suzeseu 's review for:
Dancing with Sin
by Alexandria Lee
I very rarely read cheating novels - I read the odd marriage in trouble trope now and then but my heart hurts too much reading cheating between the MC.
But cheating by the MC’s with each other... I can usually tolerate this if there’s a good reason. But is there ever a good reason to cheat on your fiancé with her sister? Hmmm. Well, no. But the author sure does make a good case for it.
After suffering a heartbreak in New York, dancer Alice moves to Chicago to stay with her beloved older sister, Monica. What she doesn’t count for is sharing the space with Monica’s handsome fiancé, Ethan.
This was a long angsty novel. But with this kind of subject matter, it needs to be. There was no evil sister who treated her man like crap or her sister like garbage like you read in so many of these stories. There were just two people who dated, had a pregnancy scare and quickly got engaged. They didn’t love each other but would have eventually if Alice hadn’t arrived and shown Ethan what he was missing - what they were both missing.
Monica was a workaholic so it helped that she was rarely home and when she was she was so busy that if she looked up she could see what everyone else saw - that Ethan was so smitten with Alice and vice verse. I don’t condone what they did. Alice did hold off for as long as she could but she did give into temptation a few times only to shoo him off in guilt after the fact. The aftermath of the betrayal was rough but I liked that sufficient time was given for the sisters to repair the damage and for Alice and Ethan to eventually find their way back to each other - the right way.
I still very much enjoyed this book and believe that Alice and Ethan are soulmates, but don’t condone what they did as most people would but that just reminds us that even our beloved heroes and heroines are only human and flawed like the rest of us.
