Starting Over
Life is what happens when your irritating ex shows up to wreck your plans.
Danny Thresher left his cheating boyfriend in New York City days before the Covid lockdown froze the country in place. He never looked back. Nothing was more important than protecting Gran and Uncle Hershel during the pandemic, so when his office demanded his return from teleworking, Danny became a charter member of the Great Resignation instead. He rebooted the family farm for cottage food production, with astonishing success. Someone to love would complete the new and improved Danny, and sexy math professor, Nick Wise, checks all the right boxes.
He didn’t count on his ex’s appearance in rural West Virginia two years after Paul’s affair ended their relationship, though.
The path forward is clear. Nick is who Danny wants. This life, surrounded by family and old friends, is everything he’s ever needed.
Pity years of introspective pandemic isolation weren’t enough to fully unpack and process insecurities from the old Danny that linger still.
Warning: Post-Covid setting & themes. Masks. Social distancing. Grocery orders substitutions and eating outdoors in February. Personal sacrifice for the safety of high-risk loved ones…In short, heroes.
If you too swapped your cape for compassion and N95s for vulnerable loved ones, I salute you!

Family first! Danny, left NYC and his cheating boyfriend, Paul just ahead of the CovID lockdown to protect his family Gran and Uncle Hershel. He resisted the 'return to work' order and rebooted the family farm at the best time. The change of pace and new environment allows Danny to grow. He is ready when he meets Nick a local Professor. A few years later, Paul unexpectedly shows up. Do Nick and Danny have a good foundation? Is Paul for real? Paul serves as an unexpected catalyst. Good story, nice extra kick. Nicely done!

Brave New World
This is the first book by Kari Gregg I have seen in a while and I have missed her stories. While this is definitely a different path than I have seen before, it is a wonderful read.
THANK YOU and I am glad for the opportunity to read more of your work no matter what direction it takes. As we have seen with COVID, things change. It's not a bad change, just a different journey.

Takes An Interesting Turn
This one starts out as a very sedate story. When it's gets about halfway through though, it takes an interesting turn to finish out the story. It's still a good read.
I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

Starting Over is a standalone story by Kari Gregg. It was a cool read. It was kind of nice reading a story that is relatable. Loved it.
