Summary: a great story
Comment: I loved MOTHER OF THE YEAR! Evie and her kids were real people, characters I really liked. Her goals and problems were something I could identify with, and that made me like her all the more. Joe is a hero to die for - truly yummy. A great read!

Summary: Please do more research
Comment: While the premise of the romance, 2 single parents fighting for the same job, was nice I wish the author would do a bit more research on the state of Iowa before she uses it for a setting. Iowans do not go to bed after the 9 o'clock news. The local news is at 10pm. The streets aren't rolled up after the news is over. Yes, farmers work long hours, but they do managed to stay up for the 10 o'clock news. Two opposing views of the town of Newsome are given. One is a small rural town. In the next breath it is large enough for a community college and a tv station? Come on, please paint a realistic picture here. I'd challenge the author to show me a place like this, not just in Iowa, but anywhere in the country. Coaches for athletic teams aren't chosen by a town meeting. Iowa has an excellant educational system, that extends down to the athletic programs. I feel a story that had such potential was wasted by an old, distorted view of the people and places of Iowa.

Summary: Super romance
Comment: In Newsome, Iowa, Oak Grove High School physical education teacher Evie Vaughn has raised three boys by herself ever since her husband Ray died six years ago. Worried about earning money to send her children to college, Evie wants to become a varsity coach to supplement her income.
Evie's hopes to become a coach takes a dive when former football star Joe Scalotta accompanied by his teenage daughter moves into town. Joe is immediately attracted to Evie, who feels the same way. However, she refuses to fall into the same trap she suffered with her deceased spouse. No way will Evie ever allow a charming handsome hunk to get inside her heart because it took six long years to overcome the damage that superficial Ray caused to Evie and their kids. Throw on top of that the angst and love between their teenage children. Still her heart keeps beating stronger whenever she is near Joe.
MOTHER OF THE YEAR is an entertaining contemporary romance that focuses on family relationships. The enjoyable story line demonstrates the resiliency of people to rebound from bad relationships. The lead couple is an intriguing duo and their four (make that five) children add to the chaos and fun of the tale. Lori Handeland has written an amusing romp with serious undertones that will provide pleasure to sub-genre fans.
