Dancing with Bees

By: Anna Maynard

Narrated by: Sonya Kerr

One chaotic hip-hop dancer with no direction in life. One outrageously handsome scientist who is determined to go back to the Antarctic. Over a shared interest in beekeeping, things start to heat up. But can the path to true love ever flow as smoothly as honey?

Sunny Moritz needs a change. She’s thirty-three, single, weary of tedious romances with the wrong kind of men and, according to her disappointed parents, drifting about like a tumbleweed. Her former high school crush, orthopaedic surgeon Adam Harrison, might be meeting all her physical demands (and requiring a subtotal of zero emotional headspace), but what about the rest of her life?

When Sunny decides to start beekeeping, the man with the information she needs is an odd, enigmatic and indecently sexy Antarctic scientist. Surely, though, she's way too pragmatic to be affected by his magnetism …

But as her hunger for meaning starts to bloom, Sunny begins to think that maybe it’s not too late to reconnect with her parents, maybe it’s time to start dancing again and maybe even she could have a lasting relationship.

Dancing with Bees is easy to listen to, but hard to turn off. In the tradition of Emily Henry and Marian Keyes, this delightful novel bubbles with charm, warmth and humour, but also speaks of the important things in life–like love.

‘A laugh-out-loud funny debut that’s both sexy and heartfelt. A real winner!’ MAYA LINNELL
