A Change Of Pace

Another great book in the Northern series. I love small town romances and single dads and this one was just how I love them. Freddy was such a strong woman after everything she went through. Loved Newt. He was such a wonderful dad. He did everything he could to help his daughter. I had so many emotions while reading this book and with a little suspense that I love in my books. 5 stars!!

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. What an emotional story, love everything about it. a Change of Pace is a page turner and will have you on the edge of your seat. The characters were amazing. Millie, it nearly broke my hear reading about what she was going through. It's as if I was apart of the book.. You will fall in love with the characters as well as the animals. If u haven't read any of Freya's books please make it this one. Can't wait to see what she has planned next.

What an incredible and emotional story about a single father struggling to help his troubled, teenage daughter. It's such a nice change of pace to read a story about a couple in their 40's who have lived and seen hard times. Where the issues in the story are about real life struggles. This story follows three main characters. Newt Tobias, a retired police officer and hottie single dad to Millie. Millie 14 year old troubled teen struggling with the death of her mother. Frederique Marchand, the town's therapist for troubled teens who has been through her own history of hard times. These three characters come together in a beautiful and sometimes heartbreaking way. I really enjoyed this mature storyline, these fantastic main characters and all the side characters that made up the small town of Cottage Country. While it did seem a lot happened to these three, it also brought us a vulnerability to the characters that you just can't help but love to see them get their happily ever after. It was beautiful and I can't wait to read more in this series.
