Publisher's Summary

Some people change your life.

Others change your heart.

Newly widowed dad Sebastian Dorner was unraveling at the edges - until his son’s teacher, Via DeRosa, threw him a lifeline. Now, two years later, they reconnect at Matty’s new school, and an inconvenient but unmistakable jolt of attraction crackles between them. But why does the first person to spark with Sebastian in years have to be a millennial? Is 20-something Via really too young for him, or does 40-something Sebastian just feel too damn old? 

A former foster kid, Via’s finally forged the stable life she’s always dreamed of - new job, steady income, no drama. The last thing she needs are rumors about her and a single dad at school. But why does she keep being drawn into his capable, worn-flannel orbit? And why does being around Sebastian, Matty, and even their dog, Crabby, seem to spark so much want? 

They’re trying to ignore the tension threatening their friendship. But sometimes what’ll heal you is just a touch - and a heartbeat - away....

very sweet novel

The story is very sweet the Seb is very manly. I found the guy reading the story a tad fast but otherwise he has a good voice.

Wonderful

Probably one of my most favorite books. I loved the characters and the story. Cars Bastone is quickly becoming one of my new favorite authors. I loved the characters and the storyline. I enjoyed so much that it wasn't full of silly conflicts and misunderstanding. A true love story of two people finding each other.

a beautiful slow burn

Love these layered beautiful characters. Romance at it's finest as it pulls you in fully until the very end.
Narration was wonderfully done and matched the stories characters perfectly.

Very sweet book

Was a slow burn to start but boy the ending was really worth it. A love like no other. Something different too. Well written and narrated. Have no negatives to say about it.
