A Choreography of Longing

My favorite writing duo have done it again! This story is everything and more you could ever ask for in a romance set amidst the fascinating world of ballet. There's love, betrayal, scandal, secrets, intrigue and bravery all interwoven with the story of two rival ballet companies. Portia is the daughter of ballet royalty and already established when she meets Eden - younger, still trying to make the cut in the dance world in a make or break Intensive Program. Their attraction is forbidden yet immediately undeniable. But betrayal, miscommunication, and timing tear them apart leaving both with broken hearts. They don't see one another until 15 years later when they're forced to work together. The attraction is definitely still there - but can they ever get past all the hurt, can they ever reach the point of complete trust necessary to move forward? Well this is a beautiful romance with a happy ending so of course they do. But along the way, they learn the force that broke them apart was not what either thought. They'll also discover and expose a history of abuse and cover-up in the dance world they love. Through it all, they learn to never give up on their dreams - dreams that may start as one thing but evolve and grow to be something even more. The story, all the wonderful characters (including a little girl that steals the scene every time she appears), the setting all come together in a way only this duo can make happen. With this book, TB and Miranda Jetè Into Yet Another…

Five stars do not do this book justice. I have read most, if not all, of TB Markinson and Miranda MacLeod's' books. For me this is one of their best collaborative efforts. They bring an insight into the world of ballet that is both surprising and at times shocking. It is a world filled with intrigue, scandal, corruption and exploitation. A world so rich in detail and breathtaking descriptions that the reader is immediately drawn in. At the center is Portia, the teacher and Eden, the student torn apart by miscommunication. Most importantly it is a love story that waited 15 years to be told. You are filled with anticipation as they navigate the distrust created but also that spark of love that still burns in their hearts. Excellent dialogue, well written secondary characters and subplots all come together to a final conclusion as Portia and Eden's story stays with you long after the last page is read. "A good book makes you want to live in the story. A great book gives you no choice". (author unknown) This is that great book.
