“I’ve always wanted to be a mom.”

Twenty-six-year-old Gemma Cimino grew up without her own mother, but she’s learned about motherhood from her warmhearted Italian aunts and the intelligent women she’s befriended at the boutique law firm where she works.

Gemma is pouring her heart into her second novel in the hopes of becoming a published writer. Then she falls in love with Luke Reddin, a rock musician and divorced dad with primary custody of his two sons. Because of Luke, Gemma is thrown headfirst into parenthood, and it’s not what she expected.

She and Luke struggle to pursue art while raising kids and their priorities clash when they hear surprising news from Luke’s ex-wife. Gemma must decide what role she plays in Luke’s life and how much she’s willing to sacrifice to have a family.

Blurbs for Like a Mom

“A sweet and endearing love story (complete with growing pains) that will keep you turning the pages…No matter what stage of mom-ing you are at, you will love this novel.” –Donna Norman-Carbone, award-winning author of All That is Sacred and Of Lies and Honey

“Gemma is such a relatable character. I wanted to find her joy and balance, and I found the ending satisfying. Having raised kids as a stepmom myself, I loved the realistic portrayals throughout the novel.” –Lainey Cameron, award-winning author and founder of The Best of Women’s Fiction Podcast

Review for Like a Mom

Meet Gemma, the woman who always wanted children. Meet Luke, the single dad. These relatable characters explore family relationships in this touching romance. There are so many aspects to parenting, so many ways to “do it right”, so much advice, and always judgment – all shared brilliantly. It doesn’t help that Gemma is still grieving the loss of her own mother. This story, at once humorous and then showcases the not-so-funny reality, shares all the ins and outs of parenthood. It’s a don’t miss it kind of book!
