An easy five-star review because Ms. Kostova is a heck of a good writer, and the writing in this book is excellent. People, places, dialogue, flow - all of it is well-balanced and subtle enough to be evocative. It's a great book to read in one sitting, cover-to-cover.My only complaint is that, right after Jared meets Fenix, their love blossoms in sex scene after sex scene. The scenes were good, no neuroses plumbed, and sometimes they were actually hot - what do you expect, what with a well-built actor (Jared) and a hot-as-hell dancer (and singer), Fenix. But there were just too many. I became afraid that I'd mistakenly bought an erotic novel devoid of plot. But no, Ms. Kostova regained her balance and brought me right along with her two engaging main characters.They meet. Love at first sight (yes, it sometimes does really happen - it's happened to me, and of all the ironies, he was a professional dancer, as well!). Live together.  Thrive in their careers on the London stage until Fenix's play gets moved to Broadway, including its star. Which leaves Jared high-and-dry. He doesn't want to move with Fenix because his own career in London is taking off.Two years of separation ensue, and they are hell for both of them. Even when Fenix wins the highest awards in his metier and plays to sold-out crowds, he finds it hard to continue working, or even living, without Jared. They both made a terrible mistake opting for their careers over their love.This is, after all, a romance novel, so Ms. Kostova spends most of the rest of the book getting them back together for their well-earned, and long-delayed, HEA.It's a journey worth taking with the talented Ms. Kostova, and I dare you to read the ending without a tear in your eye.I recommend "Dance" most highly!
