BOOK PROMO: Second Position by Katherine Locke

Second Position by Katherine Locke New Adult, Contemporary Romance District Ballet Company #1 Four years ago, a car accident ended Zedekiah Harrow’s ballet career and sent Philadelphia Ballet principal dancer Alyona Miller spinning toward the breakdown that suspended her own. What they lost on the side of the road that day can never be replaced, and grief is always harshest under a spotlight... Now twenty-three, Zed teaches music and theatre at a private school in Washington, D.C. and regularly attends AA meetings to keep the pain at bay. Aly has returned to D.C. to live with her mother while trying to recover from the mental and physical breakdown that forced her to take a leave of absence from the ballet world, and her adoring fans. When Zed and Aly run into each other in a coffee shop, it’s as if no time has passed at all. But without the buffer and escape of dance—and with so much lust, anger and heartbreak hanging between them—their renewed connection will eith...

March 10th - Chapters 1 - 10 March 17th - Chapters 11 - 20 March 24th - Chapters 21 - 34 March 31st - Chapters 34 - 46 ~ MY THOUGHTS ~ Chapters 11 - 20  Each week this gets increasingly harder for me to talk about WITHOUT divulging spoilers, so let's just say, Kestrel flexes her wings, Arin earns some serious street cred, and there wasn't nearly enough kissing. ;) Favorite Scene: On the bridge. Favorite Quote: "Kestrel imagined: his mouth parting against her skin. The teeth of his smile. And she imagined more, she saw what she would do, how she would forget herself, how everything would slip and unloop, like rich ribbon off it's spool. The dream of this held her. She couldn't move."   Sweet baby Valorians in a palace...THIS, THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. ~ PARTICIPATING BLOGGERS ~ Good Ch...

March 10th - Chapters 1 - 10 March 17th - Chapters 11 - 20 March 24th - Chapters 21 - 34 March 31st - Chapters 34 - 46 ~ MY THOUGHTS ~ Chapters 1 - 10 I like to call these the P 3 chapters, wherein Kestrel is Planning, Plotting and Preparing. Planning how to be the best Empress when the time comes. Plotting to get the Emperor to postpone her wedding to his son Verex for as long as possible. Preparing for the Engagement Ball her soon-to-be father-in-law insists on throwing, as well as the possibility of seeing Arin again for the first time since agreeing to the Emperor's deal. She tries to distract herself with games in the Palace, visits with Jess and even spends time with her betrothed. But the closer the ball gets, the more anxious Kestrel grows. Her hope that Arin will come and her disappoint that he may not are palpable. E...

Both are willing to do whatever it takes to protect the ones they love, but at what cost?  Favorite Scene: This is a tie between Kestrel having her hair braided before the ball and THAT MOMENT in the carriage. Because Arin.     Favorite Quote: " You are the god of lies," she hissed. ~ PARTICIPATING BLOGGERS ~ Good Choice Reading Shortie Says...
