ALC review

Single narration - Mark Sanderlin
This narrator did a really good job. He has a cute voice.
This book was enjoyable. I found the story to be cute and sweet.

Mateo is a hot former broadway star who is working at a resort on a nightly show after falling from fame.
Archer is a former accountant trying to make his way in the world of dance/broadway.

Archer gets a chance working at an LGBTQ resort and on day one he sees Mateo a dancer he has a crush on as a teen.

This story follows Archer through his time working at the resort and his relationships. Trying to find his way and worrying about when he is finished with this job what he will do.

I really enjoyed it.
Closed door spice level. A few suggestive scenes and mentions of sex but no explicit description.

** told in 3rd person POV

In summary: high school angst but adults, adult camp dance group drama, light-hearted, figuring out what's next in life, closed door, and there's even more drama. If you've ever been a camp counselor and/or were involved with dance and/or drama you'll be able to find something to connect to. I feel like the drama would best be suited to people who are younger, ie just out of high school/college age not late 20's and 30's.

Audio recording, at the beginning of the book, the audio quality is not very good, it has a bit of an echo tin sound. The narrator was great at making Archer sound naive and open/gullible.

Overall, it gave me summer beach read vibes.

3.5 stars

Dancing and romancing are coming your way with this newest release from Jennifer Moffatt.

Archer and Mateo are dancers in a music review at a place called Shady Queens, and they are both there because of their own perceived failures. Archer, at 27, isn't getting many bites when it comes to his dance career (his parents are way more enthused about his potential life as an accountant), and Mateo was a well known and respected dancer who has now, somehow, ended up here. While neither dancer's career is showing much promise in the moment, a burgeoning romance just might be changing the game.

I'm always here for queer romance, and this is a fun and relatively light read. I did want some more depth in characterization and in the development of the central relationship, but this is enjoyable overall, and I'll be back for more from this author.
