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....

I absolutely loved this story. The plot line, the characters, the relationships, the main environments - they all worked so symbiotically that everyone and everything flowed perfectly.
The partnership between Seb and Matty was funny, sweet and heart-warming. The number of times I smiled and even laughed out loud at their antics and the love I could feel between them, made me melt.
Vi was such a complex and familiar character to me and I felt the ups, downs and worries as she journeyed towards her new self and space.
A perfect happily ever after, without the chaos of a mad plot twist made this story one that I will be going back to for sure.

Pleasant and somewhat sweet, but very predictable. Well read, made my imagination run wild with the whole descriptive love making sessions.

Predictable, though thoughtful
