Dancing Under Fire
Andy, a romantic idealist, spends his days thinking about the woman of his dreams. The only problem is, he hasn’t met her yet. When his best friend talks Andy into seeing the world, a trip to volunteer in a Mexican village destroyed by a cyclone seems to be the perfect opportunity. After all, what better way to express his altruistic values than to help a poverty-stricken village halfway across the globe? But when Andy meets beautiful, seductive Lizzy, he strays from the path that he's set for himself, and he finds himself confronted with an impossible choice. In this tale of romance and redemption, Andy will discover that he hasn't come to Mexico to save the village. He's come to learn a powerful lesson.

I would give it a 3+. The story was a clean romance about faith and redemption. Andy went with his friend to volunteer to help a cyclone damaged village in Mexico recover. While there, he met Lizzy, who was a seductress who didn't seem to care who she hurt. When Andy fell victim to her charms and the alcohol, he immediately regretted what he had done. Unfortunately, he had forgotten that, just like all sinners, he too could be forgiven. Finally, he received the redemption he was seeking and able to move forward with his life again.
This was an interesting short story and was a quick read. I like a good clean faith-based romance but I don't particularly like preachy stories. This bordered a little on the preachy side.
I was given an arc copy of this book and I willingly offer my honest review.
