I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. In Zephyr fifth assignment for Hera to bring love to the Sons of Olympus in order to relight the torch of Olympus to keep the world from fading into darkness and to get his hero's license and his golden ticket to finally impressing the Muses. Zephyr is to help the descendent of Apollo named Luc who is the leader of a street-dancing gang of misfits that goes by the name of the Sun Dancers and they compete in competitions like no other. But it’s up to Zephyr and Iris to help Luc discover the power of love so it can help him defeat the darkness.
Luc is a trouble-making street dancer, who lives on the wrong side of the tracks. He is forced to compete in a magical tournament like no other in which he must claim his victory on stage to protect the earth from the forces of evil. After a close battle Luc realizes that what he’s doing isn’t working that the darkness almost prevailed that time. When his familiar Astor takes him to a ballet studio where he see Calli for the first time he realizes she's the secret weapon, partner, and everything else that he’s spent his life searching for.
Calli is a ballerina who has never placed a toe out of line. But when the previous owner of the academy that she attends comes and tells her that her dance routine is lacking a something and her place at a prestigious school is threatened, she’s forced to leave her routine behind and prove she’s a real star. In walks Luc who challenges her to take a leap of faith with him Sun Dancers. But as Calli enters a dangerous dance battle between the gods, where one wrong step could have devastating consequences will she give up her chance of her own spot in the spotlight? I guess that you will have to read Sun Dancer by Eden Royale to find out.

Oh, my goodness, I am blown away once again with Eden Royal, this story captivated my heart and soul from the moment I started reading. Once again, we go on this rollercoaster journey of with Zephyr and Iris to help the descendant of Apollo battle between light and darkness, and this time we get a little extra treat when the duo makes a bet. The imagination and world that Eden creates is like no other, the essence of the story left me in awe and the message touched my soul. Eden is a genius at creativity and imagination, as well as bringing forth issues that are relatable and downright scary close to one's own deep secrets and fears. I love Luc in this story and how he not only carries the burden of wanting everyone to follow the beat of their own heart and shine in their own way but how he fights to bring light into the world. Calli is such strong, determined, and passionate woman who realizes there is more to life than perfection and precision. Luc's message 'no matter how dark the night, even the faintest light guides people through the darkness. And as long as there's light in my heart, there's hope" really hit home with me. Luc is such an inspiration, he's a perfect example of what would happen if we all opened our hearts and worked together to bring light into our world. Luc and Callie story will touch even the darkest of souls and bring them into the light. I absolutely Loved their familiars, especially Cerebrus and also Flash and Polly and even Thalia. I will definitely reread this series over and over; each book just gets better and better and I can't wait to read the next book in this series. This story is full of inspiration, hope, teamwork, passion, action and most of all unity. WOW! If I could give this book, this series more than a five star, I would definitely blow it out of the park.

This series just keeps getting better! Luc is the 5th Son of Olympus to be tasked with finding his heart's love match. The proligue and epilogue segments are hilarious (and hopefully are starting to go somewhere 😉). Not only do the Sons have to find love, they need to continue to protect and serve the people/community at large. That's alot on their shoulders. Sure, these men are God's (literally - 😆) but still!!
Stressing the importance of hope, perseverance, loyalty, determination, hard work, team work (to nane a few), Sun Dancer conveys that dreams and aspirations really can be obtained with enough concentrated effort. The Darkness serves as an opposing force to the Light. Good vs Evil is a repeating theme, as the Sons strive to maintain the scales balance toward that of Good.
Callie is a naive, self-absorbed classically trained dancer. She possesses a great ability, but is only able to tap into it when the afore principles of honest hard work are employed ...and she is enjoying the experience. I'll admit I struggled throughout the book with Callie and her indecisiveness. She was very self-serving, even when she knew what was at stake. She could have everything she wanted AND be committed, yet she proceeded to yank Luc and the Sun Dancers around. I simply wasn't sure she'd be able to redeem herself.
The ending of the book was awesome! I'm not going to give anything away. You simply have to read the final dance to understand and experience the intensity. It's not the only outstanding scene in the book - not by a long shot. This is definately one of my favorite of Royale's books thus far. Don't miss out. Grab your copy and join the dance party!

