This is a lovely story about two strong-willed people who come close to shooting their relationship in the foot so many times, I wasn't sure they were ever going to figure things out.Penelope is a dancer who's teaching a kiddie class to earn a little extra money, and Carson is a widower who's daughter Eloise is in the class. One of the best things about the book is the way the author unveils each character's history. Penelope's not just a kiddie-class teacher, she's a professional dancer who made her living on the stage for years. Carson's home may be a shrine to his late wife, but maybe their relationship had a shadow side. I got to know the characters as they got to know each other, and it was just a joy to see how they finally worked things out.The author's voice was sophisticated, a good match for the characters she created, and the naughty bits were delightful. I especially liked the respect both main characters showed for Eloise, and how their relationship would impact her. It added a realistic feel to the piece. Altogether I can recommend this book to readers who enjoy charming contemporary romance.The author provided me with an ARC in return for an honest review.
