Another cute read by Aurora Rose Reynolds!! I definitely enjoyed this one way more than the first book. the characters were great and the romance was so cute! overall a solid romance contemporary!

AAR never lets me down!
I fly through her books in hours. They are quick reads, but have everything I'm looking for to entertain my mind for a few hours.

I always find myself letting myself read another chapter and another. I always finish one of hers and immediately go into reread an old one because I can't get enough.
Gaston, (Beauty and the Beast) aka Gus is a man after Cassie. Only Cassie is not looking. However, Gus pursues until she can't say no. Cassie is a sweet baker, but has been burned more than once and has build up walls for charming sweet men like Gus.
Add a sweet little dog and this book is adorable.

This one was just plain fun with lots of sexy times added in to keep it moving along. It starts off with Chrissie celebrating at Leah's bachelorette party where she meets the club owner Gaston. He is yummy, too yummy for his own good and she tells him to leave her alone which he does not do and sends her flowers with his number. No, she does not call which really does not go over well but thankfully he is persistent and when they do finally get together find out they live in the same building. Convenient! These two do not do anything in a normal pace and it is full steam ahead which is the only pace Gaston works which is great because they are perfect together. Family drama and work drama all go together until they get everything settled and happily ever after is on the horizon. I definitely love this series and cannot wait to see what is next up!

**Received this ARC for review from the publisher via NetGalley**

Baiting Him is the second book in the How to Catch an Alpha series. I loved this one! I liked Chrissie in the first book but this book definitely brought me into love territory. I also adored the hero, Gaston. He was amazing. I finished this book in a day and could not put it down. I can't wait to read more from Aurora Rose Reynolds!

I believe this is my first Aurora Rose Reynolds' book to read, despite my friend loving her and recommending her to me a while back. But I loved this book. It is such a feel good, full of hope, the most swoonworthy male character, and a great female lead who wears her heart on her sleeve. There were so many cute scenes, especially with the girls Chrissie had working with her in their excitement over Gaston. And any scene Gaston and Chrissie shared either puts a smile on your face, a need for a fan, or a tear in your heart. Gaston is just a perfect man who went for what he wanted and never wavered from getting Chrissie. Goodnight the man is intoxicating. Chrissie gave as good as she got. I loved all the family interactions, even if they were heartbreaking at times. Such a beautifully written book that makes me want to read more of Mrs. Reynolds' stories.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher through Netgalley.

Baking has consumed Chrissie’s life from morning to sunset. With the dream of owning a bakery a current reality, Chrissie has little time for anything else. With friends that are determined to pry Chrissie away for a night of fun, a bachelorette party is the focus for the night. While saddled up to the bar, Chrissie crosses paths with a sexy hunk that deserves far more than a second glance.

Imagine the surprise that Chrissie feels once she learns that the hunk she was flirting with owned the nightclub. Gaston is determined to make the interaction with Chrissie count. With a jilted heart, Chrissie can’t believe that any guy that stands out like Gaston would be interested in someone like her. There is an undeniable chemistry that sparks when Gaston and Chrissie interact. Where will it lead? Only time will tell if this night on the town turns into something more.

Have you had the pleasure of reading a book by Aurora Rose Reynolds? I have to admit that this is the FIRST book by the author, and I am hooked!! Gaston and Chrissie are quite the matchup! This duo exudes charm, witty banter, and an adorable connection of the heart. Baiting Him was a charming read that left me wanting to dive into more from this author!!

Club owner Gaston is in shock after meeting a woman who seems to want nothing to do with him. Annoyed that his charm & good looks didn’t effect her like other women, Gaston goes out of his way for a date with her.

Even though bakery owner Chrissie felt the instant attraction to smooth-talking Gaston, the last thing she needs is to be another notch on his belt. When he buys her flowers and won’t leave her alone, she finally agrees to go out with him. With Chrissie dealing with a lot of personal and family issues, Gaston continues to prove she can count on him.

This is a sweet story of two people who fall for each other hard. Gaston and Chrissie are adorable together, and loved seeing more of Leah & Tyler from the first book. Another great read from this author!

Another great book!!! Aurora Rose Reynolds is one of my go to authors. She writes great love stories and this one definitely delivers!! I love that there was no unnecessary drama! I would highly recommend this book!

