Dance to the Piper by Nora Roberts

Hero: Reed Valentine
Heroine: Maddy O'Hurley
Grade: B-
Date: 1/07/06

Though her name was up in lights, Maddy O'Hurley cared nothing for the trappings of stardom. All that mattered was dancing. But Reed Valentine's only passions were wealth and power. . .until Maddy engaged the mesmerizing mogul in the daring dance of love.

Do opposites really attract?

They do in this story. No one could be more completely different than straight laced, business before pleasure, Reed Valentine and fun loving, free spirit Maddy O'Hurley. She's a dancer, he's a big time business mogul. He's the backer for her next Broadway play. They couldn't have been more wrong for each other, but they had love on their side and just when you think there's no hope for them, love comes out and saves the day.

I really enjoyed reading this story, it had all the necessary drama mixed in with a dallop of witty banter and what really drew me to the story was the hope that Maddy never really lost sight of. She knew what she wanted and instead of playing the coy seductress, she seduced Reed with everything that she was.

Herself.

It's a feel good story of two people's journey from friendship to lovers to husband and wife. You'll enjoy this story as much as I did, I'm sure. Very light, which is exactly what I was looking for and NR really delivered with this story.

A treat.
