Catch is a quick and entertaining read. Max is a strong character who has overcome a difficult childhood through hard work and plain old fashioned ambition. However, modesty and humbleness are not character traits that Max embraces, but I chalked her moments of conceitedness up to her having to compensate for all of the hardships she had growing up. She had to be confident in herself to overcome all of the challenges she faced in her early years. Catch (I love that name) is the assassin hired to kill Max who has made the huge mistake of not only sleeping with her boss, but copying files which she hopes will save her job. This proves to be not at all a smart move for a girl who prides herself on being smarter than the average bear!Catch changes his mind after kidnapping Max and can't bring himself to go through with the plan to kill her. Catch decide that they will go on the run until they can figure out what to do next. Both Catch and Max have issues that will complicate their relationship to no end and their baggage definitely manifests in both of their strong willed personalities. There's lots of banter back and forth between Max and Catch, but I have to say I found myself rolling my eyes at Max every once in a while. Max can be a little much at times. Sometimes a smart mouth needs to cause a smacked bottom-and not in a good way! I don't mind a little sass in a heroine, but Max could move from sass to obnoxious a little too quickly for my taste.For the most part the story flowed pretty well. The beginning was a little slow, but once the adventure of being on the run starts I really got swept into the story. The sexual tension between Max and Catch was nicely drawn out and by the time they get together I got the "finally" feeling which I like. Sometimes it's nice for the physical relationship to not happen too fast. This is definitely worth picking up and I am sure that I will be reading more books from Solange Poirier in the future.
