A Great Catch is an excellent story by Lorna Seilstad. It is the second book of the Lake Manawa series. Emily is working hard for the cause of women's right to vote, when she meets Carter, a baseball player for the Manawa Owls. She doesn't want to fall for him, but she may not be able to help herself! Highly recommended!

I am a big fan of covers. Yes, book covers:) If they are really eye catching or not, that is. That is why I just knew this book was going to be great! A Great Catch has one of the best covers I have ever seen on a book. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and is only surpassed by mystery. But this book really has a wonderful cover that makes you want to read the book.
In this series, Lorna has done a wonderful job. The first book, Making Waves, was well written and quite interesting. This one follows in the same vein and was quite entertaining. There is not a lot of in-depth thought but I really liked the history. It shows a lot of the mind set back then and how women were looked upon. Emily was quite klutzy, which I thought was kind of funny. Many times today the books portray perfect women with the perfect figure who are graceful as can be. Not the case in this book. I also loved her aunt's! They are really hysterical and quite interesting. You will just have to read this book to find out more:) I also liked that characters from the first book, Making Waves, show up in this one.
Overall, I was really impressed with the style of this book. The characters were very like-able and the plot was great. I can't wait to read the next book!
