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: 5 Stars
There's something so intriguing and heartbreaking about a forbidden love and Abramson snapped me to attention with this sweet novella.
Russian ballerina Katerina and Canadian hockey star Robert share an adjacent balcony at a hotel and forge an attracting friendship that I just devoured. Abramson portrays these characters in a lifelike and authentic way that gripped my heart. Details about how captive Katerina was stirred feelings of fear and hope deep in my soul and I desperately wanted Robert to find success.
Written in a very engaging way, this story nestled itself deep in my heart and left me anticipating more from this series.
Content: mild moments of peril/threat/fear; mild romance
