When Geo signs up for Family Camp, he envisions nature hikes, s’mores, and a chance to win over his recalcitrant new foster kids, Jayden and Lucy. He’s tried to become a dad for so long, and he hopes the three of them can be the family he’s always wanted. What he doesn’t anticipate is the prickly and gorgeous camp counselor who constantly comes to his rescue.
Travis spends a week every year at Camp Evermore, the camp his adoptive parents own. As a pro baseball player, his presence guarantees a full campground and excited campers. He has one rule: Never, ever mess around with anyone at camp. His profession demands he stay in the closet. But one sweet and funny new dad is about to test all his resolve.
Sparks fly for Geo and Travis, and not because of the nightly campfire. Having been a foster kid himself, Travis is drawn to Geo’s sincerity and big heart and to his kids. The four of them just fit. But will this be a summer romance? Or can they find a way to be a family long after Family Camp is over?

I read this book a few months ago and loved it. When I had the opportunity to listen to it, I jumped at the chance. The vocal performance only enhanced my enjoyment of this story! Here is my review of the ebook from April 2019.
So my experience with this author is 2 holiday stories and high school shooting book. Needless to say, I don’t have a lot to compare against this story, but I absolutely loved this book. I read it in about 5 hours…I just didn’t want to put it down once I started reading and I’m feeling a bit gushy about it.
At the beginning I was worried about the miscommunication getting in the way, but it was resolved relatively quickly so the characters were able to move past the issue. The setting is perfect…being at camp allows all the characters to be silly and over the top to entertain the kids without seeming too ridiculous.
The banter between Geo and Travis is entertaining as hell. Geo’s wackiness balances Travis’ solemn. Their mutual captivation is adorable…and obvious to everyone around them. Their sexual chemistry is off the charts.
The heartbreaking moments are on kept on the lighter side and keep the book from being too angsty.
The entire Mayhew family is awesome!!
I’m interested to see where this series takes us as there aren’t any hints for the next characters but if the books stay as entertaining as this I’m in until the end!
