A slow and gentle romance that has a vein of humour running through it. Brooke has a great 8 year old who somehow ends up being involved in the life of his dad. His dad who doesn’t know Timothy is his son. The romance is fun and takes its time and is about two adults reconnecting and discovering that they still care. The backdrop to the book is learning to play baseball, Timothy and friends learn and start to play and there is a whole sub plot with a pushy parent and their need to win at all costs. The two come to a head in a lovely ending. The plot is safe and a warming read, the unveiling of Timothy’s father and now it all happens doesn’t have the heat that I imagine this would in reality though.

Romance. Baseball. Small southern town. I loved this book. It was so cute and fun to read. Definitely a read again and again!!
