Since ballet and art heists are two of my favorite literary subjects, I took to GOLDEN DANCER right away. The characters' attraction borders on "insta-love," which would be suspect in lesser hands, but the leads (especially Trelain) are so attractive and charming that I understood how they felt. Mac's internal struggles, regarding his long-suppressed sexuality as much as his conflict of interest, are rendered vividly and with great sympathy. The theft itself is relegated to the back burner until the end of the story, but patience is rewarded with a thrilling climactic sequence. Some may find the final scene overly cute, but I grinned broadly at the idea that it could exist.
