review 1: I’ve been on a sports romance themed kick lately, and Julie Brannagh writes fun romances with football heroes and the women that love them. I very much enjoyed her last book, Rushing Amy, so when Catching Cameron was available, I promptly made the request.Cameron Ondine is a successful sports reporter whom has worked hard to get where she has. When she interviews football player Zach Anderson on her show, things take a turn for the worse when she asks him tough questions about his on field performance, and his off the field love life. When you learn that Cameron and Zach knew each other in the past, and were briefly married, the animosity and disdain that each one has for the other becomes clear.As a result of the on-air catastrophe, Cameron is sent to monitor the Sharks... more training camp and she and Zach have to figure out a way to deal with each other so that it doesn’t turn out to be headline news every time they’re together. I like the author’s heroines because she makes them smart, competent, and ambitious. Cameron has turned away from her rich, snooty family in favor of making a name for herself in the world of sports journalism. She has a hard row, and the book makes it clear that she still has a long way to go before a lot of people take her seriously at her job.I wish I could say more on Zach, but truth be told, he came across as the perfunctory hero. Rich, good looking, takes care of his family, wants to make a good impression on Cameron even though they left things on an ugly note years ago. He was fine, if not particularly memorable – and I had to go back and re-read my notes and even parts of the book just to make sure I wasn’t mistaken on certain plot points.The forced proximity between Cameron and Zach causes them to re-evaluate the mistakes and miscommunication that happened between the two of them ten years ago. Cameron’s rich and powerful father played a part in their separation when he offered Zach five million dollars to disappear out of Cameron’s life. He does come back and tries again to wield his influence, but both Zach and Cameron are prepared for him this time and send him packing.As the most casual fan of football ever, (I’d be hard pressed to tell you what a safety is) I can’t remark on the accuracy of the details regarding the football, but it does have a sizable presence in this book – I enjoyed that because I found it somewhat absent from the author’s last book.The romance is cute if a bit unremarkable, but if you’re looking for a sweet romance with likable characters, then Julie Brannagh’s Catching Cameron should fit the bill.- Ronnie
review 2: First off readers, this is a series where each book can be read as a stand-alone novel , so if you have yet to read the previous two books - relax as it's alright, you won't be confused about Catching Cameron. Catching Cameron focuses on two main characters News reporter Cameron Ondine and NRL Footballer Zach Anderson.

Cameron tries very hard to keep calm during the interview but it backfires as personal feelings come steaming up to the surface , the awful interview goes viral and it seems her boss has a plan up his sleeve to fix it - Cameron must spend the month with the Seattle Sharks during their training camp which means Cameron and Zach will be under the same roof for a whole month. Will the pair as they discuss what went wrong be able to repair their friendship and in the moment, maybe spark up the relationship that led to marriage ? Has fate given Cameron and Zach another chance at a happily ever after after it was stolen from them , the first time around ?Find out in Love and Football starring Cameron Ondine and Zach Anderson in the titled book "Catching Cameron" by Julie Brannagh. less
