings attached.
But soon lines blur, and he somehow becomes my only safe space to land.

And now, we’re catching feelings.


Reese Landry is not what he appears to be. Sure, he’s Orleans University’s all-star catcher and the number one MLB draft pick. And there is no question that he’s devastatingly handsome, my-family-owns-a-private-jet rich, and stupidly charming. But underneath that silver-spoon playboy appearance, he’s sweeter than honey, the kindest soul you’ll ever meet, and much to his chagrin, the bane of Vivienne Brentwood’s existence.

Vivienne Brentwood is an introverted extrovert who’s obsessed with all things spooky. When Viv was in 11th grade, her dad passed away, and her mom has been consumed by depression ever since. Viv has had to become like a parent to her mom, taking care of her while trying to be a regular college student. She’s tough as nails, smart as a whip, and wants nothing more than for things to be normal.

When her mom gets fired again, Viv uses all her savings to cover her mom’s rent and keep her from getting evicted—savings that would have paid for Viv’s dorm next semester. Determined to stay at school and terrified to be a burden to her friends, Viv has a big decision to make. Drop out of college and move back home with her depressed mother or become Reese Landry’s roommate. Neither option is fun, but one stops her from being a college dropout by the end of her first year. Reese is the lesser of two evils; maybe living with him won’t be so bad after all.

Catching Feelings has the perfect blend of sweetness, humor, and spice. Viv & Reese have chemistry for days, and their slow burn, roommates-with-benefits-turned-epic-love-story relationship is everything my romance-loving little heart desires. I mean, he calls her Sweet Tart; she calls him All-Star, and they take turns leaving punny notes with breakfast—UGH—I swoon!
