a review of Waking Kiss by Appyt-Teresa
Ballerina, Ashleigh Keaton meets sexy stranger, Liam Wilder backstage at the London City Ballet. Rushing to get her toe shoes when ordered to take over the prima ballerina role onstage and freaking out when she finds the door locked Ashleigh's day is saved when Liam forces the door open. Later, a very unhappy Rubio, the lead male dancer,
(primadonna) invites her to the "after" party then basically ignores her. Left to her own devices she decides to go home when Liam shows up.
This is a story that touches your heart as Ashleigh gives Liam control of helping her overcome her fears. Both of them have boundaries, emotional and physical space they re not comfortable with having others cross. I loved that Liam continued to be in denial throughout the story. I loved that Ashleigh blossomed. However, I did not love the scene
near the end that did not seem to fit Ashleigh's character. I am looking forward to reading book 2, Rubio's story.
