We continue the journey with Roxie and Lincoln, who are finally starting to acknowledge their feelings (to themselves, not eachother yet), her ex Nathan still causing trouble, Roxie's past and present coming closer together, discovering the conection of Summers other series, Twisted, and one heck of a cliffhanger, like I said I'm on edge waiting for the next book!!! I highly recommend this series!!!!

I received a free ARC copy from the author and freely give my honest review

This is the third book in the Barre To Bar Series and ends with a cliffhanger. Once you start reading you won't be able to put Roxie and Lincoln's story down. Their chemistry is off the charts but secrets and danger lurk in the background. This is an amazing series and this book really takes it up a notch. A page turner that you don't want to miss. I read an advance copy via Bad Boy Update and voluntarily chose to review it.

This contemporary romance is page-turning with exceptional world-building and characters that are realistic and captivating. Their journey is enthralling with the dancing with doubt, a billionaire second chance romance with best friend's brother, a sizzling hot romance with a twist, betrayal, life in danger, enemies-to-lovers, a secret baby, stripper/CEO romance, action, adventure, deception, heartfelt emotions, and more. I recommend reading this book by an extraordinary author who knows how to captivate her readers' hearts and attention with dancing with doubt and an explicit billionaire second chance romance that is sure to take readers on an exhilarating roller coaster ride that is unforgettable.

Enjoy this steamy CEO billionaire series by USA Today Bestselling dark contemporary romance author Summer Cooper!

She plays hide. He plays seek.
Except she disappeared for a reason.
Because her life was in danger.

After all these years, Roxie still has no idea if it’s safe to come out of hiding.
It’s not a risk that she’s willing to take.
But the more time she spends with Lincoln, the more he reminds her of who she used to be.

Just as she thought he could keep her safe...
Someone from her past shows up.
Feeling betrayed, Roxie now has to face things she wasn’t ready to deal with.

How much more trouble will Lincoln bring her?
Can she really trust him?

This smokin' hot book is perfect for fans of Becka Mack, Melanie Harlow, Ivy Smoak, Roxy Sloane and Ava Gray.

This third book in the love story between Lincoln and Roxie(Chloe) is another cliffhanger forcing me to go against my rule of no five stars for cliffhangers AGAIN and Summer Cooper gives us no hope the next book is the end either! After a lovely time in Cambodia, Lincoln tries ignoring her but gives up and calls her back to his house, where his sister and her childhood BBF, June, surprised her by answering the door while Lincoln disappeared, calling for lots of explanation. After she told him at her apartment, she didn't want to see him ever again, her ex beats her into a concussion and Lincoln comes over, packs her up, and takes her to his house. Interesting that Keily and Logan (Twisted Intentions) turn out to be Logan's neighbors and Keily is enrolled in Roxie's dance class and is in fact the one who called the police. Seems Summer decided to stop after two books into Barre To Bar to give us two books of Twisted, then Book 3, this one in Barre To Bar, then a third in Twisted later this month and then return to do Book 4 in Barre to Bar, which may not be the last. Humm.... It's a good thing she is such a good author!

SUMMER COOPER IS AN UNSTOPPABLE AUTHOR

Often times, I have stated that there is just something about Ms. Summer Cooper's writing style that makes her a must read Author of incredibly delicious romance. This entire Series, Barre To Bar, is exactly that; deliciously addicting.

From the very first book, we were introduced to Chloe, aka Roxie, and Lincoln. These two uniquely crafted characters are expertly designed for you to see they belong together. However, an unfortunate series of events from the past and present are keeping them apart. What happens next? Well, I truly hope that all fans of dramatic and intriguing steamy romance (that gets you right in the heart), will read along and find out.

I can promise you that this is one Series that is going to stay with me, Fiction, or not.

I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader's copy, from The Bad Boy Update, of Dancing With Doubt in exchange for my honest and voluntarily given opinion.

I can not wait to read Ms. Cooper's next installment for these two amazing characters.

This is the 3rd installment in Summer Cooper’s Barre to Bar Series and like the other books it does end in a cliffhanger.
Most of the time books that end in a cliffhanger I steer away from. I’m impatient & want my ending right away but for a very few select Authors they have a writing flair that it doesn’t seem like the story isn’t finished & that you’ve just ended in a cliffhanger. Summer Cooper is one of those select few that have perfected this art form, which in my opinion isn’t easy. JK Rowling did it with many of the books in the Harry Potter series.

In Dancing with Doubt we again find Roxie and Lincoln being tested but not just by event of Roxie’s past but also current events as well. You can feel their passion for one another artfully written through the pages. Will they be able to finally get the ending they both deserve. Read along this beautifully written series to find out.

