Holland Brothers #4
Spotlight
One night—that’s all it was supposed to be. No names. No complications.
And now? He’s everywhere.
In every trending video.
In all the news headlines.
On every freaking billboard.
Turns out, he’s not just some guy. He’s Flynn Holland, Lake City’s new hotshot pitcher. The one that’s supposed to end our team’s fifty-year championship drought (the same way I’ve fantasized about him ending mine).
As if that weren’t bad enough, my daughter loves him and he’s the poster boy for my rival bookstore.
Flynn’s perfect smile is plastered all over town, selling their books, like some kind of traitorous golden boy—while he’s over here giving me his best game.
Pass. I’ve had enough heartbreak for two lifetimes.
But then he looks at me, and I forget how to breathe.
Not to mention, he’s so good with my little girl, it’s downright unfair.
He’s maddeningly gorgeous, ridiculously persistent, and dragging me straight into his spotlight.
I need him to stay away—before I do something I’ll regret.

WHO LET BABY HOLLAND GET THIS SMOOTH???? oh my GOD. i was so down bad for flynn this entire book 😂 i never would have thought that Archer would get dethroned as the best holland but i should have known better, flynn is THEEEEE holland brother.
i quite literally could not think of a better trope for flynn to have had besides falling head over heels for a single mom & her daughter, like this is hands down my new favorite single mom book. you think you love the “he takes care of her when shes sick” trope, well flynn does one better AND HELPS TAKE CARE OF HER SICK DAUGHTER 😭
this book was swoony, spicy, full of witty banter. im absolutely gutted that this series has come to a close but holy hell did olivia and flynn end it with a bang 😭
im absolutely obsessed with these three, i cant wait to do a reread with the audio and hear them come to life omg.

This was such a sweet and wholesome read.
I adored Flynn! He might be my favorite Holland brother. He fell first and so hard for Olivia. I loved how he pursued her, but he was also really respectful of her boundaries and never pushed her to say yes to going out with him. He was the perfect gentleman.
The story was super addicting which is why it took me less than two days to finish it. Similar to other books in the series, it was low on drama and there was no third act breakup as well.
The only thing stopping me from rating it higher is that I felt that the single mom aspect wasn’t as prominent in the book as I was hoping for. Olivia’s daughter Greer wasn’t in the story that much. It got better in the second half but I honestly forgot Olivia was a single mom sometimes. I felt the same way when it came to Flynn’s relationship with his absentee dad. It was a bit of a missed opportunity on the author’s part to expand on those relationships. They just felt superficial and underdeveloped. The ILYs wasn’t as big as a moment either. They both just said it and it was kind of brushed over afterwards.
But overall, this was a great conclusion to the series and I’m excited for Olivia’s sister’s book next.

BABY HOLLAND 😭😭😭😭
June 22, 2025
One night was supposed to be their beginning and end. When single mom Olivia realizes her mystery man is none other than local hotshot pitcher Flynn Holland, she realizes avoiding him won’t be so easy. But as her young daughter grows more attached to him, and she discovers there is more to him than meets the eye, her desire to run disappears.
A great ending to a fabulous series, it made me so happy to see baby Holland finally get his HEA. He is utterly adorable and a perfect partner for Olivia. I loved their teasing nature, but how ultimately, he was a completely goner for her from day one. Olivia and Greer were the sweetest mom/daughter duo and fit right into the Holland crew. And unlike other series finales that leave the reader wanting, this wrapped up the series in a way that felt completely satisfying (huge shoutout to RJ for the extended epilogue too 🙌🏻).
🎧 This is fantastic on audio narrated by Christian Fox and Samantha Summers in duet style. They brought all of the charm and wit these characters exude and it made for such a fun, easy audiobook read. I highly recommend this format.

