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.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . A CHANGE OF PACE (Northern Lights, #3) . . . For me the duo of Stephanie Nemeth Parker & Matthew Maddox did a good job with blending their voice with words from Freya Barker. She makes real adult romance come to life with the way she spins the story. She gives voice to various ways to fall in love. She allows for co-blending of various relationship situations. I think the single-dad makes for some of the best. Then add in a woman that is strong, determined and having lived through a lot of things all on her own.

Newt and Freddie find that they rub each other the wrong way upon their first meeting. Neither knowing who the other is. There were situations that imprinted on them for various reasons. That rubbing the wrong way comes to a head when one needs the other to move forward with making a new life, in a new town. There were some really good characters with solid relationships. We were able to see two children grow and change over the course of this story. Their changes triggers other changes in others that was not good for one, life changing, life challenging, and hope filled. Sometimes life open doors just when you need it, but it's up to you to decide to step through it.

USA Today bestselling author Freya Barker loves writing about ordinary people with extraordinary stories.

Driven to make her books about 'real' people; she creates characters who are perhaps less than perfect, each struggling to find their own slice of happy, but just as deserving of romance, thrills and chills in their lives.
