Procure His Ballerina (Dance For Me #1) Edited By Darcy Rose Rendered As Print

Ballerina is an instalove, mafia, dark romance novella, Although, it doesn't really add anything new to the genre, it was a quick read and I enjoyed it.
I liked both Archer and Madison but I feel like their love story would have been more impactful if the book was expanded.
I feel like like this would have been an awesome read if was full length, Sometimes I find with novellas everything happens
so quickly it lacks that emotional punch for me and I feel like characterizations suffer too.
We got so much back story with Madison but we don't really know who Archer is, All we really know is that he is in the mafia and has three brothers, I will say that his possessiveness over Madison was a bit much but I kind of liked that about him.


Also, I was disappointed that there was a shocking lack of ballet in the story which was surprising given the title of the book and what initially attracted me to it in the first place.
It's so hard to find ballet romances that actually feature ballet and was hoping that this one would be a winner.
I don't know, I guess I'm just underwhelmed that this didn't meet my expectations,

With all that being said, it's not a bad story, Like I said before, it's a quick, easy read to pass and there's no over the top drama.
It's not too dark for those who are not really into dark romance and does have a HEA.
Please don't bother yourselves with this one,

I was hoping for some actual stalking, . where the guy follows the girl for days or months, . and then finally gets together with her, But nope! He follows her around a day after they meet unexpectedly and suddenly comes to the conclusion, "This woman needs my protection.
"
And the heroine literally is like, . "ummmmm sure"

Sigh, The covers does not do this book justice!!

This is a instalove dark romance between an everyday girl who

wishes to be a ballerina and her stalker.
Madison has lived a hard life bouncing through numerous orphanages, Left to her own devices at eighteen, she works three jobs to make ends meet, Then one night on her way home she witnesses a murder and her life is forever changed.


Archer never expected to have a witness, especially in the dead of night in a deserted alley.
When his eyes swing over and see the scared girl, hes instantly infatuated, So much so that he demands to escort her home and subsequently becomes her shadow stalker, Seeing the subpar conditions she lives and works in he decides he knows better and kidnaps her.


The tough facade Madison puts up is quick shattered by Archer, Demolishing her inhibitions, working his way into both her body and heart in a matter of hours.
And everything is solidified when a rogue agent from a rival mafia comes for retribution, Thankfully no one is seriously injured but it does set up nicely for the next book,

We meet Archers brother Ace, the mafia head of family, and his identical twin brothers Kane and Cash in this story.
Looking forward to their HEAs down the road,

sitelinkInstagram sitelinkFacebook sitelinkBookbub A short read but in no way is it not chock full of pace, tension and steamy scenarios.
Madison FMC and Archer shouldnt work considering how they first met, With Madison witnessing Archer shooting a man, Starting an obsession he has with Madison which yes has some stalker tendencies but they soon turn from something dark to a possessive yet caring on too.
That which also worked both ways as Archer brought Madison more out of her shell, Her confidence within herself grew with him, Its a really great read It started good but then all of it went flat unfortunately :
I felt also left out on the most important things like.
. . we don't get to see or feel how they fall for each other basically because this is insta everything which usually i don't mind BUT usually there is some kind of build up attraction or something.
. but here nope, they get right into it when we have her being kind of afraid and skittish around him.
Anyway, over all, it was a nice and fast read but a MEH read, even the epilogue it's not enough.
/Stars! Mafia romance. Im loving every bit of this authors books, The sexy times are hot AF, A quick read. Loved it. A short, sexy novella about a young woman, Madison, working to survive and a man, Archer, who lives a dark life.

Madison and Archer

yr old Madison earns a meager wage at a local gym cleaning everything down and clearing out the trash after hours with an agreement from the owner that she could use the facilities after hours to do what she loves, dance ballerina.
By daytime, she works as a stocker at a grocery store, and then a diner before heading back to the gym to work.


One such night as she is cutting through alleys on her way home, she becomes an innocent bystander as she watches a man begging for his life get shot by Archer.


yr old Archer, and his brothers, are the sons of one Paul Valentino, a man who once held the entire city in his hands before his murder.
Archer was in the alleyway getting retribution towards one of the people who stabbed another member of their family in the back, literally stabbed, when Madison comes across him in the alley.


