Cat Me If You Can
4 Stars
Insurance investigator, Kit Colfax is on the trail of jewel thief Remy Beaulieux when she inadvertently arrests his cousin, Simon “Beau” Beaulieux who just happens to be the Sheriff of a small Louisiana parish. Determined to get to the bottom of his cousin’s case and protect his family name, Beau convinces Kit that they should work together, but she is wary of controlling and manipulative men and has no intention of losing her head over one.
An engaging romance with a touch of mystery.
Kit and Beau’s repartee is witty and amusing, and their chemistry is off the charts. That said, Kit’s insecurities with regard to men are overdone, especially considering that Beau is nothing like her former boyfriend.
Beau is a typical alpha male with a gorgeous Southern drawl to boot. He is reminiscent of the hero in my favorite Karen Robards book, Ghost Moon, so it was easy for him to worm his way into my heart.
The minor suspense plot could have been better developed, but the climax and resolution are exciting.
All in all, not at all bad for a debut book and I look forward to reading the sequel.

mboyea's review against another edition

Decent book. Easy to read and was amusing as well. I didn't get very caught up in it as I did not like the back and forth between the two characters. I would have enjoyed it more if the romance aspect had not been the main focus of the book.

I have mixed feelings about this book. Laden with internal conflicts, assumptions and repetition, I felt it a little too negative as a whole for me. There's good moments though. I truly enjoyed the story when Kit and Beau were just in-the-moment. Had fun together. And not just in the bedroom either, ya nasty~ Those glimpses of their happiness is why I continued reading and rooting for them as a couple.
Kit was kind of annoying. She is the Debbie-downer of this tale. And so stubborn. Over-the-top at times. As a reader it definitely alienated her from me. And don't even get me started on all the repetitious BS! Especially in the middle of the book. It was really hard to get through it at that point. Very frustrating. And it was mostly from Kit and her "Never trust a man", "Never again", "Men are evil", blahblahblah. I'd say 90% of this book is Kit's negativity toward men. Anyway, I liked the writing style so I'll give the author another chance to win me over. But I can't really recommend this one.
