Starting Over by Barbie Bohrman

Starting Over

by Barbie Bohrman

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?

Short, sweet, sappy romance. I liked that her daughter was 12 in the story. Most of the time when I read books with characters who have kids, they are 5 or younger so it was a unique take. I wanted to Throat punch Vanessa for about 80% of the book. I get it-you were hurt but its been 12 years and even your own daughter is over it. But, it was still a decent read. If you like the single parent trope, an adorkable hero with nerdy tee shirts and lots of star wars references, and a funny, overly involved family you will probably enjoy this!
