Catch up with Catching Claire!
Catching Claire is Cindy Procter-King's sequel to Deceiving Derek, both part of what will be a delightful series of love affairs and encounters under the title "Love & Other Calamities." What is exceptional about all of Procter-King's writing, whether in short story style (such as this) or in her full-length novels such as Head Over Heels, is her ability to capture her characters' personalities and, more important, their morality and humanity. She always reminds us of the good and vulnerability, even in men who seem unapproachable and veiled, as well as of the insecurity in women, even those who on their face appear strong and self-reliant. She allows her own optimism and humor to drive her writing, leaving the reader with a good feeling and wanting more. For those of us who read romantic comedy and novels, want a respite from "real life" and yearn for those days when love seemed simple, Procter-King is the answer.
Incomplete
Claire has the hots for the guy who was the stripper at her best friend's shower. Ridge is dancing as a means of paying for med school. What happens when Ridge walks in on a drunk Claire after the shower? Very short, fast read which felt incomplete. You must need to read the series but found nothing telling me this prior to my purchase. The speed of the developing romance is incredibly fast and seemed out of character for Claire. Not a story I would read again...Not interested in the series.
Excellent Novella
I loved this quirky smart novella from the author of Deceiving Derek - hint, you will want to read that one too, and I suggest first. Ms. Procter-King writes with humor and her characters are multi-faceted and engage your emotions. Sometimes character development is lacking in novella format, but this author has the knack of balancing info with story. Great story by the way, excellent romance that dips it toe in the erotica genre, but not fully. I really think this author is one to read!

Nice Part2 very sweet.
Ridge stripped on the side to help put himself through med school. Itâs not something he likes to do at all but if he wants to get through med school itâs a must. Bachelorettes every weekend in the summer are a scary and dirty business but it pays the bill. That is why he was in the laundry room after Tanyaâs bridal shower to wash his costumes from the weekend.
You see he got to work Tanyaâs party from the flyer he had put up her in his dadâs laundry room of his apartment house. That he was watching while his was away. It so happened her maid of honor Claire hired him. She was rather straight forward and professional on the phone.
