Starting Over

De: Barbie Bohrman

Narrado por: Kate Rudd

Single mom Vanessa Holt has a daughter she loves, a supportive family, and her art. Having given up on finding true love - if that even exists, which she doubts - she's content to put romance on the back burner. But not everyone agrees. Those nearest and dearest are ready to see Vanessa let down her long blonde hair and have some fun.

To put their grumbling to rest, Vanessa agrees to go on a date with the next man who asks. Luckily for her, that man is Cameron Thomas, her daughter's extremely handsome science teacher. She'd felt a spark of chemistry the first time she'd laid eyes on him. Now she's ready to lay a whole lot more on the sexy bachelor.

But just as things get hot, they also get heavy. When the man who broke Vanessa's heart reappears, her old doubts and fears about love rush to the surface. Will her fresh start with Cameron be over before it's barely begun?

A new heroine PLEASE!!!

The writing on this story is really good, the narration is excellent but I wanted to stab the heroine and felt sorry for the hero. While this is supposedly a romance, the story focuses more on the relationship between the heroine and her daughter and subsequent family drama. The heroine was hard to like and I had to force myself through the last chapters of this book. The story ends right about the place where the romance would actually start. This book didn't really leave me with a feel-good feeling; more like...huh??

great story

being a single mom I feel Vanessa's story and struggle of moving on and using your child as a crush when you you don't want to face your fears! love this story!

Ok

Mixed Review
1st half - 4.5 Stars
2nd half - 1.5 Stars

I really enjoyed the first half of the story but was disappointed in the second half. The point of the first half was to start living life after hiding behind her daughter. The second half had her throwing away all her gains and hiding behind her daughter.

3 things that really bothered me.

1. If your baby daddy (or baby momma) comes back after missing the first thirteen years of your child's life and threatens to try to take her from you... It has a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding plus the child has a significant voice in where they want to live.

2. Taking child support is not giving power to the ex nor is it a bad thing as it goes to the child.

3. Parents taking time for themselves is not selfish!!

I did like the story but the "I must run so I won't be let down" moment was a frustrating way to create drama and did not fit with how well the H treated her.

A Force to be Reckoned With

Single mom who does it all, then the past collides with a possible future. A wonderful love story with the trials of life. Great characters wonderful narrator.

She is sooooo annoying!!!!

No person can be so annoying that most of the book just wanting to smak her if it is possible. Don't bother with it
