Maddie is a ballerina who has just suffered from an accident while she was preparing for her dream job. She is now forced to take time to rest and go through physical therapy with Dr James Simons who she is immediately attracted to and vice versa.

I loved Maddie's character so much and really enjoyed reading her interactions with her brother. I'm told that I should read his book where Maddie is still a kid and I definitely think I am going to pick that up soon. I already know that I'm going to eat it up.

I personally felt that the relationship between James and Maddie was quite rushed and I wish there was more time spent building the bond between them rather than the pacing that I saw, but that very well could just be a me thing.

Overall, it was a fun read and I can't wait to see what this author does next!