Through Summer Cooper’s email list I volunteered to receive an ARC to read & give a honest review of this book. I was extremely lucky I was picked as one of her readers.

Holy moly! Roxie/Chloe is finally getting used to having Lincoln around when he decides to become distant with her. When she gets a text that he needs her she rushes over to see him, only its not him at the door. Her best friend, and Lincolns sister opens the door. Now Roxie has to begin to deal with her past and her feelings for Lincoln. The more Lincoln tries to keep from falling for Roxie, the more he falls, even with the knowledge of what really happened to her parents. Soon Roxie's ex is back and she is in danger once again. Once again, I wanted to yell at the ending because I don't want to wait to read what happens next!!!! I'm loving this series. I received this ARC from Bad Boy Updates.

The saga continues with Lincoln and Roxie(aka Chloe) back from Cambodia. Lincoln has been avoiding Roxie since their return but finally breaks down and calls her to come over. The only problem is his sister shows up and Lincoln leaves the house so Roxies is greeted by Emily who is shocked to see her long list best friend on her brothers door step. Roxie’s ex is still a big problem for them causing trouble at every turn. I really enjoy this series but I would love the ability to read it all at once instead of having to wait for the next book to be published. Hopefully it will be offered as a box set once it’s all published.

[Kathleen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Book 3 continues with Lincoln and Roxie seeing each other outside tge expired contract.
They still can't find their footing with each other. Neither wants to admit that their feelings are real.
Nathan, Roxie's ex, makes several appearance and only brings trouble.
Roxie's past also returns in the form of Lincoln's sister June, Roxie's childhood best friend.
Roxie is also surrounding herself with strong females. Actually putting herself out there.
I will admit this book had some slow spots, I kind of wanted a faster pace.
It ends with a cliff hanger of sorts but it may cause Roxie and Lincoln to admit their feelings.
And who did Roxie call to cancel an appointment?

[Renee Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story continues with Lincoln & Roxie's "I hate you" feelings. These two are starting to realize their hate feelings in their younger years, is re-examined in their adult minds. Seeing it in a different light, they now know this is actually true love for each other. If only they would tell each other their true feelings is not based on the contract they agreed to & is more than physical attraction. The ex-boyfriend, Nathan shows up & creates trouble for these two. An excellent story to bridge into book 4. Yup, this is a cliff-hanger novel but soooooo worth it!

I volunteered to read this ARC & leave an honest review!

Once they are back from their trip Lincoln tries to ignore Roxie. When Lincoln isn't at his place when she gets there but his sister is Roxie is about to give up.

Lincoln comes for Roxie after learning what has happened and takes her home with him. Will they finally get thinsg together? What will happen to her ex?

This is another great installment I couldn't put it down once I started it. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

[Rosemary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such as addictive series and the relationship between Chloe/Roxie and Lincoln had my head spinning with the turn of each page. So many twists and turns and the danger Nathan seems intent to inflict left me reeling. These two need to get on the same page for longer than a few weeks at a time. After their time in Cambodia where they were finally able to acknowledge their mutual feelings for each other, they arrive home, and Lincoln seems to have a change of heart and becomes distant from Roxie once again. Another cliffhanger where I can't wait to see what happens next.

4.5 Stars!
After how things ended from the last book, I was a bit annoyed with Lincoln. But…things happen that help him start to put things in perspective, especially his feelings!
Roxie also had some frustrating moments where I felt she was just being stubborn. She too seems to have started realize her true feelings.
Just when things seem to be going right and smooth, something major and unexpected happens! Will Roxie and Lincoln get a chance at their HEA??
I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!

[K. Smock · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the third book of the Barre to Bar series and it does not disappoint. The story of Lincoln and Roxie continues. Their contract has ended though they are still seeing each other. More about Lincoln’s feelings and though Roxie is stubborn at times and has lots of frustration. Things are just starting to go right for the two when of course there is a twist. Looking forward to seeing how it ends up in the fourth and last book.

I voluntarily wrote this review from reading an advanced copy of this book.

[_booknerd.4ever_ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another cliffhanger! I’m so glad that Roxie and Lincoln are figuring things out. Again I can’t put the book down once I start reading. I do have to say thanks to Summer - I now know that Keily and Logan from another series get their HEA. The chemistry with Lincoln and Roxie is still off the charts explosive. I totally love this couple and all their friends! I can’t wait to see how it all ends.

