Julie Evans’ calm life is thrown a curve ball when her brother arrives the night before his seven-month deployment asking her to take care of his son. As a preschool teacher, she’s used to dealing with toddlers, not nine-year-olds. Noting her nephew’s interest in baseball, Julie signs him up for little league. She’s anything but thrilled to find out that his coach is a celebrity.

Eric Gibson returned to St Marys to lick his wounds and start over. But even in his hometown, he’s known more for his unfortunate appearance on a reality dating show than for his seven years in the major leagues. All he has to show for that poor decision is an ex-wife and a broken heart.

Julie’s obvious disapproval makes her the perfect choice for his team mom. If she doesn’t like him, she won’t cause any problems. But will that be enough to keep his growing interest in her in check? And as Julie’s preconceived notions about sports figures slowly unravel, will she be able to resist the man behind the public persona?

Team Mom is book one in the Finding Love series by Delaney Cameron. This is a delightfully sweet, contemporary romance. I loved the development of the story. Famous but fallen baseball star Eric Gibson is coaching a little league team. Julie Evan’s is caring for her nephew Jordan when she meets his handsome coach. Is Eric the wonderful person he appears to be or is it all a lie? I enjoyed the way Cameron moved her characters through the story; pushing them to seek the truth in each other. “Something in the way he was looking at her told Julie what was going to happen. He’s finally going to kiss me, and I’m not even wearing makeup. That was her last coherent thought before his mouth began to move over hers. His lips tasted of mint and felt cool and firm against the softness of hers. A curious weakness invaded her legs and traveled slowly up her body.” I loved it! It is short enough to read in one evening. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
