Publisher Description
I never should have danced with a stranger.
A coming-of-age romance series from six-time USA Today bestselling author Deanna Roy
Three things about me:
1. I’m not as innocent as everybody thinks. I know I’m shy and quiet, but like they say, still waters run deep.
2. I’ve been home schooled since freshman year. It was punishment, but I deserved it. My parents didn’t know what else to do.
3. I’m not the greatest dancer, but it’s the only thing I love with all my heart. Actually, there is one other thing, but it’s the biggest secret of my life. One I can’t tell anyone. Not even you.
Which brings me to a surprise bonus thing to know.
4. I met Blitz Craven, you know, the super famous reality TV dance star. His show is like The Bachelor, only he’s looking for a dance partner. He showed up at my dance studio after his big disgrace, thinking he could use the wheelchair ballerinas I teach to get back in the world’s good favor.
When he looks at me, I know what he’s thinking. (See item number one.) Everyone wants to protect me from him, their shy, innocent Livia. But when we dance, I want it, more than anything. Soon we’re sneaking into back rooms, dancing, kissing, planning dates away from the cameras and the wrath of my family.
But I’m afraid. As thrilling as my life has become, I still have a secret. And if I stay with Blitz, the world will figure it out.
Customer Reviews
4 1/2 Stars! A heartwarming story with a little bit of steam!
This is the 1st book that I have read by this author and it definitely won't be my last. It is also the 1st book I have read about dancers ... I don't really know anything about professional dancing and didn't know if I would like it, but I loved it!
Blitz is a contemporary dancer that gets kicked off his own reality TV show because of his outrageous behaviour. In order for him to get his show back, he has to play the nice guy by raising money for charities to kissing a pig. Livia is a ballerina who is very overprotected by her parents, because when she was 15 she had a baby and they made her give it up for adoption. They felt so strongly that she shamed the family, they moved and from that point on Livia and her brother were even homeschooled. Livia is only allowed to leave the house for dance and volunteering at their church. But when Livia and Blitz meet at the dance studio, the sparks fly. Livia has no idea who he is, as she is not allowed to watch TV, never mind going on a computer. The Blitz that she knows is a total gentleman ... far from the person on the TV show. They are so enamoured with one another that they steal every moment they can to be together. I highly recommend you take their journey ... you won't regret it.
There are still questions that are unanswered at the end of this book and hopefully will be answered in the next book.
I graciously received an ARC copy from the author in exchange for a honest review.
Love to Dance
Here is a story of a young lady who is allowed to take dance lessons but not allowed to be near men or date all because of a mistake she made at fifteen. This author knows how to get you emotionally involved in her stories. This one catches at your heart and makes you want to root for Livia. I guarantee you will like this book. Cannot wait for the second book.
