There’s nothing quite like being trapped with the one man you can’t stand...
Caitlyn Brooks can’t believe her luck when her biggest rival turns up at an out of town conference she’s attending. CEO of the company threatening to take hers down, she wants nothing to do with Damien Reid or his billions. But the man behind the boardroom is so much more than she imagined.
Damien can barely believe it when Caitlyn shows up at the conference reception. He has no desire to spend a moment longer with the infuriating woman than he has to. Except he can’t seem to stop his eyes from following her or the unnerving need to ruffle her perfect feathers. When teasing turns to touching, he’s not sure if it’s the best or worst mistake of his life.
There’s no denying their companies are on a collision course and their hearts might not survive the fallout.

If you are looking to read a quick contemporary romance book, then I recommend Catching the CEO by Victoria Davies. This was the first book I read from this author, and I enjoyed it. It’s the third book in The Billionaire’s Second Chance, but can be read as a standalone. One of the reasons why I liked this book was due to the fact it was Enemies to Lovers story. I’ve always loved this trope in romance stories. I also love when an author has both main characters point of views in the story too. This is when you can read both characters feelings for each other and its not one-sided.

Victoria Davies two main characters Caitlyn Brooks and Damien Reid are powerhouse CEOs, which are rivals of each other since they are in the same business of pharmaceuticals. They can’t stand each other, and they’ve had it out for each other for the past couple of years now until they end up spending time with each other at a conference. Now they are back home and can’t stop thinking about their time at the conference. There, of course, is going to be drama at home since they are supposed to be rivals.

If you’ve ever heard of the saying that if someone picks on you or annoys you, then it usually means the person likes you. Yup…this is one of those stories. I enjoyed the rivalry at the beginning between Caitlyn and Damien, and I felt the tension between the two, even though they didn’t want to admit it at first. When they finally got together, there were some very steamy moments. It’s not all initiated by Damien either. Both are powerhouse CEOs that like to be in charge, so they both take in charge in the boardroom and the bedroom.

Let’s not forget the drama that unfolds in the story though since they are rivals of each other. There’s a certain someone in the story that seriously ticked me off, but I’m happy that one of the main characters handled that certain someone that caused drama.

I look forward to reading more from Victoria Davies and reading the first two books in her Billionaire’s Second Chances series now altering this book.


Story Rating: 4 stars

Steaminess Rating: 3.5 stars

Standalone or part of series: Part of series, but can be read as a standalone since each book has a different couple/storyline.

Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
