Over the years, Bella Swan has developed a very grumpy attitude towards the world and especially towards baseball players. The reason for that lies in her less-than-spectacular childhood: first, her mother left her husband Charlie to run off with baseball player Phil Dwyer, then Renee dies in a car crash that said baseball player caused because he was driving under the influence of alcohol, then the di** of a sportsman signs away the parental rights to his son Seth - leaving him in Bella's care, and finally, Bella and her half-brother are kicked out of their home by Charlie, who doesn't want anything to do with the "bastard child". As all of it started with an a**hole of a baseball player, Bella is determined to never trust one of them again. Ever.

So, while carefully avoiding anyone playing for her college baseball team, the Arizona Wildcats, Bella indulges in her love for science, more specifically chemistry. Together with her geeky friend Jasper (who is a die-hard fan of Harry Potter and works on developing an invisibility cloak, among other things) she works at the office of her Chemistry professor Dr. Banner, answering the phone and doing research for her MA thesis. One day, a man with an enticingly charming and sexy voice calls the office, asking for Jasper. And even though Bella passes on his messages, Jasper never returns the calls, causing the mysterious man to pay a visit. The moment Bella lays eyes on the handsome man before her, her ovaries explode and fuzzy feelings take over her body. Edward Cullen is gorgeous, charming, polite, smart, and sweet - everything she is looking for in a man. If it wasn't for one thing: he plays for the Wildcats...

H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S! That's Caught Looking in a nutshell! Marvar did an amazing job in creating characters who are both indredibly smart and so funny they will have you in hysterics! Especially Jasper and Alice will leave no eye dry. With his obsession with everything Harry Potter-related, his crazy T-shirts, and even crazier apps, he is the ultimate geek. It takes a small make-over and the right girl before someone can... *cough*... ride his broom... which would be Alice. The latter is full of sexual innuendoes and, as a law student, prepares contracts for everything and everyone. Among other things, she comes up with a sexual contract for Jasper and a friendship contract for Bella. The Edward in this story - which is, except for one chapter, completely written from BPOV - is amazingly sweet and willing to fight for Bella. Even though she refuses his advances in the beginning, a few adorable love notes allow him access to her heart... and body. These two are insatiable and can't keep their hands off each other. Even though the epilogue is missing, the story comes to a more or less satisfying ending. Go ahead and read it for yourselves, you won't regret it!

Caught Looking consists of 26 chapters and a total of 45,967 words. The story is rated MA for foul language and graphic lemons.
