Dancing by the Moonlight

A Carlisle Bay Novel

By: Angie Ellington

Narrated by: Meg Price

Set sail along Carlisle Bay.

Olivia Shields is back in Carlisle Bay, Connecticut, after having traveled the world as a professional ballet dancer. Dancing was her life. Chasing performance dreams is all she's ever known or planned for. One summer she spent in Carlisle Bay before heading to Juilliard left her both heartbroken and more focused on her career than ever. A back injury has forced some changes. She'll take on a new role as the manager of her aunt's coastal boutique. After all, she's completely over the boy who broke her heart forever ago. Brady Carlisle has recently returned to Carlisle Bay; the hometown of his family's namesake. He's spent the last decade in California, designing and patenting surfboards. Becoming his own man without relying on the Carlisle name is all he's ever wanted. Just as life seems to be getting on track, the boutique could be lost. The Shields women have got a few storms to weather. They aren't the only ones. The Carlisle family has held on to secrets for over a decade. Thankfully, these two former summer sweethearts have the kind of friends who make life's damaged surfaces less difficult to repair with wit and humor. Recapturing a summer love swept out at sea thirteen years earlier can be as rough as a stormy sea. Will secrets and heartache of the past keep them apart? Life may not always be smooth sailing along the shores of Carlisle Bay, and fireworks are sure to be found.

Second chance summer romance

Sweet Clean summer romance! Characters were realistic and relatable. I think I fell in love with Brady! Grab a glass of wine sit by the fire and completely lose yourself in a small town in Connecticut.
Meg Price did an amazing job. I can’t imagine anyone else as Olivia and she even managed to sound sexy as hell as Brady

A great second chance at love romance!

I listened to the audio version of this book. This was my first written by Angie Ellington. How did I miss her before? This was a great story. It is a second chance trope in which the characters, Olivia and Brady, had separated under puzzling circumstances (for Olivia). She really didn't know why the guy she loved so deeply called an end to it all. Years later, they meet again in the town that they met. The characters were really well developed. You could feel the growth the past years had given them. Olivia was reluctant to give Brady a chance at first. The resulting romance was realistic in it's pace. I loved both characters!
I also loved that there was a more minor romance going on between Olivia's aunt and her next door neighbor. Older people romance--yeah! It was very sweet how reluctant Aunt Jane was to think that a man could be romantically interested in her. Aunt Jane was a very fun character.
The narration by Meg Price was perfect for this book. Very pleasant to listen to.
I was given a copy of this audio book in return for my honest thoughts.

Second Chance Romance

This is one of those short and sweet romances that I just adore. The characters were done well and easy to like but I found the story itself lacking. It could be because the story is too sort but the challenges the characters life was underdone. Still a great read with an awesome narrator Meg Price.

This book was given to me in exchange for my honest review.

Summer vibes!

Great summer romance! Really gives me that feeling of being by the ocean with love in the air — highly recommend!
