Review: "Mom Squad" by Kaci Lane

Congratulations to Kaci Lane on the release of "Mom Squad," book #1 of the Single Southern Mamas series. The ebook is being released as part of the My Funny Valentine box set, but the paperback is available on its own. (The ebook will also be released separately later this year.)

I completely adored this funny, sweet, and heartwarming story! Even though so much about Aniston's situation was unusual, she seemed incredibly relatable to me. I loved that she was so unapologetically herself and that Easton not only accepted her quirks, he was charmed by them. Her snarky, funny attitude made for great banter with Easton as well as with her arch nemesis, PTSO president Georgia. In addition, I really enjoyed Aniston's friendship with Morgan and Brooke, the other two single moms. I'd love for each of them to get stories of their own in the future!

I finished this book with a huge smile on my face and already can't wait for my next visit to the charmingly quirky small town of Apple Cart. I highly recommend "Mom Squad" for all sweet contemporary romance and romantic comedy fans. This may only be the second book I've read by Kaci Lane, but she's already earned a place on my auto-buy list!

About "Mom Squad"

In a matter of minutes, I gained two kids, a house, a dog . . . and a hot doctor-farmer guy for a neighbor.

I never anticipated being a single mom, but I did expect to get pregnant first. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined taking custody of my niece and nephew, let alone moving back to my hometown.

Even more surprising is the guy living on the other side of my pond who could pass as a model for an outdoors catalog. Oh, and he’s a doctor.

Too bad he met me at my worst—barely dressed and several days past a shower, still holding the half-eaten cookie cake that sent me spiraling into a sugar coma. Of course, losing one’s sister and trading in a life of traveling the country for Apple Cart County could do that to a person. It did do it for me.

With my life in so much upheaval, the last thing I need is to fall for the guy next door. But he’s making it hard to resist with handsome smiles and helping around the property. And as an instant mama to a middle schooler and second grader stuck in the town I escaped almost a decade ago, I need all the help I can get.

This sweet-heat-level small town, romantic comedy is the first in a new series set in the fictitious Apple Cart County, Alabama. Bad Moms meets Sweet Magnolias as friends navigate raising kids among busy lives and nosy neighbors.
