Dancing with Tad by Sam Cheever
Publisher: Red Rose Publishing
Genre: Urban Fantasy, Mystery/Suspense
Review Copy Received from Publisher
Summary: Something strange is going on in Grooster, Indiana. Nightly Satanic rituals in the park and the infusion of drugs into the community have everyone on edge. When Clancy Rogers’ daughter, The Princess, comes up missing, Clancy takes to the proverbial trail to find her.
Unfortunately that trail is littered with a weird and wacky cast of characters, including a palm raping psychic with a rabid love of chocolate snack cakes, a Shakespearean wanna-be reporterette who gets pelted with dog poop while spying on the Satanists.
A local veterinarian who looks like he was dropped to Earth from the planet Zorgon and who holds conversations with his patients on a regular basis. Add to this mix a guy who looks really hot in tight jeans and scuffed boots, but who unfortunately likes to follow all the rules Clancy keeps stomping on, and you have trouble in Grooster with a capital T…A…D!
Melissa’s Review: Dancing with Tad by Sam Cheever is a long novel at over four hundred pages. This book is filled with witty humor and sarcasm. I found myself laughing over and over again while reading Dancing with Tad. Ms. Cheever definitely gets a little wordy with her descriptions of simple, everyday scenes. Normally, I would have to say that this is a bad thing when reading a romantic suspense story. However, I couldn’t help but love every minute of it. After all, who would have thought that the simple act of letting your dogs inside could turn
into a hilarious tale, sure to leave the reader in a fit of giggles? I received countless weird looks from my husband while reading Dancing with Tad. He is used to me reading a lot, but laughing out loud while reading a romance book is a bit out of the norm for me.
The plot is a serious one. I did feel like it jumped around a bit, but I followed along quite well with very little confusion. There was a definite element of suspense, which always makes for an engrossing story, if it is well-written. I would have liked a little more focus on the romance between Thaddeus and Clancy, but I doubt that would have resulted in near as much humorous entertainment.
Overall, Dancing with Tad was a delightful book. I have never read a book by Sam Cheever, and I just have to pick up another. I wonder if she fills all of her work with her witty descriptions and feisty dialogue.
