Dancing to Freedom (Dream's Edge 0.5) by Traci Hunter Abramson, Book Review

 

Book Summary:

Canada, 1960

Ballet is Katerina Petrova’s world. But when the stage lights go dim and the curtain closes, she is simply a young woman who is trapped. On tour with the Soviet Kirov Ballet in Canada, Katerina is watched day and night by her chaperones and ballet security. But no one realizes that her hotel balcony adjoins that of handsome Canadian hockey player Robert Marcell.

Robert is enchanted by Katerina, though he knows little about who she really is. In an attempt to find out more about this mysterious young woman, Robert extends his stay in the hotel. One night, when a teammate’s wife persuades him to join them at the ballet, Robert reluctantly attends. He has no interest in cultural experiences—until Katerina dances onto the stage. Soon, the two are inseparable, but despite their growing love, Katerina knows they can have no future together. They come from different worlds, and to escape her gilded cage would be nearly impossible.

My Review:

Katerina and Robert’s story was the perfect balance of love and suspense. From ballet to hockey, it has all the action and suspense of a full novel from Abramson. She packs in the suspense and adds in the romance that she is known for. A master at her craft, Abramson shares a longing for freedom and safety within these pages that I could feel as if it was reality. I have said it before and I will say it again, I will read anything that Abramson writes! A true gifted storyteller that will win awards and whose name will be lauded long after her last novel is written. 

Happy Reading!!!
