Prologue

I GLANCED AT my watch, seeing it was just after midnight. I needed to get the hell out of here so I could get some sleep. Already overworked, I shouldn’t have promised her the favor but she’d always done right by me. I couldn’t keep putting it off. My feet froze when I passed by the open door of one of the rooms, eyes drawn to the lone figure in the center of the glossy, wooden floors, her back facing me. Hair as dark as the night sky in a tight bun atop her head enhanced her creamy white skin, body clad in a scrap of black material that offered as little coverage as a bathing suit. That must be what they wore, even when there weren’t many people around so late at night. Business must be good if the place continued to stay open almost twenty-four seven. I didn’t get the need for it, really. My attention snapped back as she gracefully raised her arms, completely in her own world, before balancing on her tiptoes and spinning around the room endlessly, making me dizzy. My eyes stayed glued to her perfomance, her legs drawing me in like a moth to a flame. While she was petite, her legs seemed to go on for miles, and were powerful and lean as she twirled across the floor, changing quickly into step after step. I was mesmerized. She moved fluidly, legs kicking in every which direction, perfectly in sync with the soft music playing in the background. I could barely make out the song as I focused solely on the ballerina, her body making a tempo of its own, creating a rhythm as she glided effortlessly. Back and forth, forward and backward, round and round. My whole body hummed as I shifted, pressing closer as I continued to observe, unnoticed. I didn’t want her to stop my private show, but it all came to an end too soon as someone walked past me in the hallway, pulling me out of my trance. I looked down to see that almost an hour had passed, cursing myself for letting the dancer distract me, and when I glanced back in the studio, she was gone. It was for the best, really. I walked back out to the front, gathering my tools, re- signed to the fact that I’d have to come back to complete the job another time. It wasn’t happening that night. My little midnight ballerina made sure of that.

Review

A Story of trust... Trust in yourself and trust in others. Ultimately to trust in your heart to love.

Monroe is trying to live on her own merits, working her way through school and pay her bills with out having to ask her parents that can't afford to help her. When she loses her job, she finds that she will have to do something that her morals and heart tell her not to do.... But she has to survive so she decides to go through with it.

Miller Buchanan is a business owner. Working to help a friend out one night he sees this beauty dancing and is instantly attracted to the beauty of her dance and her beauty as well.  Going into his club to get some much needed work done, he spots his Midnight dancer up on his stage and realizes that this is his new employee... one who spilled his drink on him. Caught in a trance he vows he will do anything to help her and have her for his own.

I began this review with Trust. Yes they both Monroe and Miller have issues. Monroe is trying to be independent and struggling to make in through her financial commitments.  Miller does not give his heart freely, suffering from the abandonment of his mother and father. When he finds himself falling hard for Monroe he decides to give her the trust that he has been holding back.

This book is credibly addicting! I was sucked in first by the troubles that Monroe has to face to make ends meet. But what captured my heart was the struggle that Miller goes through in order to have the love of his life with him and keep her by his side. A beautiful story that I will admit I was was skeptical of... but only briefly! Miller and Roe captured my heart and I am glad for the loss of sleep and tears that I went through in order to finish reading this beautiful story of a dancer and her love. I give this book 5 Stars and I can't wait to read the next installment of this amazing story.
