Called Out by Jen Doyle

Having completely trashed his reputation by sleeping with his best friend's fiancee, Jack "Ox" Oxford, now only has one way to fix it -- to ask for his (former) best friend's, Nate Hawkins, forgiveness. On the way into Nate's hometown, Jack stops to help fix a flat tire. Except that Lola Deacon McIntire (Nate's sister's sister-in-law) immediately recognizes him and is decidedly unhappy that he's in town. Too bad he's immediately attracted to her. And sort of entranced by her oldest son (you'd think her youngest three, the triplets, would be immediate plot-moppets but Doyle manages to avoid that completely).
Jack and Lola very slowly get to know each other but she has to figure out how to overcome the damage done by his parents.

Calling It by Jen Doyle

When she was younger, Dorie Donelli had a fairly large crush on baseball player Nate Hawkins. It was part of the reason she moved to his hometown. But she's over it. Well, until he shows up in her apartment. While she's in the shower. And without her glasses. So, not knowing who he is or why he's in her place, she tries to bean him with a handy baseball bat. 
Nate is back in town recovering from the fact that his (former) fiancee  is pregnant by his (former) best friend. He has three weeks before spring training and is trying to get his head on straight. It's just going to be a fling. They both know that. Except... that they both might be falling harder than they think...
A nice world-building start to the series.

Holiday House Call by Jen Doyle

Holiday House Call by Jen  DoyleSix years ago, neurosurgeon Dr. Karen Carmichael acted completely out of character and had a wild one-night stand with a man she met in a bar. She has an incredibly stressful job and is cruising down one of the back roads on a Tuesday night (the night she's allowed to cry) when she encounters that man again.
He may not remember her name, but Tuck sure remembers the encounter. When it turns out the car he pulls over for weaving is the woman he hasn't forgotten, Tuck is ecstatic to have a second chance. He's not thrilled that she's a doctor since he spent a LOT of his childhood in hospitals. He can see forever with this woman, if only she'd give them a chance.
This is the second book I've read in this series and I'm really enjoying it. The characters are somewhat undeveloped (we only get a glossing of why Karen and Tuck dislike each others professions) but the series seems to be a fast, fun, and fluffy series that works beautifully if your looking for an HEA without too much angst.