I love baseball romances, and this one was so cute! These two met in Vegas without telling each other who they are, and then Flynn is placed with a new team as their pitcher, and his brothers happen to be coupled up with her best friends. So now they're around each other all the time and Flynn is not about to let her go. The single mom aspect of this was so cute and I really enjoyed the ending 🥹

RATING: ♾️⭐️
SPICE: 🌶️🌶️
I don't care what sport Rebecca Jenshak chooses to write, I already know I'm going to fall in love with it.
And let me just say Flynn Holland + Baseball romance PERFECTION!
✨ Baseball Romance
✨ Single Mom
✨ He Falls First
✨ Golden Retriever MMC
✨ Found Family
I knew going in that I was going to love Flynn but I underestimated exactly how much he was going to steal my heat. Cause he ran away with that thing and I never want it back. he is the swooniest, sweetest thing. I laughed, i kicked my feet. I even shed tears about how much I love Him and Olivia together.
I also love how much Flynn fell for agrees. It fits so well with how this family operates that he falls in love with her from the minute he meets her, and that's the thing about this book and this series. The found family/brotherly love aspect is SO GOOD, and I'm not going to lie, the relationship Flynn has with his older brothers, especially Knox, well it's part of the reason this is going to be one of my top reads of the year.
Plus this book felt like watching the baseball movies of the early 2000s. The underdog team, the hero that needs to find his place. I had my heart in my throat at the end and shed a couple tears just over the game and the team. It was some too well for words.
I loved this with my whole soul. End of story.
✨ 🎧 I also listened to this on audio and it was absolutely perfect. The narration and performance was absolute fantastic.

I really truly loved this series and I think having the last book in this series be Baby Holland's was the perfect ending. Flynn Holland is the perfect combination of his brothers. You find a different quality from each brother within Flynn, which shouldn't be surprising since he was raised by his brothers. But the quality that I loved most, is how he was with Olivia's daughter. Their relationship and connection warmed my heart. If I was a single mother, I would want to find someone like Flynn to be a part of my daughter's life.
Besides Flynn's relationship with Greer, I loved his relationship with Olivia. Olivia is a single mom and doesn't "date" but Flynn is ready to change her mind. The way he shows up for her and proves to her that there are still good guys out there made me swoon. Everything that Baby Holland did made me swoon. I don't think I have ever swooned so hard before. He was just so perfect in every way.
Just know that I devoured this book. I simply couldn't put it down. I swooned. I giggled like a school girl. I blushed. And I also cried. Yes, you heard that right, I did in fact cry. There is a moment in this book that really pulled at my heartstrings. Rebecca, thank you for such a beautiful ending to an amazing series. I am so sad to say good bye to the Holland brothers.
So this is your sign, If you have not read this full series, now is the time! I think you should add not only Spotlight to your TBR but this whole entire series. You can thank me later!
You should read this book if you like:
- Baseball Romance
- Single Mom
- He Falls First and Hard
- She's Older
- Bookish Heroine
- Found Family
* I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Rebecca Jenshak and Valentine PR for allowing me the pleasure to read Spotlight as an ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts, opinions and review.

I’ve been in love with these Holland brothers since Tempting the Player, and I’ve loved every one of their stories! 🥰
I was a little worried about “baby Holland,” and how I’d be able to see him as a grown man, but boy did Rebecca deliver 😮💨
Thank you to Valentine PR, Rebecca Jenshak & Must Love Audio for the ARC & ALC. All opinions are my own.
✦ tropes & stuff:
😍 instant connection
📚 single mom/book lover
⚾️ pro baseball player/golden retriever mmc
💙 he falls first
🫶🏼 family + found family
💞 dual 1st person pov
📝 mini blurb:
After the most adorable meet cute on a hotel balcony, with no names/complications, neither Flynn nor Olivia expect to see the other again, but can’t get the stranger & perfect connection off of their minds.
After crossing paths again, Flynn is determined to get Olivia to go out with him - he’s a pro athlete, and ready to work for what he wants.
As a single mom, she has her hands full & doesn’t think a 21 year old can be what she needs - this MAJOR GREEN FLAG just continues to prove her wrong.
⭐️: 5/5
🌶️: open door, several descriptive scenes
this book just had me smiling the whole time!
💭 what I loved about this one:
- Flynn’s energy 🥰 how he never gave up on Olivia, and he was just so incredibly SWOONY!
- I love that Rebecca paired him with a single mom, I think that was the perfect way to show Flynn’s maturity!
- their banter & connection 🥹
- Flynn’s relationship with Greer (Olivia’s daughter)
- cameos from the Wildcats series
🙃 what didn’t quite work for me:
- A few things related to her child, that just didn’t make sense to me for a 6-year old… but these may be changed in the final version, and don’t affect my rating
🎧 edited 6/7/2025 to add audio thoughts:
When I saw Spotlight available on audio, I jumped at the change to re-read this one 🥰
Narrated in duet by Christian Fox & Samantha Summers, both brought the characters to life in the best way 😍 I loved getting this story again & being able to hear their banter.
I’ve only listened to book 1 & 4 in this series, but I do know they’re all done in duet, and have cast amazing narrators! I’ve read them all on ebook, and highly recommend all of the Holland brothers’ books 🥰

