So the Heart Can Dance (Hidden Beauty Book 2) Kindle Edition

Sometimes to find yourself, you need to return to your one true love.

When Aidan O’Brien stumbles across Tara Isamu, she is nothing like the best friend he remembers and whom he’s loved since childhood. He scarcely recognizes the timid woman who stands in the place of a fearless competitor.

Life has changed them both.

Tara recalls that Aidan, the kid brother of her former dance partner, has always lived to make her laugh. If only she could figure out a way to break the news that her soul was crushed by a random act of violence.

Aidan has been in love with her as long as she can remember. Even so, Tara doesn’t know if the damaged version of herself is worth loving. It may be too much to ask of anyone.

Can they rekindle their love and grow strong in the power of music so their hearts can dance?

If you like characters with hidden strength, you’ll cheer for this couple as they overcome their pasts and triumph.

So the Heart Can Dance is the second clean and wholesome romance in the Hidden Beauty series. It can be read as a standalone novel.

Review

So the Heart Can Dance is amazing. As you follow Tara's & Aidan's journey you become so attached you will cheer for them, yell for them, and you will cry for them. Most of all you will LOVE them. The roller coaster of up and downs will leave you wanting more, while never guessing what is around the corner. Grab a box of Kleenex and one click. You will not regret it for a moment.--Michelle Elliot Storer--Books, Babes and Boyfriends Blog

Mary Crawford has been lucky enough to live her own version of a romance novel. She’s married to the guy who kissed her at summer camp. He told her on the night they met that he was going to marry her and be the father of their children. Eventually, she stopped giggling when he said it and he had the last laugh as they celebrate three decades of marriage.

They have two children. The oldest is a Doctor of Osteopathy. He is across the United States completing his residency, but when he’s done, he is going to come back to Oregon and practice Family Medicine. Their youngest son is in high school and hopes to be an EMT when he grows up.

Mrs. Crawford writes full time now. She has written and published over thirty books and has several more underway.

She volunteers her time to a variety of causes and has worked as a Civil Rights Attorney and diversity advocate. Mrs. Crawford spent many years working for various social service agencies before becoming an attorney.

In her spare time, she loves to cook, decorate cakes and of course, obsessively, compulsively read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Story With Plenty of Heart
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2015

I was recently introduced to Mary Crawford’s work and her unending loyalty to ventures that support women who have been abused or harmed through acts of violence. I admire anyone that goes out of their way to bring awareness to such causes and was happy to purchase a book that would be doing just that.

Love stories are not my typical genre of choice, so I purchased this one anticipating I would skim through it and be pleased that I had supported a worthy endeavor, if only in a small way. However, two chapters in, I was so involved with the main characters, Tara and Aidan, that I had to carefully read the entire book. I had originally anticipated a rather sappy romance, and there is an element of that, but there is so much more.

The book is written in a unique style: first person, but taken from the viewpoint of both Tara and Aidan. I enjoyed being able to see circumstance from each of their perspectives and know what they were thinking. It added depth to the story and its surroundings that brought a flare of warmth and realism to this reader. The storyline itself is far more than just a romance. The backstories for the main characters were articulate, with enough detail to make a connection with each, and that extended to the support players, as well. Aidan’s story had a bold impact on me personally, as I have a brother who survived a bout of meningitis that began as an ear infection. We nearly lost him, so, emotionally; Mary Crawford’s story touched my heart and lifted my soul.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s not quite as long as it looks: the last ~100 pages are an introduction into Book #3 of her series. I appreciated the links she included at the back, and the author’s urgency to shed light on stories like Tara’s. Recommended for men and women, there’s plenty of story here for anyone with a heart to dance.

Great story with a lot of heart. I love how the author draws you into the story and makes you feel romance is in the air. There is a certain quality to the writing that almost makes you feel as though you are floating through memories. The locations are sufficiently drawn that you can see, smell, hear the entire area. The characters are well drawn. I love how the characters from the first book continue in this one. It makes the story feel well rounded.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, very bad editing.
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2015
Verified Purchase
The story is good. But there are so many grammar and spelling mistakes that it seems this book completely skipped the editing portion of the book publishing process. It makes it difficult and distracting to read. I also can't get past the fact that this story begins at Jeff and Kiera's wedding that took place in Until the Stars Fall from the Sky but it's talking about the adoption of the little girls as if its already happened. But that didn't occur until AFTER the wedding. There are several locations throughout this novel where the main character's name is misspelled or the wrong character's name is used. It's incredibly distracting from the story. Of all things I believe this author needs to invest in a decent editor.

Aidan a love for Tara at six, then life and his body changed when he got meningitis. To find Tara once again, but,she showed no recognition of him. Finding out the trauma she has gone thru, has left her a shell of what she once was. He tells her he won’t leave, will she ever believe in him, and there be a wedding for her. The author handle the situation very well, and how she came to love herself and Aidan.

5.0 out of 5 stars interesting cozy mystery
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2023

The main characters are very interesting and different with a childhood history. The fact that Aiden is deaf and she is studying to be an interpreter for the deaf with sign language pulls them closer. A singing competition and volunteering to help with a camp for the deaf brings them closer using their gifts. I definitely recommend this book.

Adrian and Tara have loved each other since Elementary School , but haven't seen each other in over decade and a half. Adrian is still love with Tara, but can she get past being raped when she was fourteen?

A beautiful story of two people with different disabilities - Adrian being a deaf musician with a wonderful voice and Tara trying to move past what the rape has done to her. Come see how one man will fight for the woman he loves and show her that she is worth loving.

Loved it!!! I love how in depth and real these characters are. You root for them, struggle along with them, at some points want to reach in the book and strangle and/or yell at them! Without giving too much away, I'll just say that I LOVE the fact that it wasn't a typical ending and that things didn’t happen in s typical order. Can't wait to continue the series!!