Baiting Him by Aurora Rose Reynolds is book 2 in the How to Catch an Alpha series. This is Gaston and Chrissie's story.
This is such a sweet, funny and a great insta-love romance read!!!
Chrissie has started a new bakery in town trying to start anew but things start happening from her past. Gaston/Gus owns bars in the area and he ends up meeting Chrissie in his bar. His eye catches on her and never lets up. Their chemistry is sizzling. I loved the feels, the plot, the humor, and the sweet moments. I enjoyed reading this story alot. I loved the insta-love story tons. There are just a few things that I wish would have been explained/resolved but overall, phenomenal read. I can't wait for book 3 in this series.


My Rating: 4.5 stars *******

Bravo! Round of applause to Aurora for another amazing book!

My heart went pitter patter when Gaston walked into the bakery just like the girls that work there. Lol!

Chrissie is shellshocked at Gaston approaching her and doesn’t quite know what to do. That’s ok. Gaston knows exactly what he wants and that is Chrissie.

I love the cast of characters we meet and felt so bad for Chrissie’s mom.

You will devour this book and be left wanting more!

5 Stars!

Aurora Rose Reynolds is back with the second standalone book in the unforgettable How To Catch An Alpha series and what a beautiful, fun, sexy, swoony romance this was. If Catching Him, book one stole your heart then juuuust wait until you meet Chrissie and Gaston in Baiting Him... be still my fast beating heart.

Sizzling, undeniable chemistry. Steam that'll have you squirming in your seat and blushing with heat. Touches of suspense that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. Unputdownable, unforgettable moments that'll have your heart soaring with love. Characters that'll steal your breath and leave you wanting soooo much more.

ARR is my absolute number one favorite author of all time y'all! Anything she writes I'll read and I'd follow her words, her boom to the very ends of the Earth. #noragrets

I highly recommend this book.

4 Stars!
Chrissie owns a successful bakery called the Sweet Spot that keeps her very busy. She hardly has time to date, and hasn’t made it a priority since her business takes up all her time and attention. Then she meets the insanely gorgeous and persistent club owner Gaston and everything changes. She goes from not being interested in a relationship, to giving him a chance as he relentlessly pursues her.

Gaston is used to usually getting what he wants, but then he crosses paths with Chrissie who at first doesn’t seem that interested in what he has to offer. He’s intrigued, and wants the chance to get to know her better. From the moment they met, there’s just something different about her, and he won’t give up. He loves her laugh, and how she smells like cupcakes. She’s absolutely stunning, and he wants her to be his. He is up for the challenge, and prepared to convince her he’s worth her time.

Baiting Him (How to Catch an Alpha #2) by Aurora Rose Reynolds is a fun, flirty, sexy romance full of humor and chemistry. I really enjoyed this story, and love Aurora’s writing! I hope we get more books in this series!

Light and Sweet read

Baiting Him is the second book in the How to Catch an Alpha series, and like the first one it's a light and sweet read. It's low on drama, but not low on romance. It's got that typical Aurora Rose Reynolds alpha male and a strong and fun heroine.

"Leave him wanting more"

Gaston/Gus owns several bars and he meets Chrissie when she's out on her friend Leah's bacelorette party. Their connection is instant and the chemistry strong. Gus went after what he wanted, but Chrisse was more cautious due to past experience.

"Open up a little and see what happens"

Chrissy is not very open to start something after seeing her friends failed relationships, and helping her mother through heartbreak. But Gus does not give up and makes Chrissy see that what they have is worth taking a chance on.

Baiting Him is a well written story I enjoyed reading. It was low on angst, which made it easy to read, but it still had those emotional moments that spiced things up a bit. A cute instalove story that brightened my day, and I look forward to the next book in this series.

I’m a massive fan of Aurora Rose Reynolds – her books never disappoint!

Baiting Him is the second book in the How to Catch an Alpha series, and although we meet Chrissie in the first book (Catching Him), this can be read as a complete standalone).

Gaston's never met anyone like Chrissie. He's intrigued and totally obsessed by her from the get go! Chrissie is feisty, sassy, and tells it how it is. Their first meeting is hilarious!

Chrissie spends most of her time working – she doesn't have time for men. She does, however, make plenty of time for Gaston!

Baiting Him is such a sweet, sexy read. I read it in a day - I couldn't put it down! 5 stars.

