Center of Gravity by K.K. Allen
5.0
⭐️ 5 "Find Your Balance" Stars ⭐️
Center of Gravity was such a captivating story! K.K. Allen presented a unique, alluring romance set in the world of professional dance with a touch of angst and forbidden. This novel is a flawless mix of flirty, funny, sexy, moving and utterly appealing! The passion flowing through the pages is remarkable!
"If I could rewrite the rules, I'd do it for you."
Lex is an aspiring professional dancer trying her chance in Los Angeles. She’s been dancing all her life and is truly talented, but she’s shy and insecure. It’s when she’s on the stage that she truly shines. I liked her relationship with her best friend Shane. This guy really pushes her to express her talent by auditioning, even through the rejections. You feel her passion for dancing, but also her struggles with confidence. Watching her evolution across the chapters, where she blossoms into an assured dancer, but also woman was spellbinding.
Theo Noska was a great hero too! At first he’s a complete jerk to Lex making her feel inferior, because she’s still unknown in their field! When she ends up getting a contract for the show he’s choreographing, everything takes a new turn. As much as Theo wants to keep her away, there’s a magnetic connection between them. They try to deny this intense chemistry, but they just bond so easily. I love the sweet development of their relationship! The attraction is felt through every interaction and I was so eager for them to get together, but the fact their contract prohibits a possible romance between them felt tragic.
An aspect I appreciated is the fact there’s no big drama in this story. Once Lex and Theo are together, they’re solid! There’s doubts and struggles about their feelings and their futures, but the biggest obstacles are exterior to their illicit liaison!
"She was moonlight and magic when she danced, leaving stardust in her wake."
K.K. Allen fashioned a genuinely stunning, heartfelt story with Center of Gravity! The dance video links dispersed across the ebook was a delightful touch! It made the immersion into the dance world even more potent! Take a chance on this stunning romance, you won’t regret it!
