She\u2019s trying to prove she can make it as a professional dancer, but she\u2019s overworked, out of cash, and her roommate has just moved out. When she comes home to find a hole in her ceiling and her bedroom flooded, she\u2019s desperate enough to crash with the one guy she can\u2019t quit. She accepts his offer with one condition: no sleeping together while she\u2019s living with him.<\/p>\n<p>Dimitri Kovalenko has never lived with a woman before. But when Tasha\u2019s in need of a place to stay, he suggests she move in without a second thought. He accepts her condition, hoping she won\u2019t stick to it. They\u2019re good together, both in the ballroom and the bedroom. Since their first dance, she\u2019s never been far from his thoughts. Sure, she\u2019s a pro and he\u2019s one of her show\u2019s judges, but they\u2019re not currently filming, so no one needs to know.<\/p>\n<p>Living in close quarters shows Dimitri a side of Natasha he\u2019s never seen before, and he likes it. A lot. Too bad she\u2019s doing everything in her power to keep him at arm\u2019s length. When an injury forces Natasha to take it easy or risk her ability to dance, it\u2019s his chance to show her that the rules have changed, and she can trust him with her heart.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><center><span class=\"ubb-buy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dance-Me-Off-Novel-ebook\/dp\/B0746N3BWZ\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/amazon.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Amazon\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/dance-with-me\/id1262962593?mt=11\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/apple.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Apple\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/dance-with-me-alexis-daria\/1126839744?ean=9781250175595\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/bn.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Barnes & Noble\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/dance-with-me-42\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/kobo.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Kobo\"><\/a><\/span><\/center><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/35832887-dance-with-me\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/widget_logo.gif?w=1280\" alt=\"Goodreads\"><\/a><br><\/center>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2017-12-12T18:50:03+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\r\\n\\r\\nMy Review:\\r\\n\\u201cWho are you if you\\u2019re not a dancer?\\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nI enjoyed the second entry in the Dance Off series even more than the first!

I loved that they were already friends with sometimes benefits when the story started, and things are accelerated by a mishap that ends up with Natasha moving in (temporarily) with Dimitri. Only, neither is content with the state of their relationship, but they\u2019re certain the other doesn\u2019t return their feelings. Both Natasha and Dimitri are strong, driven characters, and it was so much fun as they learned to lean on and support each other. I loved the mixtures of their Puerto Rican and Ukranian heritages.<\/p>\n<p>I found Dimitri frustrating, but in a good way. Dimitri\u2019s main goal in life is to take care of those he loves, and he was constantly baffled by Natasha\u2019s insistence on standing on her own two feet. He was constantly putting his foot in his mouth around Natasha! I found this very endearing, as finding a balance between mothering and smothering is something I struggle with, personally. Watching him gradually come to an understanding of how to best support her, and her acceptance of it, was sweetly adorable. I loved the growth of their relationship, the descriptions of them dancing together, and, holy crap, the sex was hot!<\/p>\n<p>At heart, though, this is a story about dealing with failure. Natasha is convinced that if she can\u2019t support herself &#8211; by herself &#8211; as a dancer, she\u2019s a failure. She attributes most of her success to following in Gina\u2019s wake, and is convinced that now that she\u2019s on her own, she\u2019ll fail. Dimitri has been both a colossal success and a failure, and the fear of failing again has led him to postpone following his dreams. It\u2019s also kept him from sharing his feelings with Natasha for fear of rejection. With some interference from Dimitri\u2019s family and Fucking Donna, though, Dimitri and Natasha are forced to face their fears of failure.<\/p>\n<p>In minor spoilers, I was glad to see Fucking Donna get her comeuppance. But &#8211; what the heck was up with Kevin? I\u2019m hoping a third book is planned for him!<\/p>\n<p>Overall, tons of fun, and I\u2019m looking forward to more books from Ms. Daria!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Review: \u201cWho are you if you\u2019re not a dancer?\u201d I enjoyed the second entry in the Dance Off series even more than the first!
