Fever: A Ballroom Romance

With the popularity of Dancing with the stars, etc. this is a perfect read for that audience. Only difficulty is the slow build to the actual love match and the main characters insecurity.

Really enjoyed the story, it was easygoing, but full of small details and sexy dancing. A can’t wait to read the second book. I think I fell in love. I never actually read any book with this topic. Great work!

As someone who loves dance, I was interested in this novel despite it seeming a little dramatic for my tastes. I was blown away by how passionate the novel was without going over the top. It accurately portrays the fervor that goes into one’s craft, not to mention how the fiery personalities of the artists themselves. I loved the characters and the development of their stories. The author does a great job at creating sexual tension without being ridiculous. While I enjoyed the novel, however, I feel that I can patiently wait to read the next in the series.

This book has two of my favorite things. Romance and dancing. Great novel definitely go check it out if you love those things too.

Sasha Sasha sasha. Geesh louise. I have no words for this book ! First ballroom story I've read and i loved this book. There is so much tension and I just love it. I will definitely be getting book 2 and 3!

Rory had given up ballet and decided to pursue a career in law. Only, she is unhappy and unable to find confidence in her own abilities. After seeing a ballroom dance performance, Rory decides the perfect outlet for her is to again try her hand at dance. Further, she forms a fascination with professional ballroom dancer Sasha who just so happens to be the man she saw at the performance. He recognizes in her the same passion for dance he has in him. Together they might just form the perfect couple both on and off the dance floor.

Verdict: Bleh. I didn’t finish this read. I liked the story line, and the writing itself was ok. But overall, I don’t like the feel the book gave at the apparent acceptance of cheating. Almost every major character in the book was in some sort of longstanding relationship, and then managed to find someone else who they thought was a better fit for their needs. Additionally some of the many nitpicks I have - at the beginning of the story it seemed that the author spent a little too much time emphasizing how much Rory focused on how the dancer’s (Sasha’s in particular) hips and feet moved instead of describing how the dancers looked. I understand that it was meant to represent Rory’s re-introduction to the passion of dance, but it just felt off to me. Also, I didn’t enjoy how Rory decided to join the dance studio where Sasha danced and then proceeded to just about stalk his every movement there until he noticed her. I just didn’t find this to be my cup of tea.

Complex characters and a fresh voice. Good read!

I liked this book a lot, actually. The writing was smooth and invisible, and the characters - at least the main characters - were whole and real.

The main character was very realistic. Having lived with a former ballerina, I thought her neurosis were well incorporated. She didn't think about them a lot, but the reader was definitely aware that something wasn't 100% with her.

The reader is left with this feeling of ambivalence towards the main character's choice to take up dancing again. On the one had you can see that she loves it, on the other, you can see the potential for a lot of unhealthy behaviors - eating disorders, spending a lot of money on something you can't really afford, etc.

A couple of points of contention - the 'bad guys' were very one dimensional. They were all bitches and bad at dancing and everyone hated them. The end. I would like more complexity in the future.

Also, the whole plot was really slow in coming. Though I enjoyed living the main characters life, and seeing how she dealt with her issues and took control of her life, there was no closure in the end. The book ended on a cliffhanger, and the whole plot of book one was basically: girl remembers she likes to dance and stalks a hot dancer guy for a while.

This book was too long to be a serial, and not enough plot to be a full book.

Despite that, I did like it. If the topic interests you, or if you have ever taken dance lessons, I suggest you read.

This is a book for you, if you’re in the mood for some sexy Latin dancing in the ballroom. It has steaminess and some very sexy character that you will like. You definitely like Roxy, despite everything she’s been through and the Latin dancer that gets in her way isn’t half bad either. The characters were thoroughly enjoyable and you definitely want to see how the story ends. It flowed quite nicely and had a few intriguing moments, so if you’re in the mood pick up a copy and enjoy. Even though the action takes place in the ballroom it definitely keeps your attention and turning the page till the end.

Rory was an attorney who felt that most attorneys were boring. Her boyfriend is James, whose also a lawyer in LA. She had studied ballet for 14 years. At a party, she saw a dance being done and longed to dance again.

This was a little slow-moving, but I did finish it. I didn't like where it left off. I didn't realize it was part of a serial when I got it. Maybe if I get a chance to get the other two books, I will feel better about the whole story.
