The Setup and The Substitute by Jiffy Kate

5.0

I have been needing some new Jiffy Kate in my life and this didn't disappoint!

Owen - the single dad trying to juggle his baseball career and being a solo parent to Molly & Ryan. His ex abandoned him and the children and his trust issues are plenty! Also they are going through nannies like crazy and it's causing him stress and affecting his game. Sophie - Molly's substitute teacher turned temporary nanny for Molly & Ryan. Her family has money but she wants to make her own way in the world. She hasn't yet found that love she's looking for.

The road to romance was bumpy, but I'm not a huge instalove fan so I enjoy when they have to work for it. Their communication was sometimes lacking. Owen's ex was a mile high hurdle. But the pull was two much for either of them to deny. I enjoyed seeing them navigate their way to each other.

Molly stole the show for me and I adored her, and Ryan was adorable too. Owen's mom was a fun addition. Greer was fabulous! Gavin was UGH! And the appearances by all the other characters we already love was just the icing on the cake for me.
