About this item

Step one: take a leap. Step two: kiss in the rain. Step three: fall in love.

Saylor McGinnis is newly engaged to the man of her dreams, and she's moved halfway across the country to be with him. But the dream turns sour, and her anxiety takes over when she no longer belongs. Desperate to find her footing, Saylor joins a local dance studio in an attempt to make friends. She never expects that one dance, or more specifically, her new dance instructor, will change her life in such drastic ways.

Tia Schroeder is family to everyone, but she's never believed she could fall in love. For decades, raising her two nieces was her entire life, and she only ever had time for a surface-level fling. Never one to ignore the value of experience, Tia understands she's not the ideal woman for most people. When her newest student at the studio shows promise, Tia must decide if waiting for love is worth the risk.

Will Saylor and Tia save the last dance? Or will they continue to navigate the complicated steps of love and lust?

Want a steamy, sapphic age gap romance with a younger MC gay-for-you twist? With an ice queen in the mix, how can you go wrong? Follow Saylor as she discovers exactly who she is and paves her own path, all while falling hard for a woman who is determined to keep her life just as it is.

    Saylor McGinnis has just moved to Seattle with her fiancé and isn’t feeling happy about it. Jameson travels extensively and she is lonely, depressed and can’t find a job. On a whim, she takes a dance class, having been a competitive skater, and meets Tia Schroder,the studio owner and primary instructor. A hot, sapphic romance with lots of drama and passion. Great series.

    I had a little difficulty trying to understand Saylor’s anxiety. I have it myself, but I usually know my mind. I guess different strokes for different folks! Overall, I thought is was good.

    This book was written well. I enjoyed how Saylor found herself all while,losing herself at the same by ending an engagement with Jameson that she thought she wanted. Her new relationship with Tia turned into everything she ever wanted .. to genuinely be loved and fall in love. They worked together to get to their final unity.

    This story is so good and I expected nothing less from this Author. I need to listen to this with Quinn and Lori as narrators, so here's hoping that an audiobook is made. I can't wait to continue following this family and finally meet Monti in her own story in Shameless Expectations.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Coming out story
    Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2024
    "Follow my Lead" is a late-in-life coming-out story about Saylor, who has moved to Seattle to be near her fiancé. She struggles with the move and decides to join a dance studio to make friends, which is owned by Tia. Saylor is drawn to Tia, but there's a problem - Saylor is straight and engaged to a man. The book depicts their ups and downs, and personally, Saylor's indecisiveness frustrated me. It seemed like Tia was being played by Saylor, and I felt bad for her. If you enjoy angsty books with frustrating moments, you might love this one.
