Strictly Come Dating by Kathryn Freeman

 


Today is my stop on the Blog tour for this romantic and funny read from Kathryn Freeman. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 



Book Description

                                Saturday nights are strictly for dancing… 

As the glitter ball shimmers and sequins flash, forty-year-old Maggie remembers the pull of the dancefloor.  But now, as a newly divorced mum of two, Maggie’s certain her dancing days are over.  Or are they…?

Encouraged by her friends, Maggie dusts off her silver stilettoes and enrols for dancing classes, all she needs now is the perfect partner.

Enter Seb.  Young, carefree and hot as hell, Seb is definitely a perfect 10!  Even though everything about him is outrageously inappropriate! But as Seb sweeps her across the dancefloor every week, Maggie begins to see a new side to him; kind, caring, funny, strong. 

And Maggie realises that he’s the only one she’d like to foxtrot with…perhaps even forever


My Review

This was a great fun read that I enjoyed from beginning to end. 

Maggie is a Doctor and a recently divorced mum of two. She enjoys her life being super organised and is finding little room in her life to get back to some of the hobbies she had before her ex husband made her change her mind. 

The main excitement in the life of Maggie is her Saturday night watching strictly with her best friends. She loves the glitz, glamour and sparkles of it all and loves spending time with her best friends too. 

Maggie's friends are keen for her to move on with her life and put herself first again. So when they hear about how much Maggie enjoyed dance classes they encourage her to start them again. Maggie, having lost her confidence is reluctant to begin with but decides to go. 

Maggie finds out when she starts classes that all the single men there are short and bald so her friends suggestion of romance happening at her class does not seem like it will happen. That is until the handsome Seb becomes her knight in shining amour. 

Seb is the brother of Maggie's best friend Sarah. He is used to travelling the world, being single and not having a care in the world. That all changed when his father became ill and Seb came to stay with Sarah. 

Maggie and Seb enjoy the dance classes and there are sparks of romance between the pair of them as they begin to learn to dance together. The more time they spend together the more Maggie feels herself drawn to Seb. Could he be her new happy ending?

This is such an uplifting, fun and romantic read that I loved from beginning to end. The writing style of Kathryn Freeman is one I do enjoy reading as it flows well and I find all of the characters to be very believable. I love the romance in this book and at times you can feel the sparks leaping off of the pages. 

The main characters in the book are Maggie and Seb. Maggie is still trying to find her confidence again after it took a huge knock from her ex husband. She has some amazing friends who are helping her with this as well as the incredibly hot Seb. 

Seb is finding it hard being back and living with his sister, but with their father being so poorly he really felt like he had no other option. 

The dance classes they go to sound like great fun and this really does make Maggie happy. 

This is truly a brilliant and fun read that will take you away from life for a while and lift your heart.

About the Author

A former pharmacist, I’m now a medical writer who also writes romance. Some days a racing heart is a medical condition, others it’s the reaction to a hunky hero. 

I’ve two sons and a husband who asks every Valentine’s Day whether he has to buy a card (yes, he does), so any romance is all in my head. Then again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.
