Publisher's Summary

She thinks sports figures make bad role models. He's her nephew's new baseball coach. 

Julie’s 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 his coach is a celebrity. 

Eric 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 Player

I was pleasantly surprised with this book, I didn’t really know going into it what I would get but what I found was very likable characters. Julie takes on a parenting role of her nephew who is 9 because her brother gets deployed. It really isn’t a book about that it is more about the struggles of raising a child who isn’t hers and connecting with him. She signs him up for baseball knowing he likes it and she becomes the Team mom hence the name and the coach well he isn’t too shabby.

I really like the connection and the friendship Julie and Eric strike up. I was invested and happy when things when my way. I really enjoyed the writing and though this is more on the cleaner side of romance it really did hold my interest and I didn’t feel like I was missing anything intimacy. I would 100% read more books by this author and by the narrator I think she too did a great job giving each character their own voice without overdoing it.

A delightful relationship development romance!

This was a really enjoyable story. The premise was fun, & I enjoyed the flirty romance that developed between Eric and Julie.

Eric is one of those people who is very open - what you see is what you get - so people who use others or backstab are pretty foreign to those of us who don't operate that way, & we typically end up learning by painful experience. Eric's lesson is particularly painful, but when he meets Julie, she catches his eye and eventually his interest - finally someone who's open and authentic, too. And attractive and sweet... Their path to true love isn't smooth, but it's not super angsty, either - it's just right!

This book begins the Finding Love series which is one of my all-time favorites, and introduces the community from which the others' stories are written. Each book is even better than the one before it! I'm so excited that they're now being produced as audiobooks!

*Clean romance level: sweet kisses

Appearances aren’t always what they seem

This was an absolutely wonderful story. I really enjoyed the characters. They felt like people I would like to know in real life.

Both Eric and Julie stepped up and did the right things when needed, even when some of the people around them didn’t have the best judgment in the world.

Enjoyable!!!

What a wonderful story! Family, career, dreams, and eccentric couple – I love their banter. What fun! And the love story … sigh … dreams come true!

Good Story & Narration

TEAM..MOM
Lakeside Park..Julie,with her nephew Jordan aged nine, wanting to play outfield. Her brother was being deployed and wanting her to watch him, how hard could that be. Then noticing the coach was a celebrity, she disapproved and now he wanted her to be a Team Mom. His thoughts he wouldn’t have another female wanting to know him for who he was. The narration was good by Vickie Pierce. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Taking a chance in love

My favorite part of this book was the friendship and connection between the main characters. They acted like adults and found trust in each other through constant work and a leap of faith. Plus, it’s swoony. First book from this author for me. I’m familiar with the narrator and think she’s awesome.

Team Mom

This is my first book by Delaney Cameron and I’m so excited to have found such a great author! Team mom is a super cute clean romance that engages you from the very beginning.

Sweet story, nice narration

Really enjoyable story with a HEA. The story was very sweet, little drama, clean romance.

The narrator was easy to listen to and brought the story to life.

Sweet, clean love story

Story: 4.5 stars

I enjoy a story where the man sees what he wants and goes after it. I also liked that she was cautious at first and that it spurred him on to prove that he was a good person. Not at all who the media made him out to be.

Narration: 4.5 stars

I loved Ms. Pierce’s smooth southern drawl. It was very calming and a joy to listen to. My only complaint, and it’s a little one, is that strong emotions were read with just as calm and smooth a drawl. Still, I’d happily listen to her again!
*poor, **ok, ***good, ****very good, *****something special

Fantastic clean romance

I got lost into this story almost immediately. It was a lovely clean romance which allowed me to escape the world for a bit. Well worth a listen. Wonderful characters with a great plot line.
