This book kept me engaged and I enjoyed reading a book with an entirely different setting. The faded glory of the ballroom contradicted by the love of dance compelling the younger characters to pursue their dream was a wonderful overall theme to the book.Think my difficulty in LOVING this book arises from my general dislike of several of the characters. Those characters reflected the worn out grandeur of the ballroom dancing and their personalities and lives were so faded as to be uninteresting and at points quite unattractive. I would have like a character from the prior generations of ballroom glory who had succeeded while aged but imparted joy and wisdom. I enjoyed those characters who were redeemed and thrived and perhaps just wanted a little more excitement as the book progressed. It was good to see a new novella by Lorelei James. I especially enjoyed the fact that she revisted the town of Spearfish and former characters from her previous novella. This story features Jon Whitefeather - who appeared in the novella Wicked Garden. He is now older and ready for his happily ever after. The novella introduced the younger sibling to the Buchanan's who were main characters in novellas- Wicked Garden and Babe In The Woods. This was a truly enjoyable read and I highly recommend it.
I haven't found a Lorelei James book I didn't love and this one continues to prove my point.
