ARC: Summerween by Joss Wood
Halloween just got hotter…Professional dancer Wren Callahan’s plan for the summer is sip margaritas by the lake, bask in anonymity, and dodge any drama from her ex. Instead, her meddling godmother Luna –Halloween Town’s mayor and resident white witch – ropes her into choreographing a teen performance at the first Summerween festival.
Her most challenging student? Dane – a burned-out former trauma surgeon hiding out for the summer in Halloween Town. Despite his two left feet, he’s determined to prove to some of the uptight locals that guys can – and should – express themselves through dance.
As they learn new steps, and more about each other, will Summerween season work its magic on them? Or will the skeletons in their closets keep them apart?

What fun this book turned out to be. I very much enjoyed it. When I first saw it, I was so happy to have a small-town romance along with a little bit of PNR thrown in. Don't we all need that?
I loved both Wren and Dane and all their issues. And do they have issues. Don't we all. Both are dragged down by daddy issues. Wren by being abandoned and Dane by having a father that measures being a man by how tough you are.
The author did a good job of adding that stuff to the story without having it take it over. She was able to have us focus on Wren and Dane's relationship along with the people in both of their lives.
You'll also enjoy the ghosts even when you get a bit made at one of them. In the end even he learned that you have to have a balance in it. I can't wait to know more about the other ghosts too. I have a feeling they will be helping others in the next book.
My only wish is a bit more interaction between the characters and the ghosts. I know some can see and hear them, but I also felt like Dane could be then he didn't act on it. I wished her could have been more interactive with them.
Saying that it didn't take away from my enjoyment and this one turned out to be a one day read. Once I started it, I couldn't stop reading. There are at least two more books coming in the series and I can't wait.
