Boomerangers [boo-muh-rang-ers] noun, informal: an adult that moves back home to live with a parent after a period of independence.
Spencer
I love sex. I love the power, the intimacy, the euphoria it brings. Too bad I’m not having any . . . You’d think as New
Orleans’ most renowned sex therapist that I’d be swimming in single men. In a way, I am . . . except for the fact that one is in diapers and the other two are drowning in preteen hormones. As a single mother of three, my days are devoted to my clients and my kids, and my nights are spent with Fabio, my trusty vibrator. When my world begins to unravel, I have no choice but to move back home. And when my high school sweetheart comes waltzing back into my life, comedy and chaos ensue.
What can I say? I never said I could pick ’em, but you can bet your ass I know how to fix ’em.
Cooper
As soon as the ink dried on my divorce papers, I made myself a solemn vow: I was done with relationships. Moving home to take over my father’s firm was the plan, until Spencer decided to return, along with three souvenirs from the life she’s lived without me.
I’ve been in love with the girl next door for nearly all of my life; the rest was spent trying to forget her. I’d give almost anything for a second chance with her, but I have no time for distractions—especially the kind that involve diapers, bottles, and eighteen-year commitments.
The problem is, she’s already got me by the balls . . . and I’m beginning to feel the noose tightening around my heart.

Review:
"Be brave with me, Spence.”
Well, that was hella fun. One of my favorite types of tropes in books are musicians and childhood sweethearts. This is definitely the latter and from the very first page, I was taken away to a story that was funny, romantic, charming, and heartfelt. The two main characters have known each other their whole entire lives. Growing up together in diapers, going through the awkward stages of adolescence, first love, and eventually first heartbreak. This is also a second chance romance, another one of my favorites. I couldn't get enough.
"I don’t want to just fuck you anymore. I want more than this. I want you back. I want us back.”
Spencer is a sex therapist. Much like her small Louisiana hometown, I fed into the cliches of what a sex therapist does. I was charmed to see that she was a hard working independent woman, who just so happens to have three kids. Three adorable and highly entertaining children. When a scandal rocks the clinic she works at, Spencer has no choice but to move back home. It's there that she runs into her first love, and sexy as sin, Cooper. It's almost as if the two were never apart. The chemistry and love that was still there after all these years was beyond palpable.
Cooper is back home and surprised as hell to see the girl he let go so many years ago there and in the flesh. With her three little boys in tow. He'd do anything to try to win her back even if it means accepting children that aren't and we're supposed to be his. Add that onto meddling mothers and baby daddy drama (not his), and you've got yourself one hell of an entertaining read. Cooper is so damn charming and I immediately loved him. I think Spence had a way with him that really brought out what a great man he was.
"She’s like their second mother. I swear, if I could convince myself to become a vagitarian, I’d have married that bitch years ago.”
As readers, I think you'll be happy to know that Boomerangers is full of witty dialogue and scenes hot enough to melt your kindle. I have to give a huge shout out to the secondary characters such as both mothers of Spencer and Cooper; the baby, Kyle; Gina, and the twins. Somehow Heather was able to make me fall in love with all of them and love them just as much as Spence and Cooper.
Anyways, obviously you can tell I adored the story and everything about it. I'm looking forward to reading more from Ms. Orgeron. She has a way of making life not seem too serious — which is exactly what this world needs.
*I'd like to point out that I totally forgive Cooper for being a Saints fan.*
*Notable scenes: bar scene, first diaper change, realization at falling in love with children who may not biologically be yours, but loving them anyway, and the end.
*Thank you to the author for providing a copy for an honest and unbiased review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
