GET READY WHEN LOVE WALTZES IN!
To her millions of fans, ballroom champion Selena Marcil seems to have the perfect life: a great dance partner, a hit reality show, and celebrity perks. But underneath the glamorous ball gowns, Selena longs to find someone to share her life with when the stage lights dim.
Selena’s childhood sweetheart, Bret Lord, hung up his dance shoes after winning two national titles with her as a teenager, and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He never saw his former fiancée again, except on television and on the cover of men’s magazines. Ten years and three deployments later, Bret gets an offer to audition for Selena’s dance show. When the Marine Corps gives him temporary leave to appear on the series, Bret can’t refuse the quick cash that will enable him to provide financially for the widow of his buddy, even if it does mean coming face to face with his past.
When Bret shows up at her national championship, Selena is shocked. For years she searched for him to no avail. After spending time with Bret, Selena realizes despite their past romance, they have no future. He has no desire to live under a spotlight and she has no desire to leave it. Can Selena and Bret recognize when Love Waltzes In?
My Review:
What a fun Contemporary Romance that brings us into the world of Ballroom Dancing. Ballroom is more popular than ever due to shows like Dancing With the Stars, so I think this book will appeal to more readers because of that. Not to mention, you have a HOT Military man as the Hero.
I liked the history between these characters and the Second Chance type backdrop for their romance.
The Dancing and was fun and vividly described. I love Ballroom outfits and appreciate the detail Alana Albertson placed on that. This author really showed her knowledge of the craft and it drew me in as a reader.