DA BUMMMM - Aurora Rose Reynold has done it again ! Another Alpha claimed - another woman's heart captivated - and it's not only Chrissie Girl that I talking about !
.
From the first paiges I couldn't put this book down, I laughed hard, sometimes I was crying very loud... with lots of blush around. Gus and Chrissie are true pantie-heart melting couple.
.
I haven't read their story - I've consumed every word faster than the speed of light. And the best part ???? Baiting Him is Mrs.Reynolds at the finest ! Her #DaBumLove from the very first sight always is one of the best love stories I've ever read. There are love, passion with the right dose of drama in the background.
.
I truly love this series and this book.
Grab Your Copy if You haven't because it's for sure MUST READ title from this author.

Baiting Him is the second title in the How to Catch an Alpha series. If you are after an enjoyable, sweet and low angst read this is the book for you.


Chrissie the heroine is hardworking, sweet, kind and caring, and tries to take care of those around her to the detriment of herself.


Gaston ‘Gus’ is an alpha but he’s also sweet, kind and caring and a gentleman as well.


The chemistry this pair shares is undeniable and I enjoyed seeing the couple from the first title appear within this storyline. I look forward to future additions to this series.

I enjoyed reading Chrissie and Gaston’s journey (you read me right me, that’s the hero’s name), from insta-attraction to winning the girl over and somehow feeling pretty realistic and down to earth about the main characters’ lives, professionally and personally. I appreciated it.

Gaston was definitely book boyfriend material, confident, sexy and so swoony. What he wanted was to get the woman who stole his every thought since he met her. Running a successful business and being busy didn’t bother him until he found the one. He was such as sweet as smoking hot and not giving a damn about what people think, going with his guts.

Chrissie was also busy with her bakery, giving no time to meet someone, until she stumbled into Gaston, who wasn’t giving up by showing her how they felt good together. I liked this character.
She was down to earth, trying to fight this attraction but hopeless when it came to this determined man.

However, it was a good story, with endearing characters, so swoony and a little cheesy at times.
I appreciated the flirty banter and humour as well. I liked this second installment of this series!

📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚

Such a fun, sweet, and Hot read!

Gaston and Chrissie oulala! This was such an amazing book and I’d been looking forward to reading it for months. The author writing is flawless, and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and none that I was expecting, and many shockingly intimate I have become a huge fan of this author. She writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.

Authors Blurb: Chrissie doesn’t have time for guys, hot or otherwise; most days, she barely has time to sleep. With a thriving bakery that demands her attention and plenty of proof that relationships aren’t worth the trouble, she’s content to go it alone. Too bad she’s unwittingly baited Mr. Tall, Dark, and Way Too Gorgeous and he’s just waiting for a chance to bite.
Gaston is used to getting what he wants, but he also knows nothing good ever comes easy. From the moment he meets Chrissie, he realizes that this woman who makes him laugh, smells like cupcakes, and looks like a tasty snack is going to be his greatest challenge. And if he’s lucky, she’ll be his biggest reward.

But someone else wants to catch Gaston at all costs even if it means endangering the lives of the people he loves. Somehow Gaston must thwart danger and convince Chrissie that he’s the perfect catch.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

I am pretty sure I love Chrissie and Gaston a little more than Leah and Tyler. Well first, the fact that his name is Gaston and he has a dog named LeFou, and he is an alien from outer space (not really, so don’t freak thinking this is a sci-fi lol).

Gaston was smitten from the beginning and did what he could t convince Chrissie that they should see where things go. I love how he was there right there from the beginning and never let up with his pursuit. He dropped everything to be there when she needed him and was just what Chrissie needed in her life.

Chrissie is a workaholic who had her whole life’s perception twisted not too long ago. When life throws you the curveball it threw her, things tend to get skewed and Chrissie just needed someone to help her see it. I love Gaston and Chrissie’s banter.

I loved this quick, funny, sweet book and the characters in it.

Baiting or teasing...

Lol. The meet cute for these two has me sporting a big asz grin! How many people can you say meet this way!?! Also their conversation following that meeting already set up for complete and total swoon. I was an easy lure.

With a man like Gaston, I can't imagine it being possible to fight that pull. Utterly devastating in the looks department and 100% wonderful in personality, I am surprised our Prince Charming wasnt already tied down.
