Una vida entera persiguiendo sus sueños le había dejado a Lindsay Dunne poco tiempo para el amor. Hasta que conoció a Seth Bannion, un arquitecto irresistible y tío de una talentosa bailarina, y ambos decidieron aliarse para procurarle a la joven un brillante futuro. Lindsay se había propuesto enseñar a Ruth Bannion a canalizar toda su pasión por el ballet, pero lo que no esperaba era que su seductor tío estuviera a punto de darle a ella un curso intensivo en el arte de amar... Gave a nice perspective about life as a ballet dancer with a New York company about being so grueling and time- consuming. Liked how Lindsey created a new life for herself in her small town while still there are her mother. Sorry for her that her mother can not stop pushing a ballet life she no longer wants. Not sure that Seth, the famous architect, is the right personality for her with being so into himself although he showed to be a caring uncle. Not much to 17 yr old Ruth's personal feelings but will show up in next book. Robertsin kovakantiset ovat sentään jotenkin tolkullisia rakkausromaaneja, mutta ainakin tämä pokkari, joka ilmeisesti ollut alunperin Harlekiini-kirja, on kyllä melko kökkö. Henkilöiden käyttäytyminen muutamaa astetta epäuskottavampaa kuin tavallisissa Robertseissa. Balettitanssijan elämä on kovaa. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Another one of Nora Roberts' earlier works, originally published in 1983, that is a reflection (pun not intended) of its time. Retired prima ballerina Lindsay Dunne has a run-in (almost literally) with overbearing architect Seth Bannion. While the love-hate relationship starts out well with some snarky bickering and sizzling chemistry, it ultimately falls flat as the ending is too rushed.
Like many heroes of 1980s romance, Seth is overly possessive and domineering. There are even a couple of moments when his behavior is borderline abusive. Thankfully, Lindsay has a strong enough backbone to put him in his place, and the resolution of the romantic conflict is satisfying overall.
There is a minor secondary romance between Lindsay's friends, Andy and Monica, but it is so woefully underdeveloped and uninspired that it is barely worth noticing. This is unfortunate as their connection has a great deal of potential.
The next book in this duology features Seth's niece, Ruth, and Lindsay's former dance partner, Nikolai Davidov. I'm interested enough in their dynamic to see how it plays out. ( )
