Book Review for Say It Again
This book is going to be the death of me! I was so engrossed in one chapter that I didn’t realize I had stepped too far to the left on the treadmill and almost fell off! I was drinking hot tea when a well-timed idiom mix-up had me choking. In short, “Say It Again” is funny! It’s not just hilarious, it is so full of emotion that if you are not bent over in laughter, you are fanning your face to keep the tears from streaking your cheeks while reading it in public and receiving sidelong glances.
Daniel Greene has enjoyed the pleasure that dance has offered for over twenty years. The expression, the freedom, the desires one fluid movement can evoke are intoxicating. Unfortunately, despite all that dance has to offer, a sustainable lifestyle and decent income aren’t at the top of the list. Making the most of his life as a dance instructor at St. Louis School of Dance, Daniel ignores the constant whispers of his disapproving father and pours all he has into working with his students. He also tries to avoid his best friend’s off-the-cuff requests to help with her business venture, After The Pumpkin. Failing to avoid her latest request to help at a party, Daniel somehow finds himself behind the bar, with zero bartending experience, staring into the most icy blue eyes he has ever seen. Thrown off his game and feeling foolish, Daniel can’t believe it when the gorgeous lawyer asks him out on a date. Lady Luck doesn’t stop there; his mentor offers him a chance of a lifetime, to buy the dance studio he has loved since he was 18! Unprepared for the sudden turn of events in his life, Daniel must decide if he is ready to grow up and make the most of the sudden gifts coming his way.
Aaron may not have the most conventional job in the world (understatement of the century), but it affords him a comfortable lifestyle and the opportunity to pursue his real passion, interior design. It doesn’t, however, make room for deep, meaningful relationships. So when Aaron encounters Daniel at a house party that he is attending with a client, he can’t believe his luck. Finally, he may have met someone with whom he can build something real. That is until Daniel asks him to review a contract for a potential business deal, seeing that he is a “lawyer” after all. Suddenly, Aaron’s world is turned upside down as he struggles to reveal his true self to Daniel without losing the first person who has completely captured his heart.
I can’t believe this is Tessa Hatfield’s first book! She has come out of the gate strong and I hope she keeps up the momentum. I can’t wait to read what she writes next. Topping this one will be a challenge but with her talent, I strongly believe she can do it!
Available August 20th but you can pre-order your copy now!
Thank you Tessa for allowing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
