Taking Love In Stride by Donna Fasano
Story about Andrea and she teaches PE at high school level. One of the girls, Denise is not really interested in sports, running or anything physical.
She loves to paint but she's afraid to tell her dad. Problem is he shows up at the school demanding his daughter run in the marathon because of his father...
By the time the principal has talked she is being told she must teach the dad how to run in order to get money for school equipment.
She sees him as being too busy for not only his daughter-which he knows nothing about but he's always flying somewhere for work and has no time to train.
He is putting his best foot forward to train and she puts him through lots of struggles. He has sore muscles after the work out but he's determined to keep going...
There is some conflicts along the way with other things that come to light... Like hearing how this book comes out in the end, quite a feat!
Would like to read more from this author-good attention to details and descriptions. Few characters so it's easy to keep track of them.
Note from the author is included at the end and list of other works by the author are highlighted at the end.
Free from Amazon and this is my honest opinion. ( )

As the track coach, Andrea O’Connor had the right to keep or kick off the team any student that she felt should or should not be on the team. Finding out his daughter Denise had been kicked off the team sent Ian Powers into that schools principals office with full intentions of getting his way. Learning that, maybe he had been misinformed about Denise’s true desires, he was determined to have Andrea coach him for an upcoming marathon that the family had an interest in.

*** Very cute and basic story. I really liked the head strong, know it all that Ian is, and him having to admit several times to not being absolutely right is a great bonus. Wasn’t sure if I liked the jump in with both feet before looking that was Andrea, made it more difficult to feel anything for her. It was predictable to the end, but a decent book and story all the same. ( )
