Book Review: Dancing with Fireflies

A Chapel Springs Romance
Jade returns home to Chapel Springs after years of protecting her fragile heart. Then along comes Daniel, making her long to dance again.

Creative and complicated, Jade McKinley felt like a weed in a rose garden growing up in Chapel Springs. When she left, she thought she’d never look back. But now, pregnant, alone, and broke, she has no other choice but to return.

The mayor of Chapel Springs, Daniel Dawson, has been an honorary member of the McKinley family for years. While his own home life was almost non-existent, Daniel fit right into the boisterous McKinley family. He’s loved Jade for years, but she always saw him as a big brother. Now that she’s back, his feelings are stronger than ever.

As Jade attempts to settle in, nothing feels right. God seems far away, she’s hiding secrets from her family, and she’s strangely attracted to the man who’s always called her “squirt.” Finding her way home may prove more difficult than she imagined.

MY THOUGHTS

I have always enjoyed Denise Hunter's writing, she writes a great story, and Dancing with Fireflies brought back memories of my own dancing with fireflies...only we called them lightening bugs!

It's always frustrating when one person is in love with another who just doesn't return the favor, well, maybe returns the favor, only in a sisterly way!

Secrets never help either......

Daniels' parents are a couple of people who are extremely difficult to like and of course cause grief, but it's  all very well made up for with the McKinley family.  A sweet love story, with a few twists and turns, nothing too extreme, just a nice lazy day read.
