One of the best book I've read in a long time, the storyline is awesome, the characters are strong and likable, the love scenes are HOT. Three very different people finding love, there is no better feeling.
It left me in a 'feel-good' giddy state and wanting more, can't wait to read some more in this series.
Heather I love your mind!!! and I hope you will keep on writing!

Another great Divine Creek book. Loved how the relationship between Camilla , Ben & Quinten developed. I am glad that Grace and her men were part of the book. I hope the "Bears" are in an upcoming book!

Camilla goes about her job as assistant manager at The Dancing Pony with boundless energy in outfits designed to distract. Her plans for owning her own nightclub are a driving force within her. She’d left the world of stripping and pole dancing at a gentlemen’s club behind to pursue her dreams but finds Ben and Quinten an increasing distraction from her goals. Can she handle mixing business with pleasure when her men decide it’s time to claim her?
The Dancing Pony has figured prominently in all of the Divine Creek series and now it is the primary setting of a polyamorous love triangle that is a study in delayed gratification. Certainly the heroine, former exotic dancer Camilly O’Neal, has more than sufficient reasons for wanting to establishing a strictly professional relationship with the two men who are her constant companions and with whom she has a close working situation. Throughout this series The Dancing Pony has always been a club that enforces sane and safe entertainment, strictly enforcing good behavior and respectful behavior toward women and keeping violent encounters far removed from its premises. So Camilla’s attitude does indeed fit into the kind of working environment that co-owner Ben Lawrence (together with Grace’s husband, Ethan) want to always maintain. But for once, their almost overwhelming desire to begin a long-term relationship with Camilla is now in jeopardy.
This is another wonderful story set in the fictional community of Divine, Texas, populated by all kinds of people, many of whom live in committed polyamorous relationships. It is also a community situated in what is fondly referred to as “the Bible Belt” so that such relationships are difficult for some to tolerate and that kind of prejudice has been featured in several of the Divine Creek novels. However, these intrepid souls, those who know who they love and how they wish to live, seem to be determined to live according to their own rules, recognizing that love deserves to be expressed in as many ways as people can conceive, with the understanding that it is authentic, caring, nurturing, respectful and consensual. This book really chronicles the ways that these two men support and nurture Camilla’s dream, knowing that giving her this dream may well be the path into her heart.
Best of all, the author’s writing skills just keep on growing and her capacity to tell a good story, evident from book one, keeps on keeping on. It’s the kind of expertise that makes these stories come alive, that makes these characters leap off the page and assume almost realistic life of their own. Those of us who have read all the novels and have re-read many of them, know that these people could easily exist in an American community. Their lives, their loves, their challenges, their hurts and wounds, are the stuff of normal human living and bringing them alive in these books is done only by an author who has that sense of what people are really about, who lives in the moment and understands how people feel and how the expressions of those feelings can come alive even in a fictional work. That’s one of the reasons I am always delighted when a new Heather Rainier book appears.
This novel was released at the end of 2012 but I hope you’ll get it and enjoy it as much as I did. You owe it to yourself to get acquainted with these delightful people.
I happily give this novel a rating of 5 out of 5.

