Drew Sellers is figuring out what he's going to do now that an injury has forced him to retire from professional sports. He doesn't know quite what to do with himself, but when he runs into a very old acquaintance, his life is going to change yet again. Turns out he has a twelve year old daughter he never knew about...and her mother is terminally ill. 
 Peyton has a successful career in New York, and when she comes to Chicago to help her sister and daughter, she becomes friends with Drew as he's getting to know his daughter. I loved this first part of this story. There's a ton of emotion here -- Drew's interest in his daughter, his budding relationship with Peyton, all dealing with the loss of a parent. I thought Kelly Jamieson did a wonderful job of keeping this from getting too maudlin, while giving a realistic portrayal of the final moments of someone's life. Make no mistake, this book has some sad parts to it, but it is balanced nicely with the happy. 
 As Drew gets to know his daughter, Peyton is faced with a tough decision between Chicago and New York once she becomes Chloe's guardian. And then there's what she feels for Drew. 
 I really liked Dancing in the Rain. It had a ton of feelings, which I love. Drew, Peyton and Chloe held my interest throughout the book and I really liked them. In spite of the sad circumstances of the book, it left me feeling good, and I liked that too. 
 If you are looking for a secret-baby romance that is both sad and sweet, you might like Dancing in the Rain.
