A dancer and non-dancer must team up to ace their course. A steamy fake relationship and lots of ballroom dancing. Love both main characters. They both have things to work through but they are so sweet together. Lots of chemistry and sizzle. A fun book!

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

This story was a pleasant surprise! While it was your typical fake relationship that turns real, that was real such a minor plot point compared to the heart of the story.

The MC is a 21 year old dancer who’s been diagnosed with Lupus and arthritis. She struggles the entire book with the changes to her life the illness brings about, and it’s a really poignant narrative on living with chronic health issues. I absolutely ADORED Cami’s story, and as a dancer I can’t imagine the denial and shock Cami dealt with in knowing her whole livelihood may have to change or be given up.

The other MC, Marsh, is a frat bro, struggling with the guilt and aftermath of a being involved in a fatal accident. Throughout the story, Marsh learns to absolve his own guilt and to move on with his life.

This book presented a really unique and sweet story! Both MCs go through incredible growth as the trajectories of their lives are changed and as they fall in love with one another. As I said before, the book was a total surprise to me and I loved it!

I was given an ARC by NetGalley and XPresso Book Tours. All opinions are my own.
