As I’ve been slowly making my way through the series, I’ve wanted to get to know the original couple just that little bit more. And, finally I signed up for this free novella. And I was NOT disappointed. I love that throughout this story, Mario works hard at earning Vanessa’s trust., Rebecca Jenshak is a USA Today bestselling author of romance. When she isn't writing, you can find her cheering on local sports teams, hanging out with friends and family, or curled up with a good book., The Catch is light and fun and the perfect summertime read. I'm really excited about bringing some free, swoony goodness to everyone during these crazy times. A few notes about The Catch: This story takes place in the weeks before The Assist starts. Yes, you will see glimpses of all the Smart Jocks, but the story is focused on Mario and Vanessa, Read this romance from Rebecca Jenshak to find out what happens between the two of them and whether Joel has to walk away with a broken heart or will win over the girl of his dreams!, One catch. One extremely lucky catch and the moment just after changed my life. I went from Mario, average college baseball player, to a Valley U hero. All the attention, razzing from my teammates, and newfound fascination from the opposite sex, feels super weird., .
