An aria in Venice.. What a perfect title for such a great book. Again, I was lucky enough to get this copy for my honest review.. I love dancing and everything that has to do with ballet. One day I'd love to go to Venice too. The way this book described all the beautifully lost architecture and art it made me want to fly out now to see all that Luca and Adriana saw..I'm getting ahead of myself though.. Bad boys, bad boys, oh were there plenty of deliciously bad boys in this book. Sooo many to drool over and have yummy dreams about.. First there's Nikolai. He's the bad boy Russian ballet dancer but don't let the pretty boy face and tights fool you.. Nickolai is bad boy to the extreme. He comes from a line of killers. He's been through enough crap in his life though. Prostituded out as a young boy to be saved by his best friend Alek. It's no wonder he doesn't believe he's worthy of love. Then theres Luca.. He's bad boy number two.. Luca is roman-Sicilian with blond hair and deep blue eyes that reach deep down in his soul. If he lets you get close enough to see him that is..Then there's little miss Adriana Dostovsky. The Russian-American "badass" ballerina. Or so she's called. You could not say she is a typical girl. Her father is a Russian baddie and because of him her family had to flee from the only life she knew just to get away from all the crap he brought in. Having the Dostovsky name has brought her nothing but pain. It has it's perks but pretty much everyone in her ballet troupe calls her the little spoiled princess and the others are just plain afraid of her family.To me Adriana was what every girl wishes they were. She was a ballerina for goodness sakes and she is good. If only she could step away from all her past drama to find the woman hiding inside. Adriana has always had a huge crush on Nikolai. he's been there for her through everything. He's her protector. His warm arms soothed her from her nightmares.Oh yes, did I forget that mr yummy player boy Luca is in the picture too? This designer hottie is nothin more than beautiful. beautifully broken that is but Adriana sees a different side of him. He's loving and caring when around his family. Just a complete opposite of what everyone says about him.Anyway, everything about this book was perfect. The love triangle that makes you think how in e heck could you ever choose between a man you've loved all your life and the man who won over your heart in a short week? The sorrow, the fights, the crazy ass mom who thinks she owns her children. Nothing but page after page of emotion.This might have been a short book but it held so much in every word. I haven't read the first one yet, I know bad me, but your damn right I will be picking it up now. I need more of this story. This world of passion and fire.
