"Ballroom Blitz" by Lorelei James is an entertaining story that centers around Jon White Feather as he reaches a turning point in his life. Conscripted by his niece Raven to join a formal dance class with her, Jon is blindsided both by his ineptitude at dancing and his attraction to the sexy instructor, Maggie Buchanan. Maggie is exploring her lifelong dream to dance professionally after finding herself unemployed at the age of thirty-two. She is surprised to find herself connecting with the sexy Jon but his conflicting signals confuse her about where their relationship is heading. Jon is struggling with his creative side and his commitment to his band and the addition of a sexy woman who has her own conflicting goals only adds to his confusion about what to focus on. Both will have to evaluate their priorities in life.A light contemporary romance, this enjoyable novella gives a glimpse of the rigors of competitive dance even as it follows two stubborn artists as they get to know each other. I enjoyed the chemistry building between the two main characters but wasn't convinced that their actions reflected their apparent attraction. The secretive nature of one character's actions and lack of communication did not quite ring true and the resolution seems a bit too abrupt for my tastes but the author's trademark sizzling intimate scenes are definitely entertaining and give this quick read a nice punch.
