She wants forever. He plays it day by day. They’re both wishing for the best in USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke’s charming and sexy hopefully-ever-after romance. Single mom Palmer Clark will not be sidelined by the new man in town. Sure, the honey-tongued baseball legend is gorgeous, loves puppies, and has charmed his way into the community’s heart, but Palmer craves stability. Nothing about Cole says forever. So why is he so hard to resist? Cole is swinging through town to visit his parents when he meets the kind of down-to-earth distraction he’s been looking for since retiring from the majors. True, his long-term relationship score is zero. But even though raising his average with Palmer seems impossible, it’s worth a shot. As promising as the summer nights are, fate turns small-town dreams upside down, and some lessons are learned the hard way. But having faith in love and choosing hope over fear might get Palmer and Cole to the sweet spot they’re looking for.

This is a sweet book and the story was just adorable. I am always up for a single parent story, and Palmer was a women I could identify with. She put all of her energy into her child, and kept going forward. When Cole, a retired pro-baseball player, enters her and her son’s life, everything gets flipped upside down and it shows that she can still have a dream come true.
Cole retired from baseball early, according to most, and fled to the small town his parents moved to for a break. He wasn’t expecting to find myself coaching little league and falling in love with the team mom, but it happened anyway. Then, when the phone call that confirms his fears happens, he has to decide what he’s going to do next.
I really loved the way the author built this town and characters up. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this for my honest opinion.
