Synopsis – Pity Please
Allie
I never planned to live in Elk Lake again, but here I am. I was going to get married, have a great family and career, and then I’d get my happily-ever-after stamped on the passport of my life.
But Brett cheated and got his mistress pregnant with quadruplets. Karma was my consolation and believe me when I tell you, I couldn’t have been more satisfied by the outcome.
Just as I was busy with my fresh start, Noah Riley walked back into my life. I’ve always worshipped my best friend’s older brother, but he never noticed me.
Until that one day …
Noah
What coach gets demoted after taking their high school basketball team all the way to third in the state? Me, that’s who.
I could have gotten any other job in Chicago, but my anger and hurt pride caused me to accept a position at my alma mater. That’s right, I’m the new basketball coach of the Elk Lake Crappies. Don’t think the irony is lost on me.
My goal is to make a splash with my new team, and then have my old school beg to hire me back. Of course, I won’t accept until there’s an appropriate amount of groveling, along with a substantial pay raise.
When I moved to Elk Lake, I never expected to run into my sister’s best friend from childhood.
Who knew Allie Rogers would make me reconsider my dream?

My Review
Pity Please by Whitney Dineen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Pity Please is book #7 in the Pity Series. It can be read as a standalone and I didn’t feel as though I was missing anything by not having read the other stories.
This is a cute story. It’s not so much a romance as it is a redemption story and one that focuses on found family. Though it was predictable in parts it was still a pleasant feel good story.
There are some heavy topics discussed like teen pregnancy, infertility and infidelity and there were times where I felt it was all a bit heavy handed but overall the topics were handled carefully.
This was my first book by this author but I would definitely read others. This book served as a nice change from the thrillers that I have been reading.