Flynn Holland is the youngest in a family of professional athletes. He was raised by his four older brothers who are also his best friend’s. Family means everything to him. His other love is baseball. He’s been working his whole life for it, even though it often feels just out of reach. When he’s suddenly cut from his team, he will do anything to prove his worth to the league. He’s chasing his dreams, and working toward his goals while trying to find the right fit. Then he gets the call he’s headed to Lake City to play for the Mustangs. He’s ready to get to work, and show what he’s capable of. His new town gets more exciting when he runs into the beautiful, mystery woman he hasn’t been able to quit thinking about since their brief encounter. He wants a chance to get to know her, and is willing to do whatever it takes to win her over.
Olivia is a single mom to a five year old daughter that is her whole world. They live in Arizona where they have an amazing family and friends. Since she took over running the family bookstore she stays pretty busy. Her life is structured and about routine. She’s happily single after so many disappointments with dating. At this point she’s not sure she will ever find her person. Then she crosses paths with the gorgeous, playful stranger she enjoyed flirting with when out of town. She never thought she’d see him again, but now he’s become the golden boy of her hometown. As the star pitcher of their Major League Baseball team, everyone is hoping he will finally end their long losing streak. Flynn Holland is charming, and so sweet with her daughter. He’s persistent and determined to convince her that he’s her guy. Soon she finds herself in the spotlight with Flynn, and feeling way too much. Will she give in to the romance, and take a chance on love?
Spotlight by Rebecca Jenshak is the fourth book in the Holland Brothers series. It’s a friends to lovers, single parent, found family, he falls first, sports romance full of hilarious banter, sizzling chemistry and all the feels. I’ve loved this whole series so much, but this book was my favorite. Baby Holland is pure fire and all heart. Swoon, swoon, swoon, and swoon some more. She definitely saved the best for last. I just adored sweet Flynn, and couldn’t quit smiling! Might even be my top Rebecca Jenshak book. It was an easy 5 stars! Just loved it! <333

I couldn't wait to dive into this book after finishing Comeback, and it exceeded my expectations! I loved every bit of it. The connection between Flynn and Olivia is so heartwarming; their conversations are fluid and effortless. Flynn is such a sweet guy, and I loved how comfortable he made Olivia feel. And let’s not forget the adorable bond he forms with Olivia’s daughter, Greer! There were so many swoon-worthy moments throughout the story, and I cherished each one.
Olivia is a wonderful single mom—sweet, kind, and incredibly hardworking. She loves her daughter fiercely, and after some pretty rough dates, she decides to focus solely on Greer and not seek out any romantic relationships. That all changes when Flynn steps into her life. When he asks her out, she’s hesitant at first and keeps turning him down. But Flynn is persistent, and slowly but surely, Olivia starts to let her guard down.
Flynn is the youngest of the Holland brothers. He's charming and a talented pitcher, though he’s still trying to find his footing in the professional world. Right from the start, there’s undeniable chemistry between him and Olivia. He genuinely enjoys spending time with her, and I adored his determination to win her heart. He’s not overly pushy but also doesn’t give up easily. It’s so heartwarming to see him prove that she can trust him and help her open up. Also, his moments with Greer are just the sweetest! She’s such a lovable little girl, and their interactions melted my heart every time.
I also loved seeing familiar characters from the previous books. The text exchanges between the siblings were hilarious and added such a fun dynamic! The love and support they have for each other warmed my heart, and some moments tugged at my heartstrings and brought tears to my eyes. Overall, this is a fantastic way to wrap up the series! If you’re looking for sports romance with amazing characters and a strong found-family vibe, definitely check this series out!

