I thought I was helping a friend, but instead I only managed to get myself in a heap of trouble which left me with two options. Coach little league as part of community service…or face jail time.
So here I am…coaching little league, a project I wasn’t looking forward to—that’s until I see Stella at the field with her son. Unfortunately for me it takes a lot longer than I’d hoped for her to give me the time of day.
Yet, now that I’ve caught her attention, things are much more complicated than I thought. Who knew juggling a struggling friend, community service, a team bully and a girlfriend would be this hard?
But I won’t let it get me down. Someone once told me the secret to success, and come hell or high water I’ll show everyone around me that I…
…refuse to lose.
Review:
I loved this story. I loved the characters. I loved that it is based in my home state. I love that it shows that small town living can be wonderful. I love that it tells a wonderful story of a woman giving her heart a second chance. I love that it shows that a man can step up and be what he needs to be. Stella leaves NY with a van full of home. She takes her son and just starts driving. She believes its fate that brings her to this small town when a diner has a help wanted sign in the window. What she didn't bargain for was the tall man that came in every morning for coffee. She doesn't even know his name. She just knows that he has kind eyes.
Trystan stays to himself. He takes care of his friends. His friendship soon gets him in trouble though. Although by the end of it, it isn't trouble but his path. His path that brings him closer to Stella. He now knows that his life was meant to go the way it does to find her. She calms him, they are a team instantly and their bond only grows with their story.
I loved these two and their friends. I cannot wait to read more about this group.
