Another book I picked up when romance was the theme. This one starts out very slow. I trudged through parts of it, but it's one that once you read it through, you suddenly wonder "what else did I miss?" and you kinda want to read it again...but then you think about how hard it was to get through the first time and you kinda stop yourself. I'm pretty sure I only read this once.

Leaving a review in case anyone else makes the same mistake as me... This is the same novel as Falling for a Dancer, just under a different name.

Loved the first 200 pages then...boring. Just a bunch of sex.
