About this listen

Dance was my obsession. Desire was my undoing.

***

As a young dancer, Sylvie Carter has a list of rules for making it big in the ballet world. Avoid drama. Don’t do drugs. Skip dessert. And of course, never sleep with another dancer. Ballet is a cutthroat profession, and she can’t afford a scandal.

Not again…

But when she meets renowned Italian dancer Alessandro Russo, an electrifying encounter has her throwing out the rulebook. And as he tempts her into the darkness she swore she’d left behind, she wonders if this relationship will be the making of her… or if it will cost her everything.

‘[An] erotic novel that pulses with Black Swan energy… combining the artistry of The Red Shoes with the eroticism of Fifty Shades of Grey.’ Entertainment Weekly

If this life in the corps then I am glad I opted for another profession. Bit boring.

I'm interested in ballet & so was looking forward to this book. But it was more about the sex lives of the characters than anything else!

More sex than ballet!

Serves me right perhaps for daring to hope that a mills & boon might not be terrible but wow this was beyond the pale. Worst writing I’ve read in a very long time

Offensively bad
