After an injury ends her prima ballerina career, opening a dance studio becomes Lyric Taylor’s new dream. The months of planning have been hectic, though, so she’s grateful when her five best friends gift her a trip to Aruba to relax before her grand opening. When a lodging double-booking leads to an exciting no-strings fling with a stranger, she returns to Memphis ready to take on her new career. Sure, it was a week like no other, but what happens on vacation stays on vacation. Devon Masters didn’t expect to find a beautiful bunkmate at the beach, but maybe time spent with Lyric was just what he needed to get himself back on track. When the sexy stranger ends up being his daughter’s new dance teacher, the single father isn’t prepared for the feelings she still stirs in him. He’s already had one disastrous relationship with a dancer and isn’t sure giving Lyric a chance is worth the risk to his heart.
VERDICT This fifth installment in St. John’s “Six Gems” series, after Frenemy Fix-Up, is best for readers who are already invested in the women and their HEAs.