[Emma · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sneaky, sneaky cliffhanger. This certainly feels like the story will become more complicated before it resolves itself. The immediate problem isn't an issue really, they'll fix that easily, but who is this new person? What is Roxie hiding? More questions than answers right now, so I can't wait for the next book. The series so far has had a more mature and serious theme, very intriguing and very character focused.

I received an ARC for an honest and voluntary review.

Roxi and Lincoln’s story continues in this third book, ends on a cliffhanger( flipping heck summer what are you doing to us? Lol) I am hooked. This series just gets better and better, the writing is on point and I’m still invested and more to the point interested. Can not wait for more. I read this arc in exchange for an honest review. I can honestly say this is unputdownable ( if that’s even a word! It should be if not )

[Sammye · Rating 5 out of 5]

As book #3 in the Barre to Bar series continues, Lincoln and Roxie are not sure if what the feel for each other is love or just lust. Roxie’s ex, Nathan, is still causing havoc and determined to extort money from her to support his drug habit. There’s a lot of danger, drama, suspense and passionate “encounters”. There’s a dramatic cliffhanger. I’m anxious to see what follows in book #4. *this honest review is based on a complimentary copy from the author*

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dancing With Doubt is book three of the Barre To Bar series and the continuation of Roxie and Lincoln's journey of love. Their contract is over but they are still seeing each other and no matter how much they fight it will they get their happily ever after? Well, we don't find out in this book because it ends in a cliffhanger so now I patiently wait for book four to find out what happens next. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

We are in book 3 and I am still loving this story!! It is another cliff-hanger and an exciting one at that. Things are starting to change in their relationship and the past is coming back, not sure if that is good or not yet.
There are still 2 more books and in my little brain I can't imagine what else will happen but I know SC will make it great and exciting!!

Roxie and Lincoln's drama continues, and their character is still being tested. Right when Roxie thought that the danger from her past was behind her it comes rearing its ugly head, but they also have issues with themselves as well. Do they have what it takes to make it to the next step, and will Lincoln be able to keep Roxie safe to get their chance for happiness. This story kept me glued to the pages.

They were still in their own headspace’s dealing with feelings. Something bad happens that finally brings them even closer. Then something no one expected happens that is going to test them both. I don’t understand how this guy just keeps getting away. I would have thought at least Kai would have had someone close by but no one was there.

The contract has expired, and Lincoln and Roxie are still seeing each other. What are they feeling for each other – is it lust? Is it obsession? Or is it love? Nathan is back and causing problems – will Lincoln be able to help protect Roxie?

What will happen when June (Chloe’s best friend and Lincoln’s sister) shows up and runs into Chloe? Another cliffhanger! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Dancing With Doubt is the third book in the Barre To Bar series by Summer Cooper. This well written romance has a great storyline, well-developed characters, drama, secrets, off-the-charts chemistry, danger, and suspense. Dancing With Doubt does end on a cliffhanger.

I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

[Tammy]

This is the 3rd book in the series and I do recommend reading them in order. Roxie and Lincoln aren’t really sure what their feelings really are for each other and her past is still causing issues for her. Will Roxie and Lincoln find a way to be together or will her past destroy their relationship? Fast-paced read with plenty of twists and turns, load of drama and steam. I liked it.

[KReader · Rating 5 out of 5]

Waiting Impatiently

This is book 3 in the series and does end on a cliff so do not expect an HEA here. That said, each book pulls me deeper into Roxie and Lincoln's story and I cannot get enough. I am waiting impatiently for the next book.

I read a free copy of this book and this is my voluntary review.

[Lena · Rating 4 out of 5]

Were getting on with the story and Lincoln and Roxie is continuing their relationship and trying to understand what it is.
I felt a little bit as a ’middle book’ that you need to be able to continue and finish.
It was nice to meet all the characters again.

This is the third book in Lincoln and Roxie's love story. The author once again finds them facing both past and present issues. Through it all you can feel their emotions and love. She kept me glued to the pages and left me wanting more with the cliffhanger ending.

The Barre To Bar Series #3! And, I'm coming back for more!

This series has definitely kept me engaged and needing to know more!

Roxie and Lincoln's dynamic is fascinating!

I absolutely love the suspense. The twists and turns! The emotion!

This series has me hooked, and there is absolutely no way I'm not finishing it! NO WAY!

OMG This series is blowing my mind. Dancing With Doubt book 3 in the Barre To Bar Series by Summer Cooper continues to pull me into Roxy and Lincoln's story. The chemistry between Lincoln and Roxy is off the charts but secrets abound. And twists and turns are around every corner,. What a cliffhanger! Can't wait for the next book.
