Title: Catch Me
Author: Claire Contreras
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance.
Release Date: November 17th, 2013
In the past, I’ve always been given everything I’ve wanted, but nothing that I truly needed. I’ve experienced a lot of things in my twenty-five years, everything except the one thing I want. It’s the one thing that can’t be bought. It can’t even be taken, it has to be given. And nobody has ever given it to me, not really anyway.
Not until him.
Music is the center of both our lives, but as he found his place in it, I lost my way. He soared, while I spiraled down a destructive path.
I lost myself in more ways than I can count.
The ironic thing is that I didn’t realize how lost I was until he found me.
And now that he has, I have to wonder if he’ll stay around long enough to catch me.
Claire Contreras did it again!! She continues to write such amazing character driven stories that you cant help but fall in love with. I absolutely LOVED Brooklyn and Nick!! The storyline was fantastic and different. I loved getting a glimpse into the music industry from their POV. Brooklyn was such a beautiful character. Oh and Nick is just down right yummy!! Growing up privileged does not mean you grow up happy. Brooklyn is a prime example of this. I loved the fact that Claire brought us a story about the dark side of teens with money. It is real life; the drugs and parties really do happen. There were so many difficult subject matters dealt with in this book. With Claires amazing writing style she brought them to light in such a beautiful way. From drugs, to suicide to depression, your emotions are really put through the ringer. I connected to the characters on so many different levels and really fell in love with every one of them. This is such an emotionally charged story so be prepared with you kleenex. I loved every minute of it!!

Claire Contreras graduated with her BA in Psychology from Florida International University. She lives in Miami, Florida with her husband, two little boys, and three dogs.
Her favorite past times are: daydreaming, writing, and reading.
She has been described as a random, sarcastic, crazy girl with no filter.
Life is short, and it’s more bitter than sweet, so she tries to smile as often as her face allows. She enjoys stories with happy endings, because life is full of way too many unhappy ones or ones that will scare the daylights out of her and have her looking over her shoulder at every turn. Like I said, she’s very random.
