When love comes knocking, check who's there before you open the door.

Tyrone Johnson is looking for The One. But what if the two applicants are his straight ex-best friend and the man who messed with Tyrone's teenaged heart?

His best friend Nat was always there for him until he dropped Tyrone in high school to run with the jocks and date the prom queen. Now he's back and wants Tyrone's forgiveness--and his heart.

Arnaud, the French choreographer who swept eighteen-year-old Tyrone off his feet, is also back. He's eager to reignite their hot affair after leaving it in the dust four years ago.

Which one can Tyrone trust not to abandon him again? And can he trust himself to make the right choice?

If you like second chance stories and sexy dancing, you'll love The Dancer's Dilemma.





My Rating - 3.5 Stars!

The Dancer's Dilemma is good second chance tale by CJane Elliott. The third book in the Campus Connections series, it's easily read as a standalone. 

Emotions are front and center throughout, as Tyrone is reunited with his former best friend Nat. 

Tyrone has two people pursuing him, one the former friend who he still resents for leaving him behind in high school. The other is his sleazy dance choreographer who he once was involved with. 

For the reader, there is never a doubt who he'll choose, so don't fret if you hate love triangles. For Tyrone, this is a tale of listening to Nat, accepting that he's genuine, and forgiving him. It isn't an easy journey for the two as they deal with their painful pasts. 

In addition, Tyrone has some decisions to make about his dancing career. 

I really love Tyrone, despite his mistakes. He's far too vulnerable, but downright lovable. After meeting him in the previous books in the series, it's great to see him find love. And if you've read the earlier books, you will gain a wonderful appreciation for all of his friends. 

As for Nat, it takes the reader a while to figure out what his deal is. But once we do, it's easy to forgive him for his past mistakes. I just wish I could have understood him a little sooner. 

And as far as Arnaud is concerned, I wanted him to die a painful death. The fact that Tyrone struggled so much with him ruined some of this for me.

Overall, The Dancer's Dilemma is a decent college romance. CJ Elliott adds in just the right amount of angst into this sweet tale of forgiveness. It's a sweet story of second chances at friendship, as well as love.
