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 … 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?

Sweet, clean romance.
A clean romance that still brings all the feels. I loved Julie, her nephew, and Eric. All their interactions felt real and showed how an unlikely pair can make love work.
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
**Audiobook review ** Fantastic story!! Little league baseball, romance, adorable nephew and add in a devilish brother just makes this sweet, clean romance swoon worthy! Isn’t it just so great when you find one of those books that completely drags you in, makes you fall in love with the characters, and demands that you sit on the edge of your seat for every nail-biting moment of it? This is one of those books for me. I LOVED everything about this book; the banter that literally had my LOL’ing while reading, the sweet swoon-worthy moments and the heartbreak & humiliation that Eric had to endure thanks to his ex-wife. I wanted to reach thru the book & slap her. This was my first book by Delaney Cameron. Vicki Pierce does a phenomenal job, as usual, narrating. Listen or read this book. You won’t be disappointed.
“Team Mom” by Delaney Cameron
I do love a sweet clean romance… I started reading this audiobook and somehow got sidetracked about half way through… So, I started over again from the beginning and I am glad I did. I picked up on some things I think I missed the first time. It was good witnessing Julie and Eric grow into even better people because of each other. Don’t waste your life/time lamenting the past. Learn from your past and use what you have learned to grow your life into what will bring joy and happiness to you and those you hold close to your heart. Happy Reading ! !
Team Mom is book one in the Finding Love series by Delaney Cameron. This is a delightfully, sweet romance. I loved the development of the story. Famous but fallen baseball star Eric Gibson is coaching a little league team. Julie Evan’s is caring for her nephew Jordan when she meets the handsome coach. Is Eric the wonderful person he appears to be or is it all a lie? I enjoyed the way Cameron moved her characters through the story; pushing them to seek the truth in each other. “Something in the way he was looking at her told Julie what was going to happen. He’s finally going to kiss me, and I’m not even wearing makeup. That was her last coherent thought before his mouth began to move over hers. His lips tasted of mint and felt cool and firm against the softness of hers. A curious weakness invaded her legs and traveled slowly up her body.” I loved it! It is short enough to read in one evening. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Erik is not looking for love. His divorce after marrying his wife from a TV matchmaking program left his shattered. But when he meets Julie, one of his players’s aunt they feel an instant connection. Will they trust their feelings and give ita chance? Nice audibook
Great start to a sweet, clean series.
