Synopsis
The world of professional ballet is built on illusion. The illusion of perfection. The illusion of effortless beauty. The illusion of eternal love.
But backstage, few members of the Union Ballet Company suffer from such illusions.
Anna Glaser has dreamed of nothing but dancing professionally her entire life. And when she’s finally offered a position with Union, she takes it, giving little more than a passing thought to what she might have to give up in exchange. But Sebastian Kaplan, the director who gave her the chance, won’t forget so easily.
When Anna meets Cain, who has been dubbed by the local media as Union’s most eligible bachelor, she realizes that making a deal with the devil might mean that Heaven — in the form of a gorgeous dark-haired man — is forever out of her reach.
Dancers at Union know that something that glitters and shines under the stage lights can still be vicious and evil when the lights go down.
Adagio is the first episode in the series The Company – an engaging drama-filled ride through the darker parts of the ballet and the lives of those who live to dance.

Review
If you are a dancer or ever were one, let me just point out to you, this book portrays the crazy-intense world of professional dancing quite accurately! You will totally get this story and feel for the characters as they dance their way to success while dealing with all the bumps in the road along with way. Well done to Delancey Stewart for creating a sweet and sexy romance based around a world that I personally LOVE and cherish.
The world of professional ballet is built on illusion. The illusion of perfection. The illusion of effortless beauty. The illusion of eternal love.
Meet Anna Glaser, a young woman whose hopes and dreams revolve around becoming a professional dancer. She is driven, dedicated and will do whatever it takes to succeed. One private audition later, lines are crossed and deals are made. While reconsidering her actions and dealing with the consequences, Anna meets Cain.
Cain is a dancer, a very talented and HOT one at that. The man is gorgeous, plain and simple. He also has no desire to get close to any female dancer within the company. That is, until he eyes off the feisty little Anna. Friendships are built, sparks fly and sexual tension is thick.
This book is a great mix of sweet and sexy. If you enjoy light, sweet romance with a side drama then this book is for you. While I didn't love it, I still really enjoyed reading about Anna, Cain and their friends at the Union Ballet Company. Both the hero and heroine are very likeable, and for me, the secondary characters really made this book all the more interesting.
☆★★ 3.5 sweet stars ☆★★
