Thanks to Swerve/SMP via NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. It has not influenced my thoughts or opinions.

Take the Lead, the first book in this duology, focuses more heavily on a Dancing with the Stars-inspired plot between a dancer and a guest competitor. In Dance with Me, Daria explores the on-again-off-again relationship between a dancer and a judge, but it deviates pretty considerably from the first book.

I loved this book because it explores the family you find, the maturity of a regular hook-up to a relationship, and what it means to care for others. It's also ultra steamy, so if that's something you like in romance novels, definitely pick it up. Daria is also very skilled at navigating tough subjects like making difficult decisions to achieve one's dreams, fear of failure, and – oddly enough – personal finance. Both Natasha and Dimitri are likable in different ways, even as they err, and I found myself rooting for them.

Daria is a fresh new voice in romance, and I can't wait to see what she writes next.

After the first book, this was a let down.

Pros: I totally get Natasha's feelings that she's not good enough and that she has to do things on her own in order to prove that she can. This is very relatable to me. I also got the on again/off again thing that she and Dimitri had, and his insecurities. I think it got off to a good start...

Cons:...but once it became evident that Natasha really would face consequences for being around him too much, he should have backed off way faster than he actually did and looked for a different way for them to be able to be together, rather than still being on the same show. He should have listened to her earlier on this. It was one things when it was common for everyone to be hooking up behind the scenes, but once it became a real rule that Natasha could get fired for, Dimitri should have respected that.
