~ A Dance For Two ~ audiobook🎵



AUDIOBOOK REVIEW TOUR


Book Title: A Dance For Two

Author: Colette Davison

Publisher: Colette Davison/Independently published

Narrator: Neil MacFarlane

Release Date: December 6, 2018

Genre/s: Romance, LGBT

Heat Rating: 4 flames

The story stands-alone, but has a loosely linked sequel. An audiobook is in production for that.




A Dance For Two is a stepbrother romance with 'plenty of angst, love, attraction, lust and finally a HEA ending.'
 



Blurb

Adam and Luc used to be close. At least they were before Luc distanced himself from Adam at fourteen, then eventually left home. Adam never got over the sting of betrayal, or the loss of his one-time best friend.

When Luc is invited back home to help get his parents’ failing dance school back on track, Adam isn’t sure he can cope with having his stepbrother back in his life. Especially when he discovers Luc’s decade old secret.

Luc left home because he was sure no one would understand that he had fallen in love with his stepbrother.

Convinced that the years of distance he has put between them will have erased his desire, Luc doesn’t hesitate to return home to help the business that means everything to his parents. Confronted by Adam once more, Luc’s past feelings re-awaken. But will revealing his true feelings to Adam heal the rift between them, or drive them even further apart?

***This novel contains explicit language and sex scenes between step-brothers***


My review: 

I am still counting myself as a newbie when it comes to audiobooks, but i love listening to stories i loved reading. But this was definitely a new experience to me, because i was reading and listening to it at the same time, and it was good! 
The book and the story was super, i love brother/stepbrother love, the forbidden love is always precious. This was my first book from the author, but if the other books are as good as this was, i am totally going to read more from her!
Luc and Adam were both great characters and i loved the dancing scenes, and i was so happy that it were so many dancing scenes!!! I hate it when only a few is there when a book is ABOUT the dancing. Everything was good, and i loved Adam's struggling about Luc and the love what he felt, what both guy felt. They were cute together :)
The audiobook was great too, but this wasn't my favorite audiobook. At the beginning everything was good and i thought this is a good one, but after i thought about the other books i was listening to, this one was different. The worst was that the two MC, Luc and Adam was speaking in the same voice, and I couldn't distinguish them. And thank God i was reading while listening because it was way better that way. 
The narrator was good, the voice is great, but Luc and Adam has to be different voices. 

I'm gonna say the book is a 4,5* read, and the audiobook is 4*. I loved reading and listening to it, and after 3 week without reading anything at all, this was the one that i needed the most.

After this list i want to make one thing clear; i found my 2 BEST AUTHOR EVER. If it wasn't clear enough, i'm speaking about Kate Hawthorne and Nicholas Bella. If i'm honest and choese only a few books of my favorite list, those books will be the perfect of the most perfect books ever. Every book that Kate and Nicholas writes are AMAZING! I could read them over and over again, and listen to the audiobooks 7/24. 
And if this isn't enough, i tattoed NB's character 'Theoden' on my arm - this is how much i LOVE him! 

And if we are all here i want to say thank you to all of you who are here and read me. I wanted to write a blog like forever but i was afraid, but now i can say only one thing, this was the best decision of the last year! 
I love 'Reading under the Rainbow' and i love finding new authors and new books. I love reading outside my comfort zone, and the books in 2018 was totally out of it! 
I have read my first ABDL by accident and i totally loved it! I have read my first mpreg book and i was fascinated by it! I have read my very first shifter and A/B/O with and without mpreg. I have read brocest, twincest, fetish books (lingerie), hard BDSM... and so many yummy things! And i fell in love with every book and every new trope i found! Especially the Daddy-kink, with or without age-play.

2018 was a really good year for me. I went to London and Rome, both RARE (Romance Author and Reader Event)and i met some of my favorite authors like Tille Cole, Colleen Hoover, Kele Moon, Cara Dee, Alexa Riley, Elle Kennedy and more... :) 

I hope 2019 will be as good as 2018 was or even better. Give me all the m/m books and the kinkier the better ;)
