Dancing is one form of courtship. Where two people flirt with each other, showing their interest. Done in public, it announces to the world their interest in the other. Done in private, it is an affirmation of their mutual attraction.With Fenix and Jared, their dance was a complicated elemental choreography between fire and water, culminating into a beautiful romance that was as ferocious as the roles they played.This is the tale of two men who dance and sing on stage. They lived the life since they were young, were honed to perfect the art by life's inconsistencies and due practice of their craft. They are sceptical men but first and foremost, they are dreamers.For Fenix, a bright and ambitious star in dance and theater, his dream and aim had always been to grace the stages of Broadway. All his life, he had hungered for getting his name up on there on the billboards and maybe win a Tony. He saw his leading role in the musical 'Poison' as a stepping stone. What he did not take into consideration was falling in love with Jared.Jared is the co-creator, co-producer and main star attraction of one of the biggest hits on West End. One look at Fenix and he is gobsmacked fallen. This may be good, but this may also be bad.The men's love affair burn fast and hot, like a comet streaking across the sky. They come under the glares of media and paparazzi, they become the star couple. They love each other so fiercely, nothing may tear them apart.The story of Fenix and Jared was beautifully written by Teodora Costova. It was explicit, it was real, it was heart rending, it was a joy. The two men lived a life of love and reading them go through their unavoidable trials was painful.But there is no growth without going through the pain. And the two men did grow. Their life's experiences were a necessary evil and what came out at the end was a beautiful relationship. A relationship that blossomed and surpassed the fire of their earlier romance.Dance, by Teodora Kostova, is the author's first venture into the realm of the MM genre. It can be quite scary for an author to cross-over to the MM side for many have failed,  and some just succeed in a so-so manner. With this work, the author has proven to the lovers of the MM genre that her talent is in the telling of the tale and it knows no boundaries.Bravo.
