The Storm Before the Calm

Charlie has one passion in life: dancing. It’s his salvation when it feels like the world is swallowing him whole. When his mom secretly secures him a spot in the summer intensive at the Free Rein Dance Company in New York, he is thrilled. He knows that once the summer ends, he'll have to return to Beacon to get a job and help support his family, but for those two months, he can spread his wings.
In New York he meets Max, a junior instructor who is everything Charlie wishes he could be. Bold and self-assured, Max radiates pride in who he is. As they spend time together, Max shows Charlie what life can be like past the walls of his closed-minded home town. But Charlie doesn’t know if he’s ready to show the world who he truly is when standing in the spotlight is the last thing he wants.

What People Are Saying About The Storm Before The Calm
This is a feel good story that will fill a summer afternoon at the beach or a quiet evening at home. I couldn’t put it down. Ms. Ashwood knows dance and she knows romance. Putting them together in one story shows she also knows the art and craft of writing.

I LOVED this book. It was sexy, sweet, and a little angsty. I love when an author can make me feel, and I felt this book.
