She thought she’d left the past behind. But some friendships—and feelings—don’t fade with time.
Photographer Lexi Morales never planned to come back to Wishful. But when her mother’s injury brings her home, she’s thrust right back into the orbit of the boy she never quite got over—her best friend, Zach Warren. Only he’s not a boy anymore. And the feelings she thought were long buried are stirring to life all over again.
Zach doesn’t understand why Lexi pulled away all those years ago, but now that she’s back, he’s determined not to waste the second chance fate’s handed him. Offering her a job as his second shooter is the perfect excuse to keep her close—and maybe, finally, get some answers.
As they work side by side capturing the magic of other people’s love stories, their own keeps slipping through the cracks. Between unresolved history, old heartaches, and a high school reunion neither of them really wants to attend, it’s going to take more than just great lighting to find their way forward.
Heartwarming, romantic, and full of small-town charm, Dancing Away With My Heart is a sweet, second-chance friends-to-lovers romance about missed opportunities, unexpected hope, and the courage to dance into something new.
Klantrecensies
Sweet novella about a small southern town romance.
Kait Nolan, ‘Dancing Away with my Heart’.
As a Booksprout ARC reader I received this book for free. And promised an honest review. Here it is. English isn’t my first language. Sorry for errors.
Main characters:
- Lexi Morales.
Born and raised in the Deep South of the US. Left her small town, Wishful, (where many of Kait Nolan’s book are situated) to build an own photography business in Austin.
- Zach Warren.
Lexi’s best friend since they were kids. He didn’t understand she had a crush on him at the end of their high school period.
Lexi left Wishful after her graduation from high school. She realised that Zach didn’t react on her small signals that she wanted more than friendship. But during her years in Austin Zach tried to maintain contact with her by Internet. Lexi enjoyed the online messages but, once being hurt, kept her distance.
The story starts when Lexi’s mom breaks her ankle and she returns home to help her. So Lexi meets Zach again. He too owns a photo studio and has a growing clientele. He asks Lexi to help him on a big photo shoot. Lexi loves her job and agrees to do so.
So the author, Kait Nolan, describes how the former best friends become lovers. Not a very original story, but told with charm and love for the small southern town and its inhabitants. The book is a novella, so I missed many of the nice characters figuring in Kait’s other ‘Wishful books’. But also this shorter story was again - for me - a pleasure to read.
