Catching You by E.M. Lindsey

“You make me feel like myself, just the way you are with me. And I like that I’m yours.”

I can’t believe we’ve arrived at the final book in this wonderful series. I’ve enjoyed every book in this series; the found family was unmatched, and the variety of pairings was refreshing. And Gage and Fallon were the perfect couple to close things up with. Gage has been a mainstay in the series since he was just a gangly teenager in the early books, and it was great seeing the man he grew up to be. No doubt the amazing men he had surrounding him his entire life played a big part in that. But he’d experienced a terrible trauma a few years ago, which he was still healing from. My heart broke for him when we learned in the previous book what he’d gone through, but I thought his healing journey was so well done. Recovery from something like that isn’t linear, and this book portrayed the highs and lows. 

Despite all he’d been through, Gage was still able to open his heart to Fallon, and their relationship was so beautiful. Fallon had a lot on his plate. A careless choice he made one night turned his world upside down. But Gage never hesitated to step in and support him, so he didn’t have to go through it alone. And along the way, they fell in love. These two were so perfectly matched, I loved the way they cared for and supported one another. Their communication was fantastic, and I loved the little family they built. I won’t spoil anything, but the way that all played out was great. Tugged at all my heartstrings! 

I loved seeing cameos from several of the other guys from the series. Obviously, Adele played a big part in this one. He’s always been one of my favs from the very first book, and he continued to prove why he’s a great father and the de facto leader of this group. There were a few difficult scenes between him and Gage, but also some really beautiful father/son moments that brought tears to my eyes. These men are all so open, honest, and not afraid to be vulnerable. It was one of the things I loved most about this series, and there were so many prime examples of those things throughout this book. 

The epilogue was so sweet. I only wish we had gotten to see more of the other guys during the epilogue to help say goodbye to these wonderful characters! But even so, I really enjoyed this book, and I’m sad to see the series draw to a close.
