Wakefield Louisiana, where nothing exciting ever happens ...until Jake Porter moves into town to coach the 8th grade girls’ basketball team. The handsome pro ball player is shocked to learn his ex-wife is the school librarian. Addy and Jake have been divorced since before PJ was born, and PJ doesn’t know her father’s name. For their daughter’s sake, Addy and Jake agree to keep their previous relationship a secret, which isn’t easy in a town of 1400 nosy people.

I really really enjoyed this story! I feel like I know the people in the little town of Wakefield, and I can relate to the small town gossip and the feeling that everyone knows your business. I can also relate to doing whatever it takes to protect your children, and sometimes as a mom, I don't always make the best decision, but it's the one I feel is best at that time. I think Addy and Jake were both selfish, but they were young and needed some life experience and growing up to realize what was what. I loved the humor in this book and the realness of the characters. I'm anxious to know what the authors will write about in the next book, but the possibilities are endless since several side-characters were introduced. Great job on this one! If you like clean stories that you'd see on Lifetime or Hallmark if made into a movie, then pick this one up.

Enjoyable book

I usually read at least 1 book daily. I probably leave a review once a month if the book kept my interest , had a great storyline, and I would re-read. This book was great. I stayed up to finish it. I HAVE NOT been given a free copy of the book but I am leaving this feedback to encourage the authors to write future books! Also so that others who read feedback s before purchasing books can see my feedback.

This is a cute story which is written well. I enjoyed the sparring between Addy and Jake, and Jake's determination to win Addy back.

Pretty good.

I found this to be a good storyline, one that was new to me. The characters are well written and believable.