4 stars⭐️: I typically like sports romance ..and this was a good one. Flynn was a perfect book boyfriend and Olivia was a great single mom. This whole series has been fun and clever😀.
May 15, 2025
Well I think I might have found my favorite brother of the whole series. So good!
We’ve got:
✨ A one-night stand turned surprise reappearance 👀
✨ A charming, swoon-worthy baseball player (Flynn = instant book boyfriend status)
✨ A fierce, funny single mom who doesn’t take any crap
✨ An adorable kid who steals the scene every time
✨ And the kind of slow-burn emotional payoff that hits just right
Their chemistry? Off the charts. The tension? SO well done. The way Flynn is with her daughter?? Straight-up melted me. And don’t even get me started on that bonus epilogue… it was the cherry on top of an already perfect sundae. 🥹
This one felt fun, real, and completely addictive. I devoured this in one sitting and now I’m just sitting here, smiling at the ceiling like a lovesick little girl. If you love sports romance with heart, humor, and just the right amount of spice, do not sleep on this one!

Spotlight! 🌸
This is my first book by Rebecca & I had a blast reading about Baby Holland. As you see, I have Playbook & Comeback copies that I need to read asap.
Flynn is the youngest brother, but just as ambitious as them. He is determined to become a major pitcher and become a legend. One night in NY leads him to meet Olivia in an unconventional but swoony way. They end up talking all night, but a misunderstanding leads Olivia to ward her heart.
Back home, Olivia, single mom and book store owner, is trying her best to run the store and give Greer, the best present life she can as a parent. Life brings them back together when Flynn ends up being the pitcher for the Mavericks, Olivia’s hometown baseball team.
Olivia is set on not dating, while Flynn is set on making Olivia his. 🪴
What to expect:
⚾️ Sports romance
⚾️ Single mom
⚾️ He falls first & HARD
⚾️ Golden retriever
⚾️ Found Family
⚾️ Disability Rep mentions
Thank you SO much to Rebecca Jenshak & Valentine PR for the ARC.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
I’m honestly so sad to see this series come to an end. Getting to know each of the Holland brothers has been such a ride, and Spotlight was a beautiful way to close it out.
I’ve loved Olivia since the earlier books. She’s a strong, independent single mom who puts her daughter first and still dares to dream of something more for herself. Watching her finally let her guard down and fall for someone who truly sees her was everything.
Flynn, the youngest Holland brother and a talented pitcher, completely won me over. In past books, he came off a little immature compared to his older brothers, but this story gave him the space to grow. He stepped up in every way and proved he’s not just ready for love, he’s ready for real responsibility. His tenderness with Olivia and her daughter Greer melted me.
Their romance was sweet, steady, and full of heart. It never felt rushed or forced, just two people slowly building something beautiful together.
If you’ve been following this series, Spotlight is the perfect conclusion. A sweet, swoony love story that leaves you with a full heart.

Sooooo I absolutely LOVED this .
I loved everything about this book . Flynn was the PERFECT hero even tho he was still young , he was mature ,thoughtful and completely obsessed with Olivia . From the moment they met he knew she was IT for him .
Him pinning over her , trying so hard to win her 😩😩😩 just excellent .
And I loved how he always included Greer , their bond was too cute😭🥺.
I loved Olivia she was a fantastic heroine and an amazing mom :) . The thing I loved most about her is that she COMMUNICATES👏🏽 she always tells Flynn exactly how’s she feeling .
I loved the side characters too , I loved them all . I wasn’t bored for a second!
And surprisingly I was interested in the sports aspect of the book?😭( which I don’t care about most of the time I just skim read) like I actually wanted to know what’s going to happen , are they gonna win? Lose? Will his teammates accept him? As I said I was INTERESTED.
Again I just loved this book , I found myself tearing up at the end.
This is definitely my favorite book by this author.

