Book Review: Along for the Ride
Avid ballet dancer, Emily Van Buren is beyond thrilled when her company partners with the Grand Rapids symphony to showcase her favorite composer, Grayson Michaels. A corporate dinner gives her the chance to know him better, and her fleeting crush turns into something more concrete. If only she could find the courage to tell him.
Grayson can’t get Emily off his mind after their easy conversation at the corporate dinner. Her regular visits to the studio quickly become the highlight of his day, though they don’t offer the opportunity for chatting one on one, and his time there is coming to an end. When his after-work plans are unexpectedly canceled, he eagerly accepts Emily’s offer to spend the afternoon together.
The walk to his hotel leaves them both wanting more time, and a stalled elevator grants their unspoken wish.
With nowhere to go and nothing to do but talk, Grayson and Emily have to decide if they’re only along for the ride or brave enough to see where this connection might lead.
The Shafted Series is a collection of short, standalone, in-elevator romances that can be read in any order.
My Review
Ahh, I absolutely loved this novella. It gave off a different vibe than the prior stories in this series. This is not a bad thing. In fact, I really enjoyed the fact that it was different. What I mean by this is that the story was full of deep emotions and not an insta-lust. Not that I have anything against a fast and furious romance.
Yet, there is just something that hits differently when the emotions are raw. Because Grayson is blind, touch comes into play a lot more than vocal. When Emily "showed" Grayson how she danced by allowing him to feel it through her movements that was a beautiful and steamy scene.
Readers of this series are in for a special treat with this novella. It is one that will stick with you. Grayson and Emily dance the language of love.
