A Midnight Dance

***Not For Me*** **** I will start by off saying I really loved the author's last book (The Love Note – 5 stars); this one just wasn't for me. Not every book will be a hit for every reader, so read other reviews and decide for yourself. This story just did not click for ME. I found Ella to be too wishy-washy. The mystery was too tangled. I did enjoy the circus barn which was less constrictive. Jack was wonderful except near the end when he learned Ella’s secret and decided it was unforgivable without even trying to understand her reasoning and talk through it as he'd forced her to do so often in other situations. It seemed out of character for him. Then they were apart far too long for it to make sense considering how he felt, how much time he had invested in her and how patient he had been with her. Even though God and scripture and hymns were woven throughout (loved that), the overall weight of the story seemed heavy to me and I cannot say I enjoyed it. Also, a missed opportunity not to include the red slippers on the cover. ********** I was gifted an eVersion of the book by NetGalley & the publisher.
