My Review:
Catching Preeya is a strong, satisfying read to the Paradise south series. I’m pleased with how things turned out for both of the characters but I had a hard time reading since it was in a narrative way – still I loved Preeya’s spirit, how she wanted to chase her dreams, I could see a lot of myself in her.
Catching Preeya brings readers to this flight and it has a fabulous setting even tho it’s in a flight mostly.
Preeya’s spirit to do what she ever wanted and how she believes in her dreams.
I’ve wanted to do what she did and go for what I want and that includes traveling a lot so this story just made me even more eager for pursuing my dreams.
Rissa Brahm managed to seamlessly blend a contemporary feel with what Ben was dealing (which isn’t a topic I really like but she really write it so well that I even liked here) with a love story. It was actually like watching a movie.
Ben and Preeya take center stage in Catching Preeya. Ben was struggling so badly and he was trying to get free from his past. Preeya is such a strong soul, on the other hand with the chapters you see how she grows more and more and I was so happy to see that, I was highfiving my kindle every time I saw how much she was moving forward. They run into each other when they most needed it and that’s how we know that love works in a mysterious way that we won’t understand, because you can’t planned it just happened when you less expected. They are the perfect combination. They definitely show why opposites attract.
Oh and this book happens at the same time as Tempting Isabel (book 1 in this series, doesn't have to be read before this one), and it was really cool to see how this story fit in with the other which were perfect!
The plot is fast-paced from beginning to end. There were quite a few surprising plot twists (and some not so surprising ones) that really kept things going.
Overall, Catching Preeya will really please fans of the Paradise South series. It wont disappointed.
