Jillian is a college student who doesn't do relationships. Her motto is catch and release. Her friends even have a designated night that they go out to their favorite local bar to "catch" a guy. But after her friends both start dating, Jillian is left as the single girl of the group. Her friends think its about time for her to find someone, but Jillian is not having any of it. One morning she wakes up to her latest catch Liam making her waffles. Though she tries her hardest, he will not be rushed out her door. She finally gets him to leave, only to discover him in one of her classes. Not only do they have to see each other in class, but they will be semester long partners. Liam isn't content with just one night in Jillian's bed and begins trying to break down the wall she has tried to put up. It isn't long before Liam and Jillian are spending time together outside of class and feelings start to develop beyond the attraction that they have always felt to each other. But Jillian has a secret that she is keeping and Liam is on a temporary school visa and will be returning to Scotland after the school year. As their feelings grow and things become more serious, they begin to wonder how things will work out with all the obstacles standing in their way.
I absolutely loved Liam. He was amazing. Sweet and caring, and willing to fight for Jillian. He really enjoyed taking care of Jillian anyway that he could from cooking her waffles to taking care of her when she was sick. He is absolutely one of those genuinely nice guys that you always root for to get the girl! Jillian was funny and complex. She starts off as someone who refuses to almost deal with her condition and that makes her seem a little cold and detached. But as her and Liam start seeing each other he helps her to really start to accept her life and move forward without thinking that she is broken. Liam was absolutely perfect for Jillian and he was so patient with her even without knowing why she was acting and doing the things that she was. Not only did Liam and Jillian have great sexual chemistry and generate a ton of steam, but they also had a great connection. Their relationship definitely wasn't the easiest and there were many times that either one of them could have given up. But their connection was so strong that they were really about to become a better couple and have a deeper relationship than most could ever hope for.
Overall this book was one of my favorite reads in quite awhile. It was very emotional and unique in that it was unlike anything else I have read. We go through most of the book not knowing exactly what is going on with Jillian. There are clues to what she is dealing with, but until the last half of the book it isn't spelled out. I think that because of what she was dealing with and seeing how much she feared it and tried to protect herself, the reader really was able to connect with her more. Liam and Jillian were so realistic to me. At times they would have my heart breaking for them and at other points they would put the biggest smile on my face. It was impossible not to fall in love with them. I could have read so much more about them after this book ended because I just wasn't ready for their story to be finished. I am really hoping that we get to see more of them in the future! I really want to see how they move forward in their relationship after the next semester is over. But I am also very excited to read Teaching Roman which is the story of Jess (Jillian's friend) and Roman who is Liam and Jillian's professor in Catching Liam. I think that fans of romance who are looking for a story that has depth and emotions as well as steamy scenes and likable characters will love this story. For me, this is absolutely a must read.
