This is the classical Cinderfella story. Poor but talented Gregg is a struggling dancer with choreographer aspirations; he fought his way on the Off Off Broadway world with seven others fellow dancers, all of them former schoolmates. Now all of them are in a dance company owned by a not interested in the business man who allows his not talented brother to be the choreographer (does this rings a bell in your mind? something similar to two evil step-sisters?).Enter "prince charming" Colin, that to be even more in role has a cool British accent and lives in even cooler London. Colin thinks that Gregg has the potential to be a very famous dancer and wants him to come back in London with him. But Gregg has obligation in New York, not only for his fellow dancers, but also with his sick sister who can't leave New York. Gregg and Colin have to find a way to reach their happily ever after.
The story is nice but... but there is too much sex! I don't mind the sex in the shower when they have met only minutes before, I don't mind the sex in the bedroom soon after they share their first dinner together (and in the same day when they share the shower...), I don't mind the phone sex when they can't have real sex since they are in two different part of the city, I don't mind the repeated sex in the bedroom soon after they share their first lunch, the day after they first met... But 52 pages of book, a day and half span for the story, and four long sex scene maybe it's a bit too much. I believe that the story would be nicer with the same sex scenes but with also a bit more of story in between. Truth be told, the publisher warns you since it states that the book is a "quickie".
I really like the show business setting, the prince charming fashion and also the sex, it's free and good, but maybe it's all too simple and fast. Anyway, if you want something like that, fast and nice, this is a good choice.
