Blurb:

They used to call me one of the greatest baseball pitchers of all time.

Now someone is about to call me ‘Dad.’

Losing my major league baseball career led me back to my hometown with a chip on my shoulder and no one to blame but myself.

And even though I reluctantly just agreed to help coach the high school baseball team, my life felt flat.

But when my crush from high school tells me she’s pregnant after one hot night together, my dull life from before becomes anything less than boring. 

Unfortunately, the way I found out was after her teenage son broke into my automotive repair business, making our relationship even more complicated.

Scottie Daniels has always been the girl that got away.

But now that she’s having my kid, the dream of a family with my dream girl becomes the only thing I can focus on.

Can I persuade her to give us a chance at having a family?

Can I get her son to let me in too?

And can I also convince Scottie that sometimes you fall—but you can fall into the right place at the right time with the right man when it counts?

Review:

For someone that’s never been in a relationship, Grady proves himself to be a darn good partner. Having grown up without a dad, he pretty much just does what he would have wanted his own dad to do. He’s there for Chase and Scottie, supporting them, showing up for them, and giving them the love they’ve not had up until now.

Scottie’s marriage was not the best and she’s still carrying those scars, finding it difficult to trust. She’s spent years being everything for her son, never being able to rely on his father. Little by little, though, Grady is showing her that not all men are the same.

While some of the dialogue from the spicy moments were occasionally a little … enh for me, my biggest complaint is that we didn’t get enough of Grady with Chase. I would have loved to see more of their interactions, them bonding, and Grady showing him what a real father figure is like. The bits that we do get are great and I just wanted more as he proves to both Scottie and Chase that he can be trusted.

This is my first book by Harlow James and I liked it. The pacing is good, and while there’s steam the emphasis is on the people and their connections. And with the final chapter she gives us, I’m SOOO curious about what happens in the next book 🙂

Author Info:

Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.

I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.

About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!

But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.

My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.

When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉
