I received an ARC through NetGalley.

Finding Your Feet was another super cute romance in this series! It's kind of like a queer Dirty Dancing! Evie is currently on vacation in Toronto, meeting her online BFF, and scoping out the city she hopes to call home come Fall. Then she accidentally enters a dance competition and gets paired up with the gorgeous but cranky, Tyler. Tyler just wants to get this dance over with after being burned by a dance partner before, but there's something about Evie. She's not at all like his ex, but she's also leaving in a week. Is she worth the risk?

Once again, the author has written an adorable Romance involving an ace character! Evie is out as bisexual, but not fully out as asexual. She's out to her friends but not her family, as she doesn't think they'd understand. But entering a dance competition at a Pride event, is sure to get back to them. I loved how open and straightforward she was with Tyler once it's clear that feelings are developing. She puts it all out there. He does as well. Tyler is transgender and had a horrible experience with his ex-girlfriend. He's worried that it'll happen again, and after some bumps in the road, he opens up to Evie. Hooray for communication!

The dancing part of Finding Your Feet was also really fun. Dance is Tyler's passion despite his hesitance about this competition. He doesn't want to work with Evie at first, but she's a natural, even though she's not a professional dancer. I adored their scenes together! Tyler is patient with her, and Evie is a hard worker. And you can tell they were having so much fun once they settled into their lessons. Of course, their dancing has to turn from awkward and fun to awkward and tense!

Overall, I really enjoyed Finding Your Feet. I do wish there had been a bit more about Evie coming out to her family, which she does in a big way! She pulls this big stunt, and then nothing afterward. I also want to know what Evie "likes" as I'm sure Tyler does as well!
