For a short story, this had all the elements needed to make me connect with the characters. Not to mention make me cry.
This is about a young couple that grew up in a small college community in North Carolina. They were into two totally different things in life but still spoke the same language of the heart. Nathan was into all things swimming. But plans on going to Duke for business and finance.
Where Cara, was totally into botany, the stars, and the theory of relativity. She had planned to be a doctor. But there were things beyond her control that changed the course of her life forever. Would she have the main reason any other way, not at all? But the death of a family of course.
But Cara is a strong, hardworking, loving aunt, who would do anything for her niece, Brooke. She is smart as a whip. Wants to be a doctor when she grows up. For now, however, she’ll settle for being one of the fastest swimmers on the team.
When Cara applied a year ago for a landscaping job at the mansion that used to be hers and Nathan’s secret place. Because it was so run down. They made it their dream home for the future. Anyway, now it came down to her and two other bids. So, today she had to explain why her plan was the best.
Upon arriving and the new interior and colors that would help with the floral colors to use are helpful. She never sees the man standing in the corner of the room as they enter. She is shocked speechless. When she is introduced to him and his girlfriend she is further caught off guard.
Especially, when he is angered by her presence. Since he is the one that left her all those years ago because she chose to stay in this nowheresville town he was never coming back. Now here he is standing looking angry at her after all she had to change to make everything work? And not six months after he leaves her mom dies from MS and no call nothing. Really?
This is one emotionally charged little book. The ending and how quickly they got back together was odd but for a short love story, it was perfect. I do wish there was an epilogue though.
I give this: 5 stars. Provided by netgalley.com.

Cara is a 31 year old college student and has no interest in finding a man. I can relate to her but her story still did not catch my interest .

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Starting Over is indeed a sweet romance. I enjoyed the plot, characters and the author’s writing. I highly recommend this book. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my digital arc. This is my unbiased review.

A sweet second chance at love romance.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author. All opinions are my own.

A hidden pregnancy, the death of her sister and brotherinlaw who pretended to be the parents. It has been eleven years and he is back. Will he figure out the secret? Cara has been awarded the contract designing the gardens of his recently purchased home. Can she work for Nathan and his fiancé, and keep her secret?

“Starting Over” started out so well. I loved the main character, Cara. I wanted to walk more of her journey- present and past. The last 3/4 of the book felt abrupt and rushed. I was left disappointed and wanting more.
