Dance Me A Dream by Kait Nolan

FYI - The Wishful series has been bundled into economical box sets and this book (ebook & audio) is included in Volume 3.

This is a cute novella adding to the Wishful world. It’s set during the Christmas season and runs somewhat concurrently with Be Careful With My Heart & Just for This Moment (books 3 & 4). There aren’t really any spoilers to other books – but as there are a lot of folks to keep track of in Wishful, it’s helpful to listen to the series in order.

Tara has been a small secondary character up until now and it was so sweet to listen to Jace woo her. Tara has been so busy adjusting to role of mom to her much younger siblings that’s she’s basically in survival mode. I appreciate that when Nolan includes children, she makes them an integral part of the story in a realistic way. Jace not only falls in love with Tara, but with Austin and Ginny as well. The whole Applewhite family envelopes the Honeycutts and makes this listen sugarplum sweet.

As a novella covering a short time period, this ends more as an HFN – but I’m sure we’ll hear more about Jace & Tara as the series goes on.

Amy McFadden rocks this again. She continues to give all the folks of Wishful unique voices and mannerisms. I also couldn’t help but adore Ginny’s voice and enthusiasm. So cute! I continue to enjoy this writer/narrator team.

Note: I’ve tagged this as “New Adult” and Tara *is* only 21 but she has major responsibilities, so this doesn’t have the typical NA/College age feel to it. It’s simply to remind me the MCs are younger. In regards to the “Closed Door” tag, there’s actually no sex scenes at all, nothing more than a kiss between the MCs.

Another delightful story set in Wishful. The Applewhite farm sets the scene for a beautiful Christmas romance.

I received an ARC of this book from Kait Nolan and have chosen to review it. I really enjoyed this story I got to see what happened to a character that I previously had wondered about in another of the Wishful series books. In this book you get to see the struggles that Tara has faced and you get a better understanding of what has happened in her life and it just tugged at my heartstrings for all the tough situations that she had to go through to get to where she is at. This book is a really easy read and it something that you can finish in one setting if you have the time to spare. I absolutely loved it and I can’t wait to read more of the Wishful series.
