Dante's Little Dancer

Rate this book
Freya

If someone would’ve told me several months ago that I’d be in a relationship with a famous painter, I would have laughed. No guy wanted to be in a relationship with me when they found out I was a pole dancer, but Dante pursued me until I finally said yes, and I wonder if I made the right choice.

Dante

I’d given up on love years ago. I thought I’d be alone forever, until I met her. She’s captivated my thoughts from the moment we met.

Will Dante begin to struggle with her career? Will he be plagued by jealousy? Will Freya be able to let her guard down and let him take care of her?

A must read for Daddy Dom lovers! It’s a short novella, and so worth the few hours it will take to devour every word!

Dante and Freya have the start of a great relationship. He’s the protector, Daddy, and guiding hand. She’s the submissive, gentle and loving. Yet, Dante worries his artistic work will suffer and Freya knows her pole dancing will one day drive Dante away. Will they make it through and allow their love for one another overcome their insecurities?

I will definitely be rereading this one. Also, I’ll be low key wishing for more on Dante and Freya. I just love their relationship and personalities and don’t want to say goodbye to them! A full length novel wouldn’t be enough for me. I need a trilogy, at least!

I received this as an ARC — lemme tell you, if you’re looking for your novella to come out the gate with spice, this is ya book. Literally like 10 percent you get the spice! The seggs scenes were well written, and super spicy.

It has a ton of Dom/Sub dynamic, the whole book pretty much. You get a glimpse of Freyas life as Dante’s sub and the different experiences, kinks, emotions, and thoughts she comes across throughout this experience. It shows a great supportive relationship between Dante and Freya.

Spicy, quick read! 🔥🖤

This is a quick read novella that dives into some BDSM with several kinks and if you are a fan of that type of genre then you will definitely love this one.

You have Dante who is an older famous artist that has a kind of meet cute with Freya at a coffee shop. They definitely have a fast connection to one another after meeting. Dante is a Dom and see Freya fitting into his world as a Submissive. He struggles with her over dependence and wants to be the care taker. He slowly makes adjustments for Freya to not overwhelm her as they become more comfortable in their roles.

Freya is a pole dancer when she meets Dante and her job becomes another issue between them. Freya is leary to have someone take care of her and to be fully dependent on them. She struggles to figure out what she is in their relationship and they have the daddy/good girl kink going on throughout the storyline. We also get an introduction to Freya might be a little possibly.

This is definitely a quick steamy fun read filled with some different types of kinks. I had the pleasure to read an ARC to given my honest review and this was a fun steamy read with a HEA for this couple. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting something spicy and fast but not rushed. Overall it's a hot quick read.

This novella is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!

Dantes Little Dancer is a standalone novella with daddy kink, edging, cuffing and multiple orgasms.

Freya meets Dante at a cafe and they instantly hit it off. Freya is a stripper and thinks no one could love her because of her job and her past and Dante is a painter/artist that is a loner and gave up on love until he met Freya.

They are great together and the only fight they have is about her job. And the spice in this, oh boy!!! It is HOT!!!!!

I loved this novella and I hope we get more of Dante and Freya!!!

I got an advance copy of Dante’s little Dancer. I have to say for a fast paced bdsm/Daddy Dom/Little girl, it is real well written. It is very steamy and intense and yes their bondage and bdsm scenes. It’s about Dante & Freya they meet at a cafe and then again at her work, she’s a pole dancer. Dante is a famous artist. This book is about their journey and how they navigate their relationship. Definitely is a must read if you like bdsm romances. Definitely will make ya hot.

such a great book!

What can I say I just love Dante and freya ! Their dynamic was perfect. The struggle freya had with having someone take care of her felt so real. The steamy scenes were perfection ! What more could you want from a book, this one was on point . I definitely would recommend this tasty little morsel to anyone. You won’t be disappointed!

That was.. disappointing.
It could have been great, I just wasn’t a fan of the writing. The conversations felt forced and awkward.

I did enjoy the communication rule and how much he took care of her.

But here's why...

I loved the whole story, getting to know both Dante and his little dancer. Love comes in all forms and this book is all about discovering a very particular form of love. 💗💕

This is my first read from C.E Kingsley and it's safe to say, it definitely won't be my last after this!

This is a short, super spicy and captivating novella. Dante is a successful painter who mets Freya randomly in a cafe. The quickly developed a dom/sub relationship. It's a fantastic quick read, and I loved how attentive Dante was with his aftercare.

Definitely recommend this one!

Loved this little read ❤️

cute love story with a heavy bdsm element to it. But very well depicted and almost informative into the world of bdsm/ddlg.

My only wish is that it was much longer!!! Novellas just aren't my thing massively! I need more 🤣

Very happy to have been an arc reader for this lovely author and hope to be again in the future!!

Freya and Dante have a fast progressing relationship, that I almost find myself wishing we had more of the hardships we normally see. The fights they have are so well solved, it’s incredible that they have the dynamic they do. I swear, I’m fanning my face each scene they have. It gives you just enough that you’re left not needing anything further! The only downside, I did find that it was very repetitive.

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was a novella, so it was a quick read. I really enjoyed the characters and their relationship with each other. The spice was very quick to occur in the book, which was fun to read! I always enjoy a quick novella to change things up, and this one did not disappoint!

This novella is a quick read and it is 🥵🥵🥵! I love the meet cute Freya and Dante have at the beginning of the book!

Freya is a pole dancer who believes that no one will love her because of her profession and Dante is a famous artist who has all but given up on love. But then they meet each other and hit of off right away!

This is a stand-alone with daddy kink, edging, cuffing, and multiple orgasms. If you are a fan of these things definitely read this book! Hope we get to see more Freya and Dante in the future.

I had higher hopes

This kind of flopped for me, but maybe it’s my personal biases. The spice was decent, and really started from the beginning. I appreciated the candid look at aftercare and the non-sexual aspects of D/s dynamics. However, we were told early on that Freya loved her job and didn’t want to quit, and things had not worked with past partners because they wanted her to quit. And what did she do at Dante’s request? Quit. It also felt like their relationship was kind of rushed in general. I didn’t care for the fact that there was very little plot outside of the intimate scenes, but that’s a personal preference. Not a terrible shorter read, but just not for me.

not for me

I usually read full novels so maybe it’s just the format of a novella that didn’t work for me. I found the writing to be really choppy and formal. The conversation between characters didn’t flow easily. The spice was alright, not great. Maybe if you enjoy novellas you’ll like it but it wasn’t for me.

sweet and spicy

I really liked the story I just wish it was longer and more fleshed out. I feel like this has a lot of great material to be turned into a full length novel!
