His Ballerina

The Dance for Me Series, Book 1

By: J. L. Beck, Darcy Rose

Narrated by: Griswold Addams, Lilly Drake

Madison is trying her best to escape a life of poverty. Young, innocent, and guarded. She’s finally getting ahead when she witnesses a murder outside the dance studio and finds herself in deep with a dark and dangerous criminal.

Archer is smitten by Madison from the moment they meet. The protocol says to leave no witness behind but he can’t imagine hurting her. Against his best judgment he lets her go, but he can’t seem to get her out of his head.

Like a stalker he follows her, making certain she doesn’t spill about what she’s seen.

Then one night he watches her through the window of the studio as she dances. She’s so beautiful, and angelic. He decides then that no matter the cost, or blood spilled, she will be his … his ballerina.

WHAT was this narration choice??

This review strictly applies to the audiobook adaptation. Lilly Drake was amazing, her soft voice and firm personality was perfectly suited. Griswold? I'm sorry, but WHAT?? Did anyone tell him this was a ROMANCE novel? LIke, Smut. NOT a read of Home Alone. I have never been so unsettled by a narrator. I was exptremely uncomfortable. Dear god.

I loved this story, the pace was perfect for the drama and with the PROPER character choice it was easy to imagine and follow along. This is a very particular genre and can fall apart with the wrong casting choices. It goes from steamy insta-love to creepy grooming in no time flat. It could just be me, but I think a casting change could go a long way here. This would be a 1 star review based on him.

Seeing that he was cast for the rest of the series, I won't be purchasing the rest.

steamy short story😽😽

I loved the story overall The writing was perfect for the storyline in the characters personalities shines very well. it's the type of short story that you collect it's it's good very very good I loved it

Good Listen...

It's a little cheesy, however I was never bored while listening. It was a great little book to listen too while wrapping Christmas presents !!!! Now on to Book #2.

Quick, easy read, spicy

Not a believable story, could have been a bit longer of a timeline
But still enjoyable. The narrative accents were not good.

Great quick listen

The narration had me gripped. It was done so well. The story line was amazing. I enjoyed this book and I definitely will be listening to the rest!
