I received an arc from Netgalley. This book has well developed characters and a storyline that you won’t want to stop reading.
Sara and Tom have a beautiful story but not one without heartache, pain, and forgiveness. Right from the beginning of this book I was ensnared by the characters. I knew after beginning the secrets were going to produce an explosion within the story and they definitely did that.
The jealousy angle was necessary and definitely pulled at the heartstrings. The ending was kind of a cliffhanger though. I was expecting Tiff to try to come between them yet again with a story or picture. Still a great read and I enjoyed it immensely. 5 stars

Wicked Dance is wicked indeed. It's hot, it's layered and it's utterly addicting to read.

Sara is a former dance student unhappy with her job and unhappy with her life, when she meets Tom at their local coffee shop. He captures her interest from their very first meeting, but she's left with the feeling that she wasn't even a blip on his radar. Until one day he comes to her rescue and a relationship is formed.

I like that both these characters have layers, have inner demons they're trying to fight. Sometimes they drove me crazy, with the push and pull, but they were interesting for all their damage. And their chemistry? HOT! So why 4 stars and not 5? The ending was abrupt and left me unsatisfied. It left me wanting more, though, so if was intentionally abrupt to make me want more, then it was effective. If more isn't coming, then perhaps it was just bad writing. I'm hopeful more is coming, though, because Sara and Tom certainly deserve a more satisfying ending to their story.

When I started Wicked Dance, at first I thought I was reading the script of Save The Last Dance. Because there Sara also loses her mother in a car accident, while she was supposed to go to Juilliard.

But where the Sara from the movies falls in love with a guy from 'the hood', Sara Hart falls in love head over heels with the mysterious guy at the coffee shop. This turns out to be Tom, a very wealthy hot guy, who doesn't do relationships.

But when those two meet, the worlds just shifts on its axis. Both Sara and Tom are unexpectedly attracted to each other. And frankly: it just scares the hell out of them. We see through both their eyes how they struggle with this new turn in live. While both have secrets and both are damaged in the past, we see how they act like to magnets: pulling together and pushing each other away when coming too close.

It is a wonderful story, full of unexpected twists and turns. An emotional rollercoaster for both them and you (keep your tissues ready...). And while I sometimes just wanted to smack them on the head, for acting so stupid, you just fall in love with them.

A great read, four out of five stars from me. And a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.
