ABOUT THE BOOK : Release Date October 17, 2025

My biggest rival is the father of my child. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Sleeping with my family’s enemy wasn’t planned. Oops. Too late.

It was a one-night stand in Costa Rica, and names were the last thing we wanted to exchange. What can I say? The man was hot as sin.

Blue-sky eyes.Broad, athletic shoulders.A smile that just about did me in.

I came home with more than his cowboy hat as a souvenir.Four years later, that sweet memento calls me Mommy.

I’m a busy single mom helping to run the Dover empire. The last thing I need is a vacation fling showing up wearing the one name on the back of his baseball jersey that’s forbidden by my family. Greene.

Annoyingly arrogant.Infuriatingly irritating.A smirk on his stupidly handsome face. Just my luck when I need to break the news, he’s my son’s father.

He came to play baseball, not be a dad, so I have no intention of getting me and our son caught up in his game. But even the strongest walls have faults, and when we start spending time together, mine begin to crumble.

Is the universe giving us a second chance or are we caught up in a small-town frenzy?

Small Town Frenzy is a spicy, sports, rivals to lovers, surprise child, cowboy, small town romance where he falls first and hard. This hometown hero book is a complete stand-alone.

REVIEW: “Small Town Frenzy” is a blend of sports, romance, and the small-town life that keeps us on the edge of their seats. S.L. Scott writes an engaging story that draws you into the whirlwind of emotions experienced by its heroine, who finds herself at the intersection of love, rivalry, and motherhood.

The story is based around a one-night stand in Costa Rica that leads to a surprise child.

Cricket, a busy single mom, faces the challenges of raising her son while running the family business. The surprise twist of her son’s father, (her once hot and enigmatic fling) returning as a rival player adds tension and excitement to the storyline.

The dynamic between them is electric, filled with unresolved feelings, witty banter, and sizzling chemistry. The essence of small-town life, where everyone knows each other, and past grievances linger just beneath the surface is done really well.

Cricket’s struggle to keep her son away from the man who could disrupt their lives makes this an interesting read. The walls she built to protect her heart are tested throughout the book, leading to emotional moments that are both heartwarming and heart wrenching!

Why is Griffin back? He was doing well as a baseball player ? (Keep reading 😉) And what’s a guy to do or say when presented with a face from his past and a small reminder of what they did?!

The pacing is well balanced, with enough humor and spice that kept me reading way past my bedtime 😉 The author’s vivid descriptions transport you right into the small town and onto the baseball field, making you feel the tension and excitement of every encounter between the main characters. I loved how Cricket loved her son, he was the center of her world.

The author delivers a fulfilling and spicy romance that combines elements of sports and family drama in a small-town setting. The playful rivalry mixed with heartfelt moments makes it a delightful read. If you’re a fan of rivals-to-lovers tales, surprise children, and strong characters, this standalone novel is sure to tick all the boxes.

This is the third (and I believe) and final book in this trilogy. No need to read books 1 & 2 before this one. But I did (and loved them both) and although sad to leave this small town, I’m going to carry Griffin and Cricket around with me for a while 💜
