Book Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Book Tropes: Single Dad, Daughter’s Dance Teacher X Grumpy Goalie, Emotional Scars, Love and Healing After Loss, Spicy Slow Burn

Luna is a dancer. She lived in New York for awhile, and then moved back to her small town in Florida to be back near her family. She opened up a dance studio - which is right next to her mom's yoga studio. Luna loves teaching the little girls the beginning dance moves for ballet and dance. She loves seeing them in their little tutu's running around the studio. What she doesn't realize is how lonely she's been without dating someone. 

Cayden is a top NHL goalie. He lost his wife 2 yrs ago, however, his 2 1/2 yr old daughter is the light of his life. He has sworn off love / relationships since his wife's passing. But, that has just left him angry and hurt. He has been having pain in his hips and the teams physical therapist suggested he see a yoga instructor and they may be able to open up his hips and make him relax doing the different poses. 

Cayden has a recommendation that he take his daughter to a dance studio to learn ballet. She is very excited to go to learn. What Cayden doesn't realize is who the teacher is, Luna. He can't take his eyes off of her. Why do they feel such a instant connection? Cayden has sworn off love and relationships since his wife's passing. But, shouldn't he be allowed to be happy also? 

Cayden has his first yoga stretching lesson, from none other than Luna, who also does private yoga lessons, something Cayden wasn't excepting, her in tiny shorts showing him moves that he can't get out of his hear. 

Luna feels deeply and loves deeply. She can't do casual, and that's what Cayden suggests they have, a casual relationship, booty call. Luna wants him, but, is she willing to leave her heart out of it? When she is already crushing on him? 

Will Cayden learn to love again? Or will he close himself off to someone who brings nothing but light into his and his daughters life? 

I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving a honest book review.

  Book Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lila Ferrante, grew up with everyone thinking she had the mind of a 5 year old. Her mother told everyone she was simple minded. Lila grew up as the baby of the family, her older brothers didn’t really spend time with her as she only played with the dolls her mother allowed her to play with.
