Blurb:
A
sweet contemporary romance reminiscent of the Parent Trap movies. Single
parents raising eleven year old daughters must try to resist the ploys their
children use to push them together as well as the growing attraction that
sparks between them.
About the Author:
Mary has
been a storyteller for as long as she can remember. She made up stories for the
other children and created the details for their “play like” or “let’s pretend”
games. Sometimes the details were so real they scared Mary.
Mary was
born in Augusta, Georgia to two eighteen-year olds. Her daddy, a young
Mississippi man, was stationed at Camp Gordon and fell in love with a young
girl selling flowers. Look for details in her blogs.
Mary
graduated from Mercer University where her mama worked in the library. Her mama
started working there when Mary’s daddy went to college to become a preacher
and a teacher. Mary taught language arts for fifteen years—perfect for her BA
in English. Her M.Ed. in Counseling served her well during her years as a
school counselor and as a teacher later.
Now she
tutors, teaches writers, and edits. Her inner English teacher loves the editing
part. Mary helped her husband photograph hundreds of weddings. Her daughter is
her cover artist now. Danielle was raised in the photography business. She
doesn’t read Mary’s books. Something about TMI.
Review:
I’m
glad the blurb mentions the Parent Trap movies. Otherwise, I would have
deducted roses because of the resemblance. A pair of eleven year-olds who are
best friends decide to try out for cheerleading. Each girl lives with a single
parent. Alex lives with her mother, Lily, and Jaycee lives with her dad, Jesse.
The girls are practically inseparable and decide their parents should marry so
they can be sisters. The problem is, Lily and Jesse are perfectly happy as they
are—or so they think.
But
the perfect match-making opportunity comes along when the girls decide to try
out for cheerleading, make the team, and the coach has to quit due to
pregnancy. The school can’t afford to hire a new coach right away, so the
parents decide to hold their own cheerleading camp. And Alex and Jesse end up organizing
it.
Cheerleader Dad is a nice, sweet
romance. Lily and Jesse feel they have to hide their budding feelings from
their kids, not realizing they’ve been set up. There’s a truly funny scene in a
movie theater when the girls ditch them on what was supposed to be a family
date. It’s almost worth buying the book just for that scene. But I recommend Cheerleader Dad as a breath of fresh
air.
