Ever since the eight grade,
Diandra Davis has been in love with ballroom dancing. Teaching is about the only exciting thing she
has going on right now. After a few
mediocre relationships and a horrible incident with a student, Diandra is
apprehensive about getting involved again.
Jared Whitman is the ultimate big
brother so there was no way he could refuse the ballroom lessons his sister
signed him up for. He just hoped he
didn’t embarrass himself too badly with his two left feet. Nervousness quickly turns to desire when he
spots his beautiful dance instructor.
The attraction between Diandra
and Jared is too strong to be ignored.
Jared tries not to rush things, but he’s determined to make Diandra
his. Diandra wants Jared in the worst way
and after a debate with herself, she gives in.
When they come together, it’s like the Fourth of July. But the afterglow is ruined by assumptions
and we all know what “they” say about assuming things.
Honesty really is the best policy
and in Jared and Diandra’s case, it would have spared them both lots of pain
and confusion. I saw their issue coming
but I didn’t think it would snowball into an avalanche. Diandra’s guilt was normal, but I wasn’t
expecting anger from Jared. Cheek to Cheek is a simple and sweet
story between two people who get a shot at the kind of relationship that knocks
your socks off. They deserved to feel
passion for someone, not just something, like their job. Watching Jared and Diandra find what they
were missing in each other felt comfortable.
I liked the image of an average guy like Jared getting the girl. Romance and reality make a great combination
that readers won’t be able to resist.
