Here’s a tip: never underestimate romance.

Falling in love was the furthest thing from my mind. I’m a single mother raising a strong little boy, and he is my one and only priority.

The universe felt otherwise, sending me―actually, my son’s soccer ball―hurdling toward a stunningly handsome, perfect man, who said all the right things. He made it hard to ignore how much I missed romance.

In the past, when I met a man, they ran as soon as they heard I was a widow with a child. Not this guy. No, he fell in love with my son, and in turn my son fell in love with him. But, it was hard to believe he felt the same about me. My job was to be the strong one―to protect our hearts from sweet dreams that never lasted.

~~~

Women told me I was a master of romance. They were right. I knew how to sweep a woman off her feet, to make her feel special, and good in all the right places. I wasn’t a saint. I’ve had my share of one-night stands. They served their purpose, giving me a steady diet of romance without the hassle of commitment.

Then one day at the park, a soccer ball came careening toward my head, and my life changed in an instant. I never imagined that true love would come in the form of a five-year-old little boy. And then I got to know his mother: She was strong, independent, drop-dead gorgeous, and someone I desired – I just needed to prove it to her.

She called me Mr. Romeo, and that was fine with me.

Lesson learned: Love always trumps everything.

 

Virginia’s Five Star Review:

AM Madden and Joanne Schwehm have written a sweet, romantic story that you will love!
Luca is a doll. He’s sweet and romantic and you fall in love with him. Sabrina is a single mother who wants to protect her heart as well as her son, Mikey’s. I loved watching their relationship grow. And Mikey is absolutely adorable. Luca was so good with him and it made me swoon over him even more.

I loved this story. Because it’s nice to see a guy that’s very sweet. And also because AM and Joanne write seamlessly. I have no idea who wrote what parts of the book. That’s a sign of talented writers.
Scoring Mr. Romeo is a must read. Go one click!

An ARC was provided for an honest review.

 

Stephanie’s 4 Star Review:

I was given a copy of this book by the author.

Jude de Luca is my favorite of the three Mr. Wrong male characters.  He’s serious about everything in his life – work, family, finding the right woman.  Though he’s not really looking for Mrs. Right.  That is until a soccer ball knocks him upside the head.  Literally.

Sabrina is a single mother of a five year old boy (Mikey).  She’s had a rough go of it as a single mom but is learning how to do a two person job as one.  She has her parents close by to help if need be, thankfully.  Her son, Mikey, is learning to play soccer.  Ok – so he might need some extra lessons on how to kick the ball straight instead of sideways into the stands – but it’s a game he’s quite interested in.  Said ball ends up hitting the sexiest man she’s ever seen.

As you can surmise these two have a push and pull relationship.  Jude wants all of Sabrina and she’s not willing to give it.  My heart just ached for him most of the book.  He’s just so sweet and endearing.  Sometimes you just wanted to smack her but she has good reasons as to why she’s holding back.

The writing is seamless.  These two authors write beautifully together and their “Romeo and Juliet” story has a much better ending than the Shakespeare version. HA!  Definitely add this one to your list.  I hope you love it!

Excerpt:

Luca’s POV

Only an inch separated our mouths, but the cool air that replaced her warm lips had me going back for more. Wanting to feel them again, the second time I pressed harder. She parted just enough to convey she also wanted more.

My conscience nagged, forcing me to again break the connection and end the temptation. Her breath hitched when I added more distance, as if I removed her source of oxygen.

“I better go,” I whispered. The uncertainty in her eyes killed me. “Sabrina, I don’t want to… I need to.”
