Blurb:
Once a man who lived by the letter of the law.
Newt Tobias will do anything for his little girl. Even take early retirement, sell his city home, and move to cottage country, hoping that the simpler life will provide a better balance for his troubled teenage daughter.
Yet, not long after they’ve settled, he finds himself toe-to-toe with a stubborn, fiery tempered woman with pretty brown eyes.
Once a recluse preferring to live alone.
Working with troubled adolescents, Frederique Marchand doesn’t suffer fools and won’t put up with bullies. Especially handsome strangers like Newt who think they can run roughshod over her. She loves her work, but on her own time she much prefers the company of her menagerie of animals.
But with the welfare of a teenager at stake, she must put aside rocky first impressions and work with a man who needs her as much as she’ll come to need him.
I love single dad romances so I jumped on reviewing A Change of Pace by Freya Barker. I was pleasantly surprised that not only is it a single dad romance, it is also a romance where the leads are in their 40s. A Change of Pace is listed as third in Ms. Barker’s Northern Lights series I haven’t read the first two and was not lost in any way; as a matter of fact I didn’t realize it was part of a series. Now I’m excited to read through Ms. Barker’s back list!
New to town, Newt does not make a good first impression on Freddy. Color her surprised when she finds out Newt is the father to troubled teen Millie, Freddy and Newt put their differences aside so Millie can get the help she needs to help deal with the pain and grief of losing her mother. As Freddy and Newt are around each other more their chemistry builds to an undeniable force, Newt doesn’t want to act on it because Freddy has become important to Millie and he will do anything, including deny himself a chance at happiness for Millie.
I really enjoyed Freddy and Newt, there’s no insta-love, no major angst between the two of them, there is drama in the world surrounding them that affects their lives, but they steadily navigate the choppy waters to build a beautiful relationship, which includes Millie.
A Change of Pace is a slow burn, sexy romance, with multi-faceted characters, an engrossing story about love, healing and hope.
