review 1: 4 Star Review by Jen SkewesCarter had been a dancer since he was very young. His goal was to be accepted to an elite school for ballet. And the truth is that whether Carter wanted that or not he had no choice. His parents put so much pressure on him to be the best, to the point that they were abusive both physically and mentally. Telling him how worthless he is and beating him if they felt he didn’t give it 100%. His parents were into drugs which in turn caused their death. But their death also had an affect on Carter as well. Something happened to him one night, which shattered his dreams of ever becoming a dancer. Carter was offered a position in Paris which seemed to be the best choice for him, giving that his career as a dancer was over. Noel is an amazing da... morence who could probably get into any school she wanted to. Well actually she did. She was accepted to the NYCB but her dream was to dance at the school that her deceased mother attended. It doesn’t matter that she is too good for the school in Paris. She wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps.While in Paris her first week she meets a stranger on the streets who in a way saved and helped her. That stranger ends up being Carter, her dance teacher. But he has no idea about their first meeting. Carter is a bit of a mystery to both Noel and the reader. There is definitely an attraction between the two of them but there is something about him that is a bit scary in a way. It is as if he wants her and gets close to her only to pull away. They give in to their attraction but being together can be bad for the both of them considering that he is her teacher. He could get fired if someone found out what went on behind closed doors. I love Nora Flite’s writing. I think each character she creates is different and unique in some way. There was so much more to Carter than you expected. He has a dark side to him that came out and we got to see more of as the story went on. It was a side that he was afraid to show Noel but her reaction to it was one that surprised him. Noel saw tat dark side but something in her liked it. She was falling for Carter, even if she shouldn’t have. But she just couldn't control her feelings. Carter has grown up in an abusive home and became a shell of himself because of it. And then his dreams were completely shattered making him lose all hope But Noel sparked something inside of him. She was the perfect match for him and the perfect person to bring light to his dark, dark world. I loved the two of them together. Carter wasn’t this swoon worthy hero that was all hearts and flowers but I loved him. He knew what his issues were and knew to stay away from Noel. But he just couldn’t. She made him feel things. And she made him fall….for her!
review 2: I've loved all of Nora's books, and this one was no exception. From the first paragraph, the seeds were sewn for a page-turner in every sense of the word. It's become cliche to say, "I couldn't put it down," but in this case, it's the literal truth.She has imbued her characters with details that are imminently recognizable, drawing them in such fully-realized shades that they become as familiar to the reader as members of the family. As in real life, the past informs the present and each character's background resonates in the decisions they make today.The novel's protagonist, Carter, comes to the story broken ,compelling your sympathies from the outset. If you could reach into the world of the pitiable Carter and fix him, you would do it in an instant. That job position has been filled instead by Noel.In a story like this, the setting can make all the difference. By taking us into the heart of grueling, fiercely competitive ballet schools, Nora has us rooting for the characters before the romance even begins. The dance scenes are rendered in such vivid detail you'll feel as though you were there watching the performers in person.Bottom line, if you're looking for a novel with a hot leading man, steamy romance, dancing, and just the right amount of spot-on characterization, you can't do better than this one. less
