I'm not even sure where to start with this book. I'd previously read Dance For Me, which was great. I really loved that one and all the characters that came along with it. When I heard that this one was out, I grabbed it and devoured it.Karen was a great heroine. She was timid and shy, yes, but she was lovable and wonderful. She had her fair share of inner demons, and while I wish they were focused on a little more, they were very real and well done.Conner was drop dead sexy and sweet. Who wouldn't swoon after a hunky Irishman!? Once you see past his walls, you find the sweet gentleman that Karen falls for. He's got some tough struggles and they're completely believable. Similar to Karen, I wish we'd gotten to see more of his past and understand a little more about his life in Ireland. Instead, it's mostly glossed over, other than the debacle with Ruth.One thing that I really enjoyed about their romance was the fact that it wasn't cliched. It wasn't one of those kiss early on, flirt around, get mad, get together, tear apart, get back together kinda books. I don't want to ruin it, but their relationship develops very quietly and then springs itself on them. It seems to take them aback just as much as it does the reader. Once they're together, things are lovely and, while they do have their fair share of struggles once they're together, they work through them.Having Natasha, Darrell, Clarissa, Neil, and Jasmine in this book so heavily was also a treat. It wasn't just a glimpse into their "perfect happily ever after"s, but rather we actually see them struggle with their relationships.The book was well-written and a treat to read. I was actually disappointed when it was over (which was far too soon, thanks to staying up till the wee hours to finish it). I look forward to the next Fenbrook Academy novel!
