It was about the devotion, the attention, the…whatever it was that made somebody want to be near you, even if they didn’t want anything else.

4.5 stars. Help! This might have scrambled my brain. Super sexy little novella about a Jazz Age dancer who catches the eye of a wealthy older businesswoman. It's short, but Sinclair writes so much heart and personality into these characters, I had hearts in my eyes from the third page. I loved Alice, who is so fiery and strong and totally in control, ready to go after what she wants. I loved the description of her dances, and how she throws herself into them. And Cora is a complete dream. I don't think I've ever put "ice queen" and "service top" in the same sentence before, but now... whew. Listen, this was so good. The smut, yes, but also the desperation and longing behind the romance, the theme of how good it feels to be both watched and seen... I just fell head over heels for this little novella.

“Was I, you know, worth watching?”

Oh my! I devoured this novella in one sitting. It was every bit as hot as I'd expected, and just as swoon worthy. You definitely want to sign up for Roslyn Sinclair's newsletter to receive this delightful freebie!

A riveting and steamy read with great characters and depth despite it being so short. I wish it just kept going, I would've gladly read 300 more pages of Alice and Cora's story.

5 stars. Sinclair is just so damn talented. This novella was so addictive and once I started it I couldn’t put my kindle down until I finished it and it left me wanting more of these characters. I am nothing if not a whore for an Ice Queen so Cora was everything to me. She’s frosty as hell in the beginning and I swooned so hard over her and how she pushed Alice’s buttons. Alice gave just as good as she got (double entendre intended) and I loved that she knew how to go toe to toe with Cora and hold her own. Their chemistry was sizzling and super sexy. Such a good read. Well written, sexy as hell, and likable characters.
