Then an unexpected curveball

When Addie Lane returns to Golden, Georgia, to open her own fitness center, she’s surprised to find her late husband’s best friend, professional baseball player Nolan Travers, offering to invest. Recovering from an injury, Nolan finds solace in helping a friend—and coaching her son Jacob’s baseball team. As the summer continues, their close bond threatens to be undone by Nolan’s expected return to pro ball and Addie’s challenging relationships with her mother and sisters. Only time will tell if their separate paths will pull them apart—or if Addie and Nolan can hit their love out of the park together.

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

From Harlequin Heartwarming: Wholesome stories of love, compassion and belonging.

I really enjoy Good Wholesome Romance books. The latest book I have read is The Single Mom's Second Chance by Tara Randel. It is Book 2 in the A Golden, Georgia Romance series. I had the honor of reading Book 1 and have been anxiously waiting for this book!

WOW, this book truly captured my interest immediately. The main characters in this book are Addie Lane and Nolan Travers. Jacob, Addie's 8 year old son is an integral part of the book also. Addie and her son Jacob have come back to her hometown of Golden, GA after the death of her husband. Addie is wanting to open a Fitness Center and be in her hometown near family. Nolan Travers is also back in town after suffering an injury playing Professional Baseball. Nolan is also the BEST friend of Addie's late husband. I really LOVE that Nolan forms a bond with Jacob and gives him confidence in his Little League play. Addie is really struggling to get the Fitness Center off the ground and is quite surprised, yet happy, when Nolan offers to invest in the business. Financial help is a key point that has been holding Addie back. Addie and Nolan friendship continues to grow and they are both realizing their feelings are stronger then just friends. They both have reluctance at pursuing a relationship as they both have challenges holding them back.The book is one of Second Chances, Family, Faith and overcoming life's challenges. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Wholesome Romance books. WONDERFUL BOOK!
