Blurb:
Iāve fallen victim to a heinous act.
An act so vile, so downright dirty, that Iām not sure as a twenty-year-old man I'll ever recover. Brace yourself, because what Iām about to tell you might have you gasping in secondhand horror.
Ready? Here it goes . . .
Iāve recently become the pawn of a meddling mom.
Yes . . . A MEDDLING MOM--who's been trying to set me up all summer.
Now, I understand itās not a crime for a mother to want her child to fall in love, but when she makes it her relentless MISSION, the heinous act should be classified as a misdemeanor at least.
Of course, my mom, the evil matriarch in the devilās leggings, made her final stab at finding a girl for me days before I went back to college.
And I hate to admit it, but she saved a doozy for last.
A titan in black skinny jeans.
A boss of nonchalance.
And a girl who would not only turn my life upside down, but do it while juggling a soccer ball, looking effortlessly gorgeous around campus, and is one hundred percent against relationships. Of any sort.
Thanks, Mom.

Prologue:
**LINCOLN**
Iāve fallen victim to a heinous act.
An act so vile, so downright dirty, that Iām not sure . . .
as a son,
as a member of society,
as a twenty-year-old man . . . I will ever recover.
Ever.
I see the concern in your eyes, your hand wandering up your chest to clutch the collar of your sensible cotton shirt, scared to find out the truth.
Brace yourself against something sturdy, because what Iām about to tell you might just knock you back on your ass in horror.
*Deep breaths, everyone*
Iāve recently become the pawn of a meddling mom.
Yup, you read that right. A MEDDLING mom.
The bane of a sonās existence.
I know what youāre wondering . . . what did she do? Make me pick up my socks during summer break?
*Eye-rolling*
*Woe is you*
*Grow up*
You grow up!
Ehhh, that was a little harsh. But before you go and put your judgy face on, you need to know the difference between a nagging mom and a meddling mom.
A nagging mom is one who storms into the living room while youāre trying to watch the series finale of Game of Thrones, complaining about the dishes in the sink you swore youād take care of once you found out who took the throne.
Nag, nag, nagāpart of the daily routine of the person who birthed you, or in this case, one of two moms who adopted me.
But a meddling mom, oh boy. Theyāre a fresh kind of hell wrapped up in high-waisted leggings and muted tunics. This isnāt some everyday mom who texts you GIFs of squirrels playing with a hula hoop. Nope, meddling moms have an agenda.
An agenda that they believe benefits their children. But it really benefits them . . . and only them.
In this case, my momās agenda: get Lincoln to fall in love.
I understand itās not a crime for a mother to want her child to fall in love, but let me tell you. When she makes it her mission when youāre home from college, it should be classified as a misdemeanor.
Thatās right, all freaking summer, my mom has made it her duty to set me up with girl after girl, all of whom sheās met in our hometown Kalamazoo, Michigan. Iād like to say Iām exaggerating that she made a list and set me up with every eligible girlāone by oneābut Iām not.
I saw the Excel spreadsheet on her computer.
Girls who were highlighted in red were a no-go.
Girls in green still had a fighting chance.
Girls in yellow? Apparently, I had lukewarm interaction with them, but they showed promise.
Why is she so desperate for me to fall head over heels?
Can you believe sheās been spending time on the Internet, researching relationship statuses of major league baseball players? Well, she has. Too much time. And she said she didnāt want me to end up forty, about to retire, with nothing to say for my life other than that I was able to throw a ball off a mound.
She also wants a girl to fawn over.
When my mothers were adopting, Mom hoped for a girl, but Mama hoped for a boy. Donāt get me wrong, my mom loves me more than anythingāhence the meddling and naggingābut she always wanted to do girly things with me, like have tea parties, get our toenails done, shit like that.
Side note: Iāve done the pedicure thing with her, and itās not that bad.
But she wants a daughter, and apparently, a daughter-in-law is the next best thing.
Which brings me back to my summer of ānot love.ā I wanted nothing to do with these girls and after my momās eighth attempt to set me upāyes, eightāI told her enough was enough. I was done.
And thankfully she listened . . . until the last Saturday before I left for school.
The evil matriarch in the devilās leggings made her final stab at finding a girl for me.
And I hate to admit it, but she saved a doozy for last.
A fucking titan in black skinny jeans.
A boss of nonchalance.
And a girl who will not only turn my life upside down, but do it while juggling a soccer ball, looking effortlessly gorgeous, and is one hundred percent against relationships. Of any sort.
Thanks, Mom.
*Thumbs up*
Your meddling has made me absolutely miserable.

UNITED INDIE BOOK BLOG REVIEW
REVIEWER: AMY
RATING: 5 STARS
Meghan never disappoints with her baseball guys!! I swear these books just keep getting better and better!! In this one, I'm not sure who I loved more Lincoln or his moms.. I mean his moms were a riot and brought so much to this book! Lincoln, I fell for instantly. You can't help but love him in this book. Indie, on the other hand, was a different story. I liked her at first and while I realize she was given the bad end of the deal in this book and made lots of mistakes, she really does care for Lincoln and fits into his family perfectly. This book was a great read and I need more!!
