Kame's Review:
Katerina “Kat” Nemecek is a champion ballroom dancer and she
owns Dance With Me a small dance studio.
A dance studio she is about to lose because of failure to make loan
payments to the bank. Mason Everett is there to tell her about the proceedings
and pledge his love to her. Kat has recently broken up with Mason because she felt
he was embarrassed of their relationship, in the year they were dating she had
yet to meet his family or any of his friends. Mason confesses it is not his
family or friends he feared but a girlfriend from high school that he suspects
to have caused harm to Mason’s past love interests; his reluctance to
publically claim Kat has been to protect her and tells Kat he was going to
propose the night they broke up. Convinced of his love Kat accepts Mason’s
proposal. The suspense filled story that
unfolds details the happenings when Mason’s fears are confirmed and the former
girlfriend becomes enraged with Mason’s engagement announcement.
This is the first of definitely three if not four books
about the Everett siblings, these books are closely related. The suspenseful conflict is not a tired
expected “old girlfriend gets even” formula; which I enjoyed immensely. There are plenty of pages dedicated to the
couple’s happy ending; for once a romance book did not tie everything up in a
bow in fewer than five pages.
I would have loved to read more about Kat and Mason falling
in love, and not just a quick description from Kat on how they met. To me when I read a romance I look forward to
reading the moment when each character realizes they love the other and that
did not happen in this book. I never
doubted they were deeply in love, but I would have liked to read more about the
challenges and emotions of keeping their relationship hidden. Maybe that would
be perfect for a prequel novella!
3.5 STARS!

Kame received this book from the author in exchange for her honest review.
~*~*~*~
Meet Kame:
Kame is part of a family of readers; one day she picked up the Nook she purchased for her husband and discovered her love of e-books. A few months later he purchased one for her so he could have his back! Kame’s Nook is never far, and she is hard pressed to pick a favorite book, genre or author. As long as there are characters that make her want to sit down and have a chat and a plot keeps the pages turning, she’ll read it.

Sometimes it can be difficult--you see that the couple's happy and in love, but, like you said, it's so much better to see how they reached that point. Great review, Kame, thanks for sharing!