Ben and Quinten want Camilla, bad. But she has a rule and they don’t want to ruin things with her before anything ever gets started. Leave it to a little competition to finally make them show Camilla that some rules are made to be broken.
Camilla is a sassy, energetic assistant manager at the club Ben co-owns, and Quinten works at as head bartender. She is great at what she does and when she starts wearing “costumes” to work, the men are positive it’s just to tease them. Of course it brings in more customers and gains more tips for her but it also makes control a hard to reach thing for Ben and Quinten. They have both lusted over this woman for years and decided to partner up and build a life in hopes of Camilla one day joining them.
A series of shady events bring the threesome together outside of work, and for Camilla the line she had drawn in the sand–work is work and pleasure is pleasure–is starting to blur. But she’s had feelings for both men for a while and decides to take the bulls by the horns. All the while Camilla is getting closer to realizing her dream of opening her own club with the help of a guardian angel, and some really great friends. Danger is lurking and Camilla struggles to let her men protect her and keep her safe because no one has ever cared enough too. The men work to destroy the walls she’s built, yet she manages to complete and heal the men at the same time.
Tiny Dancer is another great addition to the Divine Creek family. Ben and Quiten are great characters individually but together they are like the two halves of the ying and yang and Camilla is the energy that sets it spinning. Ben is dark and intense as Quiten is light an easy going while Camilla is like the sun and full of energy and brightness. This trio is a wonderful compliment to each other, probably the best of all.
One of the things I really liked about this book is that Camilla was a very sensual person and she really embraced that. We typically see heroines needing to be brought out of their shell, a la Grace from book one or Dr. Emma from book 9, but here Camilla was not only a former exotic dancer but also part of the lifestyle that is BDSM. I felt that this particular book was more sexually charged overall whereas most of the previous books start off sweet and loving before turning the sex factor up to full blast. Camilla, Ben and Quinten scorch the pages from beginning to end.
Heather Rainier has done a great job again with adding interesting secondary characters, setting up potential protagonists for future books and not recycling any previous tales in her ever expanding city of Divine, Texas. I personally think it should be called Smexyville R US, where there is something in the water they should bottle and sell. But that’s just me.
I don’t think I can sing anymore praises for this book or series, so if you are not reading it you are missing out. But if you are with me on this ride, you’ll know how excited I am to see where we go next.

I have been reading the Divine Creek Ranch (DCR) series by Heather Rainier for years. Tiny Dancer is book 13 in the series, and I was curious to see where it would go, given the people involved. The general formula for the DCR series is somehow biologically related men have held on to the dream of having a polyamorous, ménage relationship, where in they both/all (usually two or three men involved) share a wife. There is no relationship between the men, other than that of teamwork to support and care for the family, with all their focus on their chosen wife.
This time, though, as with a couple of forays into shorter stories previously in the series, there is no relation between the men, and this time, no long term dream of having this kind of relationship. Instead, Ben and Quinten work with Ethan Grant, one of the men from the very first book of the series, and this is how they become familiar with the lifestyle.
Because of the way the series is constructed, I expected—and got—a formulaic love story. One of the joys of Rainier’s writing is that she’s a good enough author to make each story different, with new details, plot twists, and so on. Camilla’s particular band of trouble. Is a little scary, but it’s very much secondary to this strong, capable woman doing what she wants to do.
In the end, Tiny Dancer is a romance novel: girl gets with boy(s), shenanigans and drama happen, big, scary thing happens, everyone gets together and lives happily ever after. You’re getting what you pay for. Rainier just happens to make it a completely enjoyable romp through an alternative lifestyle.

As these characters have appeared in the Divine Creek series, readers have become involved in their lives and for all of us who love these books, we are profoundly delighted when long-time characters like Quinn and Ben finally find their "one." Yet there is that protracted tensions that Ms Rainier so often brings into her stories, especially in a professional situation like Camilla, Ben and Quinn find themselves in. It is a book that will delight those who love this series and for those just discovering, starting at book one will make the subsequent books so much more meaningful. Last but certainly not least, Ms Rainier's writing talent continues to grow and develop to such an extent that she puts her stories together with skill, keeping the plot and overall story line always as her guides, and yet never loses that sense of human emotion that inevitably drives all of us. The menage is filled with hot loving but there is that underlying caring, that respect and cherishing that has always marked the relationships in Heather's books. It's a fantastic read and still one of my favorites. I'm due to re-read it very soon.

