Plot Summary of The Dance
"This is a book set in Malibu, California, in the world of horse show jumping. Tam is a horse trainer, and Blake is a client with a horse who needs help. She falls for him, but he is a a widower, not ready to commit his heart again. This was a very emotionally satifying book. Not your typical genre romance."
Hannah Brown, Resident Scholar
