Book Description:
Fun, feel-good and a must read for fans of Strictly Come Dancing!
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 Thoughts:
Even though I'm not a fan of Strictly Come Dancing, having never watched an episode of it, I was still drawn to this book as overall it sounded a fun and light hearted read and it didn't disappoint.
We meet thirty seven year old Maggie, a doctor who is bringing up two daughters on her own after getting divorced. Every week, Maggie and her daughters get together with Maggie's best friends, sisters, Alice and Sarah, to enjoy watching the Strictly Come Dancing show on telly. I have to say I love Alice and Sarah as well as Maggie's daughters, Penny and Tabby. They are all so lovely and couldn't help finding Penny and Tabby especially adorable.
Seb is a good deal younger than his sisters Alice and Sarah at only twenty seven years of age but that doesn't stop him instantly falling for their lovely friend Maggie. Whilst Strictly is definitely not his sort of thing, he starts joining his sisters and Maggie on a Saturday night to get closer to Maggie. Seb is an absolute dreamboat! Good looking, hunky, young, what more could a woman ask for? I love how much he takes in about Maggie and her girls and is very in tune with them, much to Maggie's resistance as, even though she is attracted to Seb, she finds it hard to overcome the age gap between them.
Strictly Come Dating is much more than a romance novel. It's about doing what makes you happy and not letting what others think stop you from going after what you want. There was the perfect balance of romance so that it was believable and not cringy. There is a lot of humour also throughout and by the end I was grinning like a Cheshire cat. Wonderfully uplifting, incredibly sweet, I loved every bit of this novel!