Spotlight is the last book in the Holland Brothers series! This whole series was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend if you love sports romances with amazing banter! This is a baseball romance with a single mom, flirty banter, and found family vibes.
“I know I’ve only known you for a few minutes, but you aren’t the kind of woman a guy forgets so easily.”
Baby Holland’s book did not disappoint, the youngest of the Holland Brothers finally gets his book and it was so perfect! Olivia and Flynn first meet in New York. She’s there with her author sister, he’s in town for baseball tryouts. They have an amazing night, talking all night and fall asleep on the couch together. The next morning he’s whisked away for an impromptu meeting with his agent (Everly from Forever Wild) and when he returns back to the room, she’s gone and they never even exchanged names! Neither expects to see the other again, even though their connection was so strong, so imagine their surprise when they run into each other again in Arizona at his brother’s engagement party! He’s there to be the new pitcher for the Mustangs (the local baseball team), she’s best friends with his sister-in-law-to-be (Sabrina from Comeback). It was such a sweet, swoony, and perfect read!
I loved seeing Olivia and Flynn together! Also seeing both of them with her daughter Greer was the cutest. Olivia has the best support around her (her sister Ruby, her grandparents, her friends) and I loved seeing Flynn join that circle as well. The baseball time in the book was so fun and I loved seeing her work at her family’s bookstore too (the best of both worlds). Being the last book in the series was so fun and sentimental because we get to see so many characters from previous books! I loved everything in this one: Flynn’s flirty banter, the lunch notes her grandfather writes every days for her grandmother, Greer’s cute excitement, Greer signing with Archer, the no hitter game, his relationship with Earl and the team, her being gifted a book (I def shed some tears), Desert Queen, him bringing food and meds when Greer gets sick, the family and friend group, him reading her sister’s romance books, Greer’s coloring, all the plants, him showing up at Greer’s school, their support for one another.
I loved this addition to the series! Every book in the Holland Brothers series has been five stars for me, and no surprise that Olivia & Flynn’s book was too! I received an ARC, all thoughts in this review are my own.

After the Great Big Beautiful Life I needed an easy romance read and this was just it! I truly loved Flynn’s character so much and the relationship dynamics were so swoon worthy.

I have devoured every book in this series. I felt like this was the perfect ending to the series. I have been looking forward to Flynn’s book for what feels like forever 🤭. Rebecca, of course, didn't disappoint. She writes some of the best book boyfriends! The epilogue was the perfect bow finishing off the series. I definitely recommend this book and this whole series to all my sports romance loving friends. You get a good variety; motocross, gymnastics, football, and baseball! 🫶🫶

i’m sick and tired of three star romances…
the first half of this was cute but i did not enjoy the rest of the book. don’t be surprised if i change this rating to a 2 later in the year. i just get so annoyed when couples get together but have no real connection. where was the chemistry?? where were the interesting conversations??? where was anything???
also you can just call a car a car… vehicle doesn’t have to be used ever !

Flynn is the youngest of the Holland brothers, but he is just as ambitious as the others, and he is determined to find his place as a pitcher in the majors. Olivia runs her family's bookstore and is a single mom to Greer, and absolutely adorable six year old. Chance brings them together one night in New York and fate brings them together again when Flynn joins the Mavericks, the baseball team in Olivia's home town.
You wouldn't think this hotshot young baseball player and single mom would be the perfect match for each other, but you'd be soooo wrong. I loved their banter, their fun adventures with Greer, and their unending support for each other. Flynn's flirtatiousness, unmatched charm, and adoration of Olivia and Greer was beyond swoon worthy. Olivia running the bookstore was such a great addition to the story. Its fun as a reader to read about characters that love books and reading as much as you do. Her sister being an author and writing a sport romance, with Flynn proofing the sports aspects for her, was just icing on the cake. I was both not wanting this book to be over, but also wanting to finish and read their HEA. Flynn and Olivia have earned their spot as one of my all time favorite couples.
I love this series so much. With each new book, I have a new favorite Holland brother, but Flynn takes the spot as my number one Holland. I was so excited for his story and Rebecca wrote him the most amazing and beautiful story with Olivia and adorable little Greer. The epilogue and bonus epilogue had me melting and crying tears of joy for this lovable group of brother's and their partners. I'm sad this series has come to an end, but I loved and enjoyed every single second of it from book one. 10000/10 I can't recommend this series or this book enough. Rebecca, you outdid yourself with the end of this series.

