BLURB
Hanging up your dancing shoes isn't so easy when you can't let go of your former dance partner.
Welcome to Seattle, the Emerald City and home to the Single Dads of Seattle. Ten sexy, single fathers who play poker every Saturday night, have each other's backs, love their children without quarter, and hope to one day find love again.
This is Adam's story....
Single dad of Seattle Adam Eastwood knows that dance school is just the thing for his precocious daughter, Mira. She already spends most days twirling around the house in a tutu and tiara, why not pay a professional to teach her how to do it properly? Only Adam didn't account for that professional to be the Violet Benson from a very famous New York ballet company. Not only is Violet a natural beauty who floats more than she dances, but she's the kind of woman Adam's been searching for all his life.
Grieving the loss of her dance partner and boyfriend, Violet is done with performing on stage. How can she go on when the love of her life is no longer there to catch her? Deciding a change is best, she moves back home to Seattle, determined to fulfill their dream of opening up a dance school. It's not until she's asked to dance for Art in the Park that she realizes maybe she's not quite ready to hang up her dance shoes. Would it be wrong to take the stage one last time? It must be wrong to feel what she feels when she's dancing with Mira's handsome father.
Adam's wounds are still fresh from his divorce, and Violet's dealing with a loss of her own, but somehow they keep winding up in each other's arms with neither of them willing to let go. But it's never easy to conquer the past. Will Violet let fear and grief keep her from her dreams? Or will Adam convince her that the show must go on and dancing with the single dad might just be the way for her to find her happily ever after?
Note: This book can be listened to as a stand-alone. It includes lots of steamy scenes, cursing, and, of course, as with all my books, this has an HEA and no cliff-hanger or cheating. If you like single dads who take charge, this book is for you.
REVIEW
STORY ★ ★ ★ ★
NARRATION ★ ★ ★
Dancing with the Single Dad is a wonderful story. The characters both have emotional scars they are healing from and I adored this beautiful story about finding love after loss. Violet is a former dancer, now dance school instructor. She and Adam meet when he enrolls his four year old daughter, Mira in her dance class. They hit it off right away. I adored Mira. She is a boisterous, sweet and loves to dance. I love how the author writes real and relatable characters with flaws and all. Both grappling with loss in different ways, I loved the progression of their relationship as they learn to open their hearts again. The romance between them is everything I look for in my romance reads. I loved the swoony moments, sweetness, family, emotion conversations, hilarious banter and super steamy bedroom scenes. The epilogue was the best, and made for such a satisfying ending. Narration- Erin Bateman is a new to be narrator, her voice is good, however there were times when I found it became a bit monotone. I also couldn’t easily identify when her voice changed to the male speaking lines. I did enjoy her little girl voice. I’ve listened to many stories narrated by Gregory Salinas and his performance was fantastic as always. He does the protective dad role perfectly. His voice is deep, and sexy and he adapts his character so well. From emotion, to passion, to love, he does it all so well. Overall I enjoyed this addition to the series and look forward to the next one!
