Iris Copeland has sworn off men. She has a glorious daughter, parents willing to let her come back home after her nasty divorce, and more sharp knives than she knows what to do with, thanks to her folks’ post-retirement business venture. Maybe it wasn’t quite the life she planned, but between her daughter and opening the pet shop she’s always dreamed of with her best friend, life is good.

Until Trey Callihan comes to town. Though Iris loves Roy, the old man out on Three Squirrel Ranch who is a fixture in the tiny town of Solano Creek, she’s a lot less sure about his tall, broad, handsome grandson. Why would a pro athlete be hanging out in a place like this?

The answer, certainly, is that he won’t be for long. That’s why Iris decides her best defense is a strong offense. She’ll stay far, far away from that athletic mountain of a man to avoid accidentally admitting how ridiculously charming she finds him, or how completely smitten her daughter already is with her baseball idol.

But when it looks like Trey might be staying to help his grandfather, Iris lets her guard slip. And while their relationship feels like a perfect day at the field for a while, Trey mixes things up just as she gets comfortable, and reminds her that even an easy pitch can be hard to hit…

Will Trey convince Iris to give him a chance? Or will it be a shut out?

Find out in the first book in the No Place Like Home series by USA Today bestsellers Delancey Stewart and Marika Ray. Every book is a full-length standalone happily ever after with plenty of LOLs and awws along the way!

    I'm USA Today Bestselling author Delancey Stewart. My contemporary romances run the gamut of settings and setups, but they always deliver humor, heart and heat. It’s a guarantee.

    I write from my home in Denver, CO, where I manage a household full of boys and men. Okay, only one man. The hubs. But two boys. I mean, three if you count the hubs. (You see why I do words and not numbers. I was told there’d be no math in this bio. Someone lied.)

    I grew up in California and have had more jobs than anyone on earth (personal trainer, pharmaceutical rep, copywriter, tech writer, marketing director, wine seller, elementary school teacher… I’m not kidding. The list. It goes on.) But the one I love the most is writing, in part because I get to meet people who love books and stories as much as I do! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch to say hello, and don’t forget to join my newsletter!

5.0 out of 5 stars The authors have done it again
Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2022
The authors have done it again. In a clever left turn from the Cunning Ham winery, we’re back in Solano Creek watching the Callihan family while they work through some old baggage that needs unpacking. First up is grandson Trey, who needs to figure out what he’s going to do now that his professional baseball career has come to an end. Single-mom, Iris, has some pretty deep relationship scars thank to her ex. That makes her extra wary of trusting anyone with a Y-chromosome. I thought these two were adorable together. They’re not quite enemies-to-lovers, but there’s a lot of that kind of energy around them, giving us lots of sizzle and snarky banter. They also lived that old adage about never working with children and pets, because Dahlia and Batman completely stole the show. I’m not sure what the author’s have up their sleeve for the next Callihan grandson, but I am so here for it.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing is ever too good to be true...
Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2022
Small town romance, an adorable girl named Dahlia and a dog named Batman, it can't get any better than that. This charming story had me snickering throughout. Trey and Iris are a perfect match made in heaven, but it took some time to get there. But it was so worth the wait.

Grandpa Roy was a hoot and definitely added a lot of laugh-a-minute entertainment. A delightful start to a series that I look forward to reading.

This book is so freaking adorable! Between the meddling grandpa and the adorable baseball loving daughter, it made my heart smile. Trey was a wonderful leading man who took the time to woo Iris and her daughter. I highly recommend picking up this wonderfully crafted story! I received an early copy of this story in return for my personal thoughts on this story.

Small town rom-com at its best! 

I love love loved this!  

If you are looking for something that will just make you feel all warm and fuzzy look no further!  

Head Over Cleats is the first in a new series from two of my favourite authors.  It was such a warm light hearted read, just what I was needing.  

Both Iris and Trey are at a little bit of a cross roads in their lives but the minute Trey claps his eyes on Iris it is game over!     

I absolutely loved Trey and Iris!   I can not wait to read the next book in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solano Creek Is Where I Want to Be!
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2022

For one thing, I was not the kind of woman men like Trey Callihan developed real feelings for. I wasn't shiny or young, didn't have experience jet-setting or appearing on television. I imagined myself at his side, and swallowed hard at the image. I was like a dull lump of coal next to the shiny diamond that was Trey's public persona. We did not fit.

But Iris WANTED them to fit. Trey weaved himself into her daily life though she tried to avoid him. He's friendly, warm, kind and genuine. How could she really stay away? Not to mention how wonderful he was with her daughter.

Trey came to town to figure out his retired life after baseball. What he hadn't expected was falling in love with Solano Creek. He especially didn't expect to meet and fall for the "girl next door", Iris Copeland. Seeing how his life could be now was something he couldn't ignore. Happiness started to look different than he ever thought.

I love this story. I love the dynamic between Trey and Iris. I love their chemistry. And I can't ignore the awesome grandfather, Roy, bringing his family back together!

This would have been a five-star read if they hadn’t left out the sexy scenes…. Great story, great characters, good story pacing but no real steam. It turns out, I really need the steam!

Because of an injury and while trying to decide what to do after baseball he had been called home to his Grandpa's ranch. He had always loved it there as a child. While visiting he meets a single mother and her daughter. Their story is very sweet and there are some good laughs as well.?