3.5/5
The last brother of the series! Now I have to go back and read the first two. After loving Comeback with Archer’s story, I was excited to get Flynn and Olivia’s story. I will say I didn’t love this one as much as Archer’s book, but still a good story overall. This author has such an ease to her writing, it’s almost relaxing.
Olivia is a young single mom, bookstore owner and part time bartender. Flynn is a hotshot baseball pitcher who’s not having a great year. When the two meet by chance on a trip, they spend a memorable (G rated) night together without ever trading names or personal details. When Olivia disappears the next morning, Flynn thinks he’s lost his dream girl. But when Flynn pops up in a small town to play for the worst team in the league, he runs into Olivia. Although he’s only planning on staying for one season and redeem himself back to the top teams, he doesn’t want his relationship with Olivia and her daughter to be temporary. Is baseball or love more important? Will he follow his career or his heart?

5+++ stars ⭐️
this story was powerful and healing indeed. I had high expectations of this book cause Holland was one of the side characters which intrigued me so much so I was patiently waiting for this book and I am so so happy that it delivered!
when it comes to single parent romances, a part of me always falls in love with the kid and it was no different here. Greer was such a cute adorable kid and I loved her so much. Her relationship with Flynn was so pure and the way he helped her and stopped people from bullying her just made me go aww while reading.
Olivia and Flynn were no less either. Their romance was written so well, I loved the pining, the way Flynn always was there for Olivia and what not. The connection between those two was so strong.
Overall, I devoured this book. I can’t find one single thing which I disliked about this book, oh wait, I wish this was more longer because I need more of them now😭
This was no doubt my favourite book in the series and one of the best sport romances ive ever read.

5 ⭐️ | 2 🌶️ | 4.5 🎧
What to Expect:
- Pro Baseball Romance
- Single Mom
- Bookish Heroine (her family owns a bookstore)
- Black Cat vibes x Golden Retriever
- He Falls First
- She's Older
- Slow Burn
- Found Family
I adore this series and these amazing characters. I loved every second of Flynn's story. Baby Holland has stolen my heart, and dare I say, he has taken the top spot. Flynn and Olivia were everything! Their journey to love made my heart so happy. From the moment they met, I was giddy and couldn't wait to see how things played out. Olivia was trying to protect her heart, but Flynn slowly broke down her walls with kindness, patience, and persistence. I loved the development of their relationship. Flynn was so down bad for Olivia, and their connection felt so real and special. Flynn was exactly what Olivia needed, and I loved witnessing her realize she deserved the type of unconditional love Flynn gave her.
Flynn and Greer, Olivia's daughter, had such a sweet bond. I loved the way he showed up for her and how they connected over ASL and baseball. Greer saying she wanted to be a professional baseball player or a princess when she grows up was the cutest thing ever. Another memorable relationship was between Flynn and Earl. I loved that Earl, Olivia’s grandfather, became somewhat of a father figure to him. As always, I loved having all of the Holland brothers together. They always bring the fun with their text messages and banter, and the heart with the way they support each other.
I am sad this series has come to an end, but seeing all the couples and kids happy made my heart so full. Spotlight had everything I love: a sweet romance, hilarious banter, lovable characters, and an amazing found family element. I smiled, laughed, and even shed a few tears. Fantastic way to wrap up the series. Highly recommended.
Narration: [listened to audiobook May 23-May 34]
Samantha Summers and Christian Fox perform this audiobook in duet. I really enjoyed their performances and felt they provided the perfect voices for Olivia and Flynn. This series is one of my favorites, so being able to re-read this book via audiobook was a treat. I loved having baby Holland in my ears. This was a fun listening experience, and I fell even more in love with Olivia and Flynn as a couple. Samantha and Christian gave the characters the perfect personalities and really brought them to life. I especially enjoyed Samantha as Greer and Christian as the rest of the Holland brothers.
Thanks to Rebecca Jenshak, Lyric Audiobooks, and Must Love Audio for the review opportunity. Opinions expressed are my own.