That chance meeting, in which he lets her leave, starts becoming his obsession and his deep infatuation that has him stalking her.
His character is very boarish, controlling, and domineering over his need and want to care for her safety.
But in doing so, creates a bull'seye on her back for those who are wanting to bring down the brothers's regime.


Their instachemistry into instalove made for a quick and intense read, Everything in the book happens within the span of two days before the epilogue, which is a month later.
Looking forward to reading about his twin brothers, Cash and Kane, Their Ballerina next, I liked this story but after the initial fear of witnessing the H kill someone, everything was glossed over.
I mean he is still a killer and will continue to kill but it is never discussed.
There needed to be more story,

STORY:
So here is what I like about this book.
Its like taking a long length book and condensing it to a shorter version, So what would take place in a few months got condense to some days, It will feel like you are reading this on superfast forward as its like insta obsession, love and lust role into one.
There were negatives and positives for me, but I liked it enough where the positives out weight the negatives.
I walked away knowing more about Madison than I really did Archer and his family and what they actually do.
Archer is dark and intense and his sarcasm and thoughts had me laughing, I dont know if it was meant to be funny at times, but it won me over.
His obsession and possessiveness over Madison is what fuel this read for me it was over the top but prefect for these two.



ENJOYMENT / CHEMISTRY:
I like the shy and innocent characteristics of Madison, it was definitely compatible to Archers intense side and that made for an enticing read for me.
Archers growls just had me drenched wherever I could be drenched from, It shows his possessiveness over Madison, and it was a turn on for me in this book.
This made the physical and emotional chemistry good,


SECONDARY CHARACTERS
We got to meet Cash and Kane the twins and Ace.
These were Archers brothers. Meeting them got me a little excited because if they are anything like Archer, I cant wait.


Overall, this was a fast pace story, If you like your story to the point, with an obsessive and possessive guy, an innocent and shy heroine mixed with a little dark, then this is for you.
I dont feel there were really any triggers unless there is a sensitivity to stalking,

I dont equate these stories to real life, Its about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the books you read.
I know we all have different opinions and preferences with what we read and hope this review was helpful.


I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
His Ballerina is a short story written by Darcy Rose and J, L. Beck.
Madison and archer meet at the wrong place and wrong time,
This then turns into a lovely story about two opposites come together,
Fast paced, spice and gangs thrown in,
Its good go read, First of all, I seriously didn't expect for this story to be a novella, At first, I thought it will be a fulllength novel so I was pretty surprised when I found out that it has less thanpages.
However, I do enjoy reading it one way or another, Everything about this book is short and dark yet filled with enough romance,

Overall, I think this book is pretty okay for me but it would be much enjoyable if the story is turned into a full length instead of a novella.
For me, it would be much interesting to see more development in the story and the characters.
Nevertheless, if you want to read something short and dark, then I recommend you reading this one.


ARC received in exchange for honest review A simple storyline crime world, bad guy, impoverished heroine, being in the wrong place at the wrong time love story.
Instant attraction and protectiveness from the alpha male and awakened chemistry from the heroine, this was simple novella of the events pertaining to two characters who get together, and resolves with their falling in love.
Even recognizing this was a novella, their connectedness did not come across as authentic rather it felt forced.
This was a novella for leisure, not much to quibble over, though not especially noteworthy or original.
This was a short quick read that I liked, Madison is trying her best to escape a life of poverty, Young, innocent, and guarded. Shes finally getting ahead when she witnesses a murder outside the dance studio and finds herself in deep with a dark and dangerous criminal.
Archer is smitten by Madison, from the moment they meet, The protocol says to leave no witness behind but he cant imagine hurting her, Against his best judgement he lets her go, but he cant seem to get her out of his head so he stalks her to make sure she doesn't go to the cops.
This book had a lot of action in it and I loved that Archer was willing to do anything to protect her.
This was my first time reading this author, This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling, I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series, .
