Caught Looking

Things are starting to heat up in Atlanta, or at least in Jane’s celibate life of two years. On the two year anniversary of her nasty split between her and her ex, Jane’s friends, Molly – class “A” filthy mouth – and Albert – flamboyant dresser extraordinaire – decide it’s high time Jane drops the conservative persona, let loose and start to have some fun once again. 

Brady Matthews, Atlanta Braves first baseman and well known through the media as Atlanta’s gigolo, thought he was just taking his new teammate, Michael Banks, out on the town. Little did he know Michael’s friend from college, Jane, was going to show up at their table and turn his world upside down. 

When Brady meets Jane, he is instantly attracted to Jane’s innocence and inner sex kitten but the last thing she wants is to be thrown into another relationship with such a publicly known man-whore especially after her heart was broken so devastatingly. Brady makes it his mission to win Jane over and make her see him as the man he actually is, not the way the media perceives him. But it is not that simple. Wedding plans, spring training, ex’s, old college friends, the paparazzi and gossip magazines seem to keep getting in the way of Brady’s goal to earn Jane’s heart. 

Caught Looking goes through the love lives of Jane, Brady and their group of friends fighting the hardships of cheating, trusting, losing love and trying to find it once again. In one of America’s hottest cities, the gang heats up the sheets while their lives entangle together causing heartache, suffering through loss and finding love….hopefully.

There is a lot going on in this book! This book is not just about one couple but rather a few couples and few other people as well. It's told from 4 pov's - it doesn't repeat the story from each pov but rather their own story.
Jane has been beat down by her ex-finance and has suppresses her true personality because of it. When she meets Brady he slowly breaks down her walls, and the old Jane comes back to life. Brady has a rep if being a playboy which is the furthest thing from the truth. When he sees Jane, he is on a mission to make her his. It's a bumpy ride for these two with insecurities, past ex-'s & the media to deal with. When things are heading in the tight direction, a situation arises, and things are misinterpret. Let's just say Brady is in for the fight of his life.
Michael was or is good friends with Molly and Jane but when Jane let her ex-finance rule her life she was forced to cut ties with him. Now they are all back on a friend's track but Michael has been harboring feelings for Jane since college too bad she won't take him out of the friend zone. Oh, did I mention he's married, but that isn't going well at all making these feelings for Jane that much more at the forefront. Things get strained between Jane, Michael & Brady.
Molly is crazy, and she is by far my favorite among the bunch. She is so in love with her boyfriend is ridiculous but they are fun, sexy and loving. Things progress for these two but the ending is all about them and is a doozy of a ending- heartbreaking to say the least.
There are a few more characters that round things out. Amazing book that will keep you glued to every page. The ending was sad and heartbreaking. The next book "Playing the Field" I know will make things better for Molly.

Quotes:

"Oh girl, who said anything about a relationship? I'm just looking for a guy to wash out the cobwebs that have formed in that lady cactus of yours!"

"I bet you if I got on top of the bar and shouted that you were Brady Matthews' new girlfriend, every girl in this bar would tackle you and rip your pubes out one by one."
