Minimal funds mean struggling for simple things in life, to include food, but she pushes on because of her love of dance. Attending Bellus is an honor that Martina appreciates and strives to do her best. She lives alone in a dismal apartment to afford her the opportunity to live her dream. Martina is a young ballet dancer living in Chicago. A long awaited kiss is as titillating as the forbidden consummation. The anticipation is a wonderful aphrodisiac. The author does not fill the pages with sex but with sexual tension. Her characters are believable and people with whom I could relate. The insight to life as a ballet dancer is intriguing, if on occasion a bit too descriptive. Under Winter Lights: Part One, is a slow burn but definitely kept my attention. Lewandowski has done an excellent job in her debut novel.
I can't wait to find out what the future holds for these characters. I will definitely be reading the next installment in this series. This book allowed me to live those dreams through the characters. It's a world I'll likely never be a part of, but I still have those little girl dreams of being a ballerina.
All I wanted to do was soak up juicy details about the professional dance world. Romance fans will enjoy this book for the chemistry between Martina and Maraav, but for me that storyline took a backseat to the ballet. I just wanted to keep reading so I could remain immersed in that world. The world it showed me was so lovely I never wanted to put the book down. It rekindled my love for dance and made me want to be more diligent about attending my own ballet classes. The details of this book are so rich I felt like I was right there with the characters as they went to rehearsals and performances. It's about a young dancer who struggles with self confidence in the beautiful but sometimes frightening world of professional dance. The gradual realization that there's something more there. Yes, it's the story of Martina and Maraav. I loved this book! And that's saying something for me because this is a romance, and I rarely read romance.
