How to Catch a Bad Boy by Cat Schield is the seventh book in the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Heir Apparent series. I found this story to be amazingly good. Unfortunately, this isn’t a standalone read. How to Catch a Bad Boy is an enemies to lovers, second chance romance five years in the making. The story contains spoilers relating to books three thru six.
From the moment Asher appeared on the page in the first book, Back in the Texan’s Bed written by Naima Simone, I had a little crush on him. He is definitely book boyfriend material. There's more to Asher than meets the eye. He has a lot of layers that he doesn't show people. But he definitely has his reasons. Asher is the adopted step-son of Royal’s Rusty Edmond. With his step-siblings, Ross and Gina, and Ross’s best friend Billy Holmes, the group with Rusty’s backing organized Soiree on the Bay, the luxury food, art, and wine festival scheduled to be held on Edmond family-owned Appaloosa Island. Proceeds from the event were earmarked to help at least one charitable organization in the area.
Rumors have been circulating for a while that money has been disappearing from the event coffers. When tragedy strikes, the rumors become reality and the extent of this reality is staggering. Asher, whose name keeps coming up in transactions becomes the prime suspect and is left to find a way to defend himself, once his own family turns their backs on him.
Enter Dallas private investigator Lani Li. Lani and Asher share a history, one that involves her ending up with a broken heart. This time, she’s determined not to fall for his charms. If Lani can find and recover the missing money, she has the possibility of truly making a name for herself in the PI world.
If I could give a book more than 5 stars, Cat’s How to Catch a Bad Boy would be the book! Asher and Lani really and truly owned my heart. I will admit to my heart sinking when I read the blurb for this book. I never imagined this would be the story for Asher. My heart broke for him and everything that he had to endure. Lani was the perfect heroine for him. “She was methodical. He was spontaneous. Yet they both loved a challenge and never let fear stop them from engaging in thrilling adventures.” Lani made Asher drop his shields and reveal his true self in order to be with her. I wish I could look into the future and see how these two are after this story ended.
Bidding on the Texan by Barbara Dunlop is the final book in the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Heir Apparent series. I’m excited to see how this series ends, after all the revelations of How to Catch a Bad Boy.
