Dance to the Piper by Nora Roberts

Just look at that cover! Seriously amazing and now I wish I had that book in my possession and not just some boring cover (you saw it on the last Nora Roberts post, so dull compared to this one). Anyway, this is the story of Maddy O'Hurley, the middle triplet who has so much energy she can dance all night and all day - which is a good thing as she is a very talented Broadway actress.

Maddy is a quirky, free-spirit living her life for herself and no one else. She seems to relish making time for herself and going with the flow, even if that flow is taking her towards a rather high-strung, though seriously attractive music exec.

Reed's company is backing Maddy's new musical, a story about a stripper who meets the man of her dreams - but he thinks she is a librarian - what will happen? Reed however, is a pretty straight-laced, workaholic who is sure he knows what he wants and that it isn't Maddy. But, can he really resist her charms or will he end up head over heels for a woman he just can't believe would be good for him...?

All about assumptions and fear of commitment this book is a bit of a roller coaster. Maddy is quick to know what she wants and when she falls in love she knows it to be true, but Reed is a cynical, and at times, a bit of a jerk - who just needs to loosen up and believe that true love can be right in front of you.

I really enjoyed this, probably not as much as The Last Honest Woman, but it does give you a taste for the O'Hurley's high-flying, high-living lifestyle that will knock you over the head in Skin Deep. A quick read, perfect for a holiday and I have to say having them in 2-in-1 packs makes these books so easy to read one after the other!