Perhaps my new favorite Rebecca Jenshak book?! 💖
I always love me a single mom romance so when I found out Rebecca was writing one, I was SO EXCITED! And it also ended up exceeding all my expectations 🤩
Flynn was truly a green flag from the get-go! He was so gone for Olivia and never even entertained the idea of anyone else since the moment they met, and I just loved how truly smitten he was with her. Better yet, he was sooo good with her daughter too! The little things he did to make sure both Olivia and Greer would like him had my entire heart. He was so patient and understanding and only ever wanted to see them any chance he got, it was the sweetest thing ever 😭 I thought this book perfectly balanced the romance and the integration of the child with both the parent and love interest — the Flynn & Greer moments got to me just as much, if not more, than the Flynn & Olivia moments did 🥹
I cannot express how good of a time I had reading this — I was literally smiling and kicking my feet! This book also made me a little emotional because it’s the last book in the series, and I just love the found family in it so much 🥲 It’s really such a special series that got better with each book, and I couldn’t have thought of a more perfect way to close it out. I will hold these characters dear to me always 🫶
Thank you so much to Rebecca Jenshak & her team for an ARC of this book! 💌

“Don’t let it go to your head, Hotshot.”
Spotlight is Flynn (Baby Holland) and Olivia’s love story, but it’s also the conclusion (as far as we know) to the Holland Brothers series. Flynn and Olivia were so freaking sweet together. She kept him on his toes and he gave her all the sweetness and affection she truly deserved. Olivia is a single mom and Flynn’s connection and ease with her daughter, Greer, was so sweet to read. I think we can safely say he fell first, but she stayed cautious and I loved how Olivia placed Greer first and while she did that until the end it was emotional reading her open up to love especially with someone who also cared about her daughter so much. I always say that certain characters were written as if they were meant to be and I know people probably roll their eyes, like “well duh they were written that way,” but it takes a special talent to be able to write two characters who truly truly feel meant to be. Jenshak did that with these two.
Flynn is a baseball player and I love how his career sort of brought him closer with his own family by proximity of the team he was on and brought him into the fold of Olivia’s family because they enjoy baseball together. And to Flynn’s family, sigh. The Holland brothers. Will I miss this crew, absolutely but this is the second Holland brother to close out a series and I think that this was the perfect happy ending to each and every single love story we’ve read. It’s like Flynn truly was the culmination of all the beautiful things that made the Holland brothers great brothers and great partners. Are these real people? No, but it truly feels like Hendrick, Knox, Brogan, and Archer raised Flynn into the perfect book hero!

4.5 ✨ ✨ single mom
✨ he falls first and harder
✨ baseball romance
Flynn and Olivia are almost here, releases on May 15th and the last book in the Holland brothers series. Following a band of 5 brothers and the girls who bring them to their knees. Single mom Olivia has no time for a smooth talker who left her in a hotel in New York months ago, only she didn’t expect him to be here in Lake City. The brother of her best friends fiancé. And Flynn can’t believe the girl he can’t forget is here in front of me, wanting nothing to do with him. He has one year to prove himself before moving on but when Olivia and Greer worm their way under his skin, is the game worth losing them?
Flynn was such a way to end this series. Their romance was so much fun. Loaded with lots of banter, a man who isn’t afraid to yearn and chase the girl, a bad ass single mom who puts her kid first but also needs to learn to live for her. I love the moments between them with the perfect dash of sweet and swoony, funny, and also spicy and hot. I love seeing Flynn and Greers relationship and how beautifully she was woven in this book but keeping the moments also between Olivia and Flynn.
I’m so sad to see this series end. Every single brother in this story has been my favorite from Hendricks and Jane in Tempting the Player, all the way to the youngest Holland brother it has been such a fun world to be apart of and ending it here is such a wonderful time seeing where everyone ends up.
