Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:Happily ever afters aren't just for fairy tales. In this heartfelt novel, a retired athlete must become a father to the daughter he never knewâ??just as he discovers the power of love with a woman who reignites his passions.
Drew Sellers is drowning in broken dreams and empty beer bottles. Hockey was his world, until a bum knee reduced him from superstar to has-been. Then he learns that, thanks to a one-night-stand back in college, he's the father of a preteen girl with major issues. Her protective aunt sees right through Drew's BS, but "Auntie P" is no stereotypical spinster. With her slender curves, toned legs, and luscious lips, she has Drew indulging in fantasies that aren't exactly family-friendly.
At another point in her life, Peyton Watt would have been all over a cocky alpha male who pushes all her buttons like Drew. Right now, though, she needs to focus on taking care of her niece during her sister's health crisis, all while holding down a job and keeping her own head above water. Besides, Drew's clearly no father of the year. He's unemployed. He drinks too much. And he's living in the past. But after Peyton gets a glimpse of the genuine man behind his tough-guy façade, she's hookedâ??and there's no going back.

This was a real bittersweet love story but a second chance at love and family story too. Drew Sellers is disillusioned with the current state of his life. His ex-wife managed to take as much of him that she could and cheated on him to boot. A career ending injury has benched him permanently. With not much to look forward to he can only think of drowning his sorrows and overall feeling sorry for himself. Then a hook up from the past shows up and tells him he has a daughter and it's his choice to connect with her.

Making decisions for himself was never his strong suit and now he has all these big choices to make. What does he want to do next in terms of a career?, Does he want to be a part of his 12 year old daughter's life? Can he keep his hands off, his daughter's gorgeous aunt and guardian?

I received an Advanced Reader's Copy from NetGalley for voluntary review consideration.

Kelly! This book was absolutely beautiful. It was romantic, it was happy, it was sad, and it was so incredibly heartbreaking. I think I was crying within the first couple chapters. By the end of the book I was ugly crying! There was so much going on in this story including meeting a child, dealing with cancer, end of a career, and a possible move. Drew was a complete stand up guy trying to help out where he could. I just recently lost a close family member to cancer and I felt so bad for what Chloe was going through, especially at her age. I kept thinking of how my emotions where all over the place and I couldn't imagine going through that at twelve. This book was just beautifully written and I know I will be rereading it quite a few times.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. ( )

Kelly Jamieson’s DANCING IN THE RAIN is an incredible heartfelt read. NHL star, Drew Sellers, is forced to retire due to a knee injury. He discovers he has a twelve-year-old daughter, a result of a one-night-stand in college. Then he reluctantly finds himself attracted to his daughter’s aunt, Payton Watt. This contemporary romance takes place in Chicago and New York.

I adored DANCING IN THE RAIN. The story was genuine and profound. I love how everyone grew and seems to learn from each other.

My heart went out to Sara; she was a good mother to Chloe and sister to Payton. She is a strong heroine with wonderful values.

Chloe is an amazing girl. I love that she fights for what she believes in. My heart broke for her loss. I was glad Drew came into her life.

Peyton is a wonderful sister and aunt. She is a determined business woman who ends up reevaluating her priorities. She is smart and determined.

Drew is a great guy. He has a difficult time with having to retire early and having gone through a divorce. He understandably goes through an identity crisis. Sara, Chloe, and Payton seem to come into his life at the right time. He grows tremendously throughout this story.

Drew and Payton have amazing chemistry. It is understandable why they are reluctant to get together. They are an amazing couple.

Kelly Jamieson did an astounding job with DANCING IN THE RAIN. It had me laughing and crying. I was invested in the characters. I enjoyed the plot. The story dealt with hard issues and had worthy life lessons. The ending was perfect. I loved this story. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. ( )
