That is until Reeve, a charming, successful developer, returns to town, looking for the new owner of the dance hall, intent on turning it into luxury vacation condos. Suddenly Jules has a way to make her lifelong dream of going to med school a reality. But selling the dance hall will only add to the steadily rising real estate prices and make it harder for residents of her tiny vacation town to live there, not to mention, Reeve also happens to be the man who Jules shared a magical night with two summers ago-- and never heard from again. Reeve wants a second chance with Jules a...nd is determined to earn back her trust. But can she let herself fall for him again? Does he want her, or a guaranteed sale?

Review by Library Journal Review

Julia DeMarco's financial situation has forced her to shelve her dream of attending medical school. Instead, she's working at the local retirement home in her small lakeside town. One of the residents, the sly and charismatic Kitty St. Clair, passes away and unexpectedly bequeaths Jules an old dance hall in town. If Jules sells the dance hall to a developer who's interested in it, she'll be able to pay for med school and fulfill her dreams. However, the sale could drive up real estate prices in her struggling hometown. The new development would be managed by charming Reeve Baldwin, the man Jules had a memorable night with a few years ago. As Jules grapples with trusting Reeve, she investigates why Kitty left her the dance hall. While reading Kitty's diary, Jules starts to dream of the dance hall's past 50 years ago, when it was hopping. Through these dreams, can she figure out the intent of Kitty's gift--to help Jules? Or to keep their town out of developers' hands? VERDICT Robb (Prime Time Romance) again gives contemporary romance a dynamic fantasy twist. Add in a hefty dose of heat, lovable characters, and a grounding moral dilemma, and it all comes together for a great read.--Kellie Tilton
