Anybody read this book? I like romantic novels. It relaxes me.
here is what dancesportinfo said:
Strictly Love the new novel by Chic Lit author Julia Williams, is a romantic comedy about four people attending ballroom dance classes. In her new novel Julia harnesses the UK's newfound passion for Ballroom Dancing inspired by the television series Strictly Come Dancing. As research for her novel Julia took dance classes with the acclaimed dancer and teacher Izabela Hannah. Izabela is renowned on the dance circuit having won many titles throughout Europe and the USA and more recently appearing on the third series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2005. Izabela taught Julia the Foxtrot, Tango and the Rumba, all dances which feature heavily in the book.
While Julia enjoyed Ballroom Dancing before she wrote the book, she says she is now a huge fan and has the greatest admiration for professional dancers who are able to master such a difficult and spellbinding sport. When asked about why she chose to write about Ballroom Dancing Julia said "I love dancing myself and writing a romantic novel I think it's a perfect fit because so many people meet through dancing, it's a romantic thing to do. I've got people doing the Rumba and the Tango in the book and these are situations that could be a bit awkward when you have to dance sexily with someone, which makes for a brilliant story".
Strictly Love by Julia Williams is published by Avon on the 20th October RRP £6.99.
