Nate from In Her Court gets his Happily Ever After! Nate Carter is living the good life. Taking a break from his engineering day job to be Camp Firefly Falls’ resident tennis instructor, he’s got nothing on his plate besides acting as best man for his sister and his BFF’s wedding, and avoiding a summer-ending injury like the one that side-lined him last year.
An unfortunate incident involving salad dressing and his tuxedo finds Nate face-to-face with struggling single-mom Ruby Hudson who’s moonlighting as a cater waiter. After their calamitous meeting, they have a far more satisfying end to their evening in the back of Ruby’s ancient station wagon.

Nate is keen for a repeat or even a relationship, but Ruby doesn’t have time for the handsome tennis player no matter how sexy his forearms are. But after convincing her to give him a shot, Nate thinks their relationship might be able to go the distance.

The end of the season is fast approaching and Nate is ready to put his heart on the line, but his assurances and their chemistry may not be enough for Ruby to upend her life. After all, in tennis love means nothing.

What I thought about Love, All

Ruby's used to juggling lots of things -- work, home, parenting, etc. and when she meets Nate while working a catering job, he's nice enough that she lets her friend put the thought in her head she could use a getting frisky with him. She really doesn't have the time for a man in her life, and the defenses she's built up over the years around her heart are significant.

Nate isn't just looking for a one-night-stand though -- her really likes Ruby and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get her to trust him and give them a chance for a real relationship.  And she really makes him work for it.  (He really tries hard too!)

But summer comes to an end, and Nate will be returning to Boston and he doesn't want to end his hard-won relationship with Ruby.  Unfortunately his approach isn't all that great and both Ruby and Nate have to figure out how they feel if there's any hope of them moving forward.

I really liked this. This took me about a day to read and it moves along quite nicely.  It works well as a standalone.  It isn't your traditional "camp" story in that the characters are adults.  Nate is a real sweetheart in Love, All and I was cheering for Ruby to see what was right in front of her nose! An enjoyable read.
