Twenty-one-year-old Kaitlyn Porter is
tired of having to attend tiresome dinners with her father’s
business associates, so she livens things up by seeing what
she can get away with. One night, a man named Soren comes to
dinner. She finds him very attractive and begins to tease
him, but is shocked when he plays along rather than getting
flustered. They begin a strange, hot affair. Despite her
growing feelings, Kaitlyn knows there’s something odd about
Soren…
Kaitlyn’s Dance is an
unusual and interesting book. Kaitlyn’s character is a
realistic portrayal of someone who’s still in college but
often longs to be on her own. Her devotion to dance lends
her maturity, but her attempts to irritate her mother show
she can be immature as well. Soren came across mysterious
and brooding yet sexy. His character wasn’t as well
developed as I would have liked, because the story centered
around Kaitlyn’s thoughts, feelings, and reactions. I liked
the spooky atmosphere of much of the story, as well as the
uncertainty about who Soren was and what he wanted from
Kaitlyn. The rather unusual slant on vampirism was also
welcome. Many of the sex scenes were very hot! The only real
flaws to this one were the lack of Soren’s point of view and
my occasional annoyance with the character of Kaitlyn. When
the story ended, I still felt a bit distanced from them, so
their happy ending didn’t ring as true as I’d hoped. |