Great addition to the series. I am a HUGE fan of Heather Rainier and of this series. Tiny Dancer is a perfect example of why I love this series so much. It definitely is one of my favorites out of the series.
Loved Camilla, Ben and Quinten. I loved how Ben was more serious and Quinten was playful. The scenes with Quinten's family were so funny!! Of course there was smoking hot sex!! ;p I LOVED the scene with them all in the bathroom, when they realized she could be pregnant and I loved when they found out it was twins!!! SO GOOD!!
LOVED the Bears and I am crossing my fingers that they get their own book as well as Beck and Patrick with Seth's sister. And of course I LOVED reading about Jack, Ethan, Adam and Grace who even after all these books still remain my favorites!!
Tiny Dancer is definitely a keeper and will be reread.
5 out of 5 rating!!

4.75 stars
Loved this one! Sooooooooo sweet!!!
On the upside, we have some new characters who will hopefully be in the next books, and there are still a few that haven't yet found true love (most notably Patrick and Hank Stinson).
I really recommend this series, and if you want to read it, start at book 1 "Divine Grace". The characters and the town are interwoven and I think reading it in order gives the best satisfaction. This is one of those series that has mostly menage relationships, hunky guys, HEAs, suspense, and sometimes, babies.

This is the hottest of the Divine Creek Ranch series couples, thus far. After two years of not mixing business with pleasure, these three have enough pent-up sexual frustration for several books! When a broke down car leaves Camilla stranded in a rain storm, Ben and Quentin seize the opportunity to show her just how good it can be--and trust me, it is good!. As she learns to trust that she can depend upon others, Camilla opens her heart. Grace and her men make appearances and we meet some new characters as a threatening character shadows her happiness.

I really enjoyed the story of Ben, Quinten, and Cailla. They were great well developed characters. I loved their individual stories and in ture Rainier fashion, the way they came together was HOT HOT HOT! I can't wait to read more of Divine. I can't get enough of the endless positive regard the characters (both main and supporting) have for one another. I'm guessing the three bears are next???? :)

I loved how Ben and Quentin realized that they loved Camilla and came up with a game plan to go after her together. It seemed like their plan stunned Camilla a bit, but she quickly was all in. I really liked how as they maneuvered the new relationship they all talked about concerns and how the guys helped Camilla's dream come true. I really liked the role that Quentin's parents played and how they weren't thrown by their son's new relationship.

October 17, 2015Camilla, Ben, and Quinten are so great together ! Wonderful story, interesting characters, hot steamy romantic sex, and a suspenseful plot. All the ingredients for a terrific tale. I love this town and the people who live there. It just gets better and better. I enjoy revisiting people from past stories, catching up with their lives and loves. Heather Rainier writes a beautiful story, time and time again. Highly recommended. ENJOY !!

Another awesome book!!! I loved that it was like spending the holidays in Divine!!! While I really enjoyed Ben/Camilla/Quintin story I kept getting distracted by some sexy new characters Heath, Cody and Spencer!! The bears need a story ASAP!!! I am also ready for Hank to have his HEA!!! Great writing and perfect amount of steamy to compliment a great story!!

Camilla has come to the point in her life where she can be honest with herself if with no one else..she's in love with both Ben and Quinten...the men have known since first setting eyes on her that they love her and with the house ready for her now is the time to let her know they feel, but is it too little too late....wonderful story very cute...onto the next

I've loved this series but this instalment was boring. Flat line boring. It all seemed to happen so quickly.
I'll admit I loved the initial development of Camille, Ben and Quinten but there wasn't enough of it. Pretty disappointing.

Guess I'm a sucker for a good romance. I love the divine creek series each and every story is special and the polyamorous relationships Heather Rainier writes about come to life for me. So I give this a big 4.5 Yipee!!!

Not surprising, Heather Rainier has written another great book! I enjoy her books so much that if I see one on the shelf or online that I haven't read, I will automatically get it because I KNOW it will be good!!!!

I cant get enough of these Divine Creek books! They are always HOT, steamy and just so romantic that i wish i could just jump in the book and find my own Divine men. Heather Rainier does a terrific job creating a fun and steamy novel!

Ben and Quinten are willing to do anything, for the woman they want. From helping her open another bar, to playing all kinds of naughty games! Camilla is one lucky lady!
