About this listen

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....

Love so much

This was one of the best romance books I’ve listened to. It was nice listening to a story about a grown ass man.

So adorably sweet!

I loved this book and the narration was perfection!!! Cara, girl, you can write a rom-com. The story line was realistic and wasn’t rushed along. I cried and laughed throughout the story.
I could have done without so many F-bombs, but the narrator did an incredible job with all of the characters. Awesome book!

a true Romance novel!

Cara Bastone is an amazing author. She pulls you into every characters thoughts and desires. I've listened to many of her books and this one is my favorite romance novel that takes you into deep secret sexual thoughts in the end. I highly recommend anything that Cara Bastone writes.

Characters

I could see the characters, especially that little dog. Just enough characters as not to confuse things. It’s always an older man with a younger women. Predictable and I guess that is what sell books.

so sweet until...

Loved this story - but there is so much detailed sex at the end, it kind of ruined the sweetness. I was wanting to read more by this author, but I really am turned off by the verbal p*rn. Are all her books like that??
