Dance with Me by DeAnna CameronMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This shorter length contemporary romance is the second in the California Belly Dance series. I liked it a lot. The characters were quite believable, the history of their craft as well as the performance were equally important to both of them.
The heroine Melanie wants to join a belly-dancing troupe but is afraid to fail. The hero Taz is a drummer with the belly-dancing troupe, and one of the judges in the auditions. He offers to help Melanie in return for her help with his interfering sister. I also loved that when Melanie is caught unaware, and is convinced to dance for Taz in a non-audition setting - she absolutely nails it. His music is just as important as her dancing, just love it.
His historical Hollywood moderne house is amazing. I loved that the vintage belly dancing movies of Samial Gamal were a huge part of the story, in fact featuring strongly in their dates.
I received a complimentary copy from Reading Alley in return for an honest review. I want to read the first novella in the California Belly Dance series, and look forward to reading more in this series.