Like yes OMG this was another great book from Eden Royale. I love this book. I was hooked as soon as I read the first page I was captivated . I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn't stop reading or even put it down. I was so move able this story it was touching and heartwarming of love and romance strength of force of nature. Callie was a dancer in training and Luc was facing with betrayal and loyalty of others. He had to find love in this crazy world . There chemistry and physical attraction was steamy and romance with a whole lot of fireworks from the begin until the end .The darkness was going to tear down the light of good and bad. When Callie and Luc were together they were unstoppable and they can faced anything. It was mythological twists and turns of the gods of Olympus. This was the battle between good vs evil dramatic of an action packed of drama.

I’ve been reading this series since book 1. And I thoroughly enjoy the prologue with Zephyr and his epilogue too. He’s an underrated side character for sure.
But this book focuses on Callie and Luc. Luc is the leader of the Sun Dancers and his mission is to bring light to the world to chase away the darkness. He meets Callie, who is a ballerina, and sparks fly but they’re from different worlds. They don’t think it’ll ever work. They’re too different and have completely different dance styles.
They can’t seem to let each other go. And as their fight to bring light to the world reached dangerous levels they have to decide what is worth sacrificing for it.
It’s a sweet romance with a good mix of dance and passion. I enjoyed reading it and can’t wait to get to the next installment of this series.

This is the fifth installment of this series and is an interconnected standalone. I’ve read each book, and is more enjoyable when read in order to. I love Zephyr’s prologue and epilogue, he is an underrated side character that I am definitely rooting for.
This book focuses on Callie and Luc. I loved the dance aspect with the familiars. I loved how Luc helped Callie to find her love of dance again. I also loved how Callie was determined to help Luc save the world from the evil that lurked in their city.
This was a sweet romance that had more than just these two finding their HEA. I’m excited to read the next book and go on another adventure.

This story is book 5 in the series and it is truly inspirational! Luc is a Sun dancer that dances to bring in the light and his love is Callie, a self-centered ballerina who finally grows into the person Luc deserves. It's a sweet story with romance. action, drama. twists and dancing familiars. This book like the other in this series has captivated my attention and each has been read in one sitting...it's that GOOD!!! Waiting not so patiently for the next story and hopefully not the last story. (Hint hint Ms. Eden Royale)

Luc is the fifth son of a god to add love to his tasks in life. He is part of Sun Dancer, a group of street dancers. Callie is a professional ballet dancer who is stuck in a rut and might lose her standing at the academy. Together they work hard to overcome the darkness and win the dance off competition and win each other in love, too. The characters, locales, personalities, chemistry and sassy banter keep the pages turning. So easy to lose yourself in the storyline as the emotions dig deep and the secrets and surprises keep you on edge. Fantastic ending. Can not wait for the next book.

I enjoyed this story. Zephyr and Iris banter and antics alone made this an enjoyable read and as for the story itself it is a great twist on the Greek gods being street dancers! It is a brilliantly written story with dynamic characters that drew me in and had me cheering them on to succeeding with their task.

That was awesome!! 2 a dancer its all about perfection 4 the ballerinas. But will they learn life isn't all about perfection as it is 2 some is b spontaneous and think with ur heart instead of just ur head? Read it and find out. even a person that fell into the dark can find their heart again but will it b enough? U decide. I loved it it was fast paced and really enlightening.

Eden did it again! The imagery in this book is stunning and the story is amazing! I started off laughing at the antics of Zephyr and Iris, and ended up anxiously awaiting the next book! Oh, and let's not forget the wonderful twists and turns along the path of Calli & Luc's (as well as Polly and Flash's) story!

Calli and Luc working together defeat the darkness and bring light to the world. I like how they in turn train the next generation to embrace their heart's desire.

Luc and Calli's story is the fifth book in series and is a sweet romance. Luc is a demigod who needs to protect the world and find his love. Calli is a dancer who has lost her passion.
This is a great addition to the series and with perfect amount of adventure.

If you are looking for a Hallmark-like series with modern day demigods, adventure, mystery, twist-n-turns and romance, then look no further. You do not need other reviews, just grab the series!

Perfect for fans of Step-Up that like their tales with a mythological twist.
As with the other books, you could read this as a standalone, but you would miss out on the growing relationship between Zephyr and Iris (which I hope is going to follow Shadow Thieves!)
☆ enemies to lovers
☆ fated mates
☆ almost a reverse grumpy sunshine with Callis dedication to dance
☆ found family
☆ interlinked standalones
☆ the more mythology you know, the more easter eggs you will recognise - but if you don't know much about gods/goddesses, you won't miss out on any key points
