Vincent Gregory hasn’t had any luck on
the job front lately. He’s been working for an escort
service, but when even that dries up he tries out for a job
dancing in an all-male revue. At the tryouts, he finds a
want ad looking for an in-home caregiver, and he calls the
number. To his surprise, he gets an interview that very
day.
Fifty-five year old Jonathan is
disabled and in a wheelchair, but still very attractive.
Vince doesn’t want to be a gigolo, though, so he tries to
keep things between them professional. Can he keep his
other job, and his past, a secret from Jonathan, or will it
destroy everything?
Dancing for Jonathan was
one of those books with an engaging storyline that I still
couldn’t fully connect with. Vince was a fairly sympathetic
character, despite his jobs, in part because I’m a sucker
for down-on-his-luck type heroes. He may have taken a long
time to clue in that his acting career wasn’t going to take
off, but he did what he had to do to survive until he
figured it out. Jonathan, on the other hand, was harder to
get a handle on. I was never sure if he truly cared about
Vince or liked him because he was hot and convenient. The
age difference between Vince and Jonathan, and Jonathan’s
disability, were unusual and made the story more
interesting. Overall I enjoyed Dancing with Jonathan,
but not as much as I hoped to due to my lack of connection
with the characters. |
