Della: The Ballerina and The Billionaire

by Rod Palmer

perfectionist token-black ballerina... Miles black-sheep billionaire... The unlike anything either has ever felt... Disoriented by a week in Paris and a tough proposition, there's this mystique of not quite knowing what's real or facade. Love will come up against the things they hold most dear, like Della's chance to overcome racial bias in ballet and make history. Nothing is gained without something lost. For love, the stakes are as high as ever.

Reviews

[Danielle Jacko · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book so much that I placed the book I was reading before aside! I love they way Della and Miles are written and how befitting they are with their family's different backgrounds. I just wish that Della's family would've made at least a cameo but it still works beautifully regardless. The passionate chemistry towards the couples mentioned is a realistic and comforting gesture that the audience can sink into. I even loved the antagonist's sly evil ways! 15 out of 5!
