What happens when you make a deal with your friends to give up your virginity at the age of 21 to a gorgeous player?  One night, no strings attached is the deal, but it seems fate might have other plans…Adriana Dostov comes from a Russian father and an American mother.  One night a few years ago; Adriana, her mother, brother and Nikolai they had to escape from Russia to avoid trouble caused from her father.  This left Adriana growing up with a mother, who does not show affection and is very critical of everything that Adriana does, and a brother and almost brother (Nikolai) who are very over protective.  All of this leads to a very frustrated ballerina.Until the day that Luca Martuccio walks into her life.  This is the day that changes her path in life, even though she does not know it yet. Luca is the bad boy designer, womanizer and all around player and Adriana makes the decision that she wants to lose her virginity to him with no strings attached.  Nothing is ever that simple.Throughout this story Adriana is shown through Luca’s family what unconditional love truly is and how important it is to have it in your life.  The love story that develops among Adriana and Luca is epic.  There are many twists and turns in the book , but  it would not be an epic love story without them.  True love is never as simple as the fairy tales make it out to be.I absolutely loved this book, there are moments that I cried and wanted to fight for the characters in the story to help them win their battles.  The romance and story of love within this book is amazing and pulled me in.  I could not put it down.  In the epilogue of the book there is a statement from Adriana that really touched me, here it is:“Life is about taking chances, seizing an opportunity while you can. It’s about finding a way to make the best out of some crappy situations that world has a way of tossing at you. Time keeps going, even among loss.  However, it’s how we choose to move forward and cherish those who stay behind to share new ventures with us that give us the strength to rise above the pain, to live, to love.”This book depicts the growth of Adriana from the girl being ruled by her mother; to the ‘badass ballerina’ Luca knew she could be.  Thank you KaSonndra Leigh for an amazing story of true love!
