Love blossoms between the two but both are careful to give in. A tornado gives them a boost, his ex-wife creates tensions, but love wins.
A beautiful scene in the book when Izzy offers her 2 paper hearts to show Gracie that she has their hearts in her hands.

Sometimes fear can stop you from trying again….

Rick, never dreamed he’d end up be a single dad; yet here he was trying to figure out how to raise one spirited little girl.
Okay so maybe they didn’t have the best of first meetings but hey maybe there was some kind of re-set button they could push.
Gracie had a nice but maybe a little bland routine that kepted her going.
But now with her new neighbors disrupting even throwing a few kinks in to her well ordered life and she wasn’t sure how to react.
Still year after year she was just letting the world quietly pass her by because it was safer then to try.
However that man must have discovered some of her best kept secrets because he seemed to figure out just how to crack her; she armor.
Gracie knew it would be much easier to simply close the door before something worse happened.
They were suffering from a few too many misses; one being misunderstanding and the other miscommunication.
On top of the fact both of them were selectively to stubborn for their own good.
Still he wasn’t willing to just give up without at least trying.

Dance Into My Heart by Maddie James is a clean romance featuring a mid-thirtyish single woman who is reconciled to staying so, and a divorced man with a little girl name Isabella (Izzie) who come to Harbor Falls to rent a storefront that adjoins her. She runs a romance store, Romantically Yours, that features a variety of goods: clothing, jewelry, books, tea, perfumes, et al. He misleads her into thinking her is opening a cafe when in reality it is more a family bar. He calls it Rick’s Cafe, after himself. Grace is not happy when she figures it out, but the lease is ironclad and she really had come to like Izzie.
This is a simple romance: no huge secrets, just simple misunderstanding which were easily remedied. Rick was tired of his high-pressure life as a lawyer in Ashville and he needed to spend more time with his daughter. He didn’t want her to be raised by babysitters, no matter how good they were. And her certainly wasn’t looking for a woman, not after his last experience. He is the typical reluctant suitor, until he isn’t. Grace has been hurt and she doesn’t intend it to happen again. She has spent ten long years recovering and just because he is good-looking, doesn’t mean she is going to get involved. The plot is thin, but that’s OK. It is truly a feel-good romance that will make you smile.

This was a sweet story about a single father trying to change his world to spend more time with his daughter, and a former ballerina trying to find her place after losing her ability to dance. Gracie was a beautiful dancer before an accident left her unable to dance and with the loss of her fiancée. Rick becomes a single father when his wife decides her acting career is more important than her family. I enjoyed the slow build of their friendship into a relationship while also building a friendship between Gracie and Rick’s daughter Izzie. The only thing standing in their way of a HEA is opening up their hearts again and letting love in.

Rick and Gracie didn’t do a lot of dancing, unless you counted the dancing around each other and the feelings they tried to avoid. Cue the meddling women of Harbour Falls with their not-so-subtle matchmaking and Rick’s daughter Izzie. Izzie was funny and a bit mischievious for her own good. Wasn’t a fan of Marci and she can exit stage left permanently for all the good she does during and after her visit…smh!! Gracie stepped up to be the mother Izzie needed and the wife Rick deserved. She found healing in releasing the pain from 10 years ago.

A lovely romance story for Gracie and Rick and little Izzie just totally stole the show! I really liked that this was a straightforward romance and did not have some horrible conflict that had to be resolved before the MC could get their HEA. Sometimes, a reader just needs a good dose of sweet to counteract the heaviness and angst-filled majority of romances being released lately and Ms. James delivers that to us so very well!
