Ballroom to Bride and Groom by Kate Hardy

Synopsis:

TV presenter Polly Anna Adams has spent a lifetime living up to her name. Suddenly single, Polly hides behind her cheery facade and enters a celebrity dance competition. Her partner? None other than gorgeous but wary professional dancer Liam Flynn.Liam has learned the hard way to keep his heart on lockdown, but Polly's joie de vivre puts a spring back in his polished step. As the competition heats up, so does their unstoppable attraction. If only they could convince themselves their hot tango passion is just for the cameras….

My Review:

My mother loaned me this short romance novel and it was a very enjoyable read.   It was not a sexually explicit read although there is mention of such activity.   Both Polly Anna and Liam are well defined characters, each suffering from a world of hurt at the hands of their previous love interests and each has a lot to overcome before they can allow themselves to fall in love again.   But the human spirit is strong and getting that second chance is what we all seek when hurt.   The story definitely centers around the two of them....other characters contribute to a phone call conversation or to the judging team of Ballroom Glitz.  Polly Anna must come face to face with her biggest fear/shame in life and finds it to be a freeing experience with the help of her dance coach.   If you like clean romance stories, this is a sweet and fun read!

I rate this book 4 winks!
