A Dance with Death
by Louisa Bacio
She’s a classic…

He’s a bit more modern…

A successful music video choreographer, Raul is constantly surrounded by gorgeous dancers. But his life lacks a vitality and depth he needs to fuel his creative passion. He turns to a 1Night Stand to discover inspiration.

A dance between life and death…

When an accident threatens to cancel the evening of romance, Isabella and Raul will have to dance to a new beat. Can a dance with death change fate?

Enjoy the following excerpt for A DANCE WITH DEATH:

If Raul had met Isabella before that moment, he would have remembered her. She moved with the gait of a lifelong dancer. Elegant. No wonder ballerinas were described with terminology such as a gazelle. He worked with pop stars and modern artists so often, he’d forgotten the beauty of the more simple pleasures. Isabella seemed to shun simple. She embodied grace, refined and fragile.
Where had that thought come from? Despite being in dance—way back in the day—and working as a choreographer and producer, Raul’s image of himself was tilted, off-centered. He lacked agility—an ogre, a brute who would break the porcelain figurine the minute he got her between the sheets. His hard-on raged at the thought of her lithe body stripped bare, wriggling beneath him. Oh, he’d have to go slowly and gently, but she’d scream his name before the night ended. He could use the little ego boost and extracurricular activity.
She watched him, and he grew tired of the stalemate. Time slipped away, too precious to waste on the monotony of hard feelings.
“You need to loosen up.”
She opened her mouth, a line creased her forehead, and he moved, kissing her.
Full lips. His arm slipped around her waist and held her firm against him. She squirmed in his embrace, but soon her lips became more pliant, she leaned into his body, and let out a soft moan.
“That’s more like it,” he said, releasing her. “We need to spend more time kissing than arguing. Deal?”

Adri’s Review:
Oh see this is one that has a little bit of mystery to it…
Raul is rushing to go on his 1Night Stand date, but he ends up having a bit of an accident. One minute he is seeing his life flash before his eyes and the next he finds himself where he is supposed to be meeting with his date.

Isabella, is waiting for her date wondering if she’s done the right thing. Her life is at an impasse at the moment. Her career as a dancer is practically over and she’s doubting that her date will show up. It wouldn’t be the first time she’d be left waiting alone for a date that never shows. Just as doubt and suspicion begins to take place and she decides maybe it’s best she leaves, her date shows up.

The date goes well, but just after Isabella falls asleep, Raul starts to feel afraid that if he falls asleep as well he will never see her again. He battles against the desire to sleep and in the morning asks Isabella about the events that happened before he found himself with her.

Now is he alive or dead? What will Isabella find when she arrives at his home… Was he injured and that is the reason he doesn’t remember or is something else going on? Those are the things you need to read to find out…

Happy Reading… Adri.
