If you dance with the devil, you’d better know the steps… 💀

Dance of Devils is dark, emotional, and absolutely sizzling. Jagger Cole delivers a love story that digs its claws in and refuses to let go.

Kir Nicolayev is everything I love in a morally gray anti-hero—cold, calculating, dangerously powerful… and ridiculously sexy. As a Bratva boss, he’s used to control and intimidation, but nothing throws him off more than her.

Brooklyn is strong, driven, and a total force. A fierce dancer chasing her dream of joining Russia’s premiere ballet company, she doesn’t expect to fall into the path of a man like Kir—let alone burn for him.

What starts with punishment and power plays soon morphs into something deeper… raw, intense, and wildly emotional. Their chemistry is magnetic, their banter electric, and their fights? A delicious form of foreplay.

I loved watching Kir fall—hard—for a woman who challenges him in ways no one ever has. And I adored how he showed Brooklyn there’s more to life than the stage—that she is more than just her ambition.

Their story is messy, passionate, and addictively steamy. (Seriously… those scenes?  Yes daddy  🔥🔥🔥)

While this isn’t the darkest or grittiest Jagger Cole book I’ve read, it still hit all the right notes for me, especially given that age gap is not a favorite trope for me.  I couldn’t put it down, and now I need to read more in this series.
