Blurb
Love can be dangerous!
Valentin Bychkov, rising star of contemporary Russian ballet, appears to have everything: wealth, talent, success, and a face and body to match. Not that anyone can get close. Bypass the entourage and there's still Valentin's sharp tongue and acerbic wit to deal with. He may give his body freely, but his emotions are kept tightly locked away.
Max Farley's life is a simple one. All he's interested in is work, drinking, and picking up the latest in a long line of one-night stands. The way he chooses to live may not be to everyone's taste but it suits him down to the ground. He's never met anyone who's made him want to confront the demons from his past. Until now.
A show in London brings the two together. Lust brings them closer still. But if rumors of Bratva connections turn out to be true, then dangerous men wait in the wings. One dangerous man in particular, who's used to people following his orders without question.
Difficult choices need to be made on both sides. Valentin and Max need to stop playing with fire and let each other go, or face the consequences. But letting go isn't that easy where love is concerned.
And some things are worth the risk.
Warning: This book contains a snarky ballet dancer with an aversion to clothes, a little too much wall sex and an overabundance of Russian heavies.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Valentin and Max are instantly attracted to each other when they meet. Unfortunately, Valentin's stuck living under the thumb of Dimitri, who treats him as a possession. He has to do what Dimitri says, when he says to do it.
I love how Max is enamored by Valentin, despite his cold and indifferent persona he portrays. Max knows there's more to Valentin than he shows, if he can just see the true man behind the stoicism. Of course, if he's ever going to see the real Valentin, first he has to face a whole lot of danger.
I found their relationship to be wonderful and full of passion. They both help the other to overcome some serious issues. It's all wonderfully developed and is executed in an excellent way.
My heart hurt for Valentin for many reasons, including his injury. He's a fascinating character who's stuck in a no win situation. His past, as well as his present, is heartbreaking.
I loved this story. It's the perfect combination of a character we can't help but to route for, and a tender romance that will save him, mixed in with some danger. The fact that it has a ballet dancer as one of it's main characters is just a delightful bonus. The suspense and fear will keep you intrigued throughout.
A Dance too Far is a definite recommendation for anyone looking for a good comfort/hurt story. There's a whole lot to keep you interested and the characters are wonderful. Honestly, the book is as amazing as it's cover!
