I’m currently reading…… Dance For Me by Helena Newbury
I’ve had this book for quite some time. I actually received it as part of the Goodreads First Reads programme but for some reason never got round to reading it.
I guess cos it wasn’t my usual reading genre but it sounded interesting so I requested it anyway.
So basically, in a search for a suitable N author (for my A-Z of Authors challenge) I rediscovered this one and thought this seemed like the perfect time to finally read it. Fingers crossed I will enjoy it.
Natasha is one of the most promising ballet dancers at the prestigious Fenbrook Academy of Performing Arts and she’s just landed a life-changing audition. But no one knows the guilt she carries…or the damage it makes her inflict on herself when she’s alone.
Darrell is a multi-millionaire designer at 25. But past traumas have pushed him into isolation and the intense pressure of his work has brought him to the edge of burnout. Seeking inspiration, he sees Natasha dance and hires her as his muse.
As she dances for him, the two become entwined in a passionate but troubled relationship. He starts to see the pain inside her and helps her gradually lower her defenses…but Darrell has demons of his own. Can two broken people save each other? Or will the darkness they’re hiding consume them both?
This New Adult Romance is recommended for 17+ due to mature themes, sexual situations and language

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: Write out a description of your life, as if it were a book’s description.
A young couple finally scrape together enough money to buy their first home but little did they know, this ‘fixer-upper’ has issues! Join Rachel and Ashley on their daunting journey of re-wiring, redecorating and remodeling. Will there be aspestos in their artex? Will they find the will to remove all that woodchip? And will they ever agree on carpets? With quirky neighbours and family feuds nothing is boring in the Filer household, even Jollyon the mouse has attitude. But will they ever finish?
I would love this book. Anything with dancing in it catches my eye.
Love your story. Rehabbing houses can be so much fun, but those issues are a killer. We had a fixer upper and I was glad when we finally moved on from it. If it makes you feel any better, when we built this house it was tough to agree on things too.
Hope you have a great week.
