Praise for Too Hot to Tango

This adorable summer romance is sunshine-bright and filled with fun camp shenanigans and passionate dancing. Kearney's vivid, expressive art fills the pages and often bursts out of the panels' frames, giving the story extra energy. A light, charming romance that's as sweet and refreshing as ice cream on a hot day
Kirkus Reviews

Energetic and sunny full-color illustrations burst with feel-good fun and personality across movement-filled panels, adding buoyancy to a familiar yet sweeping story about leaving one's comfort zone. It's Dirty Dancing with a queer rom-com twist.
Publishers weekly

A delightful and coordinated LGBTQIA+ teen summer romance.
School Library Journal

Full of saturated colors and energy, the art shines when depicting the acrobatic and graceful dance move..For fans of High School Musical-style rivalries, opposites-attract narratives, and the passion of the tango.
