Dancing to Their own Rhythm

Brynn Halstead, a dancing diva finds herself drawn to Simeon Storey, a jazz musician, club owner and accomplished composer. Having met briefly years before, they meet again working through their misunderstandings and begin looking forward to a possible future. When Brynn suffers a possible career ending tragedy that leaves her broken in a thousand pieces, Simeon is right there to pick up the pieces, never anticipating that trying to piece together something so fragile may further pull them apart.When I picked up this book I was in the mood for romance and that is exactly what I got. Doris Johnson created a heroine that one could empathize with and hero that every woman would want. However Ms. Johnson takes the proverbial saying "when it rains it pours" to a new level. I became a bit overwhelmed in all the obstacles faced by the characters. Nonetheless, the passion shown for their dreams and each other was infectious and the tragedy, recovery and discovery of oneself that our heroine goes through, distinguishes this from other romances that I have read. I found it enjoyable and definitely a recommendable read. And can I add that I would love to have this man in my life.KotanyaAPOOO BookClub

A dance of love

From the time she was seven years old, dancing consumed BrynnHalsted's life. Dancing for her was like being in love for the first time, and being loved back. At sixteen, a day after the death of her father, she displayed a toughness that belied her years as she executed a performance that propelled her into stardom. Simeon Storey, a fresh, young, up and coming pianist once playedfor Brynn and was so mesmerized by her performance, he waitedanxiously in the wings to meet her and share his dreams of writing a score just for her. But as Brynn passed she just looked right through him.Four years later fate has again placed Simeon in Brynn's path. A devastating attack has injured Brynn's body and spirit. Simeon may be the only one to challenge her to recover her self worth. He valiantly tries to shelter Brynn as she faces one tumultuous pirouette after another. Brynn is on a path of self-discovery and Simeon is finding the courage to trust in love again.Ms. Johnson has written an endearing story about triumph and tragedy, set in Harlem, reminiscent of the Renaissance era. This is a Contemporary Romance, but this story clearly shows that life is not all fluff. That when two people are trying to build a romance, the issue of personality flaws must still be faced and concessions must be made. Reviewed by aNN Brown
