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.
Renee’s Four Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
A Change of Pace is a emotional read. It is about a man named Newt and his troubled teen Millie need a change. He is willing to do anything to help her out so she sells everything thing they own and moves her to a cottage in the country. He hopes and prays will help. It is not long before he is going toe to toe with Freddy. A woman who has worked with troubled teen and has been a recluse. I loved that these two are an older couple. You don’t read about many older couples, so it is nice to find a book about them on occasion. This is a story about healing and how the people around you can make all the difference in the world. You just might get healed and never realize you needed it. It is filled with angst, some suspense and a ton of love.
Foxylutely Book Reviews – “This was another winning storyline from Freya Barker and one I did not want to end.”
Mindy Lou’s Book Review – “What an incredible and emotional story about a single father struggling to help his troubled, teenage daughter.”
The Laundry Librarian – “A Change of Pace is the perfect down home, all the feels, REAL romance read. It was refreshing, heartbreaking and beautiful.”
Freya Barker inspires with her stories about ‘real’ people, perhaps less than perfect, each struggling to find their own slice of happy. She is the author of the Cedar Tree Series and the Portland, ME, novels.
Freya is the recipient of the RomCon “Reader’s Choice” Award for best first book, “Slim To None,” and is a finalist for the 2016 Kindle Book Awards for “From Dust”. She currently has two complete series and three anthologies published, and is working on two new series; La Plata County FBI—ROCK POINT, and Northern Lights. She continues to spin story after story with an endless supply of bruised and dented characters, vying for attention!
