An old favorite I stumbled across. Love the Stanislaski family and all the mentions of the ballet world.

it was nice. i can’t say it was exceptional but nice. not the best book of the series but totally better than the previous one.

the plot had similarities to previous book but i guess it was inevitable. so it was the same book as about fmc’s mother, natasha, but with different names?

I've really fallen for this entire series, it's more lighthearted and less repetitive than some other series by NR. This was just a cute, fun romantic read- and sometimes, that's what you need.

Considering Kate
2 Stars

Kate Kimball has returned home after years as a prima ballerina to open her own dance school. The building she purchases is in dire need of renovation and the contractor, single dad, Brody O'Connell, is everything Kate has ever wanted in a man. Now she just has to convince the reluctant Brody that she is the perfect match for him as well.

This is a solid ending to the series although there are too many similarities plotwise to Taming Natasha, and Kate is an even pushier version than Freddie in Waiting for Nick. Her determination to "get her man" is overdone, especially since Brody is not all that interested in a serious relationship. If the positions were reversed, Brody would be considered a stalker.

Once again, the updates on the rest of the Stanslaski clan are a delight, and Spence's difficulties accepting that his youngest child is all grown up are sweet and endearing.

All in all, this has been an entertaining series and Christina Traister's narration notches up the enjoyment factor. The 2nd book, Luring a Lady is the best of the bunch.

This was actually the first Stanislaskis book that I read and I thought it was wonderful. Kate and Brody made a wonderful couple and I just loved Jack. He was so precious. A really great read that avidly kept my interest.
