Take the Lead, the first book in this duology, focuses more heavily on a Dancing with the Stars-inspired plot between a dancer and a guest competitor. In Dance with Me, Daria explores the on-again-off-again relationship between a dancer and a judge, but it deviates pretty considerably from the first book.

I loved this book because it explores the family you find, the maturity of a regular hook-up to a relationship, and what it means to care for others. It's also ultra steamy, so if that's something you like in romance novels, definitely pick it up. Daria is also very skilled at navigating tough subjects like making difficult decisions to achieve one's dreams, fear of failure, and – oddly enough – personal finance. Both Natasha and Dimitri are likable in different ways, even as they err, and I found myself rooting for them.

Daria is a fresh new voice in romance, and I can't wait to see what she writes next.

Dance with me by Alexis Daria a sublime four-star read. This is the second book in the Dance Off series, and it’s just as good if not better that the first book. This book will have you dancing in the supermarket isles, it’s a great story and shows us what happens during the off season of reality TV shows, its shows how life isn’t all sparkles and bedazzled leotards. Natasha Diaz is having a hard time, her life isn’t what she was hoping and she has realised that when life gives you lemons you move in with a boy you can’t keep your hands off. That boy is Dimitri and well I wouldn’t want to keep my hands off him either. He could show me his moves any time, but that may be the problem.
This book will keep you reading and humming to yourself while you read it, if it doesn’t fill you with a passion for dancing I don’t know what will. If you are after a great read, with romance and drama a plenty then this is the read for you.

I enjoyed this Dance Off novel even better than the first, as Natasha and Dmitri's relationship got to the depths of who they are intrinsically and why they complement each other extremely well!

Dance With Me, shows us what some characters have to do while not taping the show to make ends meet. I am one of the people that think "they're a celebrity, they must be rolling in the money." Well Natasha surely isn't. Good thing for her that Dimitri is so patient. Because she is one stubborn woman.
