Danced Close by Annabeth Albert
3.0
3.5 Stars!!
Oh the angst is back and I reveled in all the insecurity and doubt! Seriously, this little series is deceptively wrought with a lot of feels and tough issues and all the twisty feelings that come along with it.
Todd hasn’t had it easy, and he’s been through some very rough times with equally rough consequences. He’s getting back on his feet, trying to appreciate the small things in life and not fucking things up. A bright point in his day is when he gets to see Kendall, the beautiful wedding planner, who comes often to the bakery where he works. When Todd’s unexpectedly asked to fill in as Kendall’s partner for dance lessons, he can’t say no.
Kendall is different, and he’s not afraid to express himself, which means he tends to favor the feminine side of accessories and accents more than most. Such pride and fearlessness doesn’t mean he hasn’t had his fair share of haters, which unfortunately includes a douchey ex who always wanted him to tone things down. So though Kendall is very attracted to the shy, rugged Todd, and thrills at how well they get along, he of course is afraid of getting hurt.
Albert consistently brings the feels and the sexy and I loved the yearning and vulnerability and feelings of inadequacy, as Todd and Kendall dance around each other literally and figuratively. I only wish this was longer to further delve into all the intricacies regarding these two and their issues - both separate and together.
