There's nothing like a little serenity . . . Maddie Townsend might live in a town called Serenity, but there's been nothing calm or peaceful about her life since her marriage broke up. This stay-at-home mom has no job skills, an out-of-control sixteen-year-old son, a talkative fourteen-year-old who's suddenly gone silent, a six-year-old daughter whose heart is broken, an ex-husband whose younger girlfriend is expecting their baby and two best friends who think she's somehow qualified to help them open a fitness spa for women. But if Maddie is a tad on edge with all that on her plate, it's nothing compared to the chaos that ensues when she discovers that her son's baseball coach has feelings for her and the whole town disapproves. Maddie's faced a lot of challenges lately with strength and resolve, but Cal Maddox may turn out to be more than she can handle. Then again, he could just be the one man in all of South Carolina who can help her find serenity.

My thought
This was the first Sherryl Woods book that I read.  Its a great book about friendships, family, and finding love again.

Maddie Townsend's husband cheats on her and she finds that she has other talents beyond mom and wife. Starts a new business with friends and along the way meets her son's coach.

 Sheryl Woods is amazing at giving her characters believable emotions, thoughts and words. She quickly became one of my favorite romance authors because she writes very down to earth heartwarming stories about "real" people.i really enjoyed this book.It kept me interested, and I really loved the ending.
