I absolutely loved this book! There was so much chemistry between the characters and the conflicts were genuine and well fleshed-out. I didn't feel any "rolling my eyes" moments that sometimes happens in romcoms because the characters were well-rounded and nothing that happened was outlandish. Gina and Stone sizzled from the first meeting and I loved his stoic and serious demeanor in juxtaposition to her fiery and charismatic one. As someone who met her SO through salsa dancing, I definitely appreciated the portrayal of how close dancing brings two people and how much trust is required to develop a partnership.
