Slowing Down
I enjoyed Miya and Dean's story that starts at enemies (at least from Miya's perspective) and morphs to friends before finding more. It's a slow progression as Dean is constantly jet setting, Miya wants forever not casual, and both try to ignore the chemistry that is always simmering just under the surface, but they are worth the wait.
I love this family! They occasionally blow smoke, but most of the time they keep it real and full of love - bullshit insurance and all.
When he stops hiding from his feelings, he really digs deep. I like Dean a lot. He has a wounded heart and soul from the fallout of his parents' divorce. It's sad that he was never a priority for either. Thankfully, his found family was there to show him a better way, something to perhaps strive for, even if he thought he never wanted it.
I do like that there are dance breaks.

Mamma: She grabs her heart. "You wouldn't. Not my only daughter."
Miya: "And they wonder where I get my dramatic flair."
Mamma: "Oh no, they don't wonder— they know."

How did I live thirty-three years avoiding love only for it to find me and take me hostage?

And bless my man's soul, because he doesn't have a lick of rhythm, but it doesn't stop him from dancing.
