Take the Lead by Alexis Daria

A Dance of Novel, Book 1

BLURB

From Alexis Daria, author of the international bestseller You Had Me at Hola, comes a fun, sexy romance set against a reality dance show.

Gina Morales wants to make it big. In her four seasons on The Dance Off, she's never even made it to the finals. But her latest partner, the sexy star of an Alaskan wilderness show, could be her chance. Who knew the strong, silent, survivalist-type had moves like that? She thinks Stone Nielson is her ticket to win it all—until her producer makes it clear they're being set up for a showmance.

Joining a celebrity dance competition is the last thing Stone wants. However, he'll endure anything to help his family, even as he fears revealing their secrets. While the fast pace of Los Angeles makes him long for the peace and privacy of home, he can't hide his growing attraction for his dance partner. Neither wants to fake a romance for the cameras, but the explosive chemistry that flares between them is undeniable.

As Stone and Gina heat up the dance floor, the tabloids catch on to their developing romance. With the spotlight threatening to ruin everything, will they choose fame and fortune, or let love take the lead?

Contains mature themes.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. The opinions stated here are my own and no one else's. I'm also so sorry this review is sooo late.

I loved this book.

It made me feel like I was reading a season of Dancing with the Stars with all the behind-the-scenes and drama we don't see on TV.

Stone is so sexy. His big muscle man, mountain man, and gruffness turning into such an amazing dancer who laughs and jokes.

I love Gina's Latina sassiness. I felt seen, which is what all of Alexis Daria's books do. Make me feel seen and connected to the Latino culture a lot of romances are missing which is why I love all her books so much. This one was no different and she has quickly become a 1-click author to me.

Highly recommend!
